Opeth have only played Moonlapse Vertigo live 8 times: six times in 2000, once in 2001, and once in 2006. This is their latest (and likely their last ever) performance of one of Still Life's best tracks. I shared this performance once before, about 5 years ago. So why am I posting it again? Over the years, I've traded for four audio sources and two video sources of this show. None of them are outstanding - but there's some decent choice in there, and needless to say, the rarity of this track deserves the attention. So I selected the best, remastered it, and matrixed it with one of the videos. The end result is a pretty significant improvement. I also considered merging both videos and editing in multiple shots, but this would be a lot of work (particularly when factoring in YouTube's audio latency “feature“ that was introduced in 2022). Apologies for not putting this together. I might revisit the concept one day when I have more time, though. Lastly, Moonlapse is an incredible song. Mikael may not like playing it live anymore, but recordings of this one are gold dust - so it's worth the effort! Enjoy.
