I have seen a lot of bands live in the three decades that I
have existed on this rock in space. The only band that I’ve seen nearly a dozen
times is Opeth. To say that they’re my favorite band is an understatement. I
first saw them when they were on the Blackest of Black tour back in 2003. They
only played two songs but it was amazing. I have caught them nearly every time
that they came through the valley. On the rare chance that they didn’t come
directly through the Phoenix area then I would usually travel to a neighboring
city to see them. With the release of Sorceress earlier this year it was time
for Opeth to embark on their world tour.
