I had no clue who Queensryche was when I saw them open for Kiss in Bakersfield CA. They opened with 'Nightrider' and finished with 'Take Hold'. It was truly the most mind-blowing set in my 62 years of living! 🎵
The Queensryche show(s) in Japan on this tour are incredible and the concert video of Quensryche and Geoff Tate on this tour in Japan 1985 is a glorious jewel! It was so rare for any good concert footage in the the glory days of metal in the '80's and this is a testament to how glorious Queensryche and Geoff Tate was in is his prime! All hail the Queen of the Ryche!! 😎🤘
I were on Geoff Tate concert last week and he managed to sing this song with no vocal feedback or other crap. He singed it with his real voice at age of 64 and it were almost like he were 23 again. Geoff's true live voice came back last 1-2 years.
The guy to my left at the Atlanta show was pulling up the set list on his phone and mused “It will be interesting to see if he can sing those high notes”. Yes, yes he did
@@nomolosbor Yes. Geoff said this week it's okay for others to use vocal effects... Geoff used that on 2019 concert i were on, but not in 2023. La Torre in Queensryche use vocal effects all the time live.
He sings this tuned a whole step down now, same with most of the songs. Don't get me wrong, he's improved a lot recently, but it's not the same as back in the day
Most underrated band on planet Earth and beyond. They had everything: playing skills, songs and, last but not the least, one of the most incredible singers. After we saw them playing in Italy a friend of mine commented "they are just too good".
tenho 36 anos de idade e curto rock a 30 e nunca tinha ouvindo essa banda.... estou viciado rsrsrs É como eu penso: o rock é como o universo, sempre tem algo muito bom esperando ser descoberto !!!
GOAAAWT DAMN!! WHAT AN ICONIC WAR CRY! I say to you as stand and raise my arm with magical spirit fingers into a fist.💪 🔥♥I just love you Geoff Tate. You are of the very very finest metal vocalists of all time! Legendary .
La musica dei queensryche mi accompagna da quando avevo 15 anni,il primo pezzo che ascoltai fu in TV, era il video di Queen of the Reich, mi fece impazzire x bellezza e potenza, da allora li ho sempre seguiti,hanno realizzato opere che per come la vedo io,sono la lirica del futuro. Vi amerò per tutta l'eternità!!!
Was für eine unfassbare Energie diese Band hatte! Geoff Tate war und ist immer noch unbeschreiblich!!! Unerreichte und unvergessliche Stimme- die ganzen Live Konzerte sind voller Power und so mitreißend, habe sie vor 35 Jahren das erste Mal gehört und bin immer noch absolut begeistert von dieser Band, aber auch nur in dieser Besetzung!
I remember when my buddy got the bootleg of Queensryche the album....we were into all metal like Dio, Ratt, Quiet Riot, Judas priest....etc .... Queensryche was a band that really set a bench mark.
Mr Scott Rockenfield, one of my biggest influences as a kid. When i started drumming in 87' i was 9, and it was Scott Rockenfield, Tommy Lee, and Dave Lombardo that influenced me to learn and get good at drums, im a professional, and ive gotten to tour the US, and parts of Europe.
It’s a shame all these guys are alive & healthy and still can’t put their differences aside and give us ONE MORE ALBUM & Just one more show🙏Us OG’s would fly anywhere to see that one!! Btw welcome back ✌🏼
Too bad over half of the band turned on one another. God bless Chris and Scott for being adults. I love Ed and Mike but they did Scott dirty. Geoff is far beyond shitty for the stuff he’s done but still a good singer.
I honestly would be happy only to see Chris coming back for one more with Tate and Wilton. It's been over 20 years and I still hope to wake up and see the headline that Chris Degarmo would come back to Queensryche.
@@daviddaniel3996 He tried making Queensryche his band. He allegedly has spit on fans, beat up fellow band members in the dressing rooms. Yelled at aforementioned band members. Complained that Queensryche was a metal band. Amongst other things.
@@Farewelltokingz There's context. Many sides to stories. And alot of falsehoods created by media and the internet. There was blame to go around. How did Scott's lawsuit against Mike and Eddie turn out? Geoff never spit on fans, he spit in the direction of Scott rocks drum kit, over personal differences none of us will never fully get, because we weren't there. Enjoy thr music.
I met these guys at a KMET Rock n Bowl in Canoga Park in the mid 80s. I still have the album with a white blank label stamp Queensryche along with an autographed poster.
When I was about 11, and before I got deep into alternative and grunge, I was obsessed with Queensryche. It kinda fit with the 80’s hard rock bands at the time but it also sounded like Maiden and Priest, and some songs sounded like metal Pink Floyd. They also sang about stuff that wasn’t customary at the time like fascism, domestic abuse, family issues…it was definitely a band ahead of their time. One of the greatest and most underrated bands in the planet.
#48👍🏻 🎶🥁🎸🎤👀👂🏽🎶 Queensryche music is embedded in my DNA. Been a fan since my first exposure back in 1984 in Orange County, CA. That would have been my Junior year summer vacation in HS. Hear [sic] I am enjoying it all over again like my raging testosterone teen self of yesteryear. TFS
Thanks for the re-upload! Was fortunate to be front row for Mindcrime 1 and 2. Watched them open for Def Lepard in the round years ago. Still have the vhs of this tour in Tokyo.
Yes amazing. I don’t think this was edited. I saw them open for Metallica in 89 and they opened with this song and the entire crowd was blown away. Chris DeGarmo had a big part in the backing vocals as well.
This is such raw energy like this is the equivalent of witnessing a cosmic event.man did we not know what we had,i remember me and my friends made fun of this once upon a time and now i see it as absolute power.
Soooo damn good back then, live. I had the pleasure of seeing them on the EP tour open for Twisted Sister. Didn't know anything by QotR. Lady Wore Black BLEW ME THE FUCK AWAY!
Due to my "healthy obsession (or is that passion?)" for '80s rock/metal, THIS is "PROOF or CONFIRMATION" that IT'S NOT, or STILL NOT, safe to "move forward" with so-called "modern rock/metal."
Rock n roll in all her forms is one of the things someone can agree by raising your fists and headbanging "yes" without needing to even speak the language.
Grandma took my pops and uncle to see queensryche and gold earrings? Around this time. And myself along with my uncle some 15yrs years later when I was 17-18. It was insane. Bonkers. Queensryche kicked it off with iron maiden following up and fucking Motorhead topping it off.. it was Bonkers . Verizon amphitheatre '02-03.
Mad song reminds me of grand theft auto vice city which had the song in the video game driving the car in gta vice city with queenriech playing its a strong mad song i wonder if your heard of bathory or ministry jesus built my hotrod alot of great bands defenity in the 1980's
Incredible vocals lead and backing and the band themselves amazing. Once DeGarmo sadly left they were never quite the same, though Michael Wilton deserves more credit even in todays version of the band!
Re-uploading this, as it was apparently taken down a couple of months ago.
Welcome back!
I was really surprised when I saw that this was uploaded! Thanks for coming back
Thanks for republishing this - love Geoff Tate’s voice and stage presence!
Thank God you're back
Thank you so much.... So amazing

Because it's like that...and thats the way it is.
@@CC_MarauderHUH!
Yeah way better than
kiss those are so overrated
damn bro you’re older than skid row
Agreed I saw them with Kiss, but actually knew the songs, because I usually bought the albums of the back up bands.

my god !! his voice was unreal , still gives me goose bumps when i watch this after all these years!!
I randomly rented this videotape from my local video store in 2001. I never took it back and have been a huge fan ever since
I did the same thing! Still has the Music Plus rental case 🤪
Chris & Michael were pure magic together. Man I miss Chris. One of my all time favorite guitarists.
This is the song that made me learn to play guitar..
When your live performance puts the studio version to shame.
Studio : 🥹😕😳😩
In live : 🤯🥳🫡🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Tate and Whitney Houston vocally could only do better than the record!
If this is not edited afterwards, probably the best live performance in history of music...
That is still made in Japan,but this is close....
This is an incredible live performance.
This performance is so stunning that sounds like I'm hearing to studio version. Identical.
The whole concert is fantastic....they deserved much more....
tenho 36 anos de idade e curto rock a 30 e nunca tinha ouvindo essa banda.... estou viciado rsrsrs

@@geraldskinner63 the entire band was amazing together!!
@@geraldskinner63 How can not include Eddie in that statement.? He's still delivering amazing backing vocals.
@@daviddaniel3996 Agreed
Ahhh this is just peak I love this band ❤
How is it possible with that amazing quality from mid 80:s ???
The Japs knew a thing or two about cameLas.
Laser Disc
Rising force live in Tokyo 85 is a little bit better quality.
IT'S ALIVE!
One of rocks greatest moments.........just ridiculous .....nothing even comes close nowdays !

So damn goooooood!!!!
One of the best voices of rock
I was blessed to see these guys a few times at L'Amour East! Geoff Tate is a great singer!
I wish they would release this on Bluray…
Greatest voice of THREE generations!
What a band ! They are like 21 here, Pure talent 👍🏻

QR OPENED for Metallica in 89? I was in Seattle for Metallica in 89 and they opened for Ozzy. QR was headlining in 89.
Best live concert I ever see was maiden halford and queensryche
Perfect vocal
das ist metal.ich bedanke mich.
Crazy good
First time I saw them was in Montreal , Qc , Canada . They we’re opening for Twisted Sisters in 1982
I can’t get over this version
❤
Awesome performance! Kick ass!
Geoff Tate is the real voice of Queenstyche
Wow.
This is such raw energy like this is the equivalent of witnessing a cosmic event.man did we not know what we had,i remember me and my friends made fun of this once upon a time and now i see it as absolute power.
Yeah! It's back baby!!!
Geoff Tate, Halford, Dickinson, Freddie Mercury. That's my list in no particular order.
Todo el poder del heavy carajo

A few months prior they played 2 times at a local bar in corapolis pa.
Thank you for this brother.
Geoff Tate la voz.
EPIC
No auto tune, no gimmicks, nothing but preparation, hard work, PURE TALENT, and MAGIC!
Thanks for reup and welcome back!
If they ever take down a video, claim and copy-paste a copyright disclaimer. That worked to me back in the day.
Oh hell yeah 🤘❤🤘! New sub ,my buddy just sent this link. Wow 🤘🤘
I think we found our avatar in the same place maybe 🤘
RYCHE ON!
Amazing 👏
I have the bootleg CD from this
Con todo el poder

geoff tate is a god
Geoff was giving me so many Freddy Mercury vibes! Never noticed it before. Both great performers!
Freddy is nowhere near Geoffs abilities and never has been. But yeah both great performers I'll give you that
@@niklask7635Right ❤
Too bad Geoff didn’t take care of his voice.
Geoff Tate god!!!!!
Welcome back
Rob Halford is the Metal God, but damn.
There not metal
@anthonylobrutto
*They're* And Queensryche were definitely metal during the 80's - after that they got more experimental.
Thank you for Sharing much appreciated.
Bad, bad ass
Heyyy! Thanks!
... glücklich, wer in den 80ern jung war. if you were young in the 80ies, you're lucky.

Great performance but very very great....
My local boys kicking ass
Fantastici grandissimi...
Tate had the best voice for these kind of songs! De la Torre is ok, but Tate in his prime had no one to match his vocal range!
Without Degarmo it is functional but Without Tate? Not even QR, in fact Tate on his own sounds more like QR than the QR of today does
I rode in the back of a Ford truck 112 miles to see them open for ac/dc
Scott Rockenfield is so good
now CD release Live in Tokyo 1984 with a 2024 date. Its sadly most recent 😢. The others are from some Russian(??) label. Those must be impossible GETS
