- Original: • 7. Take Hold of the Fl...
his is Queensrÿche's 2nd concert in Japan and outside North America, luckily for us fans it was captured on film -- it was later released in 1985 on VHS and Laserdisc, but has long been unavailable and out of print. This having once been officially released on video, it was originally edited so the tracklisting was different (see the playlist link in the bottom), and it contains some vocal overdubs (like Geoff laughing in the beginning of Nightrider, as well as other bits throughout the show).This bootleg is already to be found on UA-cam, but in rather poor quality, so I thought I'd upload a better one.
The concert itself is great, the band is playing fiercely and Geoff is screaming and wailing to the best of his ability, nailing those high notes.
All of the songs are great versions, even if they contain overdubs throughout.
Enjoy!

One of the best live performances ever captured on video.
Can't believe i was 15. They were my first concert with Ozzy. Rage for order album. His energy was insane being the last song of this concert 🤘😝
I paid 5 bucks at the door of Hammerjacks in Baltimore MD .. It was Jan 1985 . Just a few months after this vid . Queensryche was playing , So I got a bar-stool overlooking the side of the stage , Right in front of the PA . During the entire show . Wilton would look straight at me and shake his fist , Rockenfield would point his sticks and Geoff saw I was going wild . During this song. He kept on pointing at me and then when the lead break came , Climbed up and took my hand and we both watched DeGarmo do the lead together . I'll never forget the look in Degarmo's eyes " Dude , don't push him off " and when the song ended and Geoff climbed down . Degarmo looked at me and said Thank you .. Awesome
my sister Marla played Hammerjacks in the 80's... do you remember Cyclone Ranger?
@@ThomasTallant I only went once . It wasn't my haunt
Man that is truly something that will stay with you forever. Cool!
The best metal vocalist of 80's metal. They also made the best 80's concept album called "Operation: Mindcrime", You should give it a listen, it is a complete story so start from the 1st song and play through to the last. (trust me, if you like 80's metal, you will love this album)
For my money, the best album, front to back, of all time.
Best rock vocalist ever, IMHO
Check out Triumph live at US Festival
@@GHmorenos Triumph is criminally underrated. Fantastic band, and that show (US Festival) is a great one!
There were many lead vocals in the 80's! My era
He was singing for over an hour and 15 minutes before he did this song.Then they followed up with the song called Queen of the rike.I was twenty two when this was recorded
Rych
Ryche😊
Reich
@@MRCANTGETANAME 😂🤗
I was 16 and remember it well. Seen them many times in Germany and America.
You need to use headphones when listening to music. The experience is way much better!
No auto tune in the 80's!!
Tate has one of the best vocals in rock
One of the Best bands ever. Great reaction. ❤
Thank you for reacting to this song! The original lineup of Queensryche is my favorite band in the universe! Queensryche is still making music today, but only has two of the original band members in it now, Michael Wilton, guitar, and Eddie Jackson, bass.
There are SO many great songs from them, it's difficult to suggest just a few. But I'll try:
"Silent Lucidity" ( beautiful ballad about lucid dreaming).
"Anybody Listening?"
"One More Time"
"Another Rainy Night"
"The Thin Line"
"Breaking the Silence" from their concept album, which is a MUST listen! Complicated, compelling story.
"Walk in the Shadows" about vampires.
They write about a variety of subjects which are always intriguing.
I enjoyed your reaction, and hope you do more original lineup Queensryche in the future!
The original Queensryche was amazing, the had the chops, songs and killer musicians, they have many great songs. Geoff Tate is incredible on vocals and is a perfect match for this hard rock - metal hybrid that is one of the very best bands of the 80s and into the 90s. Their Operation Mindcrime album is a great concept album and they were fire right away with their debut EP and the great Warning album. From the EP or from the same concert you just reacted to, do The Lady Wore Black, another all time banger from one of my favorite bands. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎸🎶
I love it when someone new to Queensryche reacts. I have the original VHS tape of the concert from 1985. When I'm feeling down for whatever reason, I go to UA-cam and watch reactions to THOTF, I Will Remember and Silent Lucidity. It's like this secret that all Queensryche fans know and it's only now that people are learning about them and specifically Geoff Tate. It's a shame they didn't have UA-cam back then. It may well have changed everything for them. Some say Best Metal/Rock vocalist, I say G.O.A.T. of all genres of music. He could sing anything.
My teen years. Awesome album.
I was lucky enough to see them live 2 different times. Once in Oakland CA and once in Fresno CA. Great band to see live
I know! I got to see them live (and meet them) many times, and each show was off-the-chart! They were all soft-spoken and very nice at meet and greets too. Never seemed to be in a hurry. Very personable! Hard to squeeze a smile out of Eddie though.😂
I just saw Geoff perform Tuesday night great show. Obviously he can't hit those same notes 40 years later, but still sounds great! Now watch Silent Lucidity.
Hi, your channel reached me by reacting to one of my earliest Progressive Metal bands. I saw them live in Sweden during this tour when they opened (supported) DIO (Ronnie James Dio). Fantastic live performance with a great sound live.
Greetings from Sweden!
This will never be equaled. It's over.
In 1983 I was 18 and working at an Indie record store/headshop. Our record distributer knowing I was a Metal Head gave me a promo copy of Queensryche's EP "Queen of the Reich". I took it home put it on the turntable and was blown away. I have been a fan ever since, I have seen the several times. The best show was in 2005 at the historic First Avenue in Minneapolis, MN. They played their big hits then played "Operation Mindcrime" in it's entirety. At the end of the show the sound guy gave me a set list with notes written on it by Geoff Tate.
Similar for me, I worked in a record store (regional chain) when the EP came in. I opened it up and put it on the turntable in the store and was hooked ever since.
Geoff is one of the most underrated voices in rock! It amazes me how many people don't know who he is! Loved the reaction just subscribed! Have a blessed one!!+ oh ps totally different genre of music but Lenny Williams let's talk it over or cause I love you have the same wow factor!
Geoff tate had quite possibly the best voice for a metal band back then.
I agree!!!!
One of the heaviest metal bands ever!
You need to listen to silent lucidity by queensryche as well with headsets
It was cool how you mentioned Freddie Mercury because he reminded you of this singer whose name is Geoff Tate. Well, they do both have the same 4-octive vocal range, however, Geoff Tate was a classically trained vocalist and Freddie was not, but Freddie was a classically trained pianist. One of the interesting facts to me is that Geoff Tate, Ann Wilson (singer for the band Heart) and Chris Cornell (singer for the band Soundgarden) all had the same vocal teacher, David P. Kyle. You did a great reaction to the song.
So glad i got to see them 3 years later on the rage tour.
I'm glad you discovered my once favourite band.
These immensely talented very young lads from outside Seattle were eventually considered "progressive metal". The drummer is only 20yrs old and the rest of them aren't much older.
Probably the best vocal range
This was phenomenal
My rocker is back this band kicks ass real live no auto tune kick ass keep rocking
I saw them live in 85 opening for KISS
I just saw QUEENSRYCHE in Denver Colorado 4-3-2024 and they absolutely shredded it. I wasnt so impressed with the new singer, but the band was awsome. I was front center.🤘😎
We saw him last week, after 40 years. He still sounds amazing! Watch ‘Queen of the Rÿche’ and his ballad ‘Silent Lucidity’ the official version. It’s beautiful… I had no idea he plays the saxophone 🎷 either!
"His" ballad? He didn't even write the song, despite what he say during his shows.
You've heard them if you were alive in 1991 because Silent Lucidity was inescapable.
Good review.
Geoff Tate of Queensryche, Ann Wilson and her youngest sister Nancy Wilson of Heart ❤, the late Layne Staley of Alice in Chains and the late Chris Cornell of Soundgarden lived in Metro Seattle in the 1970s. They were students of the late singing coach David Kyle. Marilyn Horne and Frederica von Stade, who moved to my hometown area the San Francisco Bay Area 🌉, are the female classical music singers who were his students 🎓 👩🎓 .
Great 👍 Suggested videos 📹: 1 Queensryche performs The Queen of the Reich 2 Heart performs There's the Girl 👧
🔥
Great live Geoff is a classically trained musician from Stuttgart Germany seen live 10 times can manipulate his vocal folds with ease to reach e octave and beyond. Guitarist Chris Degarmo quit the band and now is an airline pilot. Jet city woman is a song about Geoffs wife a former flight attendant.
Todd LaTorre can definitely hold his own on the QR catalog…🤘
Nope. Different kind of singer. Like him, but this version IS Queensryche.
Seen them 3 times in the 80's........Geoff Tate live is absolutely incredible!
There are many iconic metal bands who never got airplay in those days.
Bands like Iron Maiden and Queensryche were not airplay worthy but were still HUGE acts.
They did have one radio hit…Silent Lucidity in 1990. That entire album EMPIRE is my favorite album to this very day.
Every song on that album was produced to absolute perfection.
Iron Maiden have sold over 130 million albums worldwide but never had a radio hit.
New subscriber here. Great choice of performances! And WOW such pretty eyes!
Have seen the original lineup 4 times. Was a fantastic band. When guitarist degarmo left it all went downhill
You've got to listen to Nightwish live at Watkins open-air Festival 2013 you will be pleasantly surprised I bet cuz I was
Big rabbit hole beautiful.Take hold of the flame operation.Mindcrime revolution calling whole mind crime album walk in the shadows can go on for ever empire whole album
THE QR lineup. Epic.
🎧
This was before they were super stars
The concert was posted on UA-cam awhile back I forgot about it til now. Wish their was a way to get the concert off of UA-cam. Anyway good tune.
Saw them in the 80s opening for Metallica ,saw the guys from Metallica next to the stage with there mouth open
Not to be a hater but the two pictures of the band @5:50 are of the band without the singer of this song Geoff Tate. To me there is no Queensryche without Geoff Tate, Tate was the bands singer for over 30 years.
Goeff Tate (the singer) is on his own 62-63 and still amazing,,,, you are adorable friend,,,,,,,,,,,,,, check out Scorpions song Blackout
Watch Silent Lucidity
Hi how do i go by sending you a music video request?
Geoff Tate has such an incredible range in his voice all these guys top tier musicians queenscryche is some awesome progressive metal or fates warning or hammerfall blind guardian cool power metal too and to get to perform in japan at the time someone thought they had lots of potential to be able to go to japan at that time
Nice! Check out their song, Queen of the Reich, same concert!
Hi Jamie , please review Rush .....Spirit of Radio, Tom Sawyer, The Trees or Working Man. I think you would like any of these. Thank you for your consideration.
Rush...greatest band of all time.
I turned Diggity watching a Beautiful woman liking the music When I was 21
My 3rd CD I believe? After RUSH A Farewell To Kings and HEMISPHERES! The usual next QR is SILENT LUCIDITY but on the same album why not ANOTHER RAINY NIGHT or DELLA BROWN or the title song EMPIRE and then the usual! Good Job Miss Bryant!! Did you have a Grandmother named Anita? Peace 🕊️☮️♾️😎
I’ve seen them 3 times back in the 80s early 90s too bad you were born 30 years too late.
Do GUIFFRIA call to the heart live in Japan.
You should do a reaction video to Mr. Big - Addicted To That Rush.
You need to listen to Silent Lucidity. The original video.
Wrong album cover in your display. Like someone else mentioned, wear headphones when you listen to more Queensryche.
Only 40 years ago...thats all
your cover albums or of the new split version of Queensryche this is the old school band with Geoff Tate. you need to listen to more of the old band
Zebra, Who’s Behind the Door at the Summit in Houston 1983.
headphones. invest in a good pair.
Queen of the Reich
Geoff Tate was 25 in 1984, now at 66 still tours but has to down tune cause he can't quite hit that E5 high note.
There are much better clear videos of this performance out there. It was kind of unwatchable.
AHHhhhhh... Firstly, THANK YOU for doin' THIS PARTICULAR TRACK. SECONDLY, WHATTA TIME TO BE ALIVE!!!! Queensryche combines OPERA, with Good Ol' ROCK-N-ROLL, sprinkle in some PROGRESSIVE POWER ROCK... & WHAT you have LEFT is THE GREATEST MUSICAL FANBASE this side of such GREAT, LEGENDARY BANDS like LED ZEPPELIN, PINK FLOYD, QUEEN, RUSH, GENESIS, etc. Check out their catalog of hits & hits from THIS ERA of ROCK-N-ROLL!!!! Along with their GREATEST INDIVIDUAL PROFESSIONAL MEGA PLATINUM ALBUM... "Operation Mindcrime", a CONCEPT ALBUM which follows the horrific story of MIND-CONTROL tactics OVER THE POLITICAL AGENDA of false Saviors... from religion to the candidates who say that they will effectuate CHANGE, but they NEVER do... once we, the people, vote them in to public office. Kinda sounds like TODAY'S MODERN WORLDVIEW, doesn't it??? DEFINITELY ONE OF THE GREATEST CONCEPTUAL ALBUMS EVER MADE!!!! IT'S UP THERE WITH PINK FLOYD'S "THE WALL"... & RUSH's "2112" Album. By the way, I subscribed!!!! I look forward to many more reactions from your channel in the future!!!! Peace, Love, & Liberty. MIC DROP 🎤.
Your Greta Van Fleet wishes they were this good 😂
great choice....best band out here
Queensryche is still touring. Course with a different lead singer. And Geoff Tate that was the singer in this video is still touring I have all of Queen Drake's CDs and Geoff Tate's CDs. His band is operation mindcrime. I got to see these guys when they're EP just barely came out Queen of the Reich and like 1982 in Bismarck North Dakota
The original Queensryche was amazing, the had the chops, songs and killer musicians, they have many great songs. Geoff Tate is incredible on vocals and is a perfect match for this hard rock - metal hybrid that is one of the very best bands of the 80s and into the 90s. Their Operation Mindcrime album is a great concept album and they were fire right away with their debut EP and the great Warning album. From the EP or from the same concert you just reacted to, do The Lady Wore Black, another all time banger from one of my favorite bands. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎸🎶
