My buddy and ex band member ..Called me up and told me he was opening for some band called Crimson Gory . That they were good . So I went to a small club in Baltimore MD and was blown away .. They were actually selling the first album at the venue . Couldn't buy it in the stores . The year was 1990 .. My buddy would later go unto to be the bass player for Iced Earth as a side note
@@timlansing3513 He's far from his prime here sadly. Clearly a tortured soul, and died '09. He was up there with the greatest metal vocalists in his prime for sure though.
May God rest Midnight's tormented soul in peace! He will remain unforgetable! And hopes for a new album (anticipated at least since 2006)... we will be waiting!
Was lucky enough to see them at some bar/nightclub around Cleveland Ohio. Performed Transcendence release. Back when still sporting masque's/makeup. Good times :)
DAMNN IM FROM CLEVELAND TOO I WISH I GOT TO SEE THEM THEN..MUSTA BEEN PEABODYS OR FLASHES??I SEEN TONS OF BANDS AT THE OLD PEABODYS THOUGH TROUBLE SANCTUARY AND FATES WARNING!!
Να σαι καλά φίλε που το ανέβασες. Πολύ μεγάλο συγκρότημα. Τους είδα και με τον Wade και με τον Todd. Πόσο θα ήθελα να του έβλεπα και με τον Midnight :/ Rip
@@dunkelheitssohnhellsfirstb9712 Well in the guys defense, he's probably drunk & just enjoying some rare Crimson Glory classics, i would totally act that way too :D
Midnight might be a little out in some parts, but how can you listen to him when a m...ron sings (or barks) completely out of tune and voicing. Shut up if you can't sing
@@patska78 Great memeory for me was seeing Metal Church with Rob Monroe - (great singer but glad mike howe is back..) an very pretty asain girl was in front, pithcjing all the vocals 'the dark' 'watch the children pray' etc. She was good. So surreal, drunken untrained baritone karaoke might have been a 'move somewhere else moment'.
Such a good band! I got to see these guys on the Transcendence tour, they got NO promotion. I found out about the show 3 hours before they went on. Only 40 people there. It must have sucked for them that so few were there; but, it was great for me, it was like getting a private show. Jeff Lords was a huge influence on my bass playing, his playing really taught me how to lock in with the drummer. SPECTOR FOREVER!
About the second drummer: at that time their singer was Todd La Torre, in this concert they had the opportunity to have their original singer, Midnight, and so La Torre, only for this date, played the second drums together with their drummer. It seems to me a very cool thing, a way to welcome the original singer back only for this date without excluding the current one.
That's not correct, Todd came on board in 2010 after the late n great Matt LaPorte introduced him to the band prior to the Midnight memorial show at ProgPower X in 2009 where Todd performed as a guest. The guy playing percussion parts here is Jesse Rojas who's been a touring drummer in the band from around 2000 in various stints up until 2006-07.
Strange, the first time i watched it a few years ago i only seemed to see the flaws, but now i really like this, midnight is doing his best and he does it really well...
Yup. Some of my favorite songs/performances started like that: at first you´re hyper critical/only see the flaws as you say, and then over time you realize that the flaws don´t hold a candle to the power, passion, emotion, and rocking.

Not that easy to replace Midnight in his prime though(not here), the guy was in his own league really. It's sad that he's so criminally underrated. He had an unbelievable vocal range.
I had heard really but reviews about this performance especially for Midnight. Definitely not at his best but definitely quite good. The rest of the band simple slays
Ειμουν εκεινη την μερα,ηταν σαν ονειρο να περιμενεις να παιξει αυτη η μπανταρα ξανα ,και με υποσχεσεις για το μέλλον,ολοι σοβαροι επαγγελματίες και ο ανθρωπος που περιμεναμε ολοι να δουμε και να δοξάσουμε έκανε βολτες και τουρισμο,απογοήτευση και πραγματικά ενα κρίμα για ακομη εναν απιστευτο καλλιτέχνη που χάθηκε μεσα στην τρελα τον καταχρήσεων,rip
Ρε φιλε καταλαβαίνω την απογοήτευση σου,χάθηκε ο τρελός απ τ αλκοολ. Κρίμα αυτή η μπάντα άφησε 4 άλμπουμ και ειδικά τα δυο πρώτα αξίζουν ολόκληρη δισκογραφία άλλων υπερεκτιμημένων μπάντων
I was lucky enough to not only see them live after Transcendence was released in a small club in Tijuana 1989 but, I got to hang out with the band, (NOT Midnight), backstage. Never met Midnight, he came out, shredded up 5 songs and disappeared awfully quick. Great show, lousy fan interaction though. Oh well, I'm appreciative of the fact that I got to see them play live in their heyday. ✌
What an Amazing band.. Transcendence and Strange and Beautiful are Epic as is their first album... Midnight , I wish he had never been away from CRIMSON GLORY... Crimson Glory , Sanctuary , Savatage , Fates Warning , Lizzy Borden , Helloween , TNT , Pink Cream 69 , Nevermore , LeatherWolf , Manowar , Heir Apparent , Mercyful Fate , ? ? ? Geoff Tate , Midnight , Warrel Dane ... Some of My Favored Progressive Metal Bands.. Vocals and Musicians are ALL Baddasses... Any suggestions ?
Just one (in addiction to the fact that putting acts such as Manowar, Lizzy Borden and Savatage in the field of prgressiv metal is, to my ears, a mistake): Queensryche!!! I saw that you put the immense Geoff Tate in the list...but Queensryche weren't Geoff Tate alone: the remaining four were as necessary to their art as he was.
Try with SECRECY, JESTERS MARCH, OSIRIS, DYOXEN, TOXIK, HADES, ARTCH, SWORD.... and in other ways: LOUDNESS (Beyond 1988, they have a great discography)
I wonder the reason why they here performed with two drummers (that's something I have seen just twice in my quite long gig attendance list, and both of them were James Brown's concerts: we all know James Brown wasn't particularly....ehm, humble....). I saw Crimson Glory on stage back in their glory days, in Arnhem, the Netherlands, the night just b4 1989 Eindhoven's Dynamo Open Air festival, at the end of may. They performed with a single drummer and it was absolutely perfect, so I wonder what was their need for a second one.
+Nebelweiten The second drummer was there because he was their singer at that time. Midnight was there as a reunion, and the 2nd singer was a long time drummer in bands who later became a vocalist.
His power was there but yes alcohol doesn't help to keep it forever. And sadly he learned in the worst way. 😔🙏🏻 Rip midnight and great band Crimson Glory
the fact is that he died really soon after that show and his voice was really down :(...if you notice the beginning of the show he is on stage for unknown reasons while the others are still coming....
their debut album is still one of the greatest metal albums ever made...... pure masterpiece
True...
100% true. Perhaps one of the most underrated bands of all time

What was his name out of curiosity
Let me take a guess...Keith Menser?
@@williammanns9927 You are correct
Damn bro. I heard he passed away a couple of years back. RIP.
Do you remember the name of the club, I was a visitor quite a bit back then in Baltimore
Such a great band that should've been way more popular than they were, RIP Midnight.
Thank you for sharing this priceless footage of our most highly esteemed Florida band Crimson Glory!!!!
All Hail Midnight!!!!
Most definitly ..man what a voice ,,,went to school with/ and from home back yard...WOW!!
Yes, and let’s not forget the GREAT Jon Drenning!!
@@crusheverything4449 what happened to his voice and range he once had. Was it that oppressively hot on this day?
Tim Lansing - Probably just rust. Singing metal is kind of a use it or lose it proposition.
@@timlansing3513 He's far from his prime here sadly. Clearly a tortured soul, and died '09. He was up there with the greatest metal vocalists in his prime for sure though.
My favorite metal band of all times!
Great stuff! Thanks for sharing! Priceless!
Thanks for posting, great to see any footage of Midnight on stage!
I'd love to see good quality footage of Midnight in his prime, he was unbeatable in the beginning for sure!
@@patska78there are videos from 1987-89
Been going back to this often. At first I only saw the imperfections, now i see the perfection. RIP Midnight, amazing talent...

I just noticed in the beginning of the video the music is from a Steven King movie "Sleepwalkers"!
Does Crimson Glory have a song using that music?
"March to glory" from their album Astronomica. Thanks to your comment I will always think of Fugee's "Ready or not" from now on :P
That music in Sleepwalkers is(and the melody in the intro here is borrowed from) the song Boadicea from Enya, from her album "The Celts".
I wonder the reason why they here performed with two drummers (that's something I have seen just twice in my quite long gig attendance list, and both of them were James Brown's concerts: we all know James Brown wasn't particularly....ehm, humble....).

Does anyone know why they got two drummers?

Yeesh 😬😔
Why are there 2 drummers playing?
nice question...
Better question... Why is there someone who thinks they can sing better than Midnight polluting the soundtrack? Too much Ouzo?
+Nebelweiten
The second drummer was there because he was their singer at that time. Midnight was there as a reunion, and the 2nd singer was a long time drummer in bands who later became a vocalist.
Was the 2nd drummer/vocalist Todd LaTorre?
@@DNeu1083 Probably, as he's a drummer as well as a vocalist.
crimson glory is lizzy borden in disguise
very sharp and funny, intelligence is a blessing in....
What a shame ! Midnight looked like he had one foot on int the grave
& one on the ground!
Medianoche CG isn;'t the same with out you!
why two drummers?
They asked me and I couldn't refuse ;-) @~
he's reading floor lyrics...what a mess he was...drug and booze will eat you up...just listen and you'll see, so burnt cant remember his words

stop singing omg I can't hear the singer....
Ι was in this live.Even if i love Midnight's voice,in this live he was really disappointing.
My god he sounded horrible...what a shame
Mike Gorham this is what happens to a vocalists voice after years of drinking..
And i ain;t refering to water!

It was pretty bad, but the guy was in his mid forties. A voice like his isn't going to last forever.
Nah, the genius is still there to hear

Always hated when people sang. I went to hear them not you
Terrible vocals in this show! Loads of respect for Midnight, but this show here was really bad! :(
How awful sound! Midnight wasn't at his.... just OK even. Pitty...
Holy Moses...no In Dark Places or Lonely ... that makes this a solid B-
there is nothing awesome in this singing...:((((((((((

You do realize there was a guy in the audience singing really loud and you could barely actually hear him, but when you could it was amazing.
the fact is that he died really soon after that show and his voice was really down :(...if you notice the beginning of the show he is on stage for unknown reasons while the others are still coming....
After the show, Midnight was among the crowd, signing autographs.
You fool
