To say the least it is far more expensive than any of us think to tour across the world. There are so many things that people dont take into account like : How much money would it cost to get them and all their equipment here and pay for a bus, lighting, hotels, drivers, roadies, food, and the list could go on for awhile. Peaceville isnt willing to get them here for a full tour because of the questionable income possibilities. and their opinion is where I got my opinion. Peaveville just needs to take a chance and a perfect opportunity would have been with Opeth when they had the chance.Ī friend of mine works for Peaceville/Snapper, the only one officially doing U.S. and going from 30 people at one venue to 300 people the next time at the same venue speaks volumes about the positive effects that the tour can have. When I saw them in 2001 I talked to Mike and Peter after the show and I promised them that there would be more people to show up next time. tour in between the two but skipped Charlotte during that tour. This show was at the same place I saw the show in 2001. That was in 2001 and then when I saw them again (I think it was last year or early 04) the place was packed out. The first time I saw them in Charlotte, NC there were maybe 30 people at the show.

The American tours for Opeth have done great things for them here in the U.S. I always thought it looked strange for them to do that. Was that it? When was it? I don't remember even seeing it listed.Īnyway, Katatonia did support Opeth on a tour but Opeth continued their tour into North America and Katatonia dropped immediately. When and where did Katatonia play a US show this summer? I saw someone mention Cleveland.
