Geoff Tate Seahawks National Anthem

[@gunnerzane5230]

Geoff Tate was untouchable in his prime.

[@smccorrison]

He could sing twinkle twinkle little star and make it a hit!! The man is a living legend!! G.O.A.T.

[@matthewrosengren2813]

That’s how the national anthem SHOULD be sung. Absolutely fantastic!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@paulluongo2756]

Totally agree

[@DianaTPascal]

I don't believe I've ever seen anyone sing the Anthem so effortlessly. Everyone was screaming as the song built up, and he was like "whatever.." so wonderful!!

[@kenzerh]

I took my son to that game. I remember this. It was amazing.

[@chrisgoulding9306]

I was there too bro, my only NFL game

[@stevec.1466]

By far the best version of our national anthem. !

[@wuchak55]

The ending where he gets real high and holds the note give you goosebumbs -- awesome!

[@brendaminchew]

Most beautiful I’ve ever heard it sung. What an incredible voice and talent still to this day!!

[@hawkhandsaw]

Not many singers can pull this off acapella. Geoff is one of the few who sounds just as good without any backup-the mark of a truly great singer. This is my favorite rendition of this powerful song. Bravo!

[@penhold13]

I just want to say thanx to everybody for enjoying my video of Geoff so much. He is my friend and an amazing artist. This is the time for you to stand up for him. and say "No Geoff Tate No Queensryche" Thank you again everybody.

[@patches6309]

Please tell Geoff I just saw & heard this video for the very first time. This Combat Veteran salutes Geoff Tate and thanks him for a great performance of my favorite song. Many of my friends were wounded & I lost half a dozen friends in Iraq. This brought a smile & a small tear to my eye.

[@hectorrivera2592]

Tell Mr. Geoff that he perfectly sang the already perfect National Anthem, and that I hope one day i have the chance to meet him and thank him personally for everything he portrayed in his songs while in Queensryche.

[@purplekat5864]

I'm seeing this video for the first time 10 years after you posted it. I agree, that without Geoff, Queensryche just isn't QR! Chris's departure was a devastating blow too! Together, the five original members had a truly MAGICAL musical alchemy. I'm SO sad that they split up! I have nothing against Todd, but I CAN'T (and don't) listen to him singing any songs that Geoff sang. It just hurts me to hear the replacement singer singing Geoff''s songs. I was in the fan club and got to meet the guys several times. They were really good to us fans with meet and greets and fan club events etc. Once I brought a rather large and unwieldy collage I made to a fan event in Seattle right after the release of "Promised Land". I had a hard time getting the thing onto the plane. At the event I was able to have them all sign it, but Geoff in particular took his time looking it over, and I really appreciated that! All of them were always very nice and down to earth with us. It meant a lot! I'm happy that Geoff has made peace with the situation and is thriving with the various projects he's involved with. You're lucky to be his friend! And I'll bet that's vica versa too. 😝

[@axekicker78]

Could never get over his 5 octave range WITH vibrato all the way. Nobody could touch him back in the day.

[@CriticalRoleHighlights]

Especially not for such a naturally deep baritone.

[@brownholecharles]

cough cough.. Michael Kiske of Helloween,

[@benitokamelo252]

@@brownholecharles Kiske is awesome but his lower register is weak compared to Tate, this last can sing much lower. Anyway, did u know that Tate was Kiske biggest influence? He talked about that in an interview years ago, he said he was the best even better than Dickinson. No joking.

[@brownholecharles]

@@benitokamelo252 i agree.. Tate was\is superior singer. Maybe one of the best talents since Freddie Mercury.

[@andrejz8954]

@@brownholecharles What about RJD

[@rick9977015]

I have always believed that our Anthem is fine the way it is. Hearing someone who actually knows how to sing makes it excellent. Many try to overdo it and just ruins the entire performance. Geoff did a perfect job on it. Its got his FLAIR, he didn't try to VIBRATO the whole thing and he didn't extend the lines too far. Just enough to make it his own. Very nice job

[@rickie5150]

GEOFF TATE IS F'ING AWESOME !!! I have always been amazed by his talent and vocal ability !!!!

[@kendavid891]

Great to have lived in the 80s,with this legend Geoff Tate. I was smitten by his vocals since '82!

[@mb2453]

The stadium is still vibrating after that vibrato in the end. This is unreal stuff.

[@Dan-qm7ho]

Wow! This guy sang this song so simply and with a solid sound all the way through..... So beautiful. God Bless America..🤩

[@gotmonkeyfinger]

best vocal of all time. or at least my time. truly the master.

[@davino108]

I don't think I've ever heard a performance like this when the audience is already applauding before the song even was over I don't think that's ever happened that was a great performance that's the way it should be sung all natural and no auto tune.. and you know who you are

[@AnthonyT50]

I love how he sang it straight through without a bunch of rolling notes. Its a pretty song if its sung properly and it takes a pretty good voice to pull it off.

[@commonsense5875]

One of the greatest singers ever! His dad is a Veteran too✌

[@mbapache64]

Never knew he did that...outstanding!

[@islesnd]

Love it incredible range, pitch, tone and he sang it the way it goes!!!

[@paulluongo2756]

Thanks for recording and posting this.... I would never have known about this... Geoff is one of my favorites...

[@christiorca4432]

Just love his voice! Geoff rocks!!!!❤

[@drcossackPA]

Absolutely amazing. Geoff = awesome. Gave me goosebumps listening to him do it.

[@avdad2000]

Just when I thought Tate had shredded everything, I hear him do this song. He's truly awesome!

[@rycherman1]

Man, I get chills listening to this!

[@j800r]

...the old days. I came in at Promised Land. The thing that attracted me? The vocals. There is way more to Geoff's voice than just range. There's a unique timbre to it. Something insanely magical about his tone that no one else can truly touch upon. Also, in the old school albums the parts I found most beautiful were when he dropped out of the top octaves and sung softly. Magical. Bruce is a low tenor. His voice is naturally high compared to a barritone like Geoff.

[@Mad9977]

you need to check out Operation Mindcrime, it's a milestone in progressive Metal and vocals =)

[@jasonrobison650]

Yes exactly!!!!!

[@purplekat5864]

I agree with everything you said!! Geoff's voice, and all the colors he creates with tone, expression, power, intensity, vibrato, range, timbre, and absolute control IS truly MAGICAL! I became aware of them during the release of "Empire". "Anybody Listening?" was my first time hearing/seeing them. I was blown away! All the elements I was looking for in a song were there! I went back through their catalogue from there and was amazed to have found such a TALENTED and consistently excellent band that really spoke to me! EACH band member, but especially Geoff!

[@the-dave-house-project]

@@Mad9977 Let's be honest. Everything before Promised Land is better than Promised Land. Lol.

[@penhold13]

Wow another person that likes to live life through the press. I knows Geoff and his family they are nice group of people. Geoff has nothing but respect for his fans. A few years ago I introduced Geoff to a friend of mine that was dying from Aids. She was the mother of 2 kids. He talked to her for over a half back stage about her kids and family. So before you judge this man get to know him first.

[@maniacmike6376]

@Russ Richard I went through problems back in the 90s and hearing Geoff sing made things bearable. I love the song Silent Lucidity and I always said that Geoff Tate seems like a nice guy. Geoff is Queensryche now and always.

[@diegodz7510]

Tate was number 1 hands down

[@GJones462-2W1]

That's gotta be a career highlight for any singer to be asked to do that. To me, that's quite an honor. Geoff's amazing.

[@simplelife1966]

This is classic Geoff Tate,Untouchable,He will go down in Music History as one of the best.

[@slamberton76]

favorite of many. matched by few. Thank you Mr. Tate!!!

[@scottmcinturff8204]

Matched by none (my opinion)

[@islesnd]

Greatest voice in rock! Love it!

[@pegasusmum]

I felt goosebumps... his voice soars!

[@ruthwhittingham4]

Geoff is a vocal master

[@michaeldavidson5250]

Now that is how you sing a national anthem. That sounded amazing.

[@supertrippfan]

just amazing...what a quality voice & incredible control. It does give u goosebumps.

[@cagewarrior123]

who ever said goeff has lost a couple steps in voice are dead wrong, this proves he still has that magical voice

[@avocate201]

What an amazing voice he has. His range is phenomenal. He hits all the high notes, but his voice is incredibly rich and soothing. It's operatic and metal at the same time.

[@champmarly7665]

The best rendition ever

[@williamkelton842]

Best version I have heard in quite some time. God Bless America

[@Ovalbugmann]

A very good rendition of the National Anthem - much better than most singers of this song - Geoff holds those extended notes and sings at a high enough octave to make it sound really great and give this classic the right feel, the deep meaning of its grand words. Yeah Geoff Tate - very nice man! ;-)

[@omnadrener1]

Imagine Tate from 80s

[@nomesobrenome4092]

he would've sing an octave higher

[@omnadrener1]

Not only that but with more projection power and better tone by light years

[@chrisnoren777]

I wish he still had it. I wish.

[@omnadrener1]

I know Chris

[@bigtommy9715]

07 Tate still had a ton of range He was still hitting high high notes on occasion

[@nicholasbrown4109]

This is the best male version I have ever heard. Best female is probably Whitney Houston

[@JonathonTheAsshole]

Any whore on the Vegas strip or American Idol could do a "female version" of the national anthem. Geoff Tate is a living god. To say a drug crazed moaning whore could be his equal is...well...insulting.

[@patriciagaudette622]

He is AWESOME. ❤

[@PokeguySR]

I was behind the stage at Lakewood Amphitheatre in 1995 for the Promised Land concert and listened to sound check. His voice was all you could hear. It was amazing. I was also front row center at the show that night. He sounded amazing. Every bit as good as he does on the albums. Perhaps Coldmystery just happened to see him when he was a little off.

[@DanielByrns]

That was amazing!!

[@RexVonDemon]

[@Bjarkisim]

[@markaruski]

immediately after this, Tate busted out into 'Walk in the Shadows"

[@ladystrange4769]

Beautiful!!!!!!!! Always!

[@thedoglover4ever]

Wow, i never thought that i'd see that, Geoff did an awesome job

[@acidarrow]

Great performance, you can hear the audience really came alive when he started hitting the high notes. I'd laugh if he would have kicked in to Queen of the Ryche afterwards!

geoff tate is my idol...the best voice ever

[@stephenmcenaney7537]

PERFECT JOB!!

[@Formulabruce]

Think , before you speak. That place is not the best acoustically, and to stay on pitch you need to actually hear yourself, not an "echo". Sound changes pitch as it travels through air. Ever see speakers on the floor that actually face a band? Some may use an earpiece now on stage. To sing in a place like that, or many open places, you often have to sing sharp to end up making it sound right. I am sure they did a mic check, tapped it and said here, sing. He did excellent considering.

[@frios011]

THAT GUY CAN SING!!!

[@Queens9999]

Great job Geoff

[@rukus100821]

this is awesome and there is no comparison.

[@biffbifford402]

Wow. Crowd was so jacked at his performance they drowned him out earlier than I’ve ever seen done before. Well before the end of the anthem.
