John still sounds amazing...... the classic line up should team up with the recent one and make a world tour...... just like Helloween did...... that would be one kick ass tour
Un-be-lie-va-ble performance! I am stunned how John Arch and Steve Zimmerman while not being active for quite a long time still deliver so freakingly good!
Just when you think he can't go any higher....he fucking NAILS IT!! 3:55 to 4:05 possibly the best 10 seconds of music I have heard in 10 years or so....and I saw them at the hartford agora on this tour back in the 80's. This is just as good or better....so much respect to John for doing the work to get his voice back to this condition. It must have been tough.
Steve, what a power house, executes those snare rolls and double kicks with ease! He always seems to be the forgotten member of the past Fates members to the fans. It's great seeing Bones up there too, 7 albums with the band, great bass player.
Bones! Ha - that is too funny. I was lucky enough to smoke one with him in his bedroom when a friend of mine brought me to his house to visit. They had just got done touring with Armored Saint who was my favorite band at the time (and is still up there!). He had a early copy of Delirious Nomad and we got to hear Guardian before it came out. I was blown away.
sounds awesome..meeting rock stars is always a rush at least for me..meeting Dio and Rob Halford I was all nervous and forgot to ask the questions about songs etc that i always wanted to ask them...Fates warning are one off the first progressive style metal bands that i was into ..
My first exposure to Fates Warning was the Silent Cries video on MTV. Loved the vocals, guitars, bass but what really caught my attention was the unique drumming. Steve definitely had his own personality behind the kit.
Got my DVD set and vinyl pre-ordered. I would have NEVER foreseen Arch sounding this good EVER. Those vocals are hard AF to sing at any age. Notice nobody dares covering these songs.
Man back in the mid ‘80’s. In my mind this band could do no wrong. But when they got rid of John Arch, I could not believe it, I never could understand it. I looked for years for him in a new band. Never happened, but here he is, sounding great, better late than never.
ARCH... 30 some years latter n still sounds 100% like the original recording! Arch n Ronnie James dio are in my top 5 all time metal vocalist. This album was my introduction to fates warning n I'm still a hard core fan today dec 7th 2021 my bday. I'm 52 now herd them back when I was 16.. 17 dam.. it went by so so fast, now I'm fkin 52! N still a fkin metal head n will b until I die!🤘
Respect to FW,after all these years they still deliver,both with the ''new'' line-up(their last studio album was great) and with the original members doing stuff like this. \m/
John still has it. This is still one of my favorite songs off one of my favorite metal albums. Fates Warning are the father of progressive metal IMO. DragonForce could learn a thing or two. Like how Fates never did guitar solos show off the technical prowess. They did solos to fit the songs. They could still shred but they shredded within the song. Sometimes when I hear DragonForce I just scream out loud" Ok! I get it! You can play guitar enough already with the epic guitar duels." .
it's so very difficult to say, because in the long list of bands of the US METAL, I personally think that Fates Warning are the absolutly supreme god of that list...and I mean in a list of such quality bands such: CIRITH UNGOLl, Manilla Road, Liege Lord, Winterhawk, Manowar, OMEN, Ashbury, Savatage, Helstar, Vicious Rumours, Virgin Steele, Medieval Steel, Sirah, Majestyc Rite, Stormbringer, Black Death, Attacker, The Weird Lord Slough' Feg, Dokken, WASP, Morley Crüe, Twisted Sister, Queensyriche, Legend, Sir Lord Baltimore and Dust (from 70's of course...not definitly US METAL genre but for sure ''proto'' metal sound) AGENT STEEL...Sanctuary, Armoured Saint, RIOT, Metal Church, Heathens Rage, Crimson Glory, Fifth Angel, Lizzy Borden, Hear Apparent, Shok Paris, Griffin, Jag Panzer, Dark Age, Brocas Helm, WARLORD, Chastain, Savage Grace, Leather Wolf, CJSS, Titan Force, Malice, Attika, Deaf Dealer, TKO, Cities, Axehammer, Alias, Tyrant, Keel, Bitch, Alcatrazz, Satan's Host, Damien Thorne, EXORCIST!!!...GLACIER...THE RODS...ABATTOIR...Original Sin, Trauma, Stryper, Barren Cross, Blacklace, Victim, Hellion, Tension, Wild Dogs, Overlorde...and you know if you love metal that the undergound list keeps on and on...and in all this Olympus (?) of absolutly cult acts of the best musical genre if I got to pick the Shao Kahn of this I got FATES WARNING...This is flawless, epic, outstanding, ''frozen in time'', divine example of how metal was meanted to be!!! Thanks to the multiverse for giving us this...sorry 4 broken english and greetings from Chile
I'm 68. I loved these guys 30 years ago. First time after 30 years. I was BLOWN away by this. Favorite vocalists now are pained guys like Van Drunen of Adphyx and Tatgren of Hypocrisy. But I liked King of Merciful Fate. At the end this was reminiscent of M.Fate. Warning is a band that was ahead of its time. Progressive when the term Progressive didn't exist. That's why it's so totally fresh even today. Of all the thousands of vocalists who is better? What I really appreciated is when he said the so understated but so so sincere "Thank you so much". I love Dickinson but are Bruce's vocals better?
God I love his voice so much, I am glad he resurfaced after his hiatus with Fates Warning. Back in '89 a girlfriend gave me Awaken the Guardian on cassette. And I was hooked! I am stanning over his voice!
Arch has lost nothing. My first Fates album was No Exit. But then I bought Spectre & Guardian with my allowance & was completely blown away. Fuck, I wish I had pipes like that.
Nobody gives Steve Zimmerman enough credit on how much he meant for the sound of early Fates Warning. As far as I think, on Spectre-Awaken-No Exit. his playing is as original and special as Barriemore Barlow´s in Jethro Tull, Andrew McCulloch´s on the Fields-Lp or King Crimson´s Lizard also Mikkey Dee´s playing on Abigal-Them and Conspiracy...To name a few... His style looks a bit odd and awkward though, like he´s muscling through the set using only arms or something... Everybody changed appearance over the years but Jim Matheos looks almost the same?
This is what Fates Warning should have been. With this lineup! They could've been the USA version of Maiden.. Don't get me wrong I love all the stuff post Awaken the Guardian. But in my opinion that should have been a separate project all together. I get Matheos wanted to play more progressive, Rush inspired material.. But THIS is Fates Warning.. With the amazing voice JOHN ARCH! And the hard hitting drum style of Zimmerman!
I have to agree - I think Steve's drumming just fits this music so much better. i was really pissed when they kicked him out in the 80's. Or was it early 90's. Too many joints!
If I was there, I just know I'd be singing along in tears :'D. PLEASE guys, let there be another "Arch/Matheos" album. And may Fates live forever (with Alder)! :). Thank you John Arch for your wonderful lyrics and voice! And to FW Mk I, II and III, you guys planted the seed along with Queensryche to my fave genre of Metal, which has influenced and inspired so many others in Prog Metal to come \m/.
Here you have this guy preforming this extremely hard song and hitting those high notes at the age of 56, and then you hear James LaBrie who's 4 years younger and can't hold a steady note to save his own life basically from when he was 35. John arch is amazing.
OH FUCKING SHIT! I have heard this song live multiple times and always look forward to the "into the fire!!!!!!" lyric. I can't believe he still has it!
Only someone with powerful natural magic could sustain this still at age 56. This was the age of metal gods. And today we have an age of musical comedy
I'm listening to this on Amazon for the first time. I admit, I first heard Fates with Ray. I bought the Arch fronted records, gave them a quick once over, and didn't go back. That was over a decade ago. Now, listening to ATG live... i see that I screwed myself out of some killer prog metal. While I wait for Nov 6th, I'm going to indulge in the Arch era.
Fkng A man John has still got it i mean holy shit the scream at 3:57 i just was laughing like my fkng God love the original lineup i wish they would give us just one more album with toad line up!!!!
ahhhhh ahhhh ah ah ahh ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....fucked up amazing version of this so many years later WTF...one of the best albums...Arch has returned...as our Guardian
![АЛАУДИНОВ у Скабеевой: эти их ВСУ нас НЕ ДОГОНЯТ 😁 [Пародия]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/an0anqU4WGQ/mqdefault.jpg)
Jesus. Christ. Can you imagine being at the top of your game at 56 years old like this?
I'm 54 Fates warning rules Supreme
Would have liked to have heard Arch do the vocals for the No Exit album
man dude really took care of his voice
He just didn't sing for 20+ years. So, his voice didn't hurt with years of live shows.
I wish you could say the same about Ray
@@qwert4560 on the other hand, 20 years of not singing puts you out of training very harsh.
The magic voice of John Arch, it says it all!!
Matheos and Aresti one of the greatest guitar duos of all time.
T.S. Jarosz Michael and Kai Hansen, David Mustaine and Chris Poland, Janic Gers and David Murray.
T.S. Jarosz the whole lineup on this album and the previous one was just insanely good. unfortunately never to be replicated
@@davidhenrylake2047 More like Murray and Smith
@@davidhenrylake2047 DeGarmo&Wilton are miles foreward of any guitar duo.
@@qwert4560 DeGarmo and Wilton stood high, but on the shoulders of giants. We can't forget that.
Drums are flawless! This album will always stand the test of time. Music will never be the same.
100 percent agree
Definitely my desert island disc
John still sounds amazing...... the classic line up should team up with the recent one and make a world tour...... just like Helloween did...... that would be one kick ass tour
Un-be-lie-va-ble performance! I am stunned how John Arch and Steve Zimmerman while not being active for quite a long time still deliver so freakingly good!

Mind blowing!!! This is a dream come true.
Now this kicks ASS . The real fates warning. Rules
My favorite song off Awaken The Guardian.
JOHN ARCH.......that is all I have to say!!
Always!!!.
f*** yeah!!! It's simply a pleasure to hear this man sing!
John Arch sounds amazing! Awesome performance of this classic album.
Jeez fkn christ! John Arch just gave me chills. I need to see Valley of the dolls asap.
Damn... I just got chills too!
Got my DVD set and vinyl pre-ordered. I would have NEVER foreseen Arch sounding this good EVER. Those vocals are hard AF to sing at any age. Notice nobody dares covering these songs.
Chills.
NAILED IT!
me too man never saw a vocalist that did that, i dont know what it is, but he has a fucking incomparable talent no one has.
Man back in the mid ‘80’s. In my mind this band could do no wrong. But when they got rid of John Arch, I could not believe it, I never could understand it. I looked for years for him in a new band. Never happened, but here he is, sounding great, better late than never.
i quit on them after he left. might have gotten no exit but 0 after that
Dang. Jon Arch is in impeccable form. Jon thank you so much! Your are the Shakespeare of metal vocalists. I can't stop playing this song!
Metal is so damn refreshing, I could bathe in this shit.
U rule
Damn, this rocks ! 30 years after the release, they are always good ! I Thing i will buy this dvd anniversary
ARCH... 30 some years latter n still sounds 100% like the original recording! Arch n Ronnie James dio are in my top 5 all time metal vocalist.

Seen Fates Warning in San Antonio, Tx with Saxon and Killer Dwarfs back in 87'....Killer Show!!
Steve is a great drummer..God bless all of them,they gave us beautiful music through the years..!!!!
How!....How can he still be this good?!!
Grew up listening to Alder! Then went back to listen to the first few albums with John Arch! OMG what a freak of a voice. Amazing 🤟
what a performance !!!
This concert was a reminder of the genius that band had at that time. It still is brilliant to this day. It will never fade.
Shivers down the spine...
wow john sounds amazing
Bumps of the goose...I got them.
The same voice as Arch was younger, i can't believe! Horns Up for Jon and Fates Warning 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
I can t get over how good this is especially Arch. OMG!!!!!!
Respect to FW,after all these years they still deliver,both with the ''new'' line-up(their last studio album was great) and with the original members doing stuff like this. \m/
I can die now.
My God! These guys are giving their all. Epic.
John still has it.
This is still one of my favorite songs off one of my favorite metal albums.

The bands of my adolescence, the bands that at my 48 years haven´t dissapear, still remains.
John arch sounds amazing. One of best prog metal singers ever..or best metal singers period

Amazing, how is this not bigger news in the metal community?
God I love his voice so much, I am glad he resurfaced after his hiatus with Fates Warning.
Back in '89 a girlfriend gave me Awaken the Guardian on cassette. And I was hooked! I am stanning over his voice!
Sounds friggin' awesome! One of my favorite albums AND artwork of all time!
tears in my eys....
so good.
Steve Zimmerman is a monster on drums
This Is Jarzombek on drums, isn't it?
qwert nah mr zimmerman is apart of the original lineup which reunited for this shoe
@@NismoDJ20 they are look like twins :)
His drums and time changes just gave me instant goose bumps and i was hooked
Arch has lost nothing. My first Fates album was No Exit. But then I bought Spectre & Guardian with my allowance & was completely blown away. Fuck, I wish I had pipes like that.
"Awaken The Guardian" 30 years later.....still amazing\m/

Everybody changed appearance over the years but Jim Matheos looks almost the same?
Bobby Jarzombek and Mark Zonder should be on the list also!
@@samuelheldilaof6361 Zimmerman made the sound of Fates !!!!!!!!
Great metal in the same league as Queensryche and Iron Maiden: Great musicians and an awesome singer!
I still have Night on Brocken on vinyl with the burning witch.
John is fucking killing it. I'm blown away.
Sounds amazing!
This is what Fates Warning should have been. With this lineup! They could've been the USA version of Maiden.. Don't get me wrong I love all the stuff post Awaken the Guardian.

gsoltis29 it was the 90's.... he was on No Exit.
Good to Know. Being from CT all my life these guys were local hero's to us....
They kicked him in 88' and recorded Perfect Symmetry with Zonder in 89'.
personally i think arch is better vocalist than dickinson, dickinson never produced those spine chills, he is awesome but arch is something else
If I was there, I just know I'd be singing along in tears :'D. PLEASE guys, let there be another "Arch/Matheos" album. And may Fates live forever (with Alder)! :).
Thank you John Arch for your wonderful lyrics and voice! And to FW Mk I, II and III, you guys planted the seed along with Queensryche to my fave genre of Metal, which has influenced and inspired so many others in Prog Metal to come \m/.
It's like a visit from a dear old friend......
Perfect as Fates Warning always is!
john you still have it brother you are awesome!!!!!!
at 3:45 John just SOARS! Amazing
Astounding
Something I thought I would never see.
Oh! Here I am again! Cant stay away for long.
Absolutely flawless
Vintage Fates....
......OUTSTANDING!
Jim should put together
a FatesFest. Featuring this
Original lineup, the APSOG lineup
then the current lineup!
Holy Shit the original line up like I saw them as a kid.
They sound amazing
John Arch sounds Amazing
Your Majesty John Arch on vocals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here you have this guy preforming this extremely hard song and hitting those high notes at the age of 56, and then you hear James LaBrie who's 4 years younger and can't hold a steady note to save his own life basically from when he was 35.

Just received the double purple vinyl of this performance. It's amazing!
Excellence. No more comments.
OH FUCKING SHIT! I have heard this song live multiple times and always look forward to the "into the fire!!!!!!" lyric. I can't believe he still has it!
Best Lineup!
Only someone with powerful natural magic could sustain this still at age 56. This was the age of metal gods. And today we have an age of musical comedy
Bad ass!!!! Love it.
Best with Arch when they play anything from the first 3 albums!!
Still my faves
Amazing!!!
Timeless songs.
Best lineup ever
Arch on 🔥!!!
John Arch is FUCKING INTACT!!
I'm listening to this on Amazon for the first time.
I admit, I first heard Fates with Ray. I bought the Arch fronted records, gave them a quick once over, and didn't go back.
That was over a decade ago.
Now, listening to ATG live... i see that I screwed myself out of some killer prog metal.
While I wait for Nov 6th, I'm going to indulge in the Arch era.
Please come to San Francisco with this lineup?!
incredible and professional performance
grandes
Fkng A man John has still got it i mean holy shit the scream at 3:57 i just was laughing like my fkng God love the original lineup i wish they would give us just one more album with toad line up!!!!
fucking killing it..laying waste to the majority of modern metal..long live FATES WARNING !!!!
Damn, how can he still sing like that?
Skyn Musstash they tuned down a half step for these shows (album was in Eb tuning, and they’re in D Standard here). Arch still sounds incredible.
I know right? The guy being able to sing 98% like he did in the 80's is absolutely insane.
Malikarcanum Whoops. Thanks! At the time I wrote that, I was just getting into the band and I wasn’t quite sure of the original tuning on that album.
Always the best at KIT!!!!
oh my, what a voice :o this guy still rocks
ahhhhh ahhhh ah ah ahh ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....fucked up amazing version of this so many years later WTF...one of the best albums...Arch has returned...as our Guardian
Awesome. Thank you Metal Blade. Keep up the good work
Das war ein besonderes Erlebnis auf dem Keep it True Festival. Danke dafür und ich hoffe das es nicht das letzte war.
Don't Fuck with Fata Morgana. A true classic.
I'm honored to be the 1000th like!
Simply amazing is all that I can say otherwise I am speechless:)
Este si es fates warning ecxelente jhon arch.
I want more!!!
JOHN ARCH YOU THE REAL
I do not care if this is tuned down a tad..This is fucking epic!!!!!!
