Geoff nailed that! It's incredible when you think about it because that song was released 40 years ago! To be able to still hit those high notes is nothing short of amazing. He deserves to be playing in larger venues!
@@wilfredoriverajr. it pains me to hear this. Absolutely awful vocal. I was there at the start of their journey and was a huge fan for many years....but to see so many people here saying how this was brilliant and he nailed it and hit all the high notes.....not even close.
My favorite singer. Geoff came up in a period where there were so many amazingly talented bands, guitarists and dynamic singers, but Geoff made it look too easy. 🤯🤘
I was in high school when this was fresh. I wasn't into metal yet. A guy in wood shop introduced me to Queensryche. Geoff and Bruce Dickinson have been my 2 favorite vocalists for over 25 years. 🔥
This was the first song I ever heard from Queensryche and was blown away. Geoff sounds great here, very cool. I thought I read something somewhere years ago that Geoff hated this song and refused to perform it live anymore 🤷🏻♂️, guess not lol
i will never get tired of hearing Geoff sing, I've been a fan since the first time i heard him. i know he had a lot of problems with his instrument but it sounds like he's recovered beautifully, it's hard to believe that is the voice of a man that is 64 years old. i can only hope my voice will be as strong as his when i'm his age.
Holy moly!!!! Unreal that he can still hit these notes when most other vocalists from this decade are in waaaaaay lower keys/octaves. Only wish it was the original band backing him.
When I saw them open for KISS in 1984, I knew at that moment, they would become my all-time favorite band! And, they did blow KISS out of the water too!
He went through a period where he wasn't that good. Clearly he's recovered, because this is obviously not lip-synched or processed (at least not more than has been standard for metal since the 70s!). This is just him and it's amazing. Maybe he went to a vocal coach or something. And the band sounds so tight. You can tell a lot of practice went into this sound. I hope I can make it to see them live on this tour.
Every singer will loose atleast half octive as they get older. It is just thining of the vocal cords I guess. Other factors can make singers loose more than that. Like vince neil for example.
No, it is not necessary. Opera singer don't loose their abilities with the age. You can listen for example russian metal vocalists, the didn't loose their voices because of more classic training instead of their american collegues. It is all about right training. You can find Legion or Kipelov and listen. Legion was formed earlier than Queensriche but their singer still one of the greatest metal singers ever.
Great vid! Being from Seattle, I was fortunate enough to see Queensryche play roller rinks and small clubs all around the area. Geoff still sounds as good now as he did then!
Queensryche were Brilliant as growing up 15yo here in Australia 🇦🇺 had this Song on my treasured HeavyMetal V.H.S tape recorded from T.V & gradually worn out from repeated watching whilst drinking + smoking weed on W.E's
Holy shit!! His voice has improved over past few years! Or maybe he finally recovered from past vocal chord injuries? Who knows but this man deserves his place in the rock n roll hall of fame! Top singers of the past 40 years next to Bruce (Iron Maiden) and Rob (Judas Priest) - love it!
Of all the differences in 80/90's era bands lead singers sounding different these days....i will and must say that Geoff Tate is still on point,with all his songs. May not be as easy for him but he pulls those notes just as good as before. Amazing!
Saw him after the pandemic and he was really good, but seemed kinda tired. Just read he had an undiagnosed heart problem and had open heart surgery last year. He told an interviewer that he feels like he’s in his 30s again. Damn…it shows in the clips from recent shows.
Geoff has still got it. they were one of my favorites growing up. It's a shame what all went on with the original line up. There was so much talent and so many phenomenal songs. Although I've been enjoying the newest album from the other Queensryche.
Please be sure to tip your waiters and waitresses. Murph and the Magic Tones will be coming up shortly. Seriously, it's very pleasing to hear that Geoff is sounding much more like himself the past couple years. It was very rough for a while. His legacy will never be in danger. What he did with Queensryche will stand forever. I also do NOT believe in pitting bands against each other. Music is NOT a competition. It's art!! I just love what Todd La Torre has brought to the mix with Queensryche and Geoff is doing his thing. There is more than enough room for both to co-exist. And it is possible to love both! Try it! It's very liberating!
One of my all time favorite singers. Saw Queensryche a bunch of times some of the best shows ever. On top of that I was in a band that opened for them on their American Soldier tour. Talked to Geoff for a while before the show very nice guy.
Top 3, if not the top, metal singer of all time. IMO, better than Halford, Dickenson, Bach, or anyone else I can think of...for range, tone, timbre, and emotion.
Gotta have DIO up there for not just his range but also his different tones, vowels, timbres/colours, and overall versatility of vocal techniques along with dynamics (thanks in large part to classical training).
😂Better than Dickinson, Bach maybe. Better than Halford your out of your FN mind. I know you know JP but do you know FIGHT and HALFORD.....amazing high pitched heavy metal. IN TO THE PITTTTTTTT.
Geoff is still out there performing and sounding as great as ever. 40 years and still incredible. And he's not embarrassing himself or his Legendary legacy. So many singers of that era are horrible because they never worked their craft and are Just embarrassing themselves.
I have always loved this song from when it was first released. Still have the first press EP. Seen them for the first time, headlining in Pittsburgh at the Civic Arena and they sounded excellent. Empire is a killer album. Geoff is one of the very best out there! 64 and stlll killing it!
So many people talk about Geoff losing his ability to hit those notes, but I have seen him live several times with his band. He still has it... Unreal vocalist and impacts so many people!!!
Little bit older but still killing it,Todd’s got a great voice and a shitload of talent,bit this right here my Friends is the original 4 octave range vocalist,he may have lost a step or too,but still killing it🤘🏻🤘🏻
Thank you Jeff for being such an almost otherworldly talent. Speaking for myself it sucks getting older. These days I tell people *While I am not over the hill I certainly can see the top of it, lol.* Stay safe everyone wish you and those close to you nothing but the best.
Geoff tate still sounds good at his age and looks happier than ever performing with his current band
Geoff nailed that! It's incredible when you think about it because that song was released 40 years ago! To be able to still hit those high notes is nothing short of amazing. He deserves to be playing in larger venues!
I was thinking the same thing! Amazing that he was able to hit that opening scream!
What's sad is Chris Degarmo wrote this, where he at?
If you take care of your throat, the voice is the last to go
was that real? he was kinda bent over hitting that opening note
@@wilfredoriverajr. it pains me to hear this. Absolutely awful vocal. I was there at the start of their journey and was a huge fan for many years....but to see so many people here saying how this was brilliant and he nailed it and hit all the high notes.....not even close.
My favorite singer. Geoff came up in a period where there were so many amazingly talented bands, guitarists and dynamic singers, but Geoff made it look too easy. 🤯🤘
I think "too easy" is the keyword for this particular performance....
I was in high school when this was fresh. I wasn't into metal yet. A guy in wood shop introduced me to Queensryche. Geoff and Bruce Dickinson have been my 2 favorite vocalists for over 25 years. 🔥
Wow Geoff sounds absolutely amazing here best he's sounded in year's.
He still sounds amazing. Saw them live in 93' and I thought it was the best concert I'd ever seen at the time.
Geoff really sounds absolutely incredible. Amazing to still be able to hit those notes.
All that opera training he had
Definitely checking out the show in Peekskill, NY in September
@@PsyVampyrehe didn't study opera, David Kyle taught him rock technique
@@PowerRobMusic his mother was an opera singer... so yes he did
@@PowerRobMusic I was always told it was Dr Kyle ..lol
Geoff Tate is the most Amazing vocalist I've ever heard. This guy still sounds GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lost Horizon Sworn In The Metal Wind th-cam.com/video/XfesTY3p0y4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=k7BNdpsXdTfeERlP
Geoff looks happy and healthy. It's good to see him doing well.
Dang, Geoff is sounding fantastic! Band is nailing it too.
This is the best I've heard Geoff sound in a very long time!
I thought Geoff was going to sing the song amazingly well but in at least 1 lower octave but he sang it in the same octave. WTF! Incredible!
It's not an octave down, it's tuned down but not an entire octave
I wish I had busted out my mime skills when I shook his hand at some club in Ballard..I mean no guy would forget if he got mimed
thanks karen!!!
@@PowerRobMusic thanks karen!!!
1/2 step hardly counts these days buck @@PowerRobMusic
This was the first song I ever heard from Queensryche and was blown away. Geoff sounds great here, very cool. I thought I read something somewhere years ago that Geoff hated this song and refused to perform it live anymore 🤷🏻♂️, guess not lol
What you read was true, but he's still doing it.

Geoff Tate is back! HELL YEAH 🤘🤘
Extraordinary! Don't ever stop Geoff.
Simply awesome wowzers Geoff has been taking care of his voice and a lot happier these days, great!
Love it !! Geoff sounds great. The band Rocks. Super tight. Thank you all
Amazing. Very impressive vocals, he has been one of my fav singers of all time, and it brought me to a tear to see that he has still got it...
He always had it but didn't want to pull those higher register notes until he got booted from QR which is a shame.
Had it. Lost it. Found it and brought it back. - a rare thing for a singer to be able to physically do @@metallion0738
Incredible how great he still sounds!
I bought the E.P. cassette at least five times. Wore them out. Love this song! Peace
Wow! Sounds better than I remember from the early 2000's! Jeff has improved? Just amazing! Metal forever!
Yeah he quit smoking cigarettes a while ago which allowed his vocal chords to heal back.
@@BagoPorkRinds Good choice for sure !!!
When I saw them open for KISS in 1984, I knew at that moment, they would become my all-time favorite band! And, they did blow KISS out of the water too!

I think He started hanging with more dedicated singers when he joined Avantasia and the he got in good shape. great shape actually
Great vid! Being from Seattle, I was fortunate enough to see Queensryche play roller rinks and small clubs all around the area. Geoff still sounds as good now as he did then!
they never played roller rinks. learn the history of the band
I just bought tickets to see Geoff in Boston. I can’t wait after watching this!
My god the man still has it!!
I just saw him Friday night in Patchogue LI. This was on the set list but he cut it. Thank you for sharing.
Nailed it.
This is pure magic ✨. Thank you so much for sharing 🙏🦋
Amazing!!! Shock and awe.
Fantastic !
Fantastic! Still got it. Thanks for posting.
You earned it Sir. You are still simply amazing stuff!!! Love you!!!
Amazing he can still pull this off!
Queensryche were Brilliant as growing up 15yo here in Australia 🇦🇺 had this Song on my treasured HeavyMetal V.H.S tape recorded from T.V & gradually worn out from repeated watching whilst drinking + smoking weed on W.E's
I saw Queensryche 4-5 times between 1988 and 1999. It was always a must see experience. Fantastic band.
Holy shit!! His voice has improved over past few years! Or maybe he finally recovered from past vocal chord injuries? Who knows but this man deserves his place in the rock n roll hall of fame! Top singers of the past 40 years next to Bruce (Iron Maiden) and Rob (Judas Priest) - love it!
WOW!!!! After surgery Geoff is back on TOP!!!!! \m/ I'm back in high school! 😆
Queensryche is not Queensryche without Tate period
Of vice versa, his musicians are good but are not originals.
You are the king, Geoff Tate!!!! Absolutely amazing!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Here's to Geoff Tate and his band.
Cheers
Of all the differences in 80/90's era bands lead singers sounding different these days....i will and must say that Geoff Tate is still on point,with all his songs. May not be as easy for him but he pulls those notes just as good as before. Amazing!
I wouldn’t say just as good as before…but still really good!
@@mortis5150. As good as before and even better than before I would say.
@@metallion0738better than 2013-2022 but still not as good, he’s flat for most of the verses. Nailed the screams though!
He didn't sing like this at all in the 90s or 2000 -2020 (except for 2005 for some reason??)
Geoff and the band sound amazing! Wow so cool! Thanks for posting!
Welcome to the 80’s! Love it…
One of my favorite songs wow Geoff great job and the band respect, thank you guys .
Saw him after the pandemic and he was really good, but seemed kinda tired. Just read he had an undiagnosed heart problem and had open heart surgery last year. He told an interviewer that he feels like he’s in his 30s again. Damn…it shows in the clips from recent shows.
saw him in seattle 2017 and Portland late 2019 the best
NOW he does it...
I bought that EP on cassette bc the local St Louis station played metal on Monday nights and they were playing 'the lady wore black.' The good ol days
I used to go to the Bellevue Skate Land, (Washington), and watch, "Battle of the Bands," Queensryche was always Phenomenal!
So awesome! Nailed it!!
Nobody can beat Geoff 🙏
GEOFF IS BACK! What a legend!
Geoff has still got it. they were one of my favorites growing up. It's a shame what all went on with the original line up. There was so much talent and so many phenomenal songs. Although I've been enjoying the newest album from the other Queensryche.
That was impressive! Wow!
Please be sure to tip your waiters and waitresses. Murph and the Magic Tones will be coming up shortly.

Amazing ! ❤

Top 3, if not the top, metal singer of all time. IMO, better than Halford, Dickenson, Bach, or anyone else I can think of...for range, tone, timbre, and emotion.
Gotta have DIO up there for not just his range but also his different tones, vowels, timbres/colours, and overall versatility of vocal techniques along with dynamics (thanks in large part to classical training).
@@samburti8587 I agree. I love Dio, and sadly overlooked him in my comment. I do however still think Geoff has the best pipes out of all of them.
Ummmm no he is no bruce
😂Better than Dickinson, Bach maybe. Better than Halford your out of your FN mind. I know you know JP but do you know FIGHT and HALFORD.....amazing high pitched heavy metal.
IN TO THE PITTTTTTTT.
@@simonwoolley73. Geoff has a more powerful voice than Bruce believe it or not.
I opened for Geoff at the chameleon in Lancaster PA saw him before the show I begged him to sing this song lol glad to see he can still sing it
I have been waiting for Geoff to get his stuff back together and be this guy again. Wow! So good. Cheers!
Geoff is still out there performing and sounding as great as ever. 40 years and still incredible. And he's not embarrassing himself or his Legendary legacy. So many singers of that era are horrible because they never worked their craft and are Just embarrassing themselves.
Holy Smokes ! Saw the Warning tour and it was the most amazing loudest show . My ears rang for 2 weeks ! He still nails it. Incredible
Holy fuck!!! He can still do it
Amazing
Wow Geoff has still got perfect pitch
Wow!! Sounds great!!
Geoff Tate proving to the world that he'll always be the man! Best metal vocalist ever!!😮
That was freakin awesome !!! Nice going Geoff and band !!! Still has it !!! :O
Damn, killer at work.....still great after all this years
Nailed it!!!! 🤘🤘🤘
Ok, #1 nobody Sings like Geoff Tate.
#2 those high notes are on the last song of the night ... AMAZING!
An amazing recovery Geoff 🙏🤘👊
in case there are no backing tracks on this ;-) i would say this is pretty much perfect !
Damn Geoff still hits those notes!! 👍🏼😎
Very good one of the most beautiful voices in metal.
Hands down my favorite singer I all time! He isbqueensryche!
I have always loved this song from when it was first released. Still have the first press EP. Seen them for the first time, headlining in Pittsburgh at the Civic Arena and they sounded excellent. Empire is a killer album. Geoff is one of the very best out there! 64 and stlll killing it!
Cant even. This makes me so happy!!! Bravo Geoff
So many people talk about Geoff losing his ability to hit those notes, but I have seen him live several times with his band. He still has it... Unreal vocalist and impacts so many people!!!
He's freaking hitting those high notes perfectly, Tate's fooling time.
man those vocals are bad ass all these years later very impressive.....
❤ belo show ao vivo , grande performance de Geoff Tate
One can learn to imitate original drummers, bassists and guitarists. But nobody can imitate Geoff Tate but Geoff Tate. Sounded great!
Much respect for Geoff Tate. Great music over the year in my top 20 musicians.❤❤ 2023/8/8 Doing a top 54 for my 54th birthday and this song is #4. ❤❤
Queensryche was the 2nd best Metal band of all time. Behind Judas Priest!!!!
Behind Judas priest and better than Maiden back than in my opinion of course.
how beautiful..... that voice is unmistakable, it's very strong...... beast
Geoff Tate is the best vocalist in rock and roll music hands down.
Geoff...wholey shit. You nailed those notes. That was amazing! I'll be at the next show!!
super great
Impressive 👍 it never gets old and kicking ass 😮 still
Amazing.. his voice gives chills to this day.
Crazy he can still knock it out of the park, even at the END of the show.
He's got this still. Oh my god
Little bit older but still killing it,Todd’s got a great voice and a shitload of talent,bit this right here my Friends is the original 4 octave range vocalist,he may have lost a step or too,but still killing it🤘🏻🤘🏻
AMAZING 🤘🤘🤘🤘
I just saw Geoff Tate. He sounded fantastic. This video doesn’t capture how good he sounds
