King Diamond - Welcome Home (Live San Antonio, Texas 2024)

[@nahtaivel93]

Live show, live problems, like the old good days. I love it. 🔥

[@william.L]

The ear monitors were screwed up. King personally never liked using them but guess he decided to this tour.

[@drab-gi1wg]

THE KING

[@rikkiwilliams720]

Gonna see him next Friday in Atlanta and I'm really looking forward to it

[@sccub4chubs]

I'll be there 🤘

[@BeugsTheLegend]

I’ll see you both there!!!!!!

[@mistere4915]

We'll be there too and also our first time at the Eastern.

[@kal9673]

Well, despite with the monitors problems...this is fucking amazing

[@jasonmorman5722]

Ultimate classic 🤘🏻

[@mat.b.]

I'M SEEING DOUBLE...FOUR GRANDMAS

[@Rich-Sz]

It's the very first live show. It takes time to get all the bugs out of a complex presentation. When you do rehearsals prior, there are no issues, but once you attempt to recreate it in front of a live audience -shit happens. It's always like that.

[@william.L]

@@Rich-Sz very true have played in local bands can test the equipment all day sound checks rehearsals and out of nowhere playing something can mess up send everything off.

[@raymondrangel1177]

I'm from San Antonio Tx and I saw him in Louisville Kentucky 10/23/2024

[@J.T845]

This is what happens when it’s a LIVE show!!! No laptops!! 🤘🏽 🎸

[@chuckdeless9891]

Mercyful King!

[@darkkrenaissance42]

ill be there for the Last Show, in Dallas.... You just know it will be the best

[@HankCoffey]

I am pretty sure that is time latency in his wireless in-ear monitors. It's a technical problem. He is hearing himself a second after singing the word. If I have latency in my in-ears, I start talking slow like Will Ferrel in Old School. It FKs with your head. The monitor interface needs to be re-sync'd.

[@Killerklownsfromouterspace]

Fuckin around with his in ear monitor a lot. If that in ear is not on point how he wants his mix it’ll throw him off faster than shit. It’s live. Shit happens. First show. Seeing him in St Louis Sat so we’ll see how he does there.

[@zachary_attackery]

he doesn't use in ear monitors, he uses the wedges on stage which is probably why he can't hear anything

[@juliangarcia8037]

Yeah he said “ well I found out wearing a mask, you can’t fucking hearing anything” so I’ll change that up for the next shows” I notice that he was off and saw him missing with his ear monitor and knew the mask was messing him up

[@jakekenny3399]

You can see how he’s fiddling with his earpiece to get the cue right…maybe that mask won’t be a permanent thing if that’s what was messing with it. Proof it’s live and no safety nets!!!

[@Sabalon]

Now I see why he keeps his hat on most of the time :) Just first night of the tour issues I hope.

[@drewnovak566]

I’m seeing the king in Calgary AB when he’s here in November. Can’t fuckin wait!! Don’t know if I should be spoiling the show with this video though haha

[@edguyrocks5865]

Solo was f'n rockin.

[@DimPetersen]

Great idea! Grand Pa and Grand Ma! But there something wrong with equipment

[@lordx4549]

I was at the show. He said with the mask on he couldn't hear anything

[@mat.b.]

THERE'S TOO MUCH SHIT ON HIM

[@hellfire666-vd8dc]

Face Paint king and tall black hat is the best. Seems weird looking at him with a mask that's just from the screen imagine how much stranger it would be seeing him like that live. Hopefully he ditches the mask he isn't in slipknot ( not a dig that them I personally dig the knot has well has other metal groups ) king diamond wearing a mask is a no no face paint and tall black hat is how I want to see him

[@JustAnotherReactor]

I just watched the version form 2 or 3 nights later in Houston Texas and he doesn't flub the words on that one, so I'm guessing it was an issue with him not being able to hear something correctly in the mix. But, in the Houston show he doesn't sing the *Missy and Mother, they are dying to meet You. How strange... she's spoken no word... I wonder Grandma'! Are You all right?* lyrics before the solo. I'm not sure why because he sings them in this video.

[@ALLforROME]

Where's the girl bass player at?!? Fired already?!? lol

[@jasonmorman5722]

Is that you GrampPa King 😂

[@mat.b.]

Can someone explain the old man mask? Isnt he singing as his younger self in this song? Or is that father Sammael?

[@Polentaccio]

I'm also confused. Probably just mixing it up for the sake of the show

[@madtownangler]

Just had a friend watch the band in Milwaukee Couldn't understand a word he was singing in that video either I think you have to be really high or something to understand the shrieking and wailing.

[@nicholasmercado6545]

GRANDPAAAAA!!! 😂

[@johnnysamhainvocals]

Where is MyrKur ? Doing back up vocals

[@RickKing06]

Do you remember the full setlist? Because i want the know it

[@SpookySeason]

@@RickKing06 posted on stories instagram Ivanmichell

[@Polentaccio]

You can find it online already.. a bit underwhelming if I am honest but i have tickets anyways and am pumped for the show! I heard about the shows issues and came to see but to me it sounds more like he can't hear anything than any other issues. Glad I am going early November, by then they will have sorted out the issues ( I hope)

[@jeffbauman7201]

There's a website for every setlist from every band

[@RickKing06]

@@SpookySeason i looked at it in your Instagram

[@RickKing06]

@SpookySeason I looked at the setlist in your Instagram and it was interesting at the same time

[@sotello9171]

Holy smokes King is way off 🤣

[@heavymetalheretic5386]

Did he perform Abigail

[@Polentaccio]

No

[@gtaglia779]

Wow, some major timing issues there! 1st show mishaps, I'm guessing

[@ortujexinol]

Is this a musical?

[@ISM313]

Sounds like he fixed it after going backstage

[@zachsummers6250]

Bit of a rough start.....still love King 👑 though

[@mightymight4348]

Ppl mentioning the sound, king is real an his sound spectacular been seen him since the 90’s. Bt fr me i hate tht venue sound an all. Js

[@dstroyer7306]

Wow they need to fix the sound. He couldn’t hear anything, and it’s making him look embarrassing.

[@edguyrocks5865]

At least we know it wasn't backing tracks. Mistakes happen. Timing is off...but I'll take it.

[@Polentaccio]

​@edguyrocks5865 100% this is so rampant nowadays. He could even use tracks for harmonies but brings in a female to cover those parts. The guy believes in LIVE music. That's sending a message

[@Daniel-xu6kd]

Bit harsh dude, they tour all around the world. Cant get mixing right everytime.

[@cheryldigelsomina8091]

They Were PERFECT live in KC

[@snisbet721]

Is he wearing a old person mask or something?

[@cynotusk8053]

King BIDEN!!!!!! Jesus H. Christ.

[@guitarguts666]

They better sort that in ear mix situation out NY the next show. This song and invisible guest are a mess for King singing wise I don't think he could hear or he had some drop.outs going on

[@KirkHammettBitMe]

I'll never get past the "evil" props & theatrics. They're distracting, so damn goofy. The music is more than enough.

[@drab-gi1wg]

he pre recorded voice is a mess

[@expectthebow6871]

What was more amazing was all the people there watching and even way way more amazing was the preacher outside with the bullhorn declaring exactly what will take place in future torment when literally they will see their skin melting off their bones in eternal Hellfire

[@Polentaccio]

Including you I assume? We are all in this and burning together

[@expectthebow6871]

@@Polentaccio yeah I like the time The lone ranger said to Tonto "it looks like we're surrounded and Tonto said: "what do you mean we??" Exactly. Even though you took the hook line and sinker Satan caught you with you can still come out of your delusion. If you choose.

[@Polentaccio]

​​@@expectthebow6871 satan only goes after the religious..he already knows he has everyone else. Life on earth is essentially the embodiment of " hell" is it not? But more seriously, King Diamond is theatre, art, fantasy, story telling. You also ended up watching this clip so I'd say nothing can save you now....

[@expectthebow6871]

@@Polentaccio I don't believe Mr diamonds account or your account I believe the one who created hell , I believe in his account ...he holds the keys to life and death ...he defeated Satan.. the account is that it's a place of torment. I looked up this clip so I can post a warning.. I have no interest in the foolish but to offer them wisdom and the beginning of that is to fear the Lord. This is not a sport ..you really are in danger of Hellfire. It is just a punishment for idolaters who are under the guise of "theater." Flee the wrath to come.

[@itookallthenames]

King diamond is no different to John the Apostle or Dante Alighieri.

[@jasonmorman5722]

Way off tempo 😮
