I saw Queensryche 4 times in their prime. My wife and I met the original band at a show in Cincinnati. Just us and them. My wife's connections helped. I remember the guitarists being the friendliest of the band. Geoff seemed to not want to be there.
@@left-wingprophet4775 Geoff is too much into himself and very reserved...but as long as he signed and took a photo...all that matters. I love them for the band..,Chris so sweet and Eddie and Scott just quiet but love the fans
There is no Queensryche without Geoff Tate, Chris Degarmo, Scott Rockenfield, Michael Wilton and Eddie Jackson. They were are and always will be Queensryche. Anything else falls short.
The first time that I heard them I was hooked Geoff Tate voice and Chris DeGarmo on the guitar and the rest of the guy wow. I love this song roads to Madness..
I saw them at the Civic Center here in Baltimore and do you are right there's no planes right without the original guy and when Chris DeGarmo left in 98 Chris got tired of the politics but he was a great still great guitars and all the great songs that all them guys were in the 80s wow
without even a close second and we have some really great seconds but theyre far far behind this theyre great great singers who in the studio can do it all , Geoff can bring it at will and with so much more feeling it is almost unreal !
@@sarahhurst701 Saw them in 91'. There really aren't enough words. I haven't ever seen a better show. It's one of my fondest memories. They sounded every bit as good live as they did on the albums.
Empire with $uicidal was great but I also saw Mindcrime and they opened for Metallica which was crazy great.I must say though seeing Promised Land and with them on a tiny stage in a bar ON stage was The coolest concept I ever saw and that song was Amazing.
Geoff sung the most difficult vocals!!! No singer could do what he did for decades and thousands of shows! He is truly one of the most influential singers of his time! He is a true vocal God!!
Interesting fact if you didn't know. He was taught by the same vocal coach as the Wilson sisters from Heart. I don't know who it is (lazy), but that dude should be in some sort of Hall of Fame.
@@pangeo8183 Fuck yeah Joel! Knew it couldn't be JUST 2 of the most influential bands from the area. I should not be surprised. Bet he taught plenty of others, as well. Thanks bro, really appreciate learning this from you.
@@pangeo8183 Damn, thought I replied but evidently I did not. Many thanks for the ID, Mr David Kyle has all of my respect and praise. Dude has a serious CV. Really appreciate you cluing me in.
The most Deep and Powerful lyrics I ever heard.. Always been my favorite Queensryche Song for many reasons. Struggling through health issues and getting older has Definitely put me on the Roads to Madness. So glad I was a teenager back in these days and now see the true meaning of this song. Seeing Light At The End Of Sight Reminds Me I've Passed Away...
Remember seeing Queensryche on tv in the 80s. We where all drunk at a party. Since that day i always loved queensryche. Seeing Jeff running on stage performing vocal masterpiece. I always get very sentimental listening to them. Makes me cry. Tears running down my chin because of their impact in my life.
Clearly this is incredible. I love Todd but THIS is Queensryche. This is the band that I grew up with. This is fucking incredible. This is genius. Chris Degarmo and Geoff Tate together making memories for me. I'll never grow tired
I Saw Queensryche Open For Ozzy In 1986. They Are Excellent In Concert. Queensryche- "Rage For Order." Ozzy- "Ultimate Sin". It Was A Great Concert. Hara Arena. Dayton, Ohio.
This song is fire. He was a beast, a force of nature on stage. Such a beautiful voice. I will NEVER forget this voice. So much memories.... my favorite band for all time
Omg, it does not get any better, does it? Never heard such a sublime voice, so powerful and majestic it is the definition of perfection for me, hands down! Geoff is truly the vocal God! 🤘🤘🤘
Youth of today, as well as the new version of QR & even Geoff with his current touring band, this mother fucking perfect lightening in a botlle will not ever, ever, ever ,ever ever occur quite like this again!!!! Sad in some ways but at least I got to experience all of this live back in the day!! I was about 16 or 17 when the QR EP first came out & this band blew me away, followed up by thr MASTERPIECE CALLED THE WARNING! Thanks for the memories, thanks for all the recordings done years back & thanks for You Tube (You Tube is the candy store that guys my age did not have during our youth!!!). Also remember, Geoff just got done performing most of Operation Mindcrime before this killer performance of Roads to Madness. How did he still have his voice left? But he did & it was at its best. Such a hard song to sing even with lots of rest
Who even sings like this 😁😁 GT your voice is insane 😁😁🤘🤘 I can’t believe anyone would dislike this video 😳 I agree…. you are an utter beast with your vocals.
Without any doubts, geoff was the master of a pinacle that most singer's chasing his range,just could not catch I know I tried. Truly gifted and hard vocal work ethic.
I was so fortunate to see this awesome line up in WV during the Empire Tour. They did many songs from several albums, including this one. The greatest thing about the concert was that they did Operation Mindcrime in its entirety. The best concert of my life!
@rick39guitarist Fates is great... but if QR is Heroin... Fates is like that stuff they give you at clinics. And this is coming from a Fates Warning fan... nothing like QR. peace
In their prime, Queensryche was the best of the hard rock bands and Geoff Tate was the absolute pinnacle of rock vocalists. They blew me away the first time I ever saw them live in a small club in Queens, NY called L'AMours East. That was the early 1980's....Best show I've ever seen!
I misread your comment. I am 54 and got it when it came out, as well. Bought the EP in '83 I think. There are few bands I appreciate more than the 'ryche. You can count them on one hand.
I am about to be 51. I agree. I bought it that well and first saw them on Rage For Order tour open for AC/DC at Alpine Valley. Amazing. Their wardrobe was housed in Seattle at the EMP Museum. Loved that band, up until Geoff blew a gasket.
for me QR forever will be my no.3 band . I like them with Tod , he is better singer than Geoff now and chris now he is not anymore guitar player : / ...
No offense to the other 3 original members...but Queensrÿche is/was DeGarmo and Tate. I miss the original line-up SOOO much! There will never be a more perfect group of musicians...than 1982 - 1997 Queensrÿche! 🤘❤️🔥🤘
I saw this tour in Greensboro, NC in 1991. Great show. I'm 61 years old now and I can't tell you how fast 33 years has flown by. Wish we could all do it over again. Great shows and bands back then and 15 dollar concert tickets lol.
STILL one of the best songs ever! I can’t remember the guy’s name who sat behind me in class in the 10th grade but I will always be grateful to him for handing me his Rage For Order cassette tape and telling me to listen to it. I’ve been a QR fan since.
This version sounds fucking amazing!!! The maestro in full cry!!! These guys were so ahead of anyone else in terms of their compositions and musicality......it’s almost unearthly!!! Special gratitude to the person involved in XindruStudios for the superb audio which I believe is from the op: livecrime dvd though this performance is from the building empires tour I think...circa 1991. Thank you!!!
It was the Empire tour. I was lucky enough to go to Operation Live Crime, Building Empires, Promised Land and 2 other live shows with the original line up. Best shows that I’ve ever been to ❤️🤘🏻❤️
Epic song, Once in lifetime talent. In early era of Hair bands/ light metal; these guys were Notches above. Had to see live to drive it thru, better than studio. As stated, Magical progressive Metal group. Voice & tightness
Most of this is memory now I've gone too far to turn back now I'm not quite what I thought I was but Then again I'm maybe more The blood-words promised, I've spoken Releasing the names from the circle Maybe I can leave here now and, o Transcend the boundaries For now I'm standing here I'm awaiting this grand transition The future is but past forgotten On the road to madness Times measure rusts as it crawls I see its face in the looking glass - stop This screaming laughter hides, the pain of its reality Black, the door was locked I opened And now I've paid that price ten-fold over Knowledge - was it worth such torment, oh To see the far side of shadow And still I'm standing here I'm awaiting this grand transition I'm a fool in search of wisdom And I'm on the road to madness Yes, I'm on the road to madness I'm awaiting endlessly Pounding rhythms echo me Won't you take me somewhere far beyond the void And still I'm standing here I'm awaiting this grand transition Maybe one day, oh I'll meet you, and we'll Walk the roads to madness Yes, we're on the road to madness Oh, I think they've come to take me I hear the voice, but there's no-one to see I can't scream, too late it's time Stay on the course to pass You'll never find the answer To a place where darkened angels Seemed lost and never found Scream to see the light of Forming figures fast behind you Lay the past in the wind to spin And your fate will sail beyond the open plains Sail with angels onward Live or die for the chosen one said Saber sights cast a spell behind you And they lock in all around Free the scene insider Never looking back to find why Ride a course till the end of time And you'll stand atop the gate Laying waste in a path recited Fighting force won't avenge the guided black wing Oh, electric might poses fright inside me Seeing light at the end of sight reminds me I've passed away
C'MON WHO SOUND LIKE THIS TODAY? OR EVER FOR THAT MATTER!!! THESE GUYS WER ON A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT LEVEL MUSICALLY, LYRICALLY AND STAGE PRESENTATION. THE ONLY BAND THAT COMES CLOSE IS DREAM THEATER. THANK GOD I WAS ALIVE TO EXPERIENCE THIS BAND AS THEY CONTINUED TO BREAK NEW GROUND. TRULY UNFORGETTABLE!!!!!!
One of the top 5 concerts in my lifetime. It was the Empire Tour, but they performed the entire Mindcrime album in it's entirety. Geoff is amazing to this day, but back in the day he was a fcking God! Still a God. I also saw them on the Rage for Order tour. One of the best live bands EVER!
Yes .. The good years .. Seen them in 1984 at a small bar in Baltimore " Hammerjacks " .. pay five bucks at the door , grab a beer and stool overlooking the band . .. Front row of sorts .. and during Take Hold's lead break , Geoff climbed up and took my hand and watched his boys lead the song .. .. I will never forget the look in Chris's and Micheal's eyes as they were ripping through the lead " Don't push him off " .. they looked really concerned !!
Geoff...what happened to you? He was an amazing talent. And Chris and Michael were INCREDIBLE! It was great growing up with this band in Seattle. Legends live on.
Only a few at this level ever...Plant, Ozzy, Ian Gillian, Halford, RJDio, Geddy, and Dickinson...with Tate right there in the middle without question! Live Masters beyond anything else I ever saw personally! Not dismissing so many amazing Vocalists as the list could go on and on....But these were the Badasses of all time for me!
Such a well oiled machine in QR phase...just watched Live Crime and needed to hear this one....great camera work 👍 you got Scott when he needed to be seen, Chris & Eddie..Michael & Goeff as well...thanks! 🍻
Hard to pick a favorite song by these bad asses but this ranks up there! Geoff was killing it as always! Band sounds killer too! Their sound man must be the best on the planet!
It's actually easy for me, the first tune they ever wrote together - Lady Wore Black. To be so young and write an epic about such a group is chilling and beyond amazing. I always search for covers but they are so rare, I think I've seen one. Tells you a lot about how talented Geoff was at that time, no one dare tries because they'll probably fail and embarrass themselves.
This will never happen again! There will never be a band like the original Queensryche again! 😍😍😍
You are so right friend
I agree 100%.. And the sad thing is, that even tho all of the original members are still alive. There will never be a reunion tour and that's a shame.
You can say that again!.
Never ever ever again. Got to see this tour in 1991.
There have only been a handful of perfect bands. This is one of them.
I saw Queensryche 4 times in their prime. My wife and I met the original band at a show in Cincinnati. Just us and them. My wife's connections helped. I remember the guitarists being the friendliest of the band. Geoff seemed to not want to be there.
Which guitarist?
True ..... Queensryche, Stryper, Maiden
@@left-wingprophet4775 Geoff is too much into himself and very reserved...but as long as he signed and took a photo...all that matters. I love them for the band..,Chris so sweet and Eddie and Scott just quiet but love the fans
Amen
This kinda band only comes around once in a lifetime....truly magical
True 👍 ✔️ 👍
I couldn't agree more! There are some that came close, but Queensryche is tops in my book! 💋💋💋💋💋💋
Glad I was able to be part of this time❤
This is how I want to remember Queensryche, great band and one of the greatest singers that this music ever had
Yes, me too! Saw them open for Ozzy in '86. Incredible
There is no Queensryche without Geoff Tate, Chris Degarmo, Scott Rockenfield, Michael Wilton and Eddie Jackson. They were are and always will be Queensryche. Anything else falls short.

Great song.. from 83 to 91 Geoff was untouchable
I'm so grateful I saw this band live three times. 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
I miss when they were together. Chris DeGarmo is a master on guitar and Tate's voice is second to none.
And, DeGarmo was a really good harmony to Tate on vocals.
@@yippeethreeeight Perfect match !!!
Queensryche in their prime was something to behold. Roads To Madness is likely their greatest single piece of work.
Simply the best.. That entire album...
It's definitely one of them.. I would say top 5!
Yup. Epic, and beautiful.
Don't forget the lady wore black.
What can anyone say...absolute perfection....talk about firing on all cylinders....this is it!!!! One of the best bands in history.
Geoff Tate will always be the best vocalist i ever heard in my life. A living legend.
I agree 💯 check him out with Advantasia and Sweet Oblivion
No argument here
This is an ALL-TIME GREAT live rock performance, one for the ages.
The most Deep and Powerful lyrics I ever heard.. Always been my favorite Queensryche Song for many reasons.
Struggling through health issues and getting older has Definitely put me on the Roads to Madness.
So glad I was a teenager back in these days and now see the true meaning of this song.

Freddie Mercury could not touch him.. Even live. Freddie could not hit his same notes live like Geoff could.
The amount of control on all parts is amazing. Tight band and of course Geoff's vocals on here are second to none
This song is fire. He was a beast, a force of nature on stage. Such a beautiful voice. I will NEVER forget this voice. So much memories.... my favorite band for all time
Amen 🤘
Ditto
Mine too🤟
And me
Perfect voice and stage presence. Also my favorite of all time ❤️
No auto tune here, VHS recording, just pure art! WOW!
Auto Tune. Curse the one who invented that garbage. It was embraced by every talentless worm worldwide. Look what it did to the industry. Thanks.
4:54 holly … what a phenomenal voice, i like how geoff tate transitions through multiple pitches in few seconds.
The REAL QUEENSRYCHE... TIMELESS
One of Top 5, Metal / progressive bands ever. My top 1. Nobody touches this
Omg, it does not get any better, does it? Never heard such a sublime voice, so powerful and majestic it is the definition of perfection for me, hands down! Geoff is truly the vocal God! 🤘🤘🤘
Totally agree. Majestic
5 or 6 octave voice.
I agree
💯 love him
His voice is a gift from God.
Jezz,...wow, this is one of his best live recordings of him doing this. Spectacular!
brilliant singer and number at that moment he was the best of the best !!WOW!!
The best male singer of all time! He has such a magical, surreal voice and there was/is/will be no one like him on stage, never. Incomparable!! ❤❤❤❤
Totally agree. His voice stirs the soul
Strongly agree! You speak the truth of it!
Totally agree!

These shows were flawless, Tate and DeGarmo were the perfect duo, blessed to have seen it
This never gets old. Fuking awesome
Geoff Tate is a BadAss on stage, they should have a reunion for this Album
That was amazing! Went to 6 QR concerts but never saw Roads to Madness live. Absolutely incredible🤘
Who sounds like this? The Heavy, The Sound, The Voice, creativity and originality.
The answer to your question is NO One but MR Geoff Tate,
@rick39guitarist Fates is great... but if QR is Heroin... Fates is like that stuff they give you at clinics. And this is coming from a Fates Warning fan... nothing like QR. peace
In their prime, Queensryche was the best of the hard rock bands and Geoff Tate was the absolute pinnacle of rock vocalists. They blew me away the first time I ever saw them live in a small club in Queens, NY called L'AMours East. That was the early 1980's....Best show I've ever seen!
I used to go to L’amours & L’amours East too. Saw many great bands there.
Queensryche is in a class by themselves.
It's 2021 and this is still some of the best out there.
Says a lot doesn't it.
With this line-up they had the best songs.. The best live sound. The drama.. The theatre The best metal band ever. Period
Sometimes members from otherr bands form a "super group", Queensryche in its prime WAS the super grroup!

Their best record, IMO.
me to brother....
I became a fan 40 years ago when Warning came out....I love This Video.
Can't get any better than this.. Tate will ALWAYS be the man.. Period....🥰 This is Queensryche at their finest...
Lauren is stunningly beautiful. Great production!
Such a great singer. Excellent performer. Huge artist
No Chris, No Geoff... NO QUEENSRYCHE.
for me QR forever will be my no.3 band . I like them with Tod , he is better singer than Geoff now and chris now he is not anymore guitar player : / ...
No shit!
1991, their absolute peak. Pure quality and greatness.
To keep in context, they had just played every fucking song on Mindcrime......and then busted straight into this. Top of their game right here.
No offense to the other 3 original members...but Queensrÿche is/was DeGarmo and Tate. I miss the original line-up SOOO much!
There will never be a more perfect group of musicians...than 1982 - 1997 Queensrÿche!
🤘❤️🔥🤘
aquí estamos solo los que apreciamos la belleza sonora
Freaking masterpiece. So underrated.
True masterpiece!
I agree, probably the best band I have ever seen/ heard in all my 61 years. Love them and listen all the time. 😊
The best Queensryche song I think. The transition from the first part to the second really reminds me of Iron Mauden
Much better than iron maiden
@@qwert4560 agreed. Just talking about transitions that Maiden was known for in their songs.
Back in the days when Tate was absolutely IN-HUMAN!!!
I saw this tour in Greensboro, NC in 1991. Great show. I'm 61 years old now and I can't tell you how fast 33 years has flown by. Wish we could all do it over again. Great shows and bands back then and 15 dollar concert tickets lol.
What a voice.....awesome, truly gifted, and with the wings of passion. Wow!
STILL one of the best songs ever! I can’t remember the guy’s name who sat behind me in class in the 10th grade but I will always be grateful to him for handing me his Rage For Order cassette tape and telling me to listen to it. I’ve been a QR fan since.

I believe that the tour was operation mindcrime
It was the Empire tour. I was lucky enough to go to Operation Live Crime, Building Empires, Promised Land and 2 other live shows with the original line up. Best shows that I’ve ever been to ❤️🤘🏻❤️
The maestro david Kyle was who is responsible for his voice was amazing for forming this incredible singer. Best ever.
Brings back the best memorys as a teenager. This band gave me so much to live for but now I'm on the Roads to MADNESS.
Me too ... specially in traffic :)
Holy shit they sound incredible. Why they never released this on DVD 🤔🤔 They can digitally remaster the audio most queensryche fans would buy it.
OMG.
NEVER seen a Band like this Kick some serious Heavy Metal arse. Great voice .Have subscribed and a loyal fan. Rock on. You're Legends.
The best live video what I find in january.
Epic song, Once in lifetime talent. In early era of Hair bands/ light metal; these guys were Notches above. Had to see live to drive it thru, better than studio. As stated, Magical progressive Metal group. Voice & tightness
Just checked in to say hearing them play this twice live in 17 QR shows was immense.
Late 80's/early 90's NOBODY could touch this band.
They are all great. Rocken field is truly the secret weapon. Awesome band with this line up.
Awesome. Everyone is on point. Greatest Band ever. Thanks a lot for uploading.
Geoff and Chris need to watch this and say WTF. GET WITH IT GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yup.
Face it dude, they're done.
He is definitely one of a kind..love this group
Get it on DVD ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE A SERROUND SOUND
The best and only the best Geoff is the man
The. Greatest. Moment. For such a great band. My first concert was on this tour. Just unreal.
How I wish they could have toured South Africa.. phenominal band.. One of my all-time favorites ..
Geoff is the master......been a fan since 1984...it's 2018 people we won't here this Geoff anymore but respect the Voice
Awesome 👍😎! Geoff seems like he's in another world right here! Love you Queensryche! Rock on & peace out, y'all!🌹💜🌍
Most of this is memory now
I've gone too far to turn back now
I'm not quite what I thought I was but
Then again I'm maybe more
The blood-words promised, I've spoken
Releasing the names from the circle
Maybe I can leave here now and, o
Transcend the boundaries
For now I'm standing here
I'm awaiting this grand transition
The future is but past forgotten
On the road to madness
Times measure rusts as it crawls
I see its face in the looking glass - stop
This screaming laughter hides, the pain of its reality
Black, the door was locked I opened
And now I've paid that price ten-fold over
Knowledge - was it worth such torment, oh
To see the far side of shadow
And still I'm standing here
I'm awaiting this grand transition
I'm a fool in search of wisdom
And I'm on the road to madness
Yes, I'm on the road to madness
I'm awaiting endlessly
Pounding rhythms echo me
Won't you take me somewhere far beyond the void
And still I'm standing here
I'm awaiting this grand transition
Maybe one day, oh I'll meet you, and we'll
Walk the roads to madness
Yes, we're on the road to madness
Oh, I think they've come to take me
I hear the voice, but there's no-one to see
I can't scream, too late it's time
Stay on the course to pass
You'll never find the answer
To a place where darkened angels
Seemed lost and never found
Scream to see the light of
Forming figures fast behind you
Lay the past in the wind to spin
And your fate will sail beyond the open plains
Sail with angels onward
Live or die for the chosen one said
Saber sights cast a spell behind you
And they lock in all around
Free the scene insider
Never looking back to find why
Ride a course till the end of time
And you'll stand atop the gate
Laying waste in a path recited
Fighting force won't avenge the guided black wing
Oh, electric might poses fright inside me
Seeing light at the end of sight reminds me
I've passed away
C'MON WHO SOUND LIKE THIS TODAY? OR EVER FOR THAT MATTER!!! THESE GUYS WER ON A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT LEVEL MUSICALLY, LYRICALLY AND STAGE PRESENTATION. THE ONLY BAND THAT COMES CLOSE IS DREAM THEATER. THANK GOD I WAS ALIVE TO EXPERIENCE THIS BAND AS THEY CONTINUED TO BREAK NEW GROUND. TRULY UNFORGETTABLE!!!!!!
It`s kind of Musical - Theater, truly Art.
Wow wow wow yesss!!!!❤🙏
This was the shit!!!!!! It will always be part of my history
One of the top 5 concerts in my lifetime. It was the Empire Tour, but they performed the entire Mindcrime album in it's entirety. Geoff is amazing to this day, but back in the day he was a fcking God! Still a God. I also saw them on the Rage for Order tour. One of the best live bands EVER!

Sweet Oblivion
@Cire Rednulk Geoff was the band you silly , he could do whatever the fuck he wanted since DeGarmo left
Tate was a god walking at this point. He had taken metal singing to an entirely new level.
Ladd Everitt when warning came out we were like wtf. It revolutionized my head banging.
Only a few at this level ever...Plant, Ozzy, Ian Gillian, Halford, RJDio, Geddy, and Dickinson...with
Tate right there in the middle without question! Live Masters beyond anything else I ever saw personally!
Not dismissing so many amazing Vocalists as the list could go on and on....But these were the Badasses of all time for me!
Way beyond anything beyond put out today, no questions!

Such a well oiled machine in QR phase...just watched Live Crime and needed to hear this one....great camera work 👍 you got Scott when he needed to be seen, Chris & Eddie..Michael & Goeff as well...thanks! 🍻
That voice is a gift sent from God.
Just Amazing!!! Period!!!!!
Damn, they don't make lyrics like this anymore.
Hard to pick a favorite song by these bad asses but this ranks up there! Geoff was killing it as always! Band sounds killer too! Their sound man must be the best on the planet!
It's actually easy for me, the first tune they ever wrote together - Lady Wore Black. To be so young and write an epic about such a group is chilling and beyond amazing. I always search for covers but they are so rare, I think I've seen one. Tells you a lot about how talented Geoff was at that time, no one dare tries because they'll probably fail and embarrass themselves.
His delivery is amazing, what a performance!
My all time fave song from the Warning!! TY!!!
So pretty it makes me cry
Best Queensryche song ever,EPIC!!!!
Geoff Tate:KILLERRR VOICE!!!!!!!
