@@Setain7 No, but I saw Queensryche live in the mid 2000's and he couldn't hit the notes from the early albums. He was still good, but this is beyond incredible
I won't talk about Tate's performance, we all know... I will talk about that magnificent guitar riffs. I love them, as the solos. What an incredible metal song.
Jeff Tate's performance at this show was nothing short of divine. Pitch, tone, and expressiveness were all perfect, and it didn't change until the last song, "Take hold of the flame". It is a miracle in the history of metal!!
I don’t care what anyone says. This’ my Queensryche that I grew up listening to. 1983-1991 is without a doubt the best lineup ever. The current version, can’t touch this.
My god queensryche was just beyond the 🤘🤘🤘🤘i saw this tour they opened up for kiss and blew them away no problem i was like 17 years old Geoff tate the best metal singer 🎤🎤🤘🤘🤘 hands down 💯 and they were awesome in 86&88🤘🤘🤘🤘 ryche was just beyond killer especially on rage for order tour 🎸🎸🎸
I agree. Most metal singers of this era were able to hit the really high notes (that was standard), but Geoff Tate had this amazing range and a rich tone. He could go really low and then really high.
How did I just find this song today! Impossible. I have had every QR cd from 1988 and as they have been released from then after. I had no idea my EP (4 songs) was redone with 5 songs later. Awesome!
If you were in that scene back in the day. Even those of us who went to all the shows we could afford. All the shows we could sneak into. If you saw them at that time, you knew you saw something special. just epic with great performers outstanding front men, could go on and on. Was an incredible time to be a rock fan.
Absolutely incredible band - I remember listening to them for the first time in the 1980's, when I purchased 'Rage For Order' - everything came together so well and so memorably. Even now, when I listen to the music, it gives me goosebumps - go, Queensryche, go!
ABSOFRIGGINLUTELY AMAZING PERFORMANCE!! This entire concert was face melting! There were no hard rock/metal bands as amazingly talented , so incredibly unique and well put together as this. Totally 1 of a kind
One and only Queensryche...!When I first heard them in 1985, it blew me and my friends off, especially in a place like Bangladesh. To this day, when I listen to the old Queensryche, it gives me goosebumps....
Michael sweet, Midnight, Tony Harnell and Halford were also amazing live singers. Sweet probably out of all of them can sing just as good today as he could in 1985.
Back then (even though he had stage-fright) Geoff must have known he had what it takes to "WOW" the crowd....! He can wow us still; the MANY TIMES in his life he has been out there w/out a stop...I believe with all my heart that He has EARNED OUR ETERNAL "WOW"! Thank you Geoff Tate for lavishing us all these yrs.! ~ Peace & Rock-On!
Stage Fright? Not sure where you got that from? I've known them all for many years. Saw Geoff sing with many different bands and never did he suffer from stage fright. His stage presence was not the greatest until the Ryche but mostly because the venues played had stages with barely enough room to stand on... Once he was able to move around, he opened it up some. But, as far as stage fright was concerned... Not the Geoff Tate I remember!
Halford was my favorite vocalist and infleunce as a singer until I heard this. Saw Priest many times in the early 80's, but nothing compared to this vocal performance, not even close
Rob is my favorite singer in metal, but the 80s were actually really rough for him. Studio wise, he pulled off some amazing vocals, but in the early to mid 80s, he was doing alot of drugs which made him have like a super cracked voice. Luckily, he git sober in 1985 and performed amazing for the rest of the decade. That being said, tate was consistently phenomenal in the 80s and wayyyyyy better than even Dickenson
Wow, those were the days! Geoff could hit all those high notes, Chris and Michael had perms and Geoff and Scott still had hair. Great song, and back in these days they were one of the best live bands in the business.
Geoff Tate inspired me to sing and words can’t describe how much I Appreciate the band and saw you all 10 times and still have my ticket stubs from Tingley in Albuquerque and El Paso Texas and met you all after the show and took pics and a great chapter in my life.
So incredible bad ass it's one of my favorite songs of all time. I live for Geoff's high note at the end, but alas, never to be heard live that way again. Wah....
I saw Queensryche headline a show in the early 90's (saw them twice as openers with only a 30 minute set previously). That show and the first time I saw Rush were the best 2 shows I have ever been to. From a vocal standpoint, nobody could touch Tate!
I believe this was 1984. During the 80's most labels would see how bands did there, also toured Germany. They love American rock. I had listened to a demo tape at a huge club in San Antonio Texas. I was assistant manager. We brought them into play. Amazing. Got to go to Tokyo, the concert kicked ass.
...they played the whole Live In Tokyo set here in san antonio in '85 at sunken gardens. some guy named Yngwie opened opened up for them doing his entire Rising Force album....
Great guitar solos by Chris and Michael on this song. They were so young in this video (I think they were 21-22), yet their performance was remarkably polished and mature. They looked like they were ready to conquer the world.
Fuckin classic rock! Legendary in its state and truly Blew my mind when I first heard it. The range Tate gets on this album Fuckin Hits me right in the chops! Always gonna love this album!
@@torehy5912 no I do not. My dad met him years ago and commented on how he was somewhat arrogant, but it was just recently he threw someone's cell phone out into the crowd and that's what convinced me.
When I first heard them their first album I was hooked Geoff Tate Chris DeGarmo and the rest of the band we're amazing I was sad when Chris DeGarmo left and Geoff Tate and I always listen to them operation mindcrime what a masterpiece that was. Warning . Queensryke and Empirek
People will argue that Halford is/was better, as well as Dio and Dickenson. All of them are great, don't get me wrong. As a vocalist, I have covered all the greats with various bands. Tate is by far the hardest to replicate and sustain throughout a setlist. Dickenson is 2nd. Tate was a friggen god in his prime!
I remember a friend got me into them. When I was in tenth grade and I saw this video as well as other videos they put out in the 1980's I was blown away. In the 1990's I had to endure Pearl Jam, Green Day, and Blind Melon. Luckily there were thrash/death metal groups in the 1990's or I'd have no good memories of 1990's music
Para mi amigo Rober García Olea por tantos años vividos desde siempre y por que sabe que en esta ciudad sigue teniendo su casa y a sus colegas !!! Cheers and Life On !!!
I remember in 1985, not sure of the exact date, my brother-in-law took me to see Queensryche when they open for Kiss for their Animalized album tour. This was at the Forum in Englewood where the LA Lakers used to play. He was brown-nosing because he just started dating my sister at the time. Even now my kids are jealous that I got to spend my teenage years with all these great bands just starting off at the time around Hollywood.
For range, power and pitch, Geoff in his day was the best metal singer who has ever lived..
Halford.
Yessss...!!!!
@@Setain7 No, but I saw Queensryche live in the mid 2000's and he couldn't hit the notes from the early albums. He was still good, but this is beyond incredible
@Patricia C. gotta have Dickinson in that list somewhere. All are/were great!
Check out Take Hold
Queensryche at this time was untouchable and Geoff Tate was incredible 👍👍👍 Power and clarity and a monumental talent.
I won't talk about Tate's performance, we all know...
I will talk about that magnificent guitar riffs. I love them, as the solos. What an incredible metal song.

It is a miracle in the history of metal!!
I agree... but the last song was Queen of the Reich
@@Th3Kn0w1ngSt4r I messed up. You got it right.
Tate’s voice was unreal. Amazing! So glad I got to see them live back in the day!!
I don’t care what anyone says. This’ my Queensryche that I grew up listening to. 1983-1991 is without a doubt the best lineup ever. The current version, can’t touch this.
How do I miss this Queensryche....
The Solo at 2:09. Perfect metal harmony and perfection. Queensryche at their fullest extent was truly something to behold.
My god queensryche was just beyond the 🤘🤘🤘🤘i saw this tour they opened up for kiss and blew them away no problem i was like 17 years old Geoff tate the best metal singer 🎤🎤🤘🤘🤘 hands down 💯 and they were awesome in 86&88🤘🤘🤘🤘 ryche was just beyond killer especially on rage for order tour 🎸🎸🎸
This is pure heavy metal! That line-up! The Real Queensryche.
Prophecy is one of my favorites
Such great power and energy such a great brilliant band hands down one of the best bands in the 80s
best metal vocalist. no one before or after has this guys range. scary good. once in a lifetime talent
I agree. Most metal singers of this era were able to hit the really high notes (that was standard), but Geoff Tate had this amazing range and a rich tone. He could go really low and then really high.
With the permission of the Metal God
Your right and the whole band was great; and the drummer is just beating the hell out of those skins
@@avocate2017
Most metal singers of this era could never touch Tates high notes
Rob Halford was the only one that had Tate's range.
THE GREATEST SINGER IN FULL VOICE!! NOBODY CAN COPY HIM BECAUSE OF HIS UNIQUE VOCAL SOUND DUE TO HIS UNIQUE PHRASING!!
How did I just find this song today! Impossible. I have had every QR cd from 1988 and as they have been released from then after. I had no idea my EP (4 songs) was redone with 5 songs later. Awesome!
DeGarmo was so huge with the vocal harmonies!
If you were in that scene back in the day. Even those of us who went to all the shows we could afford. All the shows we could sneak into. If you saw them at that time, you knew you saw something special. just epic with great performers outstanding front men, could go on and on. Was an incredible time to be a rock fan.
Holy Christ, what a band...
Man i still get goose bumps watching/hearing this show
Mind blowing vocals.!OMG!!
Geoff is my all time favorite. My wife got his autograph in the Disney store in Reno, NV in the early 90s.
What a tremendous heavy metal band - stills sounds great in 2018 - will probably sound great 10 years from now - WOW!!!!
What a voice! Geoff is the greatest metal voice out there. Those who have seen him will never forget his voice. Love ya Geoff - Rock On! 🤘💀🤘
Pls. take me back to the 80's.
Absolutely incredible band - I remember listening to them for the first time in the 1980's, when I purchased 'Rage For Order' - everything came together so well and so memorably. Even now, when I listen to the music, it gives me goosebumps - go, Queensryche, go!
Probably the best in their genre of prog metal.
This is the best version of this song
ABSOFRIGGINLUTELY AMAZING PERFORMANCE!! This entire concert was face melting! There were no hard rock/metal bands as amazingly talented , so incredibly unique and well put together as this. Totally 1 of a kind
Wilton and DeGarmo are amazing!
One and only Queensryche...!When I first heard them in 1985, it blew me and my friends off, especially in a place like Bangladesh. To this day, when I listen to the old Queensryche, it gives me goosebumps....
So very good. I envy anyone that saw them live during this era
We were there and happy to be so.
Michael sweet, Midnight, Tony Harnell and Halford were also amazing live singers. Sweet probably out of all of them can sing just as good today as he could in 1985.
Bring me to 84 ..when I was 15th
WOUAH🥰Great, great, Tokyo Stage💕Geoff👍💋And musicians🎶🙏Love 🔥
Holy crap! I'd forgotten how fuckin good he was in his prime. UN-FUCKING-TOUCHABLE
Period.
The problem is looking back on it now I can unfortunately see how range like that is for a limited time only. 😒
Best solo ever
Back then (even though he had stage-fright) Geoff must have known he had what it takes to "WOW" the crowd....! He can wow us still; the MANY TIMES in his life he has been out there w/out a stop...I believe with all my heart that He has EARNED OUR ETERNAL "WOW"!

🙄 The rest of the band offered more than great hair.
Tates voice is meant for this type of rock love the range any body here his sick lows just awesome as his highs
that was so fuckin bad ass for a live show. saw them in 86 was insane
Geoff Tate inspired me to sing and words can’t describe how much I Appreciate the band and saw you all 10 times and still have my ticket stubs from Tingley in Albuquerque and El Paso Texas and met you all after the show and took pics and a great chapter in my life.
2019 Great music never dies .💞
I am surprised more people have not viewed this! Simply amazing.
Tate in his prime is the best that has ever been
Overall the best metal singer ever i would add
Late 70's Halford and Dio's live shit around '76 was up there as well.
Damn straight. There was no other.
So incredible bad ass it's one of my favorite songs of all time. I live for Geoff's high note at the end, but alas, never to be heard live that way again. Wah....
Forget Rap! This is the true music!
One of my favorite queensryche songs of all time.

Both insane live
Both just brilliant

The best metal Singer

Goosebumps seeing these guys perform . Glad I was fortunate to see them many times.
Still have no idea how this track didn't make it onto The Warning.. Such an incredible song!
It was actually on the ep . Because I have it
Because it was made for the re-release of the EP
my vocal favorite
Agreed....plus Russell Allen of Symphony X
Fuckin classic rock! Legendary in its state and truly Blew my mind when I first heard it. The range Tate gets on this album Fuckin Hits me right in the chops! Always gonna love this album!
The best singer of all time in this genre
him and dio are you cant forgot dio he had a perfect metal voice in a very different way than tate respectively
My favorite singer ever. Too bad he's an ass!
El mejor es Bruce Dickinson
@@dylansirois8768
You know him personally?
@@torehy5912 no I do not. My dad met him years ago and commented on how he was somewhat arrogant, but it was just recently he threw someone's cell phone out into the crowd and that's what convinced me.
So similar to Fates Warning "Awaken the Guardian"..Thats why those 2 bands are my favs of all time..And the 2 vocalists also..!!!
that drum break .. absolutely divine
+McSwigg, you mean the one at 2:54? I got goosebumps the first time I heard that! And I'm a drummer myself, man I love Scott Rockenfield as a drummer.
+UglyDrummer yeah that
Best live band ever. I'm from Seattle, saw them in Tokyo for the "Promised Land" tour, amazing.
I envy you!
Yes, Tate in his prime, no one could touch him‼️ I remember I heard them for the first time, it was so sensational, almost shocking. 🙀🤘
You got that right!
Did they release this concert on LAZER DISC????? Back in the mid 80s.
May god bless whoever decided this performance needed to be recorded..
EMI decided to record this show Live in Tokyo on vhs in 1984 before the release of the Warning album
OMG. This is the first time I’m seeing this…love the song.. the fashion isn’t bad either😁
Is it just me or does every metal band sound better live in Japan?
Man, I miss DeGarmo...
The band was never the same after he left.
When Chris Degarmo left, a huge part of Queensryche's sound had left with him along with his songwriting contribution.
Without a doubt, one of the best live albums in the history of rock and roll !!!
What a band from another fuck´n planet is Queensrÿche !!!
Wish they would re release this remastered on DVDs.
Its on the Building Empires dvd
I had love them since 1984 ....in this is most my favourite song ..with Dont take hold of the flame
When I first heard them their first album I was hooked Geoff Tate Chris DeGarmo and the rest of the band we're amazing I was sad when Chris DeGarmo left and Geoff Tate and I always listen to them operation mindcrime what a masterpiece that was. Warning . Queensryke and Empirek

Blows Dickerson away!!
@@guyhall2401 ++++++++++
In the 80's Dickenson wasn't even close
Para mi amigo Rober García Olea por tantos años vividos desde siempre y por que sabe que en esta ciudad sigue teniendo su casa y a sus colegas !!! Cheers and Life On !!!
What an awesome song one my favorites tate had incredible range
One of my favorite songs from the Ryche.
Beautiful solos from both Wilton and de Garmo.
And the voice, the voice.
Geoff used to be amazing
such an unstoppable band back then. Talent coming out the ass!
this Band kick ass
swietny koncert oraz super piosenka oraz wspanialy zespol queensryche
The whole bands energy compared to when then were done is like apples to mud
Geoff Tate incrível ❤
Superb, I saw them on this tour and they are the only support band I have seen that got an encore.
this when geoff tate sounded the best sure can rock it in his prime!!!!!!!
his voice was amazing then!!! 24 and the world awaits thnx for posting
How was that possible? was this re mixed in the studio for this video,amazing!
Just WOW. damn it man WOW. that is amazing.
Only one word for this VHS: PERFECTION.
there is nothing else to say. that was, and remains, their best song ever.
Great old Queensryche stuff! VERY HOT!
Geoff inarrivabile in assoluto
Sad Scott never plays like this anymore!!! Now he's sort of even left the band too,
Yeez! I would step on lego every day for the rest of my life to be able to transform myself back to this consert.
NEVER SEEN THIS VIDEO GREAT JOB QUEENRYCHE FROM TONY LEE FRISBY FUENTEZ PRESLY
Great vocal
best song from queensryche
This is an amazing performance AND it reminds me of Spinal Tap (in a good way)
I remember in 1985, not sure of the exact date, my brother-in-law took me to see Queensryche when they open for Kiss for their Animalized album tour. This was at the Forum in Englewood where the LA Lakers used to play. He was brown-nosing because he just started dating my sister at the time. Even now my kids are jealous that I got to spend my teenage years with all these great bands just starting off at the time around Hollywood.
The 80'S when Ryche was the Shit!!!
Right on about that! \m/
¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡METAL!!!!!!!!!!
You will shit bricks when you know that Geoff Tate is a baritone.
