Queensryche Live In Toronto October 24th 1991 16X9

If my camera work didn't ruin it for you, and you appreciated me uploading it, contribute (if you can spare) a buck or two. I make no money from views, all add revenue goes to the acts. I wonder who does get the money though. The artist or the record companies? The artist owns the 'author' rights and typically the record company owns the 'mechanical recording' rights. But they didn't record it... I did.

Unmatched, unattainable, and unparalleled. That was the best era of the mighty ‘Rÿche!

[@mojorisin7371]

Such a technically solid band, especially in this era, Scott's drumming is absolutely spot on and intricate, Geoff and the boys are absolutely killing it here. They never disappoint, long live Queensryche 🤘🏼❤️

One of the best live acts EVER. What a band. I still miss them. The Queenrÿche of today is just a faint shadow of these guys. I miss the Chris and Tate days. Excellent! Thanks so much for uploading.

[@r2xorta]

100% perfect. Never heard another act top this level of performance. Stunning.

[@mtc5]

Geoff Tate's performance as a singer and a frontman is at its peak. His theatrics are not preventing him from singing like it's an album recording. Simply amazing. Queensryche was untouchable during this era. I don't think it was Chris DeGarmo's departure that started the downfall, he was only the first casualty. The band didn't work as a unit to react to the changes in the music scene. Hear In The Now Frontier was basically Chris' solo album, and probably nobody's favorite. He left right after, exhausted and disillusioned with the band (I assume).

[@traceyrychewhite1874]

I do think it was Chris's departure that started Queensryches downfall. He was the main writer and his voice was so good, he could have easily fronted his own band. Without Chris, Geoff didn't have the amazing backing vocals/ harmonies, which definitely effected the sound as a whole. Peace!

[@FreeMTrider]

My first Queensryche concert was on the Warning tour in Sacramento, CA in 1985. Next was Rage for Order (the vampire tour and one of their best albums. Mindcrime was when they hit it big and Empire was the QR machine in their prime. The last of this epic lineup was on the Promised Land tour...and again one of their best. I'm just happy to have seen them live so many times over the years. These guys could not be touched. Thanks for the upload. Great work getting this online for all of us to see and hear.

Michael Wilton and Chris DeGarmo playing harmony leads on The Thin Line. Truly awesome. Queensryche was never the same after Chris left. They became a different band without his great songwriting and harmony vocals. Strange though. As important as Chris was, I'm not sure why the camera focused on him while Michael Wilton was actually playing the guitar solo toward the end of "Another Rainy Night (Without You). Odd. Michael Wilton definitely shreds on lead guitar too.

[@MetalMcfly]

Chris is doing good. He left the band to focus on raising his daughter Riley. She is a musician also and Chris produces all of her music as well as plays acoustic/electric guitars for her. They formed a duo group called The Rue. Check them out here on YT. Keep in mind, it is very different than anything Chris has been involved with in his musical career but then again, it's his little girl so he fully supports her as a father should. You can still hear deep QR roots in his playing style.

Decent camera work dude, and great audio too! Glad you were able to capture this. It's been said a million times but bears repeating, this era was such an amazing time for live music, and specifically rock/metal acts. You could hear the imperfections (sometimes barely, sometimes glaringly obvious) in what was a completely live performance, and it made it better, to me anyway. Yes, there was some use of backing tracks here and there for every band then, a keyboard part or something small. But man, they didn't can half the instruments like now. And the audiences were committed, no gadgets to distract you from the spectacle of full scale arena rock;
