I don't think I'm going to get this as I have limited money and really want to get Watershed (as I already have the tracks on here).

But damn, the tracklist is amazing- like fucking AMAZING, man. Opeth has this really cool habit of surprising audiences with the songs they choose to play, but after seeing them 5 times I never expected they would play Night and the Silent Water live. What's more, like the review points out, the GR tour was when they were sounding their absolute best as a live band.

Actually, I would be tempted to get this just to hear how they make BWP last for 19 minutes.

Great live album

The only real complaint is that two discs (really 1.5 as disc 2 is only 38 minutes and 8 of that is Mikael talking) just isn't f'king enough for Opeth. Conceivably they should have had enough variety to flesh out the second CD as well as possibly a third CD.
