I will now that I've seen them once. :) While I agree with you on some bands' "antics", Opeth just seemed particularly *lifeless*. There are many bands who need to stand still due to the complexity of the music and the concentration required to play it, but at least they show some emotion and act as if they are enjoying what they are doing, rather than just playing as if there were no audience. I thought I had caught them on a bad night but others I spoke to confirmed my impression. Ah, well, to each his own. Mike
