I didn't mind Fireball Ministry. I wouldn't really want to listen to them on album, but live as a warm-up band for this show I thought they worked pretty good. The singers hit the right notes (despite the fact that the lead vocals sounded like Lemmy meets the cookie monster), and I thought the occasional cheesy stage antics fit well with them. Nevermore were pretty good. This is the second time I've seen them. Both times were at the Palladium and both times the sound where I was standing was so shitty that you could barely hear the vocals, and this time, I couldn't hear one of the guitars as good as I would have wanted to (the guy standing on the audience's left of the stage, Jeff or Steve?). The River Dragon Has Come was fucking awesome, besides for Opeth's set that was the highlight of the night for me. During the last few Nevermore songs and all through Opeth's set (except during mellow songs and extended clean interludes and such), the floor was the biggest clusterfuck I have ever seen it at the Palladium. There were so many people trying to cram themselves to the front that it was the most I've ever been crushed at a concert and for the longest time, hahaha. I couldn't believe that when Nevermore left the stage, it was still really really tight and stayed that way all the way until Opeth came on and to the end of show. I'm pretty sure Opeth's set was:

The Baying Of The Hounds
When
Bleak
In My Time Of Need
Deliverance
The Grand Conjuration
Face Of Melinda
Blackwater Park
(encore) Demon Of The Fall

I'm 85% sure on that order. Anyway, there were some annoyingly drunk assholes (and probably some annoyingly sober assholes too) in the audience screaming way too much while Mikael was talking and also during the clean parts. I mean, I'm not saying the occasional cheer during a clean part is bad, you're supporting the band. But no one can hear the fucking music when you're yelling "Yeah Mike you sexy bitch" over and over again and growling all the fucking singing vocals. All in all though, great show. I'd say the second best out of the 5 Opeth shows I've seen. I didn't stick around after to meet the guys because I've already met Mikael twice and Peter and Mendez once, so I didn't really feel up to waiting around.
