I can understand why though, its their most popular album, and also their 'breakthrough' album. I would prefer Still Life, but I still consider BWP to be a classic nonetheless and would easily give my left testicle to see this show.

half of qwe going to a concert would be messy.

At the venue you’ll also get a nice Opeth rucksack which will be filled with a Ltd. Edition t-shirt, unique to each show, a signed tour programme and a copy of the /Blackwater Park/ special edition CD/DVD/ /which includes a 5.1 mix and a 30-minute, never-before-seen documentary, all nicely packaged in a hard cover digipack (to be released end of March via Sony Music so don’t buy it already if it’s out before the show!)


dont care about the rucksack and shirt so much, although theyd be cool. but the dvd/cd and programme look BADASS
