One thing I would love is if they would re-release Karma, Epica and The Black Halo with a stronger mix on the kick drums and bass guitar. I guess I would also throw Silverthorn in for boosting the kick drums. Bass guitar sound is high enough in silverthorn as it drowns the low frequencies of the kick sometimes. I can barely hear them in Karma with a 12" subwoofer behind my seat.
There will never be another Roy Khan, he was in a class all his own. I will say this, he has raised that bar pretty high as far as the talented skills he has. Its a shame that I never got to see him live. I only discovered Kamelot a year ago.
@@InDifferentPurposeIf you haven't listened to Tommy in Seventh Wonder, you really should. Try "The Light" or "The Angelmaker" or "Break the Silence" or "Banish The Wicked". Or all of them.
Thomas has said in an interview that the Elizabeth trilogy is the work for which he is most proud. As one listens to the three pieces flow seamlessly into one another, the power, emotion and tension, you can see why he feels this way. A masterpiece of which he should be proud!
I just wish they would play it live again...or any of The Fourth Legacy. None of those songs are performed any more and I know Tommy has the range for them.
@@thomasgriffith3949 I've never listened to Tommy getting such notes live, I think not even recorded... Even if he could, I think he lacks the theatricality a Song as 'Elizabeth" recquires, so it could be the reason... I don't know, I'm just guessing, they must have a reason... Perhaps they want to leave those masterpieces untouched, there are a couple other iconic Khan songs that Tommy hasn't ever performed (at least that I know).
See, this performance shows you what a true vocalist is. It's not about range wanking. The endurance this man has vocally, the fact that he can sing this properly live, his breath control, the way he can go into that beautiful falsetto from mix, back into mix, and then start belting at the start like it's nothing, his overall technique/skill, and the way he expresses each note is why Roy Khan is a god and so unique.
Regarding his voice Roy Khan had, in his past, years of classical studies and you can clearly hear that in this video ... he is an extraordinary singer, probably the best singer metal has ever had ....
@@MassimoOmeri beyond the technical aspects, he also had emotionality that he poured into each phrase. Listen to how Elizabeth pleads to the mirror at first, then becomes a complete fiend at the end.
@@fallinginthed33pthis usually makes other Kamelot fans mad, but Tommy really is up there with Roy in terms of technical ability. He's one of the only guys I was willing to accept as a replacement.
I said it before. Roy has the ability to take you on an emotional rollercoaster ride. the range of emotions that he puts you through during each and every song just leaves you exhausted. when I am down in my darkest times Roy's voice is like the shining light that takes me out of that darkness.
+StarchaserArya WTF??? Stopped singing? This is news for me and oh my, it is bad news. I do not think his voice is surreal, he a skilled singer very few can compete with. I guess we both mean the same ;)
+GoPro Dog yeaah unfortunately he left Kamelotdue to some health issues in 2012 at least that's what he claimed .....I do hope he will return someday though.He's a very gifted singer of our generation....
+StarchaserArya Well, he stopped singing professionally. I think. He DOES still sing though. He's a Jesus Freak now and sings religious gospel music, believe it or not. He shaved his head and looks completely different now too.
Yes he did find divinity, he found Jesus Christ the one who is truly Divine and who Created him with an amazing voice. You know that is why he quite Kamelot, because Roy found eternal life in Jesus Christ: ua-cam.com/video/1HLDiA8iUNo/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/TXOWyjB7d24/v-deo.html
That's the best example of Roy's epicness - his live versions of songs sound way more incredible that studio ones. "Memento Mori" in Belgrade live video makes me cry every time...
12 minutes for the infamous trilogy, express all angle of emotions of a human being, a carved lesson of vanity, beauty, about growing old, about evil. Total domination!
The man was a fucking ROCK GOD.Had the pleasure to see him live, God damn PHENOMENAL. Miss your voice Khan, Kamelot will never be the same with you gone.
Tyde To put it a bit differently, he of course sings but he's also going through all the emotions the song is conveying. Not many singers can do that. Apart from his awesome voice (top 3 singers ever in my book), that was something that really made him stand out. He also (co-)wrote a lot of the great lyrics for Kamelot.
Roy Khantatat, I hope you are happy and doing well. You have made some absolutely incredible music, and you have one of the best voices on planet earth. Pouring your soul into every performance. Like others have said, it's rare to find an artist that sounds just as good or better live than in the studio. We heard you. I hope you release some more music in the future, in any form. I hope you read this. Peace and love be with you.
Roy's ability to convey the meaning and emotion of a song is without equal. The only other front man (or woman) I've ever seen who was even close was Freddie Mercury of Queen and that was a totally different era and genre of music. Roy Khan is truly an amazing talent!
Actually they are very similar. In 70s, Queen´s sound was very heavy and in their concerts they seemed a pure heavy metal band and freddie´s voice had little (proto) grouls mixed with his powerfull voice. Search FLICK OF THE WRIST live at rainbow 74. Roy and Freddie are my favorites singers.
@FatalPies you're right, again. Freddie is much better, that's why Tate can't sing Queen songs and he tried (Somebody to Love and Innuendo, the later was especially awful)
"OK so what's the gig?" "Basically, we just want you to come out while we play this song and sit in a chair and caress yourself for like 12 minutes." "OK sweet I'm there."
It's a darn shame this song hasn't been in their sets in over 6 years. It's my favorite song they've ever done, and considering their catalog, that is quite impressive. That said, as much of a fan of Tommy as I am (even bigger than Roy), I think this song is Roy's and I think only he could do it at this level.
im from the deathcore scene and etc. but i still find roys voice the most exhilarating in live concert its amazing. if i would ever be in a famous band i would give him so much credit for my influence.
don't get me started. When I and some metalhead friends of mine discovered Kamelot is going to play our country for the first time, I bought the tickets immediately. It was my fav metal band growing up. Month before the concert, Roy departed. We still went to the concert, Tommy was there, alas, our hearts were broken. There was a non VIP meet and greet with the bands, we got ours photos taken, the concert was great but it was literally the 1st or 2nd concert with Tommy.
A voz desse homem é um presente! Estou muito feliz que ele vai voltar com o Conception. Essa musica é épica, realmente uma obra prima do Kamelot. Sou muito Khanette meu deus
This is honestly, one of the best peices of music I have ever heard. It gives me goosebumps and I listen at least once a day. Like a Kamelot Fanboy freak :)
Wow, this song is really a testament to the WIDE range that Khan has (had?) going from growls to soft falsettos to deep rich mid and low range and those powerful highs.... I don't think Karevik will be able to fill his shoes completely unless I see him do this one

Couple years back was totally in love with this dude, and looks like still am.
What an exquisite performance. I swear this is the best & definitely interesting trilogy I've ever heard. Elizabeth II is my favorite. Both lyrics (chorus) & sounds won me over. That woman has a nice voice & she's a real beauty!
Right there with you Andres....discovered them only two weeks ago and I feel the same way....can't get enough....Roy's voice is outstanding....the closest comparison might be Geoff Tate of Queensryche....ordered a DVD of there's two days ago....can't wait for it's arrival! It seems these groups I've been discovering lately though no longer have there original singer....that sucks but at least we have some great recordings from the past.
Just went to a Kamelot show last night here in Munich. I would have given everything to see them play Elizabeth and to hear Tommy's take on it. But they did play unexpectedly many of Roy's songs. Rule the World was second on the setlist, that took me by surprise.
For me, this is Kamelot and Roy in particular at their glorious best. This song represents musical perfection to me. :) Pretty damn good performance too.
Kamelot will always rule! I dont care whos in it, the music is awesome. as long as the music doesnt go pop, I'm in all the way. If Youngblood were to leave, thats a different story. As for Roy, honestly I hope he is happy and in good health. He will be missed in the music world. I will never quit listeneing to him. I saw them this last October, and Tommy does a great job!! Kudos to Tommy for keeping Kamelot alive!! Cant wait for what's to come...........
2 and half years ago my friend showed me a metal band called KAMELOT , wasn't interested a lot 'cause listened and i still do a lot of bands , one night he posted karma on my fb wall and from that night till i die ROY KHAN will be THE BIGGEST SINGER EVER :D
esse cara era foda demais!!! esse solo em Elizabeth i é surreal bicho!!! que voz meu irmão!!!!! que banda massa!!! volta ROY!!!! para o Kamelot, claro!

Me reading this who discovered this band a year ago as well
You can see him with a band named Conception if you like. ;)
I checked out Conception. Thank you for sharing but personally I felt his vocals are not as strong. Kamelot was meant for Kahn and Kahn alone.
Kamelot does best live! This concert and the new one at the same place with that boy-band type from sweden.

That's the best example of Roy's epicness - his live versions of songs sound way more incredible that studio ones. "Memento Mori" in Belgrade live video makes me cry every time...
Hands down much more better than the studio version. This is the moment of glory for Roy!

I miss Roy so fucking much, one of a kind, no one will ever be able to replace that legendary voice
Still to this day, one of the best live performances ever.
His voice, for the love of God his voice.
I miss him :(
We don't have to anymore! Since he's back with Conception ❤️
i cant get enough of his voice. I've never been this obsessed over a band like i am with Kamelot..
The man was a fucking ROCK GOD.Had the pleasure to see him live, God damn PHENOMENAL. Miss your voice Khan, Kamelot will never be the same with you gone.
roy has amazing clarity of voice and vibrato
a game changer
One of the greatest, just most transcendent performances in the history of music.
Thank you for uploading this!
Around 15-16yrs ago I heard Kamelot for the first time. After that still and probably till last Roy khan was is and will be my all time fav ❤️
I keep listening to this concert. They really blew the roof off this place. Absolutely killed it.
A legendary performance. If there's one moment in time I wish I could have experienced myself, it's that one right there.
I already got goosebumps when he introduced the song. His voice is just so amazing.
He doesn't sing, he tells a story.
Tyde To put it a bit differently, he of course sings but he's also going through all the emotions the song is conveying. Not many singers can do that. Apart from his awesome voice (top 3 singers ever in my book), that was something that really made him stand out. He also (co-)wrote a lot of the great lyrics for Kamelot.
The dude at 7:30....that's my fucking bro. He is feeling it purely. Much respect to that man, who ever he is.
I'm jealous for real
This is the first time I have listened to this song. All I can say is wow...such an emotional performance.
5:02...dat growl
this performance is so good, it almost brings me to tears
It's brought me to tears three times.
By far the best kamelot song till today.
And outstanding performance by Roy and band.
I love it.

Well in case you didnt know, which you probably do. Roy is back with conception.
Rejoice fellow fans, Roy has returned to singing with his old old band; Conception!

@@carin4139 depens on what Tate you're talking about. If it's after '94, well, it's a pale shadow of the vocalist he once was.
"OK so what's the gig?"
"Basically, we just want you to come out while we play this song and sit in a chair and caress yourself for like 12 minutes."
"OK sweet I'm there."
She's also a guest singer for two songs, so that wasn't all she did that evening. ;)
Hahaha If I could hang out with Mr. Khan for 12 miuntes of looking follish I wouldn't mind at all.
Shawn Millender I fairly positive that's Mari Youngblood, the guitarists wife anyway... so it's not really that big of a deal.
that was Mari Youngblood! She was awesome and also did the vocals for Helenas theme in Epica and some in the black halo
This is the best album I've ever heard
It's a darn shame this song hasn't been in their sets in over 6 years. It's my favorite song they've ever done, and considering their catalog, that is quite impressive. That said, as much of a fan of Tommy as I am (even bigger than Roy), I think this song is Roy's and I think only he could do it at this level.
I agree. If a gun was to my head, I'd probably pick Tommy. Roy owns this song though. Period.
"Okay I'm tired I'm just gonna lie down for a while if you don't mind"
Those who attended the show are very lucky!!
Roy Khan is back with his old band Conception. Their new album, Reconception, will released on 02.11.18. Follow them on Instagram @conceptionmusic
Miss him so much his voice is just too damn perfect. I swear his voice is so much better than all of the singers today..
I love Tommy but I miss Roy more!! Its impossible not to feel all his energy and it gives me goosebumps every single time.
Can i just say that Roys voice sounds even more beautiful in live concert??..... It sure is.....
im from the deathcore scene and etc. but i still find roys voice the most exhilarating in live concert its amazing. if i would ever be in a famous band i would give him so much credit for my influence.
still losing my mind over this. My biggest regret is not going to see them live while Roy was still in the band.

How!? How is this genius written!? What do they have that we dont have! How can I ever write something like this? They were lightyears ahead of us...
Hats off for this musics and interpretations!!! We miss you, Roy :t
I can't believe you're back! The happiness in me is unmeasurable. Thanks Roy!!
one of roys best live performances ever!!!
the first part almost makes me cry.....so amazing
I am already feeling my gooseflesh rising from his first line.... God that was amazing!! Roy my lord!!
Love the Elizabeth trilogy. Never did get to hear this live. Wld have loved to have heard it.
2019 and still obssed with the song!
Beautiful, mesmerizing.....Roy you are amazing!
Talent. Pure and simple.
His voice is AMAZING.It's just...WOW
I wish I had seen THIS performance! I saw Kamelot in 2019 and it was nothing close.
What a master piece. Roy Khan forever.
One of the greatest live performances of all time.
Uma das mais lindas do Kamelot em 3 partes perfeitas...nao tem como nao se emocionar com essa letra 💗😢
No one knows how much I want to meet Roy Khan. He has such an amazing voice. THIS is what I call talented, well thought out and orchestrated music.
hereby my friends I tell you this once you see this live, You will never forget it. This is a Grammy winner
I love how little effort Khan puts into 10:46. He just makes it look so easy.
Beautiful !! I want this dvd
Amazing man. amazing singer one of the best and greatest. Come back Roy!
Wow.....his live vocals are amazing....
This is honestly, one of the best peices of music I have ever heard. It gives me goosebumps and I listen at least once a day. Like a Kamelot Fanboy freak :)
this is still one of the greatest live performances ive ever seen
Sad to hear of Roy leaving Kam. their new front man is great, but Roy will forever catch those moments in a song that were one of a kind.
brooks potts I totally agree with you.
Браво, Рой, браво, Томас,
браво, Камелот.
Карма - це шедевр!
Que es el heavy: ÉSTO. Fuerza, sentimiento, elegancia, melodía... Que pedazo de banda, de cantante y de álbum
Wow, this song is really a testament to the WIDE range that Khan has (had?) going from growls to soft falsettos to deep rich mid and low range and those powerful highs.... I don't think Karevik will be able to fill his shoes completely unless I see him do this one

No puedo aceptar de que no podré escuchar a Roy con kamelot de nuevo. Una pena muy grande y siento que nada tiene mucho sentido más...
Intenta escuchando Conception su anterior banda, tambien hay en youtube un tema religioso que aseguran canta el. aunque el audio es muy pobre.
La razón que sea pero jamás podré compartirla...es una estupidez!
Te entiendo perfectamente, hace más de 3 años que Roy se fue y aún no lo supero 😭
Nadie puede superar la partida de Khan, por más que pasen 10 o 20 años 💔
Tranquilos chicos ya volvió
