When you can go instantly from a low baritone to a sustained E5 note multiple times, you can then refer to yourself as a vocalist. This guy could DO IT BABY.
Geoff Tate was classically trained, but every member of this band is highly skilled. Their songs are kind of deep, but if you take the time to really listen, you'll come to love them as much as the rest of us do... And I believe that this was the last song of the evening after playing for at least 2 hours, so....... Excellent reaction, BTW...!!
@@IdahoRanchGirl Well, I understand he kinda became "self-centered", so perhaps it was warranted...?? I dunno... But Geoff did look WAY better with hair.
@@IdahoRanchGirl Geoff pulled a knife on Michael. So I mean he had it coming. Ed bass is an uncle to me & I will always stand by what he & the rest of the boys say. It says a lot that nobody backed geoff up when it happened & they all voted him out. Not really much of a loss because Todd is just as good of a vocalist & he has great ideas to further push the quality & the idea of what queensryche is & will be
@@SkyBow16 the entire band was fabulous together until egos grew stronger than the bands bond. I read recently that Scott Rockenfield now has a suit against Eddie and Michael. I only read one side but that just makes me feel sad for Eddie and Michael. Enough is enough. These guys have been through it when they just want to play music.
Geoff Tate was at the top in the industry at that time in my opinion. The man is opera trained and it's obvious. The other band members are also masters of their craft. Such an underrated band. Thanks my man for reacting to this one🎵
QUEENSRYCHE fucked a lot of people up when they first came out. It was wow! Even with a jaded Rock audience who had seen a lot of really great bands already. Everyone was talking about them! It was I’m seeing them live as soon as possible. They NEVER disappointed live! One of the cleanest sounding bands ever live. Very high level performance every time!
Their first 4 albums are incredible, nothing like the pop rock they turned into in the 90's. Super tight band. Incredible vocals. They literally sound the same live as on the album, few bands can pull that off.
I was one of only a couple hundred people who attended their first show, talk about being lucky. Seen and met them several times, awesome band awesome people.
I saw Queenryche that summer of 84 in a small club in Baltimore . Five dollars at the door and I found a barstool overlooking the stage . I felt like the whole band was playing just for me . . Geoff climbed up during the lead of Take Hold . Took my hand and stayed with me the entire lead .. This song has been my life's anthem
Queensryche is my favorite band ever. Every member is a master musician and Geoff has the most amazing voice. Seen them 11 times and Geoff 2 times. Love ur reaction brah. I swear you were pleasantly happy with some herb. And you woke right up, lol. Every Ryche song kicks azz brah
These guys are SOOOO underrated; their musicianship, talent are way above the "popular" rock bands around. I'd place them along with Ten, Dream Theater and You Slosh!
Queensryche is no joke. Extremely deep. Incredible band. YOU ARE SO CUTE! You looked like a kid in a candy store. It is like he is singing truth amplifying his own energy so effectively it blows people away. I've watched a lot of reactions . Some were stunned. Speechless. An opera singer got so excited she looked like a kid at Christmas. I truly get it❤❤
I first heard Queensryche in 83 when they put out their EP. Back then they weren't too well known outside the Pacific Northwest but it wouldn't take long for that to change.
Another band that came out of the Seattle music scene that was dripping with talent in the 80's and 90's. They had a debut EP, self titled - with 5 absolutely legendary tracks - The Lady Wore Black, Queen of the Ryche, and for those that got the later bonus track, Prophecy, is an absolute scorcher. This is a criminally underrated band - as much as Tate gets most of the well-deserved praise - individually, as musicians, they are as good as any hard rock band you will find - legit talent everywhere - and surprisingly cerebral. The again none of this is news to those if us that grew up in that time. These guys were legends around Seattle before grunge took over and blew the lid off the music scene..
My personal favorite QR song is called "Roads To Madness", but I've never heard a live version of that song that compares to the album version. You'll wanna read along with these particular lyrics. This is 10 minutes of Epic, Haunting, Unsettling & slightly demented. Its GREAT!!
I agree with Connie, This band is AMAZING. I saw them live at the Palladium in Hollywood (with another awesome band called "Leatherwolf"), in the 80s. My other faves are their self titled EP and "The Warning" (the album this song came from). 🤗🙌🥃
That was the second two the last song of 13 song night. This also was one of first time playing this live. This performance was 45 days before the US release of Queensrÿche the Warning album. Flawless
Steven Tyler tells Mr. G….. Goin' under, rats in the cellar Goin' under, skin's turnin' yellow Nose is runny, losin' my connection Losin' money, getting no affection. NEXT LEVEL G!
The best concert one can ever attend is a rock concert. The people, the positive vibs and everyone is there for a good time and nothing more. QueensRyche was amazing when it was with Geoff Tate.
grandmother trained him.. she was an opera singer...this is the next to the last song of the SECOND set of the day.. no studio gimmicks and no fucking auto tune crap.. sound as good live as recorded..chris the guitarist featured in most the video has a similar vocal range also... geoff is a beast.. this is probably the best live performance of all time especially when you take into account this is the second go around..he is a baritone with a 5 octave range.... and no one does it easier than him. he dances up there like it is nothing and many vocal coaches and singer male and female wish they could have done this that easily...he is a sonic god here.. he made angels cry as they could not do this... Metal 4 Ever \m/.....\m/
And dude, one thing that you absolutely HAVE to take into consideration is that Geoff Tate performed THIS well even AFTER the fact that this song was the SECOND TO LAST song of a set/performance that had ALREADY gone on for OVER an hour. I HONESTLY don't care WHAT musical genre it is, for a singer to perform THAT well even AFTER over an hour is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. Thank you for your HONEST opinion in your reaction to this song. You definitely gained a new subscriber.
In their day man, Queensryche was killer! Seen them live 3 times in the 90s and they were amazing live! Geoff Tate never failed to impress the audiences! Amazing voice and self control over all the octaves. Unfortunately after so many decades together, they're no longer together as the former band, which sucks.
Can't go wrong with Queensryche! Best band most people have never heard of. Loved them from the EP to Promised Land! Check out more live stuff from their "Livecrime" videos which is concert footage from their 1991 tour.
Step back, listen and appreciate Geoff Tate's awesome vocal range. One of the best hard rock bands out there. Check out We'll Burn the Sky from The Tokyo Tapes album by the Scorpions. Thanks bro!!
💕Hey, my man. I think it great that you have embraced some of what may be called older groups. The Beatles etc. You are also introducing an old man into new stuff. Keep it going. Just goes to show. there is always something new, for music lovers even if it old or new to the hearer.👌💖
@@FloridaRocks Respect donna but did you miss the words "TO THE HEARER " During the 80s I was driving trucks all over Europe and the music scene was not on my list of top priorities as we did not then have the radio coverage we have today especially in a truck. The Beatles,Rolling Stones, Sweet, Slade, I could go on were my hayday artists. In the 80s,I just picked up what I could when I could and this lot just passed me by. However,I will now check them out.👌
@@paulfaruga Sorry darlin! I forget that not everyone's situation is the same. Queensrÿche was pretty heavily saturated on U.S. airwaves and MTV (back when they actually played music) when their hit "Silent Lucidity" came out. I also highly recommend "Operation Mindcrime" from them. Peace ✌
Queensryche fan since 1983 and in my humble opinion, Geoff Tate is the GMVOAT. Ronnie James Dio, Rob Halford, Brad Delp and John Patrick McDonald (aka Midnight) would be on my short list. Queensryche's "The Warning" LP is the greatest Progressive Rock album ever. The album is a journey and it will always be my favorite ryche album. A close, close 2nd is "Rage for Order"..
I love watching people react to this song. Jeff Tate is incredible. Probably the most versatile voice ever. And this song probably shows it more than any other Queensryke song. The other notable part of this performance is the drummer. Dude is just killin it through the entire song.
Rock can't hold up to the older bands like this. Pure genius and talent
I feel this is the greatest live performance by a band EVER!🤘🖤
I've often thought that too.
This & Alice & Chains: Love Hate Love, live @ The Moore, yes!
You have not seen a Pink Floyd concert yet?
@@garrimic3 no so I cannot compare🙂
Funny part is, this is the last set, they played for and hour and a half and this was the encore... Geoff Tate is a Metal LEGEND!!!!!
AND, from my research, this was the SECOND time on stage to add to the facts you presented.
dude... second set of the day ....
When you can go instantly from a low baritone to a sustained E5 note multiple times, you can then refer to yourself as a vocalist. This guy could DO IT BABY.
And THAT, ladies and gentlemen, is how we rolled in the 80’s 🤘🤘
It was the last song of the set. And it's one of the rare times when the live version is better than the studio version.
Geoff Tate was classically trained, but every member of this band is highly skilled. Their songs are kind of deep, but if you take the time to really listen, you'll come to love them as much as the rest of us do...

Can't believe they actually fired him from Queensryche. Their loss.
@@IdahoRanchGirl Well, I understand he kinda became "self-centered", so perhaps it was warranted...?? I dunno... But Geoff did look WAY better with hair.

@@SkyBow16 I totally disagree. They haven’t sounded the same since.

Geoff Tate was the king of vocals in the 80s.
Not Steve Perry then?
@@rickdaniels1789 Perry is great...but Tate was king IMO
@@HocusPocusFocus69 then try ROB HALFORD judas priest
@@mickowen3318 that's your opinion.
Not mine.
"G" is right. "G" for Geoff Tate, legendary Queensryche singer
YES! Now check out their song "Queen of the Reich" from the same concert (Live in Tokyo)
I was one of only a couple hundred people who attended their first show, talk about being lucky. Seen and met them several times, awesome band awesome people.
I saw them in '85. They opened for Ozzy. I was close to the stage. I couldn't believe the singer .. no one had really heard of them.

My favorite songs by Queensryche are Eyes of a Stranger, Another Rainy Night Without You and Silent Lucidity. Geoff Tates voice just gets me.
Queensryche is my favorite band ever. Every member is a master musician and Geoff has the most amazing voice. Seen them 11 times and Geoff 2 times. Love ur reaction brah. I swear you were pleasantly happy with some herb. And you woke right up, lol. Every Ryche song kicks azz brah

One of my greatest pleasures is watching someone hear Queensryche (Tate/Degarmo) for the first time.

This performance was the next to last song of a 1-hour stage set
That’s how we rolled in the 80’s. This song still applies in 2023. Take Hold the Flame People
Queensryche is one of my favorite bands. Silent Lucidity is my favorite song by them. Great reaction as always Bruv.
Silent Lucidity is musically orgasmic!
Why the f.ck arent more people aware of these guys?
Oh hell yes, not even seen the reaction and I'm excited lol! He's about to get surprised!
Finally! Somebody reacting to Queensryche! One of the best bands EVER!
You GOTTA go down the Queensryche rabbit hole!!! They have SO MANY amazing songs!
My personal favorite QR song is called "Roads To Madness", but I've never heard a live version of that song that compares to the album version. You'll wanna read along with these particular lyrics. This is 10 minutes of Epic, Haunting, Unsettling & slightly demented. Its GREAT!!
Man I love that song 💚💚💚
You are the first to mention the drummer. You're awesome!
ohhh my dude ,,you gonna love this !!!
thats what i call leaving it all on the stage. hes really belts it out.
Thank you very much for showing some love to us here in Washington State!
Repping from Washington!
You should do an album reaction to their Operation Mindcrime album. It is a concept album where the album tells a story. The whole album is a banger 🤘
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation%3A_Mindcrime
Mindcrime At The Moore, Operation Mindcrime I & II performed together ❤ the video is out there 🤘
@@rhinno1969 I saw them do l & ll with Tate and Pamela Moore in '05 at Orlando's Hard Rock. Fantastic show!
I go to see them perform the entire Album live. Amazing
I agree with Connie,
This band is AMAZING.
I saw them live at the Palladium in Hollywood (with another awesome band called "Leatherwolf"), in the 80s.
My other faves are their self titled EP and "The Warning" (the album this song came from). 🤗🙌🥃
Please do Eyes of a Stranger next then Queen of the Reiche both by Queensryche.
Queen of the Reich is my all time favorite by them
In his prime he was amazing. Big queensryche fan back in the day. So them live during the empire tour. Awesome live
Queensryche was great!
That was the second two the last song of 13 song night. This also was one of first time playing this live. This performance was 45 days before the US release of Queensrÿche the Warning album. Flawless
Absolutely legendary! Best vocalist next to Sebastian Bach of Skid Row.

My favorite Queensryche song is Queen of the Ryche if you want to hear his high notes, that is the song to listen to, it's awesome as hell.

Amazing voice and self control over all the octaves. Unfortunately after so many decades together, they're no longer together as the former band, which sucks.
One of my favorite bands of all time.
I love it that you like it and I hope you react to more Queensryche soon!
He's like that old 80's Life cereal commerical kid, Mikey. I like it, I like it. LOL
This dude is high as hell.
One of the Greatest Rock Anthems, Ever.
My favorite band. Geoff has such a range
"We are children of the niiiiiiiiiiiighhhhhhhht". It never fails : )
Everybody: Which octave?
Geoff Tate: All the octaves.
Can't go wrong with Queensryche! Best band most people have never heard of. Loved them from the EP to Promised Land!
Check out more live stuff from their "Livecrime" videos which is concert footage from their 1991 tour.
Just a reminder don’t try to pull a fast one: Back In The Saddle, Last Child, Rats In The Cellar. Thank you have a nice day!
Watching people discover Geoff Tate and Queensryche is almost as fun as watching them discover Steve Perry and Journey.
I farking LOVE you Bruv! Your reactions are legit! You got a massive Soul, Brother-Love! 💯
Listen to the concept album: ‘Operation: Mindcrime!’
Epic album. The eyes of a stranger is the best song of that album.
What a unique voice.
Close your eyes while listening to this.
Step back, listen and appreciate Geoff Tate's awesome vocal range. One of the best hard rock bands out there. Check out We'll Burn the Sky from The Tokyo Tapes album by the Scorpions. Thanks bro!!
This was song 11 of a 14 song set, and they still did this!
he makes the impossible look sooo easy
Hah! I knew you would be impressed and amazed! Nice reaction to an obviously awesome band!
Best live clip of all-time
Welcome to queensryche.. they got a ton of music to check out..
This WAS their last song that night
This was an encore song after about 2 hrs of rocking!
Loooove your energy brother!!! Much love from Texas!!!🤘🤘🤘💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Your reaction is CLASSIC! Love it!
You NEED to watch their videos REVOLUTION CALLING, BEST I CAN and EMPIRE!!
Awesome review bro! I’ve loved this song since 1986!
Steven Tyler tells Mr. G ….. I was the Last Child I’m just a punk in the street!
This was an encore performance so he is doing all of this at the end of the concert.
This was the second to last song of the night.
I like your reaction--it should be AWE
Awesome reaction! I recommend "gonna get close to you" by them it's a cover they did that sounds better than the original to me lol. Glad you enjoyed!
Geoff Tate can sang his arse off!!
Whats awesome is that this song was the encore at this show
Back then, Geoff's voice was a King. BUT THEN Midnight from Crimson Glory came and both prove to be the most talented vocalists in 80's
Great band!
You are a awesome dude! Great song and great reaction!
The guy can sing.
