Also, if no one was yet aware, new Opeth was put out on youtube this past weekend and it is VERY good.

Could be, but I've also heard Maynard express mild frustration with the tedium/perfectionism of the other members on more than one occasion (on Joe Rogan's podcasts and such). It was only within the past 30 days that they finally allowed any of their catalog to be released on streaming media, which Maynard attributed to the other members.
It's possible that there's also some legal stuff as well, but he's not able to talk about it.
...the biggest problem has been a multi-level lawsuit that has weighed on all of the group members. This stemmed from a claim that a Tool associate had made against the group, but it eventually spiraled into the labyrinthine legal equivalent of a Laurel and Hardy routine, amounting to “who’s suing whom.”

This is from personal experience, when I saw IM (with Dream Theater opening for them) at the same venue several years ago.

I was at that show as well, that time in the lawn area.

That must be the point at which they cranked it up. Fixed IM for you folks who were up in the back, but made it too loud for those of us who were in front of a set of speakers! And yeah, DT needed more volume even from where we were.
