FRET NOT IF YOU MISSED OPETH’S 20TH ANNIVERSARY TOURThe only problem with Opeth’s awesomer-than-awesome twentieth anniversary tour — in which they played Blackwater Park in its entirety, followed by a second set of rarities from the rest of their discography — is that it only played six shows in as many cities, which meant that a lot of fans didn’t get to experience it.

The band is doing their best to remedy the situation, though, by announcing the release of In Live Concert at the Royal Albert Hall, an audio/visual documentation of one of these six already-legendary shows.

Here’s the part of the press release you care about:

The release will be available as three very special configurations:
1. Limited Edition Vinyl Box Set, which includes:
-Double-DVD set of Opeth’s performance at the legendary Royal Albert Hall, in its entirety, including bonus features.
-A set of four 180-gram LP’s of the concert’s live audio in its entirety. The vinyl is housed in black poly lined inner sleeves which are packaged as 2 double gatefold set with exclusive artwork.  Vinyl only available in this box set.
-Exclusive, numbered lithograph with artwork designed by Mikael Åkerfeldt and longtime Opeth designer, Travis Smith.
-20-page, LP sized booklet printed on coated paper stock that chronicles the night’s events in photos.
-Expanded, exclusive artwork and more.
2. A 5-disc set that consists of 2-DVD and 3 CD’s.  The set not only includes the legendary evening captured on video, but the concert’s live audio in its entirety as well.
3. Double-DVD set of Opeth’s performance at the legendary Royal Albert Hall, in its entirety, including bonus features.
So, yeah, that sounds awesome. It comes out September 21 on Roadrunner. I’m gonna go for the five disc DVD/CD set myself, but I suspect that some of you will saving your pennies for the ridiculous Limited Edition version.
