![First Reaction ~ Take Hold of the Flame ~ Queensrÿche - Live in Tokyo [1984/08/05]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/gxwS03jAOEY/mqdefault.jpg)
Still stands as one of the best live vocal performances of all time. Incredible. Especially considering he'd already been singing an hour before belting this out like it was nothing
And this wasn't last time he belts the sh*t out as this performance. There's some video/audio audicence recordings from '84-'87 where he kicks ass, my favourites (if someone wanna check them) are Detroit '84, Pittsburgh '85, Michigan '86 and Houston '86. Rock on!
@@benitokamelo252 that Pittsburgh show was insane. There's camcorder footage where Tate blows out the camcorder's mic with his E5 on Queen of Reich! He was otherworldly live th-cam.com/video/4G79hp7AnWc/w-d-xo.html
@@rbrebrook Imagine the power behind that E5. Insane
And all without voice technology. 🤘😎🤘
Its a touched up with the studio version...sorry to bust your bubble but go listen to studio version and this side by side. I love Queensryche...im a fan but its 99% the studio cut.
This band was absolutely amazing with Geoff Tate on vocals and Chris DeGarmo on lead guitar.
They were operating on a different level entirely. The original line up was incredible as they were all great musicians, but Tate and DeGarmo set them worlds apart from 95% of the other of that genre during that time. I was pretty young when I first heard them and I remember how it moved me, it was almost as though it changed my entire perception of what music could be.
I will never get tired of this stuff, for me it's absolutely timeless
@@kwantoon Amen to that! Their initial EP release blew my mind when I was in high school and I was instantly hooked. I actually knew Mike Stone in the mid 80's, who replaced DeGarmo on guitar eventually. But, the band was never the same. At least it's fun to tell friends that the guitarist of Queensryche installed a pickup in my guitar once : )
Eye of an eagle? Was that the one?
Gave me goose bumps. I think it was “eye of an eagle!”?
Not this song
No in-ear monitors..autotune.. backing tracks..100% talent...he was only 25 years old here. 😮
And don’t miss the fact, this was before auto tune and all the technology to record we have today. You couldn’t fake anything. These guys, like Rush sounded as good or better live than studio.
Shout out to Chris DeGarmo for being able to keep up with Geoff Tate vocals
It's amazing how he can transition his voice from lower to higher octaves. First 4 albums are awsome.
You should sit and listen to the Operation Mindcrime album in its entirety. It is a concept album that tells a story from start to finish. No bad songs on the entire album.
100%. A real concept album masterpiece, in the true sense of the word masterpiece.
Operation Mindcroiiiiiiiiiiimeeeee!
The only times I don't grin listening to Queensryche is crying in the later parts of O:MC
Can only add my support to this! :)
Incredible album. My favorite Queensryche album.
I agree
Geoff is so amazing. One of the greatest live performances I've ever seen. Powerful perfect vocals.
When did you get to see them? For me it was 1986 on their "Rage for Order" Tour. I was 16 and they were opening for Ozzy on his "Ultimate Sin" Tour
Geoff makes it look so easy because it was SO EASY FOR HIM. He was amazing. Him and Mike Patton make up two decades of unprecedent vocal talent.
When did you talk to him?
Patton?
Queensryche has a fiercely loyal fan base. I think you can see why. Their fans see the greatness.
Im so happy you reacted to this song! this is only the tip of the iceberg with Geoff. I HIGHLY recommend "Roads to Madness" (studio version) off the album "the Warning" by Queensrÿche, it is an INSANE performance and a masterpiece of a song.
@@down-the-rabbit-hole I agree completely. The album in general is a masterpiece. My favorite is either Roads to Madness or No sanctuary, but honestly I love every single song on the Warning. Not to mention the next few albums. Roads to Madness is probably my favorite if not one of my favorite Tate performances
Yes!!!
Geoff's finest vocal moment!
I completely agree with you about your recommendation.
Again Aileen, your appreciation of these bands like Queensryche, brings me(us) back to when these tunes were fresh and with such great live performances.
It feels so real and now again, as you show us your own love for these timeless, heartfelt productions.
It's so cool that a nearly forgotten video from the early 80s became one of the most popular reaction videos in 2022/2023. I loved these guys growing up.
That second E5 (there are three in the song) he hits at 7:12, is like a piece of magic. Probably never to be replicated again.
The dude is INHUMAN!!!
And that Good people is how we rolled in the 80's. 🙂
One of the best bands that I have ever seen live, the original band was second to none.
This was a special band back in the day. I was very fortunate to have seen this original line-up 3 times and each performance was great.
Me too, several shows back in the day and always an incredible performance by the whole band. One of the best.
I agree. I got to see them perform the entire Mindcrime Album live. Absolutely Amazing.
The Warning is one of their best albums
Their first 3 album ("The Warning", "Rage for Order", and "Operation Mindcrime") are all amazing, and easily their best 3 :)
Rage for Order is probably my fave.
Geoffs voice can be heard from space😊😊❤
also the incredible ethereal and beautiful guitar playing of chris degarmo at the beginning.
He was in his high belt for a majority of the song - impressive.
Cleanly hit 3 E5’s during the song and 2 of the 3 were sustained - impressive.
The ability to switch quickly from his chest to his head/mixed voice without any loss of tone quality - impressive.
Quite the performance and if you were lucky enough to see them live at some point you know they were the real deal.
I had the opportunity to see them on MTv Unplugged and he was the real deal. I’ve also seen relatively recent videos of him live with a group called Sweet Oblivion; and even at age 63 he can still belt out those notes like he’s ordering takeout.
And Chris DeGarmo killing it on backing vocals and guitar!
One of the things I love about Queensryche s the use of strong backing vocals. So few bands put backing vocals to work.
Aileen: Like a lullaby, almost.
Queensryche fans: Wait for it....
😀
Most bands can't even perform to this level in the studio. Geoff was just on an entirely different level for this performance.
What makes this song even better is when you see the lyrics its like his voice makes what he's saying mean much more
So effortless… looks like he just take a walk on the street… ❤
To listen to thr ryche in its purest form listen to the MTV unplugged session. Pick a tune from that session you can't go wrong. "Killing words",I WILL Remember, Scarborough Fair Etc.
Finally made it to the top of the mountain of 80's metal and one of Geoff's finest moments, basically any live performance was one of his finest moments lol
queenscryche everyone is in for a treat damn awesome
I loved Queensryche. I got a chance to see them live a few times and it always amazed me how close to their records they sound live! Geoff was amazing! You're amazing as well!
🤘🔥
Geoff was too good in his younger days. So much so that people these days hold him to an impossible standard. His younger self. The guy was around 24/25 when this was shot. He's 64 this year. He's definitely still got it and is a vocal force to be reckoned with, but he's also not 24 anymore. Male voices deepen/get richer as we age. Back then he was delivering a studio perfect vocal performance. These days his performances of those songs are far from studio perfect, but they're damn close enough on a good day.
His attitude killed him , not his aging voice .
Queen of the Ryche/Lady wore black/ The whisper/Walk in the Shadows/The needle lies/Breaking the silence. I could go on and on
Honestly, any Queensrych song from the original line up, won't disappoint.
One word ........Epic ..........just totally epic of a performance, epic vocalist , epic writing, epic drums , epic guitars , and its live !!
They ARE one of the greatest metal bands to ever exist.
The high notes he does are all E5s
I don't think iv ever seen u smile so much during a reaction lol 😆 🤘
This was their encore. Unbelievable energy and powerful musicianship.
Geoff has a legendary voice having been joined by opera singers and being opera trained himself, he is unmatched in range especially in the metal genre. As prominent as they were, queesryche was very underrated. Definitely my all time favorite metal band! love everything they've ever done! great reaction!
Geoff Tate will go down in history as one of the most talented vocalists ever!! The fact that you said his voice is liquid gold means that you are in my circle of music love. I feel like he never truly received the respect he deserved!!
Great reaction...Take a look at their song "Lady Wore Black".
You'll be stoked
I still have a hard time believing this is a legit performance, I know it is, but it’s so damn perfect I’m left incredulous every time.
Favorite band of all time. They are musically perfect. I really miss the original lineup.
This was ‘84. He (Geoff) was/is amazing and the band, as well.
I think they were in their early twenties back then. This entire album is amazing. I recommend "NM 156".
And it's LIVE...this is the GREATEST band of all time, especially with this line-up and yes I screamed it🤘
And I'll scream it with you -- GREATEST!!!
Glad you got to discover this, it's one of my all-time favourite performances, ever. Geoff Tate at his ultimate vocal peak powers. Would you consider reacting to Gary Moore and his tracks 'Still Got The Blues For You' (Live!) and/or his live performance of 'Empty Rooms - Live in Stockholm 1987.' I feel you'd really love these also.
So glad you recommend the GOD Gary Moore............simply a genius.
As someone who appreciates Geoff Tate's vocal range, I believe you would very much enjoy listening to Queensryche's cover of "Scarborough Fair" (electric version, not acoustic)
Yay! Was hoping you'd do this song and this version.
Saw them opening up for Metallica in 88 and when this song came up the crowd went nuts with the singing.
Me too, I was there for Metallica And Justice for All in Atlanta but came away a huge Queensryche fan to this day.
Same here. I seen them opening for Metallica and my neighbor played them but everytime I went to visit he shut it off like a hidden secret he kept from me. I was blown away when I seen them. As a huge Metallica fan I thought Queensryche blew them out the water. Just my opinion though..
Another absolutely spot on and incredibly honest review Aileen!
This song is 39 years old and your reaction to it is priceless!
Thank you for the smile you leave on our faces.
This is the video that drives all the vocal coach reactors nuts. The baritone that sings most of the song in the 5th octave.
Other Queensryche songs? I’m not such which ones have good videos, but I can suggest Empire, The Real World, I Don’t Believe In Love, Anybody Listening?, Spreading The Disease, I Will Remember, No Sanctuary.
geoff tate's vocal range back in the day was mad crazy he also be operatically trained
When i first heard geoff i thought, now thats a fawkin singer....wow. queensryche is so special.
Some of my favorites:
"ANYBODY LISTENING?"
"ONE MORE TIME"
"ROADS TO MADNESS"
"ANOTHER RAINY NIGHT"
"BREAKING THE SILENCE"
"REAL WORLD"
"JET CITY WOMAN"
"THE THIN LINE"
"I DREAM IN INFRARED"
"WALK IN THE SHADOWS"
"CHILD OF FIRE"
"THE MISSION"
To name only a few. 😜
Another perfect comment…”Head empty. Just Queensryche.”
Yep…they can do do that to ya at times.
Aileen I knew you would love this live version of take hold of the flame ..this man’s vocal range was awesome ..
Queensrych always sounded better live than their CDs did
I’ve been a Queensryche fan from the very beginning, and it gives me great joy to watch someone who’s never heard them before and absolutely loving it! 🤘😎🤘
I could not count the times I watched the VHS of this concert back in the day. Awesome stuff.
In the 80s Queensryche were untouchable. My very first introduction to them was a song called "Queen of the Reich" on MTV (it came out before this one by a few years) which is one of their songs that's straight up 100 percent Power Metal and my vote for THE most 80s metal music video of all time. I instantly fell in love with them then and that love for them has not diminished one bit in 40 years.
Very nice. Thanks 👍
Yeeeeees that's Queensryche 💯 you gotta check out The Lady wore Black or Queen of the Riech live from this concert. Simply perfection 👌
Eargasmic ain't it? I've seen vocal coach reactions to this song and it's a thrill to watch them lose their crap when he goes to that high register. So glad they got this on video back in the day.
Love the Batgirl headphones.
Thx so much. You're joy, vulnerabilty, and authenticity in you're reaction, gave me the same feelings you expressed.
This was their first tour. Anything from the e.p. through Empire is Gold
Saw that tour live and it was ear piercing hearing that song live.
🤘😝🤘my first concert was these guys in 87. Yes he sounded the same live and in the studio.
Check out the studio version of "I Dream in Infrared" from "Rage for Order." While you're there, check out all of "Rage for Order." One of their best albums.
One of the best albums of the 80's - period.
This was from their concert in Tokyo 1984 & this was the encore. They were only in their early 20's
Happy you choose this one..
As said when I mentioned it in your other Queensrÿche video.
Its not just one of the best Queensrÿche performances.
But its just one of those videos you have to see on YT. Song it self is fire. its very old but still very much works. And those vocals..
This song really makes one deep dive into Queensrÿche, and the other amazing songs keeps you hooked.
What a doll. This girl is absolutely Gorgeous.
I miss these days, i saw them in concert, those experiences live within me forever! They were awesome! It is hard to describe it, it was mind blowing, Unforgettable, hair standing, lost my voice screaming the words with him, jumping with excitement!!!! A Rollercoaster for sure. Hang on for the ride baby. 😊❤❤❤
Thank you so much for this long awaited reaction 🥰
Great reaction on this awesome song as always! Lady wore black is another gem. Happy 2023 to you and your loved ones ❤
I just saw him in Memphis Tennessee and YES he is still great.
Beyond epic! All time Hall Of Fame Queensryche 🤘🤘
Finally some real music. 😜 No seriously, this is an epic performance and Queensrÿche rules!
Really iron maiden, Metallica, early Judas priest not real music. To me your statement says not a real music fan.
@@down-the-rabbit-hole he was amazing, I'll give you that. But Rob Halford and Bruce Dickinson our metal gods not to mention the third one on the podium Ronnie James Dio,
@@kurtsaxton823 Well I don't really give a 💩 because not only am I music fan, objectively by definition (aka whether you agree or not) but I'm also a full-time working musician. Feels good man.
That "Metal"....raw REAL Talent and has BALLS.
TOTALLY PUTS HIP HOP/ RAP TO SHAME
Queensryche is still one of my all time favorites. Seen them a few times live back in the day. 💯 First 5 albums are fantastic.
I just checked your channel out dude 😃 your awesome! lol My type of humor for sure. I'm off to check out more of your videos. I love Queensrche as well, seen them on the Empire tour 🤘
Best "LIVE" i all off time !!!! Sooo good °!° Love it !
It's called perfection
Saw them on this tour (American leg of tour) yup I am old lol. Thank you for this. I have shared this with anyone that would watch :)
I saw Queensryche in August of 1983 in Houston...QUEEN OF THE RYCHE TOUR👍👍 I saw this tour also... Opening for KISS... then on the Mindcrime tour last time.
Exactly. your reaction. 😁
This is why we always said.... METAL RULES 🤘
So glad you reacted to this song. I saw them as the opening act to Dio in the UK and the same year (1984 ) this concert was filmed. I have been a massive Queensryche fan ever since.
Everything you said about Queensryche, their music, the tightness of the band and each member, Geoff's VOCALS, and your response to them, is EXACTLY the way I've been feeling about them for the last 3+ decades!!
I still smile every time I hear this song. Ear to ear.
You are having a visceral response to their particular brand of musical alchemy! I love songs that make me FEEL something -- and THEIR songs do!
Don't stop now!
Another good one (and there are so many) is
"The Killing Words" from MTV's Unplugged 1992.
Also, for another high energy one, "Speak" is good! It's from the concept album, "Operation: Mindcrime" which is one long story. So you won't get the full meaning of the lyrics unless you listen to the whole album. Still, it's a great song with vocals in both the high and low ranges.
I loved your excitement about this song! And yes, they weren't about showing off or grandstanding. They were about making good songs!
P.S. Yes, they were young in this one. Geoff was about 25, and the others were about 20!
"Finger-licking good". Oh YEAH!
GREAT reaction! I had the privelege of seeing this tour live at L'Amour rock club in Brooklyn way back in the day. It still remains one of the best live rock performances i've ever seen! Geoff Tate is not of this earth!
Superb band superb performance.
This song was part of their encore this night. You talk about energy & passion, this 13th song on this night is a great example
The song "Roads To Madness" from this same concert is equally as amazing.
This really showcases Geoff Tate's voice.
And to think this was the encore!! Geoff had been belting out songs for two hours before this! Saw them three times on different occasions in London and each time they were AMAZING. Great reaction 👍👍
He had sang for over an hour when he did this song incredible
I saw them live 3 times in my teenage years and once in my late twenties and Everytime take hold of the flame was the last song which blew me away because he had gotten better towards the end of their set which was an hour and half sometimes two hours
That's nuts lol
Even more amazing that this was an encore after a night of singing....
Awesome reaction to my favorite vocalist of all time! You rock.
Such an underrated group and Geoff is my male Floor Hansen, haha
You get it, kudos, thank you
