Yes and no. Rage was the when I first heard the, but Operation Mindcrime will always be their best to me. God Geoff's voice is still incredible after all these decades.
Masterful singer and performer. Geoff Tate should be a household name, but his genre was hard rock so he is unknown only to us fans. He should have been in the music hall of fame 30 years ago. Just so happy to see him performing these incredible songs.
At 62 years old...he is still incredible!! I have tickets for his November 6th show in Houston and I have meet and greet passes...finally get to meet the man I've adored for almost 35 years...seen them live at every show played anywhere remotely close to where I live...yes some was pre-recorded but damn...he still sounds amazing to me!!
We met them here in odessa in 1995 on the Empire tour! Damn he was so nice...the entire band was just GREAT!!! Enjoy the hell out of your first meeting buddy. Would love to be there...enjoy!
I have tickets to go see him and September so excited about him playing these two albums in their entirety. And just $100 to meet a legend that’s a great price for a meet and greet. 🤘🏻🤘🏻
@@victorgallagher6312 that price isn't bad at all! Meet and Greets are sold separately from the regular concert tickets, right? I already have my concert tickets. Lol
I love this man, for all time! I miss the others from Queensryche, but you gotta give props where props are due. They got where they are with loads of talent, no doubt!
he needs to get in the studio with a world class prog metal producer pronto and give us one last masterpiece if not more. He sounds amazing for his age, it's unreal. Seems to be a nicer dude nowadays than he was like 11 or 12 years ago too
Great show! He sold the place out again (on a Sunday night no less) and it kicked ass!!!! Band was spot on. I'm not usually a fan of E-drums but it worked as the soundman knew what he was doing. Geoff's voice is still intact and still incredible. Kurt Deimer opened with Phil X. Great evening of smokin' rockinroll!!!!
Rage is in my top 5 records of all time. This is the best live performance of the full record I've seen in a very long time. Who cares about some prerecorded tracks to round out the sound for the fans and the overall experience? It's the 'entertainment business'. This was masterfully done and I'm glad Geoff and company is still out here wrecking your head, triggering memories, taking us back, launching us forward. Bravo!
Roy I completely agree! They put on a fantastic show and if you like Rage / Empire you owe it to yourself to go! I’m extremely impressed with the band and I especially enjoyed Kieran Robertson on guitar. You can tell they are all having as much fun performing as we were watching the show
Thanks for the upload!!! I don't care what people say about Geoff Tate. To me he will always be QUEENSRYCHE!!! This guy is in his 60s and think he sounds pretty good imo 🖤
This is excellent. Geoff is in great form here. I had tickets for this several months ago in Ft. Lauderdale, but it was cancelled because of the Pandemic. Rage for Order has always been one of my favorite albums.
I just saw them a few hours ago, Sept 25th. They had a different drummer and left side guitar player than in this video. Although I just saw them with a different drummer, he also was playing he same electronic drum kit.
@@DixieDawg71 Really good - the band was about like this video, maybe 1.25 points better. Geoff had an incredible night, better than this night. Geoff was stonger than this when I saw him, like practice and repition had been building up his voice. 6-7 months of singing this album for training.
For 62 he sounds great. I mean it’s human nature to gain weight sometimes when you get older but only shallow ass people would judge his appearance. Still killing it after all these years. The only thing I think he could do is hire some better musicians to back him up. But it takes time to form a band sometimes. I’m sure it not all that easy. But what do I know. I’ve only been playing music for 30 years, i still have a lot to learn. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
@@petealvarez1476 Thank you very much. It’s good to know that you can comprehend the context of what I wrote down. For a second there I thought you were trying to take what I said about him to be bad, some people like to twist around other peoples words because they can’t comprehend what they read. So for you to bring up a comment like you did just goes to show that you do understand what you’re reading. Which therefore inturn shows me that you have a comprehensive level of kindergartner. ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻
Thanks Brian. Yes the whole concert is posted split over 4 parts. This should be part 2. You can search on RUclips or look under my other videos. I will eventually try to put links to them in this video. ruclips.net/video/YmDJ6gKq2Ik/видео.html
I think it’s great that he is still doing what he loves to do. A few Debbie downer ex fanboys on here being extremely critical of GT’s voice and band lol. Take it easy it’s not that serious.😂
Since I saw him do this on a more recent video, it was obviously different because he had a different drummer, - We're gonna chalk this up to a bad night for Mr. Tate.
@@DixieDawg71 Would be the video I am commenting on - this one. If you don't think he's having a bad night, then you don't know the song "Walk In The Shadows" too well. Try this one - much better. ruclips.net/video/F9kYr0IinWU/видео.html
@@biez71 Acoustic vs ekit will be a debate for the centuries. I've played and owned both and they both have their place, as do the hybrid kits I've seen around. By the time the sound guy has mic'd reverbed and gated an acoustic kit the crowd won't hear much difference between a good ekit and most acoustic kits. Playing them is a different thing altogether :)
All the background vocals are definitely on tracks, the end of "Empire" was as well. Too many bands playing to tracks these days, but I give Geoff credit for putting some effort into his voice again. I'll take the imperfections over playing it safe anyday. Edit- Ohhhhh.....I hear what you're talkin' about. Yep. That's not fillin' out the sound, that IS the sound.
Whoa, the 16:00 one is real and I'm in shock how badass he can still sound singing high notes like it's nothing, I wish he would do that more often. the 32:25 is definitely suspect since I've seen it in other live footage as well. Makes me wonder though, since he can obviously at least mostly hit that note still, why the hell do they fake it with some pre recorded bullshit!
@@madpriest7822 Both of those screams were falsetto (a la King Diamond), which is a lot easier to do than the head/chest voice high notes that Geoff used to be able to hit in his prime.
@@DrewJD I don't think so - he ascended from a mid-range note to a falsetto scream, which sounded live to me. And as I said in my above comment, falsetto screams are a lot easier to do than head/chest voice screams. That's why King Diamond can still do them at his age, and Rob Halford as well. When Geoff and Rob were in their prime, they did full-voiced high screams, not falsetto.
I'm trying to like it but it's impossible... I lived through Geoff's peak, I heard him sing in plenitude, at the top of his capability, a man, he was so out of this world, that it hurts me to hear him having so many problems. I also don't like at all the look and feel of his band, this emo-looking guys, with not so tight sound, the guy in the Flying V is mimicking the off deep voice at the chorus in The Whisper, you can clearly see he arrives late at 12:24... he is still singing the previous line of the chorus and comes in late with the "don't be afraid" line, the drummer sounds as a half assed Scott Rockenfield... I mean, I hate to be picky, but don't like it... Queesryche was one of the greatest bands in my life growing up, hearing Geoff sing live Take Hold Of The Flame in Tokyo is to this day, one of the best performances by a heavy metal singer in history, the band sounded amazing up until and including Promised Land, and to watch and hear this... it sounds like a so and so Queensryche cover band... I'm trying but it's impossible... sorry.
No way that Geoff could hold that range after so many tours and shows. Bruce can do it because Maiden does not play the amount of shows QR/Geoff Tate do and even he isn't as good as he once was. Age catches us all and if we expect Geoff to hit Queen Of the Ryche like he did back then, maybe we are the problem.
@@paulcarlin5181 I'm not 100% sure the problem with Geoff's singing has to do with many tours and many shows... I've seen and heard enough interviews of himself and his former bandmates, to suspect it has a lot more to do with abuses and excesses of all kind, not taking care of your instrument, and of course, aging, which is inevitable, than anything else. To be honest with you I don't expect him to be eternally in his prime, I have absolutely no problem with people growing older and adapting how they perform to their physical possibilities, nut I think Geoff is not doing that either, he is not trying to adapt the way he sings to his ability today, he is still trying to do it as he did 35 years ago, and trying to mask those notes and places where it's impossible to get. That is why it sounds poor to me. I can think of a couple of examples, Eric Clapton when he did the Unplugged for MTV, that's adapting, not only his singing but the entire song to the new format. Michael Jackson with his dancing... you can actually watch him through the years adapting his moves to his physical capability instead of trying to move like when he was 24... it's impossible, the body is not the same. If you see the dance moves on You Rock My World and compare them to how he moved in Beat It, it's an abyss, and I'm totally on board with that. Sorry for the very long comment. Cheers.
Back when, no doubt, GT was god. The best voice out there. Better than Dickonson, Halford, Dio, name 'em. But whereas those managed to keep their voices, Geoff has lost a lot. It doesn't really matter, we have the records and I would go watch him for old times' sake. Still, to me this sounds more like a QR cover band than anything else. Have a beer and enjoy the nostalgia. They do their best and it's good, but to be brutally honest, I prefer QR with TLT miles over this.
TLT? dude, you are the type that settles for tribute bands over the originals? TLT is a master of karaoke (look at his body of work. it involves replacing established lead singers and doing a good job of imitating whichever singer he is replacing.) Also, TLT relies heavily on backtracks during live performances, which Geoff does not do even in his 60's. So no, I would NEVER prefer a gutted out band with only two secondary members as the leaders of QR. The proof is in the pudding. TLT QR sounds like one of those countless cheesy 80's Queensryche/Iron Maiden imitations, complete with dated riffs, choruses, progressions and worst of all, corny lyrics and overall songwriting themes. A Tate/De Garmo/Rockenfield-less QR is NOT Queensryche. I will take these excellent session players over that pathetic train wreck known as today's Queensryche.
@@dodsub8899 Heh. Alright, I get it, you are a GT fan through and through. Still, you said it: TLT does a good job imitating GT. The 80s GT, notably. The new records are meh, sure. But I want to hear the music from the glory days and to me TLT QR absolutely do a better job at it than GT and friends. It is, sadly, mostly about the voice. GT still has a great voice, but no longer that voice. You can hear him stretching and dodging notes. And let's face it, the music he made since going solo is rather meh, too. Ach, in the old days, everything was better. We're getting old.
I'm supposed to see this show in a few months and I have to ask.... Where did Geoff find these musicians?? Not good... Drummer doesn't even play acoustic drums!?!? Sounds horrible in my opinion🤮
Normally they use a standard drum set but this stage was quite small and in the corner of the room. I believe the electronic drums were used to save room on the stage.
I went to the show in Atlanta and he told the crowd that his usual drummer had to fly out to be with his wife because she got covid. For a last minute guy, he's not doing too bad.
Please don't get me wrong Jeff should be with the original band The other singer with queensrache is great on his own begin beyond his own and be a part of history that's great but Queen's Reich should be with The original singer, I'm a Death metal fanAnd even I know that queensryche Should not be without their singer That voice was almost weird it was almost like Iron maiden I like the new singer is awesome is great but it's like Tim ripper Owens What Judas Priest Come on
This, is terrible. What’s up with that look? The cheesy jacket, the hat? It’s ODD. The band: Fake drum kit, tired bandmates, and that creepy son-in-law...Geoff, what happened?

Rage for Order is probably my favorite album of all time. From any Band.
Mine too bruh!
Agreed!
Yes and no. Rage was the when I first heard the, but Operation Mindcrime will always be their best to me. God Geoff's voice is still incredible after all these decades.

He’s Genius, a Rock GOD! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Saw him in Amarillo about 2 years ago, looking to see him in Dallas in November! They always put on a great show!!
Best he’s sounded in years. Trots out that very high note I’m Gonna Get Close To You, never thought I’d hear that again.
He absolutely kills it on "The Whisper." LOVE that song and Geoff delivers! Rage for Order never gets old. Thanks for sharing.

Saw him in NJ tonight. Sooo looking forward to hearing all of Rage, Geoff KILLED it. Vocal GOAT.
Geoff is killing it. He’s the best all time male singer!
Great to see him back in action! I hate how he struggled with “infrared” at the start.
Halford is killing it now at 70 ,maybe even slightly better.But im from Kirkland so they have a special place.

I was at this show!
Just saw this show at the Blue Note last night!🤘🤘🤘
Legendary songs...legendary voice! Geoff nailed it \m/
Wow Geoff is sounding great must have had time to rest and get his voice in good condition 👍
Yeah, he sounds much better than a couple of years back. Awesome to see! Well, hear
But still i am searching for his voice flying high like an eagle
Tate Kills it on the opening.
This is awesome, thank you for posting.

I meant to say Geoff Tate sounds awesome
Hell yes...
this is cool where was this in 1984 85 86 87 we got ripped off back then compared to today
First I thought, “ Dang , Tate sounds OFF.” Then I realized it was the people in the crowd near the person recording thank goodness.

Chemical Youth…one of the best ever…
Queensryche blew my mind when I first heard them as a kid. Geoff is still killing it but this band? Electric drums with a kid asleep behind them?
The drummer looks like he sells insurance during the week…
I see the drummer's on a n electronic drum set, a Roland. Cool to see ekits getting used for live gigs. I wonder which model it is
I have thought just the opposite of what you wrote. Acustic kit just uncomparable

This, is terrible. What’s up with that look? The cheesy jacket, the hat? It’s ODD. The band: Fake drum kit, tired bandmates, and that creepy son-in-law...Geoff, what happened?
Bull shit
He can hit the notes when he wants to. I heard struggles tho for sure. Too much wine and cigarettes geoff. And he's out of shape nowadays
He still kicks ass!
Sad.
This band sucks big time. Why is Geoff constantly changing his lineup.
he is looking for the real deal
He has.........put on a little weight. I know he's in his 60's but dang.
Todd LaTorre is so much better
And you’re so much better at being a douche
He is good but he is only better with his own songs. Queensryche belong to Geoff! Nuf Said!
he should of quit while he was ahead this isnt good
