I've seen Metallicas soldout megashows, i saw Nirvana at Roskilde 1992 with an audience of 110000 people and i've seen AC/DC's soldout megashows. But 1990 in Copenhagen Denmark, at a theater called SAGA, i saw King Diamond for the very first time and i can say this - that is the biggest kick i've had within music, and it was as becoming in some kind of trance and i will remember that night for the rest of my life, by far the best concert i've ever seen.
Pink Floyd, Genesis, Zeppelin, Jeff Beck, etc. They set the bar that others followed. Not saying this show isn't good because it IS awesome. Just Sayin'.
Took my daughter to this concert. It was her first concert. She was 6 years old at the time. We were chatting with some other people at the show and they were there to see Matt. Philly show is always a homecoming of sorts. They were heading to the lobby to chat with Matt for a few minutes and invited us along. I know his time was limited and I didn't want to interrupt. But he was awesome enough to take a moment to say hello to my daughter and chat briefly. That's one hell of a memory. And to have this concert forever available for all of us to look back on is priceless.
@@Lunatic4Bizcas Yep! I've been a death metal/black metal/ with influences of classical music and horror movie soundtrack guitarist for 33 years, played in several bands and toured, and I used to get a lot of goth ( real, old school goth like Christian Death ) chicks that hated metal and punk rock but liked the whole ghost story/horror thing of King Diamond and liked the albums. My ex-wife hated my incessant playing of King and Mercyful Fate in my truck as we rode to meet the dope man. Our relationship lasted 14 years, but even tho she cheated on me and did me wrong I loved her. I'm better without a girl that hates King Diamond \m/ \m/
@@cthulhu6697 : I love your comment man. King Diamond is just on a whole other level really. Musically and aesthetically; both him and his band are about as flawless as you can get. As a longtime fan of Goth and the Goth scene; I consider King Diamond to be at the apex of Goth as well; although most critics wouldn't classify or categorize his music as Goth. I'm sure your split with your previous girlfriend was difficult, but I'm sure it has been worth it. I'm considering parting ways with my girlfriend as well and in search of a true Goth chick who'd appreciate the KING.
It's not shot perfectly at all. Had to stop watching just before the 6 minute mark. Couldn't stand the constant camera angle/frame changes every 2 seconds.. Horrible. Unwatchable.
@@benmacdhui yes, his wife is in the backing vocals , probably autotuned too or back track.. who cares. he over 60 years old, had a heart attack . etc. The fact that he is still able to pull a show like this is unbelievable.
Your channel is awesome, BTW....tune into it daily. I once in a while tune into SMOD's channel....but unfortunately the guy who runs it can be an unprofessional douche!
Why did it take so long for the algorithms to bring this masterpiece to me. Brought back the memories of hearing this album play in the attic of a high school friend (which was his dad's band room, full of guitars and amps and drum set) I was hooked, at age 14, and knew I'd play guitar for the rest of my life, and still do, as do my 3 son's, and daughter too! All have heard and been inspired by the birth (in my mind) of heavy metal, the way it should be. Often imitated (for good reason) but never mastered, except for the King.
I love the end of this concert where the band and King give some love back to the audience - there's nothing sadder than seeing a band you love finish their final song and can't wait to get offstage and away from everyone. King is very gracious in receiving the love from his fans.
@@donaldcarroll8422 I've been to plenty. Different styles of music. Mercyful Fate/King Diamond are masters of putting on a show and the guitarists are amazing.
This band and King himself always not disapointed me...i'm a fan since i'm 11 y. o.-now i'm 47 and still have goosebumps when i listen to this guys :).......LONG LIVE THE KING!.......GREETS FROM POLAND TO ALL OF FANS AROUND THE GLOBE!
I've been a fan for as long as I can remember. I had older brothers that were into King and Fate. My first cassette when I was 5 or 6 was Fatal Portrait. I'm 40 now. My daughter is also a fan. This show was her first when she was 6 years old. She got to meet Matt Thompson, who was very gracious with his time. Many fond memories of seeing KD/MF over the years. It's also one of those shows my brothers and a few close friends always come out for. Every time we see King we are rolling in 10 deep. Every show is always better than his last.
Мураши от Ведьминово глаза, такие же как и тридцать лет назад!!! Лучшая группа всех времен и народов! Спасибо за охрененно качественное концертное видео!
To me, Mike Wead is the secret weapon of live shows perfection that's why he plays in both bands King Diamond and Mercyful Fate playing the most complicated parts flawlessly.
How awesome is the crowd? Seriously the energy from the audience is INSANE. I can't wait to see King live. I've watched this easily a 100 times. It's one of the best live performances of any type that I have ever seen. Everything sounds BETTER than the studio versions. The mixing is great, the video is stellar, everything is just right. Hail the King!
Never took the time to really dive into King Diamond’s discography but I always love it when I hear it. This live registration is pure black depraved gold. The performance, skill, theater, audience, camerawork, sound. This is truly awesome!
An absolutely brilliant performance by the band and the man himself. Everything on point (and sounding better than ever, I might add), King Diamond treats fans to an experience that surpasses the average concert. Stay heavy and long live the King 🤘
Quotes from famous musician and High ranking Church of Satan member and very close friend to Anton LaVey - King Diamond "Satanism is about the Powers of the Unknown. I have had hundreds of strange supernatural experiences with the occult, the other side, the beyond, whatever you want to call it that proves there is a spiritual world that can cross over into our world. Satanism is a life philosophy so within it you can have your own religion, any religion you want. Or take from various religions or your own whatever makes you happy. I have my own beliefs and Religiously Satan on a spiritual level stands for the Powers of Darkness, the Powers of the Unknown which are always all around us at all times. This is the best way to talk about these Spirits and Powers. Not a god or a devil as both of them are christian god's and that has nothing to do with Satanism. Of course there are different types of satanism. And I never wear gold as that is not healthy for you! Must need something bad and use that during ritual then you might be able to get help from these powers I believe are all around us. But that is only if they like you. I do not believe in the two christians beings god or the Devil, I believe in the Powers of the Unknown, Powers of Darkness, The Powers of the Occult what ever name you want to use. . I have done Satanic Rituals and have seen and heard spirits. Some people like to call "Them" God or the Devil or whatever, but I do not believe there is all one good and one all bad power. I believe there are many, many different Spirits and Powers that exist and that they are not good or evil, like humans they have both inside of them and I always treat them with the highest amount of respect and feel that respect returned by Them. It is massive mutual respect. Not Power, but Powers, Big difference. I believe we are one and the same me and these Unknown Forces. You really have to respect them for the incredible power they have. I believe they come to those who they feel can handle it and who will be faithful believers." In the song "Welcome Princess of Hell" you hear me singing to these spirits and powers and they sing back to me. They came to me to let me know they are here for me on my journey and that they are behind me and that they wish me good luck so I see them as my protectors almost like guardian angels. We all live several lives so that our powers/souls can grow in order to reach a higher plane and join with something greater. Our powers live in a human shell several times that will enable us to go on to a new life form a higher plane of being or join one day with a larger greater force. But 99 percent of the population live by the Satanic Philosophy whether they know it or not. As Anton LaVey even told me that Satanism is simply a life philosophy and NOT a religion. Satanism is based on logic and things that are proven which is why it could never be a religion as religion is based on things that cannot be proven. And that’s why I say that these powers of darkness are always welcome in my home. It’s as if the powers of the unknown came and said ‘Hey, we will stay with you and help you.’ That’s what I feel.” When I almost died during surgery I saw my body below as a demon tried to enter my soul and I had to fight him! These things are very real! Personally I do not use electrical lighting at home and on my Satanic Altar or in the studio when I record vocals, only black candles as electrical lighting drives away the spirits and I love having them near me. People who see Satanism from the Christian view point are not treating these powers with respect and that is very dangerous. I once actually summoned a spirit in order to prove they are real to a girl who doubted and Satan came. My wife will not look in our mirror in fear something will come out. In Satanism you are your own God. LaVey felt and I agree that we are all individuals born with different needs and views and so he felt everyone should make up their own mind about what to believe in spiritually if anything at all which is why he left a huge void in the Satanic Bible when it came to spirituality or any kind of religious beliefs and so within the Satanic Philosophy a person can still be a Christian if that fulfills their spiritual needs. Satan also means the Opposite, Inverted, Reversed which is why we wear the Satanic crosses and pentagrams. Satan means the opposite of religion. Satanism is living out your feelings and instincts without feeling it is a sin, enjoy yourself while you are here now while you can and have your own individual beliefs. One thing I consider almost mandatory though is believing there are powers around us. And you can use these powers to help yourself or those you care about. Or throw these powers at people in a negative way. I am not religious at all but you can say I am spiritual due to my experiences and beliefs. The Satanic bible is not really a bible because a bible is for religion so it should be called a book of philosophy instead. Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law. When people see the word ‘Satan’ they see only negative. Satan is not only bad, to me. It represents both sides of everything. I don’t believe in the Christian devil. “Christianity has both God and the devil. I believe there is neither of these two. I believe in the powers of the unknown, which I have experienced many times. I know that rituals work. I don’t do them often because you can easily misuse them. They will get back at you if you don’t respect them. Rituals can channel the forces that surround us all the time but I respect the powers and will not abuse them in any way. The Satanic Bible is 70 percent Philosophy and 30 percent magic. Satan is the power of the universe. Satan to me is the Powers of Darkness, not a man with horns. Some people think Satanism is what the Christian church portrays it to be. If you are as bad and as evil as you can be and you think that’s Satanism then you have become part of the Christian religion. That is Christian Satanism which is not what I am about at all. I know these powers are good because they saved my life many times!
This concert sent me down a path this last year that I haven’t been able to get off of. I had listened to a little bit of Mercyful Fate here and there you know the popular songs, but after watching this concert, I bought a bunch of King Diamond and Mercyful Fate albums over this last year.
It's amazing how the guitars are spot on.......truly tight.....the drummer and the bass are amazing as well......talented real musicians that have mastered their instruments Thanks
Back in 1999 during the mercyfulfate tour 9...I got the chance to talk with King Diamond and hes one cool dude.Loves his fans and its heartfelt.King Diamond will always be my favorite band.
Comencé a escuchar King Diamond a los 17 años osea Hace 30 años ...hoy con 47 Lo sigo Disfrutando Tanto como en aquellas Noches en la Casa de mi amigo Cachi y con amigos. Noches Metaleras Tomando Cervezas, Vinos. Cualquier cosa que contuviere alcohol y muchas de esas noches me quedaba en su casa y recuerdo dormir y de fondo esta Gran Banda Legendaria de este Irrompible Genero con su placa FATAL PORTRAIT. Gracias GRACIAS POR ESOS RECUERDOS INOLVIDABLES
Muy cierto,en mi caso hay tantos recuerdos de infancia vividos al ritmo de esta música maravillosa.. nostalgia total!! Pero es grandioso que King Diamond sigue siendo parte del presente ,10/10 para el concierto..saludos🌹
have loved rock my whole life, by accident heard king diamond on spotify about 6 months ago, and absofuckinglutely love them, what an incredible vocalist, and the guitarists and drummer, and yes, the gorgeous back up vocalist are simply magnificent....simply brilliant performance at the Fillmore...
What really impresses me is how true they are to the original recordings. Its like listening to the CD/LP but in live version. The solos are spot on, and so are the vocals and the rest of the band. Really flawless performance.
I'm done with with people nitpicking Kings live vocal he is an amazing vocalist period sure there are overdubs or enhancements who cares most metal singers use them
@@jamestorres9464 I actually appreciate that he has another vocalist helping with the higher notes and that she's not under the stage or behind a curtain. Most (insert music genre here) singers that are using vocal tracks probably shouldn't be singing. Live shows are mean to be just that... live.
King Diamond, a melhor voz do planeta, ninguém alcança notas tão altas. O Rei foi elogiado por vários professores de ópera. Vida longa ao rei. Sou do Brasil e ele tem uma legião de fãs por aqui.
. King Diamond fans for a long time deserved a high quality recorded show. This wonderful day will be eternalized for the enjoyment of future generations. Metal Blade, Thanks for posting to everyone here on youtube!!!! .
Omg... Speechless... lost for words after watching this. I've seen KD twice (1990 & 2005... missed the House of God tour) and he still has it: performance, stage presence, showmanship.... it also extends to the band. Serious serious musicianship here. No words for Andy; everything has been said before. Having quit smoking is the best that happened to King's voice. Speaking of voices: surprinsingly very very good work on the backing vocals of Livia, matching his husband high pitch and also harmonizing. Nothing else... let's watch it again cranked to the max !
I saw the same show live at the factory in Toronto Ontario. It’s so cool to watch it again. It’s like a complicated movie that you need to see twice. King Diamond is my favourite band of all time and I’ve seen them live so many times! King… you are the King! As a musician myself I’m blown away by the talent of everyone in your band. I’m a drummer and from Mickey D to Matt Thompson…. Blows my hair back even though it’s thinning lol. Keep giving us the good stuff my brother!
Matt Thompson is an underappreciated drummer. Love watching drum cam video of him playing. I realize Mikkey Dee created the best of the KD catalog, but Matt is still an amazingly talented drummer. I've commented repeatedly about Matt. But he took a moment to meet with us before this show in the lobby. Took a moment to speak with my 6 year old daughter. I'm forever grateful and appreciative of how generous he was with his time.
He is a King , and Sparkles like a Diamond , but whatever health issues he has had to deal with - it is absolutely EPIC that he can come back with vocals that sound like no other on this planet and still sound identical to the studio albums all these years ago. Pure Scandinavian Talent.
The health scare is the reason he sounds so amazing still. Forced him to give up his bad habits that were detrimental. Undortunate that he had to go through it. But glad he came out on the other side and continues to blow our minds with shows like this.
King has made some of the best metal albums of all time and now im seeing this show with this outstanding performance from King and from these glorious musicians and makes the time for next new album seems passing sooooo slow.
I can't believe how those guitarist shred!!! It's fucking amazing!! Still kicking ass after all these years!! Wish I could meet King and the boys 👍🤘🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥
Fuckin' A! I've been a Mercyful Fate/King Diamond fan since '83. He still sounds amazing! The last time that I saw King Diamond, was in 1993, when he reunited with Mercyful Fate. I saw them live at Studio One in Newark, N.J. Cathedral was the opening act. I got to go backstage and hang out with Cathedral, and King Diamond popped his head in at one point to say hi. I was blown away, he was really cool in person. I'm 52 now, I wish I could still hit those highs! LONG LIVE THE KING 🔥🤘💀🔥
Just watched this again. Still one of the best metal concerts ever captured on film. Every musician gets his share in the spotlight, I just love everything in this. And The King himself, 30 years after Abigail was released, just amazing. I was in Espoo to witness this, I´m glad they made the video, thought after the show that hopefully they do, so fantastic it was. As I can memorize every note, word etc. in Abigail album, this was almost perfect, there are maybe two or three times towards the end of the show, where King can´t quite reach original heights, but only few. Guitarwork is almost 100% as it should be, incredible. Bass, hat´s off ! And Mat´s drumsound is fat and juicy. Until next time !
In the years of university by middle nineties I studied by dawn and the darkness gave me a spine goose bumps when I listened this Rhymes of grandma, specially with "them" record. King Diamond definitely striked a generation with his whistle notes. Yeah........
I got turned on in 84 still in HIgh school NY.! Moved to Florida 87 and bought Melissa and The rare and unreleased.! I am also 60yrs old. HES PLAYING TAMPA ST PETE 10 26 24 AND MY BIRTHDAY IS 10 27 AND I WILL BE THERE.!!
AMAZING! King keep serving a unbelievable performance. One of the most memorable voices in music! All King Diamond team are doing great, actually. Truly congrats to all of you.
Музыканты настолько профессионалы своего искусства что улыбка сама собой появляется на лице от их мастерства!!! Черт возьми это самое охеренное шоу Кинга!!! Обожаю его и его творчество - музыка ну просто МОЕ!!! Мурашки по коже!!! Musicians are so professional in their art that a smile naturally appears on their face from their skill!!! Damn it, this is King's most fucking show!!! I love him and his work - the music is just MINE!!! Goosebumps!!!
I was fortunate enough to see King on the Them tour at the Arcadia in Dallas Texas October 1, 1988 and several times since... Still so damn good! Big love brother.
I’ve watched all or snippets of the show hundreds of times and each time I see something I hadn’t noticed before. Today it was Joanie convulsing during’ Possession’ so that you actually thought a demon child was inside her. Also the excellent close up of the drummer on ‘ Abigail.’ It gives me tingles every time. 61 y.o. Metal Head.
Wow! What a great show! King Diamond has a great voice and a great band supporting him! AND! I really like how the songs he played are almost exactly like the albums. No ad libbing when played live! Hope to see new music from him in 2021!
Something I’ve never experienced... a King Diamond concert... or even Merciful Fate... but I have experienced a crazy storm while listening to the album Them On a kick ass stereo system..... AT MIDNIGHT!!!!
Listening to Mr. King Diamond since 1985. Always a source of optimism and ironic outlook on life! An excellent author and performer, and his musicians too. Thanks to Metal Blade for the awesome release!
I love this soooo much!! With all my black little heart 🖤 such an amazing performance and talent. The vocals and guitar solos reach my inner soul, and give me goosebumps every single time.
Subido con muy buena calidad, se agradece y esta gran banda de leyenda también se lo merece. Nada más verlo me hice con uno, vale la pena tenerlo original. Los descubrí con 14 años y a mis 47 no me canso de escucharlos. Larga vida a todos los Metaleros!!
Так эта идеальность "как на альбомах" и подводит. Не может он так идеально петь в живую. Достаточно послушать другие концерты. А тут ни одной ноты мимо, ровный звук, все слова четко слышно, что в начале, что в конце концерта никакой усталости в голосе. Дедушка крутой, но не до такой степени. )))
@@ДолларнеДеньги Чепуха. Всё у него вживую. Да, у него были проблемы с голосом в конце 90-х, но он подлечил горло, и всё в порядке. Кстати, я видел всё это шоу вживую, летом того же года в Лондоне. Сам не ожидал, как он пел.
WOW ! I haven´t seen such a beautiful live performance for a long time ! Especially the show and sound is on the top level ! And King of course ! Long live the King !
Who wouldn't get goosebumps watching Live the great 👑 Diamond the Great Story Teller. I'm in my late forty's and i grew up Heavy Metal and will alwys be a Metal heads Guy till I'd die. Peace to all Metal Guys out thr....in the world.

This is one of the most epic Metal concerts ever recorded.
I agree
Also agree, I have watched this over and over. Looking forward to a new tour!
Just came back from a show at the Fillmore. The sound there is incredible. I can see why this was recorded there.

Totally unbelievable that King can still sing like this. Amazing.

Why did it take so long for the algorithms to bring this masterpiece to me.

All have heard and been inspired by the birth (in my mind) of heavy metal, the way it should be. Often imitated (for good reason) but never mastered, except for the King.
I love the end of this concert where the band and King give some love back to the audience - there's nothing sadder than seeing a band you love finish their final song and can't wait to get offstage and away from everyone. King is very gracious in receiving the love from his fans.

This show was her first when she was 6 years old. She got to meet Matt Thompson, who was very gracious with his time. Many fond memories of seeing KD/MF over the years. It's also one of those shows my brothers and a few close friends always come out for. Every time we see King we are rolling in 10 deep. Every show is always better than his last.
Me too and I am 53
Мураши от Ведьминово глаза, такие же как и тридцать лет назад!!! Лучшая группа всех времен и народов! Спасибо за охрененно качественное концертное видео!
To me, Mike Wead is the secret weapon of live shows perfection that's why he plays in both bands King Diamond and Mercyful Fate playing the most complicated parts flawlessly.
Words simply cannot describe just how amazing this live album is.
This is too good to be. King Diamond is one of a kind, it’s a truly unique band
One of the best live show in heavy metal universe.
This is one of the top moments in the history of metal!
Absolutely amazing! This man and his band are beyond f*cking legendary!!
I am 59 years old and I consider this one of the best concerts I ‘ve seen. Amazing !!!
Bro I'm 56 and I agree, the live recording is as good as the studio
How awesome is the crowd? Seriously the energy from the audience is INSANE. I can't wait to see King live. I've watched this easily a 100 times. It's one of the best live performances of any type that I have ever seen. Everything sounds BETTER than the studio versions. The mixing is great, the video is stellar, everything is just right. Hail the King!
King fans are the best. Can't wait to see him in October
@trentonwalker8602 Me too friend.! I'm driving over from Daytona. My birthday is 10 27. The nite after.! Close enough.!!
Never took the time to really dive into King Diamond’s discography but I always love it when I hear it. This live registration is pure black depraved gold. The performance, skill, theater, audience, camerawork, sound. This is truly awesome!
An absolutely brilliant performance by the band and the man himself. Everything on point (and sounding better than ever, I might add), King Diamond treats fans to an experience that surpasses the average concert. Stay heavy and long live the King 🤘
King Diamond must be immortal. Killer performance 🤘
He is the god of darkness

Quotes from famous musician and High ranking Church of Satan member and very close friend to Anton LaVey - King Diamond "Satanism is about the Powers of the Unknown. I have had hundreds of strange supernatural experiences with the occult, the other side, the beyond, whatever you want to call it that proves there is a spiritual world that can cross over into our world. Satanism is a life philosophy so within it you can have your own religion, any religion you want. Or take from various religions or your own whatever makes you happy. I have my own beliefs and Religiously Satan on a spiritual level stands for the Powers of Darkness, the Powers of the Unknown which are always all around us at all times. This is the best way to talk about these Spirits and Powers. Not a god or a devil as both of them are christian god's and that has nothing to do with Satanism. Of course there are different types of satanism. And I never wear gold as that is not healthy for you!
Must need something bad and use that during ritual then you might be able to get help from these powers I believe are all around us. But that is only if they like you. I do not believe in the two christians beings god or the Devil, I believe in the Powers of the Unknown, Powers of Darkness, The Powers of the Occult what ever name you want to use. . I have done Satanic Rituals and have seen and heard spirits.
Some people like to call "Them" God or the Devil or whatever, but I do not believe there is all one good and one all bad power. I believe there are many, many different Spirits and Powers that exist and that they are not good or evil, like humans they have both inside of them and I always treat them with the highest amount of respect and feel that respect returned by Them. It is massive mutual respect. Not Power, but Powers, Big difference. I believe we are one and the same me and these Unknown Forces. You really have to respect them for the incredible power they have. I believe they come to those who they feel can handle it and who will be faithful believers." In the song "Welcome Princess of Hell" you hear me singing to these spirits and powers and they sing back to me. They came to me to let me know they are here for me on my journey and that they are behind me and that they wish me good luck so I see them as my protectors almost like guardian angels. We all live several lives so that our powers/souls can grow in order to reach a higher plane and join with something greater. Our powers live in a human shell several times that will enable us to go on to a new life form a higher plane of being or join one day with a larger greater force. But 99 percent of the population live by the Satanic Philosophy whether they know it or not. As Anton LaVey even told me that Satanism is simply a life philosophy and NOT a religion. Satanism is based on logic and things that are proven which is why it could never be a religion as religion is based on things that cannot be proven.
And that’s why I say that these powers of darkness are always welcome in my home. It’s as if the powers of the unknown came and said ‘Hey, we will stay with you and help you.’ That’s what I feel.” When I almost died during surgery I saw my body below as a demon tried to enter my soul and I had to fight him! These things are very real!
Personally I do not use electrical lighting at home and on my Satanic Altar or in the studio when I record vocals, only black candles as electrical lighting drives away the spirits and I love having them near me. People who see Satanism from the Christian view point are not treating these powers with respect and that is very dangerous. I once actually summoned a spirit in order to prove they are real to a girl who doubted and Satan came. My wife will not look in our mirror in fear something will come out.
In Satanism you are your own God. LaVey felt and I agree that we are all individuals born with different needs and views and so he felt everyone should make up their own mind about what to believe in spiritually if anything at all which is why he left a huge void in the Satanic Bible when it came to spirituality or any kind of religious beliefs and so within the Satanic Philosophy a person can still be a Christian if that fulfills their spiritual needs. Satan also means the Opposite, Inverted, Reversed which is why we wear the Satanic crosses and pentagrams. Satan means the opposite of religion. Satanism is living out your feelings and instincts without feeling it is a sin, enjoy yourself while you are here now while you can and have your own individual beliefs. One thing I consider almost mandatory though is believing there are powers around us. And you can use these powers to help yourself or those you care about. Or throw these powers at people in a negative way. I am not religious at all but you can say I am spiritual due to my experiences and beliefs. The Satanic bible is not really a bible because a bible is for religion so it should be called a book of philosophy instead. Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law.
When people see the word ‘Satan’ they see only negative. Satan is not only bad, to me. It represents both sides of everything. I don’t believe in the Christian devil.
“Christianity has both God and the devil. I believe there is neither of these two. I believe in the powers of the unknown, which I have experienced many times. I know that rituals work. I don’t do them often because you can easily misuse them. They will get back at you if you don’t respect them. Rituals can channel the forces that surround us all the time but I respect the powers and will not abuse them in any way. The Satanic Bible is 70 percent Philosophy and 30 percent magic. Satan is the power of the universe. Satan to me is the Powers of Darkness, not a man with horns. Some people think Satanism is what the Christian church portrays it to be. If you are as bad and as evil as you can be and you think that’s Satanism then you have become part of the Christian religion. That is Christian Satanism which is not what I am about at all. I know these powers are good because they saved my life many times!
I think his cardiologist would disagree.lol
Bad Weed Never Dies
This concert sent me down a path this last year that I haven’t been able to get off of. I had listened to a little bit of Mercyful Fate here and there you know the popular songs, but after watching this concert, I bought a bunch of King Diamond and Mercyful Fate albums over this last year.
It's amazing how the guitars are spot on.......truly tight.....the drummer and the bass are amazing as well......talented real musicians that have mastered their instruments
Thanks
sleepless nights in this performance has to be one of the greatest live performances everrrrr!!!
35 years later, it still blasts from the windows of my truck!! Long live the King!
Back in 1999 during the mercyfulfate tour 9...I got the chance to talk with King Diamond and hes one cool dude.Loves his fans and its heartfelt.King Diamond will always be my favorite band.
Best of the Best. Best concert ever. King Diamond rules forever.
Comencé a escuchar King Diamond a los 17 años osea Hace 30 años ...hoy con 47 Lo sigo Disfrutando Tanto como en aquellas Noches en la Casa de mi amigo Cachi y con amigos. Noches Metaleras Tomando Cervezas, Vinos. Cualquier cosa que contuviere alcohol y muchas de esas noches me quedaba en su casa y recuerdo dormir y de fondo esta Gran Banda Legendaria de este Irrompible Genero con su placa FATAL PORTRAIT. Gracias GRACIAS POR ESOS RECUERDOS INOLVIDABLES
Mercyfull Fate
Muy cierto,en mi caso hay tantos recuerdos de infancia vividos al ritmo de esta música maravillosa.. nostalgia total!! Pero es grandioso que King Diamond sigue siendo parte del presente ,10/10 para el concierto..saludos🌹
Los conocí por el mismo disco y por el cual me hice fan desde los 14años
Grandes palabras para el Rey 🔥🔥🔥🔥🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🙏🙏🙏🙏
have loved rock my whole life, by accident heard king diamond on spotify about 6 months ago, and absofuckinglutely love them, what an incredible vocalist, and the guitarists and drummer, and yes, the gorgeous back up vocalist are simply magnificent....simply brilliant performance at the Fillmore...
Backup vocalist is his wife, Livia
What really impresses me is how true they are to the original recordings. Its like listening to the CD/LP but in live version. The solos are spot on, and so are the vocals and the rest of the band. Really flawless performance.
I'm done with with people nitpicking Kings live vocal he is an amazing vocalist period sure there are overdubs or enhancements who cares most metal singers use them
@@jamestorres9464 I actually appreciate that he has another vocalist helping with the higher notes and that she's not under the stage or behind a curtain. Most (insert music genre here) singers that are using vocal tracks probably shouldn't be singing. Live shows are mean to be just that... live.
@@jamestorres9464 I never ment anything negative about the band with my statement, so don´t shoot at me.
@@steve_esq. It is his wife, the backing vocalist
This is pretty much most modern bands now, they have to or they can't compete
It does not get any more metal than this. What an incredible performance!
Слушаю его альбомы с 87 года. Он неподрожаемый! Все альбомы!
King Diamond, a melhor voz do planeta, ninguém alcança notas tão altas. O Rei foi elogiado por vários professores de ópera. Vida longa ao rei. Sou do Brasil e ele tem uma legião de fãs por aqui.
One of the best live performance I ever seen! Fascinating!
.
King Diamond fans for a long time deserved a high quality recorded show. This wonderful day will be eternalized for the enjoyment of future generations. Metal Blade, Thanks for posting to everyone here on youtube!!!!
.
Omg... Speechless... lost for words after watching this. I've seen KD twice (1990 & 2005... missed the House of God tour) and he still has it: performance, stage presence, showmanship.... it also extends to the band. Serious serious musicianship here. No words for Andy; everything has been said before. Having quit smoking is the best that happened to King's voice. Speaking of voices: surprinsingly very very good work on the backing vocals of Livia, matching his husband high pitch and also harmonizing.
Nothing else... let's watch it again cranked to the max !
One of the best live metal bands on the planet hands down man..
Long live the king!!
わたくし、齢５９で、小６の頃街のレコード屋行った時にベイ・シティ・ローラーズの曲が流れてて、かっけー歌だなだと思い、聞きながらLP（最早死語）を見てたらスゲー化粧の４人組のLPがあったので、家に帰って親に金もらって買いました。（もちろん ベイシティローラーズのLPも）
という事で、小６の頃から過激な音楽にハマり現在に至ってます。
そして今日初めてこのキングダイヤモンドというバンド言うバンドのライブを見ています。
ジューダスのロブハルと聖飢魔IIディーモンコグレ、プラスThe冠、SEX MACHINEGUNSをミックスしたような感じですね。
なんか演歌っぽい部分も有りますね
Давно не слушал эти вещи. Прямо как в счастливое и беззаботное прошлое вернулся!
I saw the same show live at the factory in Toronto Ontario. It’s so cool to watch it again. It’s like a complicated movie that you need to see twice. King Diamond is my favourite band of all time and I’ve seen them live so many times! King… you are the King! As a musician myself I’m blown away by the talent of everyone in your band. I’m a drummer and from Mickey D to Matt Thompson…. Blows my hair back even though it’s thinning lol. Keep giving us the good stuff my brother!
Matt Thompson is an underappreciated drummer. Love watching drum cam video of him playing. I realize Mikkey Dee created the best of the KD catalog, but Matt is still an amazingly talented drummer.
I've commented repeatedly about Matt. But he took a moment to meet with us before this show in the lobby. Took a moment to speak with my 6 year old daughter. I'm forever grateful and appreciative of how generous he was with his time.
Still listening to the King at 61. Vocals, music, show - the whole package and then some. Fucking excellent!
Sleepless Nights, when I hear this solos, this melodies... it is like 90's are back for few seconds :)
He is a King , and Sparkles like a Diamond , but whatever health issues he has had to deal with - it is absolutely EPIC that he can come back with vocals that sound like no other on this planet and still sound identical to the studio albums all these years ago. Pure Scandinavian Talent.
The health scare is the reason he sounds so amazing still. Forced him to give up his bad habits that were detrimental. Undortunate that he had to go through it. But glad he came out on the other side and continues to blow our minds with shows like this.
I thought he was Danish?
Аж до дрожи пробирает ! King Diamond - Настоящий шедевр !!!
King Diamond is MASTER! GENIUS!
King has made some of the best metal albums of all time and now im seeing this show with this outstanding performance from King and from these glorious musicians and makes the time for next new album seems passing sooooo slow.
Holy fuck!!
Master at his craft!
Long live the King!
Esos cambios de ritmo en la composición musical son magistrales, hay que tener un sentido musical muy avanzado, genios....
I can't believe how those guitarist shred!!! It's fucking amazing!! Still kicking ass after all these years!! Wish I could meet King and the boys 👍🤘🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥
Both these guys are awesome guitar players and underrated also. The entire band is great. Musical talent.
This has to be the best film of a live show I’ve ever seen. This is amazing. Hails King Diamond! 🗡
yeah they sound better live than alot of bands sound on they're albums.
@@danielpaquet3963 Top notch musicianship.

I have watched this at least 30 times now. Still love it every time. The editing amazes me.
This man truly is a fucking KING....I'm 51 and this still fucking rocks. Long live the King.
i said the same been listning to the king im 46 he is the king and his voice iz still fcking golden
Fuckin' A!
I've been a Mercyful Fate/King Diamond fan since '83. He still sounds amazing!
The last time that I saw King Diamond, was in 1993, when he reunited with Mercyful Fate. I saw them live at Studio One in Newark, N.J.
Cathedral was the opening act. I got to go backstage and hang out with Cathedral, and King Diamond popped his head in at one point to say hi.
I was blown away, he was really cool in person.
I'm 52 now, I wish I could still hit those highs!
LONG LIVE THE KING
🔥🤘💀🔥
I am 55 and have listened to him from the start.
Simply AMAZING?
Long live the King...
Fuck yeah! Unbelieveable performance, 52 and this is epic.
When i die i want a one song on my funeral, guess what is it?......a fckng FUNERAL ;)
Just watched this again. Still one of the best metal concerts ever captured on film. Every musician gets his share in the spotlight, I just love everything in this. And The King himself, 30 years after Abigail was released, just amazing. I was in Espoo to witness this, I´m glad they made the video, thought after the show that hopefully they do, so fantastic it was. As I can memorize every note, word etc. in Abigail album, this was almost perfect, there are maybe two or three times towards the end of the show, where King can´t quite reach original heights, but only few. Guitarwork is almost 100% as it should be, incredible. Bass, hat´s off ! And Mat´s drumsound is fat and juicy. Until next time !
Andy LaRocque must be one of the best metal players ever!! SO unrated
Facts 🤘
I agree so MUCH
He played on Death's record, Individual Thought Patterns
Especially when it comes to solos. Second to none.
@@lexbeltran1354 and Chuck wanted him to stay full time im Death!
I've been with you since Merciful Fate! You still sound great as the first day I heard you! Stay healthy King!
In the years of university by middle nineties I studied by dawn and the darkness gave me a spine goose bumps when I listened this Rhymes of grandma, specially with "them" record. King Diamond definitely striked a generation with his whistle notes. Yeah........
Flawless performance, All hail the King!.
Hail hail hail the King 🙌 🙌 🙌
Hail the King
I hail no man.
O mestre Diamond eleva o metal a um nível que nenhuma outra banda vai conseguir chegar, nunca.... Suas músicas são inigualáveis.
Incredible musicians. Every one. Thank you!
I've been a true fan since 1987 and still am at 60!
I got turned on in 84 still in HIgh school NY.! Moved to Florida 87 and bought Melissa and The rare and unreleased.! I am also 60yrs old. HES PLAYING TAMPA ST PETE 10 26 24 AND MY BIRTHDAY IS 10 27 AND I WILL BE THERE.!!
All Salute The King Diamond 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🔥🔥🔥🔥
People don’t realize the writing that went on with King’s music. I mean it is absolutely amazing
Yes that danish man got a great horror literature
Verdade amigo, escute também a banda sarcófago do Brasil e verá que é ótima
its truly amazing. still a true masterpiece of a band that technically outruns almost any band nowadays.
Overdubs
I agree wholeheartedly !
AMAZING! King keep serving a unbelievable performance. One of the most memorable voices in music! All King Diamond team are doing great, actually. Truly congrats to all of you.
👏🏼👏🏼 ¡ Absolutely ! I was fortunate to see the LA leg of this tour. 👏🏼👏🏼
Jesus fucking christ, the quality of everything.
The performance, the mixing the editing. The crowd.
Thank you so much for this.
The King is the best !❤❤❤❤
I can't stop coming back and watching this concert. It's one of the most awesome concerts ever. 🤘

I was fortunate enough to see King on the Them tour at the Arcadia in Dallas Texas October 1, 1988 and several times since... Still so damn good! Big love brother.
I’ve watched all or snippets of the show hundreds of times and each time I see something I hadn’t noticed before. Today it was Joanie convulsing during’ Possession’ so that you actually thought a demon child was inside her. Also the excellent close up of the drummer on ‘ Abigail.’ It gives me tingles every time. 61 y.o. Metal Head.
Wow! What a great show! King Diamond has a great voice and a great band supporting him! AND! I really like how the songs he played are almost exactly like the albums. No ad libbing when played live! Hope to see new music from him in 2021!
I need this shit back! Shows like this are the thing I miss the most in life!
Right, Im dying to go to a show... FUCK COVID
He truly deserves the title.
Something I’ve never experienced... a King Diamond concert... or even Merciful Fate... but I have experienced a crazy storm while listening to the album Them On a kick ass stereo system..... AT MIDNIGHT!!!!
Listening to Mr. King Diamond since 1985.
Always a source of optimism and ironic outlook on life!
An excellent author and performer, and his musicians too.
Thanks to Metal Blade for the awesome release!
One of the best live albums ever. Great set list and the everybody is on fire.
The King! One of the nicest dudes in music.🤘🤘
I love this soooo much!! With all my black little heart 🖤 such an amazing performance and talent. The vocals and guitar solos reach my inner soul, and give me goosebumps every single time.
Subido con muy buena calidad, se agradece y esta gran banda de leyenda también se lo merece. Nada más verlo me hice con uno, vale la pena tenerlo original.
Los descubrí con 14 años y a mis 47 no me canso de escucharlos. Larga vida a todos los Metaleros!!
This man is 66 yrs old, and has an insanely flawless voice, STILL !! Untouchable range and power, "truly supernatural" LONG LIVE THE KING🤘🌘🕸️🕷️🍁
With King Diamond you are on the safe side, every concert is always a memorable show
Просто охренеть! Просто в копейку сыграно как на альбомах! Ну и самое главное - голос у дядьки Кинга такой же как и 35 лет назад! Потрясающе! \m/
Да капец вообще! У меня мурашки не проходят! Шоу грандиозное! Суперпрофи все ребята ,конечно! Отдельный кайф это гитара старины Энди! Бог просто!
какой он великий и ужасный - просто нет слов, я как будто попал 1987 год, сыграно на высочайшем уровне !!!!!
Так эта идеальность "как на альбомах" и подводит. Не может он так идеально петь в живую. Достаточно послушать другие концерты. А тут ни одной ноты мимо, ровный звук, все слова четко слышно, что в начале, что в конце концерта никакой усталости в голосе. Дедушка крутой, но не до такой степени. )))
