Geoff Tate "Silent Lucidity" Acoustic in San Antonio at The Eagle 106.7

[@Beemernow]

Legend has it, hes still holding that coffee....;)

[@WheelsofSteal]

How do you know it coffee?haha. He misses the other guys.

[@scambot_terminator8916]

thats not all he's holding, he took hold of the flame with hand on pocket rocket

[@dougortega3671]

Bwahahaha

[@TheBenjammin]

Yet another "legend has it" comment on you tube. Way to be original.

[@caroljahnke8263]

I thought that was hilarious.

[@MsLynn251]

Geoff Tate had and still has one of the very best, if not the best voice in metal, rock whatever you like to call it. Queensryche was one of the most underrated bands of the 80's-early 90's. They were awesome!! Absolutely AWESOME!!!!

[@wayne6777]

He’s singing an octave lower here - I’ve seen videos where he tried to hit those highs and failed. In his prime though? Wow. I seriously underestimated Queensryche. Absolutely fantastic.

[@saragalvan1159]

Totally agree

[@xkelo66x]

Geoff Tate and Bruce Dickinson are both beasts even today.

[@jibsripnflip]

No ONE could ever replace this voice.

[@PlayBetterSlots]

What a masterpiece of music and talent. 10/10.

[@constancepickens2759]

I Absolutely love Geoff Tate, HIS Vocal Capabilities Are AMAZING..

[@melymichu6731]

He has one of the most mesmerizing vocals ever sung in metal.

[@brenlane9847]

I'm going to love Geoff's vocals until the day I die. The dude still has a great range!

[@matthewbremner9485]

Give the man some reverb on that mic, sounds great though, looking like he’s on lunch and gotta get back to teaching his history classes 😂he rocked it 🤘🏻

[@kitoyobeni1]

That really surprised me as well; that vocal mic is totally dry (except for the occasional delay effect). Lesser singers would require an ocean of reverb to sound good, especially in such a stripped down performance.

[@powermetalawmetal4602]

Silent Lucidity.... a master piece of the great Chris DeGarmo

[@xxn0thing]

And suddenly I am a young man again. Thank you.

[@KellyP_]

💗❤️💗❤️

[@skulder]

Geoff Tate... what can i say? The good old times of the TRUE Queensryche band are unforgettable! This is the real voice!

[@YY-ei1gm]

He’s got no idea what his contribution to society is, his voice. His offering of his voice.

[@lunastwilights]

I'm sorry but Queensryche is not the band without you. 😔 You're the voice forever for them. Time to make amends❤️Your voice is in my top five forever😍

[@captaindeadeye788]

At the time of this recording, he is 59 years old. To have that voice still at his age is impressive. Truly one of the greats of metal, hell of music in general.

[@peterstclair9428]

Very underrated this song done like this reminds me of Roger Waters and Pink Floyd I’d never compare Queensryche to Pink Floyd but this…

[@NAlvazaz]

He was already in his 60s making this more impressive.

[@niko-zs6vv]

I'm watching you in my garage in Istanbul, with teardrops. You were always king of queensryche.

[@jordanfrankel-securityexpe3424]

Most underrated hard rock/metal band of all time.

[@shansmig408]

I wish Geoff Tate could know how much this song has touched my soul. It hurts me, heals me, haunts me. It truly is a song that my life has lived. LOVE LOVE LOVE this song.

[@0226lauren]

WOW, what a great acoustic version of this song. This band is so underrated, they are sooooo good. Geoff’s voice is still fantastic!!🍻

[@swinetrek]

Except that one of those guitars is out of tune, as is one of the backing voices.

[@zeljkostarcevic9881]

His voice is like a fine wine.Older it gets better it tastes

[@dimebrad2760]

Geoff is freaking killer. Hes back his voice sounds refreshed that's cool!

[@johnwheater4412]

I used to sing this song to my sons at bedtime. They are 16 and 18 now. They love song.

[@Tranquility32]

I was just thinking how lucky Geoff’s kids were to have him singing to them. (Well, I guess when he wasn’t touring!)… Your kids were lucky, too! ; ) Wishing you well!

Nothing would ever parallel to this masterpiece. Geoff Tate is amazingly best in his upper tempo of this song. I am a diehard fan.

[@jimkulstad6832]

Beautiful song, it was one of my sons favorites back in the nineties, brought me to tears because he was murdered last year! Geoff Tate has such an amazing voice, and as a musician myself, anyone who can sound great acoustically without digital enhancement, is the mark of a true professional!

My condolences on your loss, Jim. I hope this song brings back many a good memory of the time you had with him!

[@boycastro6676]

It doesn't matter how different style he did this song but this song is his song no one can ever stole it from him

Thanks again for a good night's sleep. My two year old daughter falls asleep to you. As soon as I sit her on my lap, she points at the TV and relaxes. I don't think she's ever made it to Silent Lucidity after Eyes and Jet City. Out like a light. Me, on the other hand, thanks for keeping me motivated and self-aware. We love you Geoff.

[@Our_creepy_adventures]

The piano playing in his pants along with holding that cup and singing.. Just wow. Plus his voice of course lol

[@cindywolfe7997]

I still have the Queensryche album from the 80s. Loved them then! Still listen to them. Geoff, you still got it. Amazing voice!!!

[@JarnoLauronen]

I never had them in the 80s. Found Queensrÿche in 99/00 but got them all now. Still class, and Geoff is better in this video then in years!

I actually don't miss his ex-band whatsoever. (Apart from Degarmo maybe. But he left more than 20 years ago anyway.)

Chills and tears

After all these years, and just pushing through a simple PA, no effects, and that good... that's a pro right there. And yea, DeGarmo is a freaking genius, love the guy, but Tate is a vocal legend and nothing can change that.

He is one of the few old legends (like Kiske for example) that retains his voice after all these years.

[@anonimorossoblu192]

Kiske Is much more younger than Tate!!

[@EpicWarDog]

Another thing I love about it is this fact. These are the brilliant bands I grew up on and here they are after all these decades still sounding amazing and doing what they do with all of their experience and experiences out shining and out performing the new bands of today. That's a fact, so for all if you haters out there think about that.

The writing can be amazing, but if you don't have the pipes to sing as angelic as Geoff then it doesn't even matter.

[@BilDenRacing]

@@akiraakai I don't knock Jeff's voice, he is without a doubt one of the best if not the best Live vocalist, but the song written with degarmo had the most substance then those written without him.

Hush now, don't you cry Wipe away the teardrop from your eye You're lying safe in bed It was all a bad dream Spinning in your head Your mind tricked you to feel the pain Of someone close to you leaving the game of life So here it is, another chance Wide awake you face the day Your dream is over... or has it just begun? There's a place I like to hide A doorway that I run through in the night Relax child, you were there But only didn't realize and you were scared It's a place where you will learn To face your fears, retrace the years And ride the whims of your mind Commanding in another world Suddenly you hear and see This magic new dimension I- will be watching over you I- am gonna help you see it through I- will protect you in the night I- am smiling next to you, in Silent Lucidity [spoken during solo] (Visualize your dream) (Record it in the present tense) (Put it into a permanent form) (If you persist in your efforts) (You can achieve dream control) (Dream control) (How are we feeling today, better??) (Dream control, dream control) (Help me) If you open your mind for me You won't rely on open eyes to see The walls you built within Come tumbling down, and a new world will begin Living twice at once you learn You're safe from pain in the dream domain A soul set free to fly A round trip journey in your head Master of illusion, can you realize Your dream's alive, you can be the guide but... I- will be watching over you I- am gonna help to see it through I- will protect you in the night I- am smiling next to you.... Hush now, don't you cry Wipe away the teardrop from your eye You're lying safe in bed It was all a bad dream Spinning in your head Your mind tricked you to feel the pain Of someone close to you leaving the game of life So here it is, another chance Wide awake you face the day Your dream is over... or has it just begun?

Perfection

[@the-dave-house-project]

Tate's voice has gotten deeper, which is natural... but I think his range has stood the test of time. He may have trouble hitting the old E5 in 'Take Hold of the Flame', but it sounds like he could now hit notes lower than he used to to compensate. The tone is just as rich as it used to be. Hear a lot of people saying he's not what he used to be, but that's not really fair. Most singers don't sound this good into their 60's.
