Further info, from Wiki, Opeth (my boldface):

"To celebrate their 20th anniversary, Opeth performed a six-show, worldwide tour called Evolution XX: An Opeth Anthology, from March 30 through April 9, 2010. Blackwater Park was performed in its entirety, along with several songs never before performed. Åkerfeldt stated, "I can't believe it, but, fuck, we're celebrating 20 years. I've been in this band ever since I was 16. It's insane." A special edition of Blackwater Park was released on the March 29, 2010, to coincide with the tour.

It has been officially announced that there will be a DVD release of the Evolution XX concert filmed on the April 5, 2010 at the Royal Albert Hall in London, England.

The DVD will be called In Live Concert at the Royal Albert Hall and is set to be released on the 21st of September, 2010. For the DVD the concert was split into two sets. The first set consists of the entire Blackwater Park album, while the second will have one song from every album excluding Blackwater Park, in chronological order representing the 20 years of 'evolution' in their music."

Royal Albert Hall - man, that's BIG.

But these guys, if any, have really deserved it. They have slowly and honestly built up their fanbase, without at any point doin anythin gratuitously sensational.

All kudos, guys
