[@kikivon3501]

The amazing thing about this performance is it’s an encore!!!!! He was able to sing at this level after a full concert!!!!! Unreal

[@zazz69ed]

i guess this will blow your mind then...wasnt an encore persay.. but it was the end of the second set of the day of that festival.... they had already played the full set a few hours earlier.. .. ...regardless of what every one believes and what is fact..we can all agree geoff was a vocal beast of 5 octaves and no other male vocalist of the times could touch him...

[@gregmullins6927]

That's amazing knowing that!!!!

[@rsb1090]

I personally think he was the very best in the business at that time. He should have been called Mr. Control, he also has the ability to tell a story in a song, the best Geoff Tate

[@jonlate4581]

And the fact that Chris DeGarmo is actually harmonizing with him is pretty insane.

[@m.ericwatson968]

Geoff and DeGarmo had an incredible chemistry

[@davidputterman2719]

Geoff Tarte's vocal coach was the late Maestro David P. Kyle of Seattle who also coached Layne Staley of Alice in Chains, and Ann Wilson of Heart. And now you know the rest of the story!

[@michaeldinsen7641]

Master David....good lord....what a group of vocalists to have trained

[@kevincopelan5334]

Thank you Paul Harvey

[@WineSippingCowboy]

Add. Late Chris Cornell, RIP.

[@zazz69ed]

LOL he had some lessons and geoff even talks about the fact everyone states he trained long term with him... for some reason this little known fact goes unnoticed is that his grandmother also trained him and she was a classically trained opera singer also... he went to pyle for some finishing and smoothing of his technique... it is weird where everyone gets their info yet he is in tons of interviews talking all about it...i guess it is the fact they want to link local legends with another local legend.. shrugs

[@m.ericwatson968]

did not know that, very cool, thanks!

[@sjeverett75]

Chris said in a 1991 interview the song was written about people who have missed opportunities in life. Geoff's voice is insane. I only got to see them live once, but their performance of Eyes of a Stranger left me speechless. I just sat there quietly in awe of what I had just experienced.

[@Thedesertguy75]

Some people say its the most perfect E5 ever shaped and sung....live. Geoff is a rare breed of a true singer that ive ever heard. Legend.

[@kathleenandbruce]

One of the best live bands of all time! Saw them during the Empire tour. They did the whole Operation Mind Crime album and all of Empire. Plus many other hits. Well over 2 hours of live perfection. They were the band of the 80's and 90's and into the 2000's.

[@nitro_001newman2]

Did Geoff hit the layup In basketball for “Best I Can?”

[@haroldjones8023]

Definitely one of the best live bands

[@wgarlin688]

I was lucky enough to see them @ Day on the green. Faith no more, Soundgarden, Queensryche, and Metallica it was the best concert(s) I ever went to.

[@stevenphilpott1493]

same hear,Mind Crime tour was awesome

[@dragonlea13]

I was blessed to see the Empire/Mindcrime tour twice, and to see them perform Mindcrime in its entirety 2 more times, the last time in a small theater in Portland OR with Pamela Moore, and they performed it In character with other actors, it was absolutely epic!!! Those were without doubt of the literally hundreds and hundreds of concerts I have seen, with all the greats, the very, very best. Operation Mindcrime is my favorite album of all time.

[@DonaldandGina]

So far, I haven't seen anyone point out that Tate is NOT a tenor, but mainly a baritone! He hit the E5 with perfect pitch! Stunning!

[@davidmel2158]

Geoff in his prime ….. untouchable.

[@TheBoondoggler]

Tate is a once in a lifetime talent; one of if not arguably the best metal/rock vocalist. Dio, Halford, Gillan and Dickinson are among my faves but Geoff is next fking level.

[@Fred_Lougee]

Great of you to put Ian in with RJ, Rob, and Bruce. For some reason he doesn't get much of the respect he's due from a lot of the classic hard rock/metal fans. I see you are a man of culture as well. Further, I would add Coverdale and Rogers to that group when listing mine. Oh, and Plant is on his own damned planet, but it's a completely different one from the one Tate owns because they are radically different vocalists.

[@m.ericwatson968]

Geoff is almost too over the top, like he finds the absolute edge of perfection meets absurdity in rock/metal vocalization, the notes he hits are ridiculous, so damn good!

[@metalmami7862]

He is better than all of them please stop

[@therealcyber5]

absolutely@@metalmami7862

[@Thedesertguy75]

Agreed, I love Bruce and others, but Geoff stands alone. He just does.

[@CherylPhillips-m8z]

I have listened to this man for 35 years, since I was 12. My musical tastes have evolved so much, but Queensryche is still a daily constant for me. Geoff still sounds amazing live. He's 64 years old and he still gives me chills.

[@russellward4624]

Geoff's ability to stay in tune is crazy and this is way before in ears. So he's got the reverb of the band and his voice coming back at him.

[@Voldrani]

His overtone on that high note after the solo is like a crystal

[@dennypayne]

Geoff Tate never fails to give me chills, but I feel like everybody sleeps on Chris DeGarmo harmonizing with a lot of this, too.

[@ramondwilliam1307]

Yeah DeGarmo is super talented, and compliments Geoff so well.

[@stephenpetrovich2383]

what would be cool is if someone reacted to the one song Chris sang lead vocals on....I believe its called All I want.

[@ramondwilliam1307]

@Stephen Petrovich Would love to see that to.

[@allengator1914]

You need to listen to the entire "Operation Mindcrime" concept album. Queensryche and Geoff Tate at their absolute best!

[@Keith_KC8TCQ]

the Operation Livecrime DVD/Concert is an absolute must

[@dragonlea13]

My favorite album of all time. Saw them perform it in it’s entirety 4 times, the last time in a small theater in Portland OR with Pamela Moore, it was epic!!!

[@3364dean]

yes Operation Mindcrime/Operation Livecrime is a must listen to from start to finish, no skipping. because of the concept of the album, it tells a story from first note to the last in order. it is a feast for the ears that no other band has yet to copy!

[@Keith_KC8TCQ]

@@3364dean yep with clues both in the song lyrics themselves, and the sound bites between songs

[@TheMarine9312]

Operation Mindcrime is one of my favorite albums but Rage For Order is probably my favorite.

[@goldenruletv7301]

This band deserves a deep dive. Their first 5 albums are all fantastic.

[@kevinnazario1015]

There are many videos of people trying to sing this song as Geoff did . Some are close. But not of them are moving on a stage. They are all standing in front of the mike. There are many videos of Geoff singing this live exactly as in this classic clip. I am still waiting to see someone hitting the high notes wuth such energy and control after a whole set. This song is metal excellence. The very definition of art.

[@grumpypotamus7143]

Queensryche has been one of my favorites since the 80s. You should definitely check out more of their work, Geoff has an amazing voice and they were incorporating much more intricate bass lines and instrumental lines before most others.

[@alfredmeador5253]

Eyes of a stranger is another good one

[@erwinamesz7642]

You have got to do the Suite Sister Mary song by Queensryche. The video is fantastic and also Geoffs female counterpart is GREAT!!!

[@leemiracle6840]

Shout out to DeGarmo for those backing harmonies!

[@stevewothers4209]

Crazy I've actually heard his voice called an operatic growl in an interview

[@ericwagner2997]

There version of Scarborough Fair is one of my favorite vocal performances by him. Not sure if there is a live version out there but on the studio version, he hits a register i the 3rd verse that is amazing. I saw Queensryche on this tour back in 84 and they were amazing.

[@34rdiaz]

Loved that I have the acoustic session of him doing that song too..

[@ToddHLHG]

I saw Queensryche in concert in the early 90's ...THEY ARE AMAZING!! Geoff is one the best rock vocalist! one of my all time FAVS.

[@lisaldeene]

Geoff has to be one of the all time greats! And this band, in its original lineup, was a powerhouse! They're fragmented a bit now, but individually, still great!

[@playbassken]

This is probably one of the best vocal performances I've ever heard and saw Queensryche many times with Geoff Tate, as well as recent shows since he's gone solo, and he continues to impress. Glad you finally gave this one a listen.

[@WendyHalen64]

Hi Maggie! Thank you for reacting and explaining whats all involved with the whole voice training. You make it fun to learn! So glad you did Queensryche-one of my favorites! ❤

[@henrikharbin5521]

Hi, Maggie :) Just found this video. Geoff is great; it's too bad that they felt they had to kick him out. Two songs that really show off his range: "I Will Remember from Rage for Order and " Suite: Sister Mary" from Operation: Mindcrime".

[@CausticEmissions]

Geoff in his prime was/ remains unmatched!

[@casadeblakester]

You now have discovered probably the best metal song ever performed on the planet to this date. Nice review.

[@dvsdad1300]

Truth

[@jamie4993]

Discovered Queensryche when The Warning was released. Have seen them maybe a dozen times over the years. Geoff was just an incredible voice of the era.

[@wgarlin688]

I still listen to mindcrime all the time. It’s my go to for 80s nostalgia. You have to listen to the entire album start to finish to really appreciate it.

[@JollyRodger-q9w]

Absolutely agree! The entire story is unparalleled.

[@kevinkundert7275]

Lady wore black is another banger

[@kevinkundert7275]

My favorite

[@dragonlea13]

If you really want to be amazed by the notes Geoff can hit, “The lady wore black”, and “Queen of the Reich “ are absolute musts!! Geoff was untouchable in the 80’s and early 90’s. One of the best bands of that era without any doubt!

[@srt8turboawdjeep146]

Roads to Madness

[@christopherlane5238]

Without a single doubt, 100% correct. 110%, even.

[@mermaid_at_heart213]

I'm so glad that I saw them live in the mid-80's several times. That line-up was amazing and Geoff was incredible!

[@michaelschumacher626]

Most underrated band of all time!!!! I've been listening to these guys since the 80s and still appreciate and love their music. There is absolutely no other band that I can say that about. It's a shame that more people didn't tap into this band.

I really love it when respected vocal coaches discover Queensryche. "Metal" tends to get dismissed to the sidelines but there are many subgenres. For a change of pace, please react to: Queensryche Unplugged Live - "I Will Remember". You'll see that this man can sing anything.

[@dominickmcveigh7282]

Please 🙏 play more queensryche

[@ericl1166]

Love your reaction to this!

[@poedottaviano6924]

I started listening to rock and metal since 1970 (6 yrs old), and until the late 90's there was very few bands i never heard in full. Rock and Metal music from the 70's and 80's will never be matched..ever. The depth of lyrics as in the entire Operation Mindcrime album and songs like Diary of a Madman, and of course the we first side of 2112, will never be matched again. We all know the guitar Gods feom that era..with each having unique voices and soul, also singers like Mr. Tate gave the songa the talented and memorable voices, we will never hear again. Maybe I'm just getting old and living in the past?. But in past 25 years or so, there just is no real originality anymore. Damn, i wish those days never ended...

[@metalmark1214]

This live performance does a good job of showcasing Geoff Tate's vocal ability.

[@harryburnett7086]

❤

[@sean_b_drummer]

"Snarl" is also known as, Twang. 👍🏽😁

[@RandomAxeOfKindness]

Tate's voice is partly so strong because however the heck he makes that general unbreathy vocal tone, the 'snarl' mix has REALLY strong overtones. When he hits that high note, you can hear three separate tones if you listen carefully, especially as he fades out a bit. I think that's why you're hearing the initial separation. The top tone might even be considered a whistle range sound. It's crazy, and I have no idea how much is technique and how much is just his natural singing voice, but I also have no idea how it can be replicated. Some of it is coming from really high and far back in his throat / sinus area. It's often easier to make a two-tone throat-and-whistle sound unvoiced (while sort of whispering really hard), but while belting it out like that? Crazy.

[@philstone3859]

Geoff is ELVIS! QUEENSRYCHE is one of the very best bands you will ever hear. Geoff is a badass singer! Saw them in concert 21 times from their first tour on up! Excellent, super clean, live band. Always delivered big time! Operation Mindcrime is a concept album masterpiece that you have to listen to completely uninterrupted, start to finish like you watch a really good movie, because that’s what it is, only audibly. Set aside some time by yourself to do it right. Have the lyrics in front of you so you can follow the story. It’s recognized as one of the greatest concept albums of all time. Probably second only to PINK FLOYD’S The Wall record.

[@OrlandoMarrero]

React to the complete Masterpiece concept album Operation LIVECRIME ( yes ,Live Version )..for me, the best concept album all genres Ever !!!!!

[@dragonlea13]

I agree with everything you said, except Mindcrime being second to the Wall. I don’t think so!!! Operation Mindcrime is the best album of all time!!

[@Joel-gh3qn]

[@sportsmom165]

This was the last or next to last song of the concert too. Chris DeGarmo never gets enough credit for his vocals backing Geoff. For a different spectrum of Geoff's voice, you need to listen to Silent Lucidity.

[@mattgraham2835]

geoff tate has a powerful range wow holy progressive heavy metal ladies & gentlemen

[@petersvox9762]

At my first ever opera vocal lesson, I brought this song to my coach and said I wanted to learn his techniques. She said, "That's not gonna happen for you". I tried on my own and could really only keep up in his lower registers. I soon learned that my voice is more like Layne Staley and when I'm in good vocal shape , I can nail Man in the Box, and it feels absolutely amazing when I do it.

[@kotogray8335]

Queensryche will always be one of my favorite metal bands. Their abilities as a band only grew with each album and reached a perfection not many have obtained. But sadly they reached a point where they were unable to agree on where to take the band after huge success and they fell apart. I guess that happens with most bands, especially with great success

[@guitarman8462]

Out of all the times I saw ACDC in concert , Queensryche was opening up for them on a tour .

[@Fred_Lougee]

Going to take you back to 1984 here. I was 19, almost 20, and my favorite "new-ish" bands (as opposed to the established acts like Zep, the Stones, Rush, etc.) were Def Leppard and Iron Maiden. Distinct Brit flavor there. The year earlier I had heard the four song eponymous EP and really liked it, but there were a hometown band for me, the industry is never going to recognize a band from the backwoods of Seattle. We'd pushed our quota with Hendrix and Heart so too much to expect them to take any one else. Boy, did history really prove me wrong on that a few years later. So I was at a record store in Mt Vernon, saw their first full album, "The Warning" on sale and was so excited I bought it sight unseen. Tape cassette version. Got home, popped it in the stereo, hoping that it wasn't a turkey. The album floored me. Not just Geoff's vocals but Chris and Eddie's dual guitar attack, Michael and Scott's tight rhythm section, top to bottom a great album from an awesomely talented band.

[@WendyHalen64]

[@dragonlea13]

The best album of all time!!

[@bluedogok]

I remember in an interview Geoff made a comment about another interview he did after Silent Lucidity broke big. The guy doing the interview basically had little or knowledge of the band, he asked them why they did such a "concept album" like Empire. His reply was that it was the "least concept album" they had done.
