| ______________________________________ [Feb 25,2006 3:00am - the_reverend ""] like an hour? 1 1/2? I'm going to see them tomorrow, but the show sets at 6:30. |
| _________________________________________ [Feb 25,2006 3:40am - SacreligionNLI ""] 6:30? any clue what time opeth is going on? i'm not familiar with how lupo's runs national shows...if they are early or late |

| ______________________________ [Feb 25,2006 12:41pm - pam ""] Opeth makes me sleepy. The only album I fucking love is the one everyone hates. I was told once they were "girl metal". DT rules though, I could go to this show but I don't think I'm going to. I've seen DT a couple times, Opeth about ten times, Jon's going though. Have fun tonight! |
| ___________________________________ [Feb 25,2006 1:15pm - dreadkill ""] i went to the CT show last night. it was great. too many wiggers and mallgoths though. devin townsend band was awesome. they played vampolka and vampira which surprised me. i didn't think they'd play vampolka. dark tranquillity played the first song off the gallery, but focused mostly on the two most recent albums. opeth was awesome. akerfeldt was hilarious as always and played the beginning of lady fantasy by camel. that and under the weeping moon were my favorite parts of the show. |
| ___________________________________ [Feb 25,2006 1:17pm - dreadkill ""] i'm most likely going to tonight's show too. i hope some of my friends are going. i haven't talkd to anyone about it. i'm the only one of my friends going from new bedford, so i guess i'll find my friends there if they go. |

| ___________________________________ [Feb 25,2006 1:34pm - dreadkill ""] yeah, i wish dt would play more older stuff. i like their new stuff too, but i'm sick of hearing the stuff from damage done and character. |
| _____________________________________ [Feb 25,2006 1:38pm - HailTheLeaf ""] doors are at 6:30? damn that's early... |
| _____________________________ [Feb 25,2006 4:51pm - pam ""] The shows out at 10:30! Wicked early. I'm half regretting not going because I have NOTHING to do now. Pretty gay. |
| ___________________________________ [Feb 25,2006 4:52pm - dreadkill ""] you can always drink at one of new bedford's fine boozing establishments. |
| ___________________________________ [Feb 25,2006 4:53pm - dreadkill ""] i might hit up a bar or 2 after the show, since it will be out so early. |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 25,2006 5:52pm - the_reverend ""] so much traffic. leave early |
| _____________________________ [Feb 25,2006 5:55pm - pam ""] dreadkill said:you can always drink at one of new bedford's fine boozing establishments. no car, I'm trapped. I got pizza money and zine work to do, anyway. |
| _______________________________ [Feb 25,2006 6:05pm - Hoser ""] I just saw them in NYC at the Chronology show. Great show....not the best I've seen them, but a great show, and they played a ton of shit from Orchid and Morningrise. All together a great show. New Yorkers are bad fans because they really dont get that excited, and because most of them still don't know who Opeth are. |
| ___________________________________ [Feb 25,2006 6:07pm - dj death ""] pam is hot. |
| ___________________________________ [Feb 25,2006 6:08pm - dj death ""] what zine do you run pam,,, is it RUPURED? |
| ___________________________________ [Feb 25,2006 6:09pm - dj death ""] * RUPTURED, sorry. |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 25,2006 6:11pm - the_reverend ""] pam does aerobix |
| _____________________________________ [Feb 25,2006 6:12pm - AUTOPSY_666 ""] I called Lupo's. DARK TRANQUILLITY starts at 7:15, OPETH at 8:15. I better hit the road! |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 25,2006 7:02pm - the_reverend ""] DTB is on now. the price tag is steeper than the palladium would be by a few dollars, but this venue is like the orpheum (smaller than the palladium, less "pit" area and the balcony is farther forward). it rules. the sound is fucking awesome in here. ps: thank you carina for leading me to the back door. |
| __________________________________ [Feb 25,2006 7:14pm - succubus ""] the_reverend said: ps: thank you carina for leading me to the back door. hahahaha that sounds naughty! but see i told you he'd be there =) your TM got caught off but i think you said yer gonna call me with him wooo |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 25,2006 8:18pm - the_reverend ""] first off this venue is awesome. the ceiling is not high and the lights have webbing to block the sound from echoing. also, they have the speakers set up perfectly. two archs pointing to the balcony and then straight speakers for the floor. whom ever set this place up went to school instead of to daddy's junky music. devin townsend band: short set didn't hear vamppolka, but they did pay vampiria and one other song that I knew off the last CD. they could have played it before I got in front of them, but I don't know. Devins banter was very much like a watered down version of what he would do with SYL. their set was really really short. But what are you going to do. |
| __________________________________ [Feb 25,2006 8:25pm - succubus ""] the 2 times i shot there lighting was soooo dark, mostly reds and of course no flash allowed |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 25,2006 9:12pm - the_reverend ""] lighting was ok. a D2Hs/D200 with a 50mm 1.4 would have been killer here with out flash. the iso 800 limit on the D2X was a little bit underexposed, buut iso 1600 with a 1.4 and the noise redux from the D2X and fo'getdboutit dark tranquillity: another really short set, 30 minutes. They also had some equipment issues which kept them off stage. they did mostly play newer stuff which is cool. I honestly like their CDs, especially damage. It's really catchy stuff. they only played one song off that CD, I think it was the first one. The band members were all over the place on the stage. They also retain the nicest band on stage as they were giving a million hi-5's/hand grasps. I remember them doing the same thing at the lupo's show in the old location. they had to cut a song off the end of their set because of the issues in the beginning of their set.. |
| ____________________________________ [Feb 25,2006 9:43pm - BornSoVile ""] i'm so bored, i wish i was at this show. |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 25,2006 9:46pm - the_reverend ""] the sound here is awesome. you should be here instead of playing sitting at home, playing sonic the jack off |
| ____________________________________ [Feb 25,2006 9:50pm - BornSoVile ""] i wasy busy in the morning and afternoon, fuck, all that's on tonight is headbangers ball. |
| _______________________________________ [Feb 25,2006 10:08pm - the_reverend ""] no SNL? I might be able to get home by midnight. |
| ____________________________________ [Feb 25,2006 11:36pm - dreadkill ""] the best part of tonight's show was when i accidentally walked into the ladies room when i had to take a piss. some girl slapped me. it was one of the funniest things that ever happened to me. |
| ___________________________________ [Feb 26,2006 12:07am - succubus ""] she slapped you? give me a fuckin break man people are lame |
| _______________________________________ [Feb 26,2006 12:14am - the_reverend ""] the hypocrisy... if a guy punched you the cops would get involved. though, I'm guessing if he slapped you there would be a wicked akward pause followed by gay sex. |
| _______________________________________ [Feb 26,2006 12:16am - the_reverend ""] the roads boston north. um.. well, don't go on them unless you don't want to have to turn or break. if you do want to fo'gedboutit. |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 26,2006 12:22am - RustedAngel ""] man, that place is so much better than the palladium. I hope they steal more shows. |
| _____________________________________ [Feb 26,2006 1:18am - HailTheLeaf ""] pics are up... http://www.absolutmetal.com/OpethPicsProv06.htm |

| _________________________________________ [Feb 26,2006 3:55am - SacreligionNLI ""] oh my fucking god was that incredible it's been a while since i rocked out so hard...but then again it was opeth and i was a little "inebriated" |
| ___________________________________ [Feb 26,2006 4:03am - lynneNLI ""] hey im still up drinkin at my buddies place after the show.... upsides of tonight: The lighting and sound was AMAZING (tho a lot of reds... other than that greens) downsides: in order to get into the photopit you essentially had to get onstage and then go over and hop down... sooo you were basically stuck in the photopit once the band started... because of this i decided not to shoot Opeth... well this made me discover the next downfall.... you cant see in this venue... let me tell you i tried... ya im sorta short... (like 5'7" with my boots on) and i couldnt see from any level in the venue... that and i missed DTB :( |
| _________________________________________ [Feb 26,2006 4:10am - SacreligionNLI ""] i'm 6'2" so i could see everything...even though i was headbangin to fuck throughout the whole set next to the main bar...only stopping the headbanging to buy a drink i also remember a backflip on washington st...and talkin to the good rev about a million different things |
| _____________________________________ [Feb 26,2006 5:42am - AUTOPSY_666 ""] I had a fucking blast! $12 parking $20 door charge $28 at the bar $40 for a longsleeve + Fan Pack = 2 stickers and a button OPETH live = priceless! Dan (GOREALITY and ANOXIA) and I went to Jerky's after, it was killer, we won like 9 games of pool in a row and I got a hot chick's number. |
| ___________________________________ [Feb 26,2006 9:40am - dreadkill ""] succubus said:she slapped you? give me a fuckin break man people are lame it wasn't a typical face slap. it was more of a flurry of little slaps all over me. |
