- It's time for some more stuff from the Promised Land tour. This show has both awesome video and audio quality. It was taped by a guy who goes by the name of 'rcsguy664' - and he did a good job of documenting this show! Other camera angles exist, so maybe they too will surface one day.
This show is complete, with the audio quality having a very clear sound, and the video showing the band members as well as having good focus on the video screens from time to time.
As for the show itself: Queensrÿche plays their entire Promised Land album in full length, albeit not in order. They play a handful of songs from all of Operation: Mindcrime as well as Empire, and also throw in some old classics in the mix. The band also ramped up the theatrical side of the show since the Empire tour, and the show now features more video production, as well stage actors and even a bar on the stage! Being captured on video, it does the show justice, as such things would have otherwise been missed on audio-only bootlegs.
As far as the songs goes: Some of the older material like Neue Regel and NM 156 are sung in a lower key, and Geoff avoids some high notes on some of the other older songs as well. There are no bad versions of songs on this show, only some different versions ;)
Geoff's voice sounds really raspy and rough compared to previous (and future) years, which is a result of smoking (and perhaps bad vocal habits and other things?), so his tone is different, but he still sings well on this show, and the rest of the band are playing equally well - as if the norm for Queensrÿche.
Overall it's a great show, and deserves to be WATCHED. It's an experience in itself, and it's one of the last shows on this mega-tour before Queensrÿche's mega-tour days were coming to an end.
Enjoy!

This tour was so badass.......it really was one of the best concerts I've ever been to.....I've seen Queensryche on every tour since the Warning.
Very strong concept and amazing performance.A real song coming from the future with a prog structure, not just fast skill.
This is AMAZING easily the most fucking INCREDIBLE performance i have ever seen my life! Staggering!
Dang.. Saw them on Rage For Order and it totally wiped the floor with this stuff.
I am glad I saw them live on this tour. One of their best performances.
Great video. I was one of the guys in the bar scene standing next to Geoff. A friend of mine (the other guy) won a contest.
That's cool! It must have been surreal to be on stage with the band during the actual concert itself!? :D
Are you the guy with the black or white t-shirt at 5:40, or one of the two guys joining around 6:30?
+Queensrÿche Bootlegs Guy with red basebal hat and white shirt joining the bar scene at 6:30. I help Geoff up (per the bartender's direction) at around 7:30. It was very cool.
Oh that's you!? I've always loved how you help him up, and he acts along with it. It's cool :D
Truly a Masterpiece!
@@andrewmiller15 Wow! What a lucky guy you are! This is my favourite song of all time, ever! And my favourite band! Stunning performance!
Best concert I’ve ever seen in my life. As someone with addiction issues in my family, including a brother who died from it, this song really hits home for me.
Word. Same. Sorry to hear of your brother. Lost my father to it 6 years ago. Watching this now hits a bit different. Always moving and inspiring. Well wishes to you!
Miss this band when they were all together. Chris really made them perfectionist. Something that was lost after he left. Scott is such an amazing drummer! They should reunite now that Tate seems to be singing better and they should team up again with James “Jimbo” Barton. I think the way he engineered this album was amazing. I don’t think Queensrÿche ever came close to this production again since than. I’m sad Chris DeGarmo at this age and time doesn’t want to revisit what was a masterful group and something he helped create. Before it’s too late and they are too old! In the words of Bruce Dickinson.... “ya never miss it until it’s gone away” and some day Chris might look back and be crushed he jumped ship, or at least didn’t jump back on when he had the opportunity.
I was so upset when Chris left but things become clearer with time and I realize 100% he absolutely did the right thing by leaving. Would love to see them all get together 'one more time around' but Chris is so at peace and judging from all the ugliness that ensued after he left, that should tell you exactly what kind of monster of negativity he does not care to revisit. I'm just happy I got to see this performance live, that we have all the old records to enjoy and so glad Chris walked away like a fucking Buddha, is healthy, and living his best life outside the insidious music business. I'm sure there's plenty he misses but more that he doesn't miss.
@@OpheliaDarkling Is the music business negative or has it to do with GT and his family?
Saw this from the fifth row when they came to Milwaukee at the MECCA Arena....it was so hard to follow after having seen Empire two years earlier .....
This is so amazing! I love Promised Land and regret so much that I missed this tour. This is genius in my opinion and every piece of footage I've seen from this tour is just further proof. Geoff seemed to be exorcising something from his soul in these shows and the video footage on the screens is profound and very powerful.
Was lucky enough to see this in the uk, Wales actually, also the only time I got to meet them👍
I believe it was a cathartic experience for sure. It was as close to a Broadway production any rock band from our era has gotten. Sadly, alcoholism isn't something Geoff's managed to conquer but the moment of clarity and the revelatory nature of this song, performance and album are at the very least therapeutic in a sense for those with open minds and ears. Those quick to criticize this record/performance I think are overwhelmed by the reality of what this song is trying to say. It certainly speaks volumes of the frustration & disappointment following fleeting success that ultimately resulted in the fracturing of this great band. I'm just glad I witnessed them on this tour before Chris' departure & their inevitable descent. This whole album and performance was and remains cathartic af for me.
@@OpheliaDarkling Well said.
@@brettkeepin808 So jealous!
This shows the incredible soul and ability of this band. The ideas, concepts and versatility of this line up has not been matched since and never will. I think it also tells that such creativity has a price and the band and it`s fans had to pay for the incredible music that is ever unmatched and sadly missed.
Jones Beach shows are so unique, the boats pull up to watch the show from the bay, They put rockenfield in a box to preserve the drumming sound.. Classic!!
It's a really nice show, and production altogether. And luckily the quality of this recording is excellent as well.
Saw them 3 march 1995 in Milan, it was an extraordinary experience.
One of the weirdest live settings but so ingenius...thank you Ryche for spreading the metal disease
Awesome
Love this and Queensryche but this was the beginning of the end,,,😢
Yeah, the cracks began to show once they came home after Empire. Fleeting success really does a number on musicians.
Love all of Promised Land 💗
infuckingcredible one of the best performed songs ever written and ever made
I saw them 3 different times in the 90’s… I really like the concept of this concert. I saw them everytime in Tucson.
I feel as I'm living all of the Queensryche anthology at this point ive gone from the ep to currently promised land I'm 46 so I'm half way to me demise and the end of the qr saga
just their best song
i was here - amazing
I still have the T shirts from the show. Only worn a very few times.
June 25 (IIRC) 1995. Atlanta GA. Lakewood Amphitheater. Front row, center. Great show. Promised Land was an acquired taste (but a great album) that was a huge disappointment (to me) when the album came out.
THEN, I went to the concert and it changed my perception. Great show.
Parked behind the stage before the show and listened to the sound check.
Geoff was in top form at the Atlanta show. No raspiness or anything.
same SLC Delta Center great show horrible sound. Type O Negative opened though.
@@darrenweis113 Shame the sound was bad. Queensryche and Type O Negative were great.
WOW.....What a performance !!! Outstanding....thank you queensryche!!
wow is this is so good
Wow and now nearly 30 years gone by
What an end!!! Amazing and trascendent work.
Just a perception, there is some connection in the symbolism of that "TOOL beer" and the vibe of the song, make me think... 🤔
OMG, this is soooo cool!
Geoff playing the sax!? Nice.
Promised Land IS soooo much better than Empire and if you dont believe me then ask me! O saw this show in Dayton Ohio and I have it on VHS as well. If I could just get it transferred to DVD that would be awesome!
By far
AMAZING BEST SHOW OF THE GREAT QUEENSRYCHE... 💀
LoLoLoLoL ~~ So good! Thanks!
You're welcome!
Very surreal
whats the piano opening? who wrote it and played
The Pink Floyd influence is so obvious...But its a great song and album..either way..!!!
Was hoping they'd become the pink floyd of our generation. This was as close as they got and then self destructed and stagnated, sadly. Dig watching the good ole days though.
This was so inspired, the music and tour, the modern QR band is just a travesty.
Went to see this tour. The other folk on stage were just a distraction. And no encore. Was gutted.
Awesome video and Queensryche is timelessly amazing, but the new ads that youtube imparts are awfully distracting. But youtube only cares about the money.
Might I suggest an ad-blocker? 😊
Who is the black guy in the band?!
Last decent record, 4 stand out songs. They lost their way after this.
Older stuff better. Just sayin...
I like how he can't find Geoff
Love this album but I am not sure what to think about the stage theatrics. The band looks out of their element and a bit uncomfortable in my opinion. Definitely the beginning of the end.
Yes...
It was great! This is out of context. They played a lot of songs in the normal stage before this. Then the video played and the crew set up that little jazz band type lounge. They played like 3 songs this way then it was removed and they went back to the normal stage.
But the coolest part about it was all the people on stage were contest winners from local radio stations. 👍
@@kristianjohnson8787 Thanks for the background info....
what even is this? how did they last 20 years from this point on doing this crap
is this a broadway play? no it’s a metal band..
and it only got worse from here on out no wonder why Degarmo had enough and bailed..
feel bad for the rest of the guys.. must’ve been a huge relief when Todd finally joined the band
We've come along way in the " promised land", nowadays, the guy in the red hat wod get beat up, just for wearing a red hat, if he dared.. the " Promised land" is officially gone, Thanx mob!❤️🙏👉🇺🇸
Most depressing Queensryche offering. It’s like they completely went against all the elements that made them so great! 😒😒😒
It was an honest and cathartic record and performance. If that's "depressing" then you're quite jaded and dismissive. Fleeting success, egos and substance abuse will inevitably take it's toll in a business built upon high turnover, especially in the grunge era. This album did really well considering it was right after Empire & during grunge fallout. They were always experimental & collaborative especially with Chris at the helm so this was in completely in their "element" especially given the context. Considering Chris left after their next album, it all fits, so in that sense it was sad, but an honest and moving record. Sorry you didn't see it that way.
How is this depressing? This is a piece of art and a very underrated album.
People are DANCING TO IT? URRRRGH.... 🤮🤮🤮
