Fates Warning - Live in Athens 2005 [Full Concert]

[@Gurkan-D.]

huge respect to greek fans in this performance. I love mid-sized venue concerts packed with energic metalheads/fans.

[@pavelm9078]

Yep. This live immediately reminded me atmosphere of Boozed, Broozed & Broken-Boned live (2003) of Black Label Society.

[@morbuenogroup3092]

Pisses me off when a BADASS band like FW goes their entire carrier underrated and unappreciated...!!! My all time fav bands: FATES WARNING & IRON MAIDEN.

[@u.v.s.5583]

If Iron Maiden is underrated, then so is the Beatles.

RIP to My Brother Jimi !! What an amazing weekend 19-20 Feb 2005. And crazy thing is that the night before that gig, me and Jimi also saw Fates Warning again in Salonica, and we barely got any sleep, since we were hanging out to Salonica's metal pubs until 5am with Jimi guiding me there around Ladadika's metal clubs in one of his 2 hometowns. (the other is Katerini). I think before the Athens gig, I only got some sleep in the bus, and thankfully the bus trip from Salonica to Athens was around 6 hours.

[@ZX9RDan]

Weird that I have been such a Queensryche fan since the late 80s, but never got into Fates Warning. Now, Im in the process of buying their entire discography, one CD at a time. I sure have been missing out. Just the right balance of prog vs straight heavy rock vs melodies. It never feels like they go into masturbatory mode like so many prog musicians tend to do.

[@tawariellorigami]

It's so nice to hear/read that! Welcome to the Fates Warning realm \m/

[@mvunit3]

Welcome to the few but PROUD International fanbase of the mighty FW :D. They deserve to have much more credit for the Prog Metal seeds of growth, and should be playing bigger venues. They truly are one of the hardest working bands out there with some outstanding music :). But I don't mind bands that are "self-indulgent" either ;). Prog music is about breaking out of parameters and musicianship, so I love each band that has its own way of doing things. As long as its good and enjoyable music :). \m/.

[@alexestevam]

ZX9RDan I think we can't even classify their music anymore. It should be Fates Warning genre and that's it! 🙂

[@novashaven9132]

ZX9RDan their earlier stuff in the 80s were speed metal based. They didn't slow down to a more prog-speed sound until Ray Adler joined as vocalist on 88's "No Exit", and to a pure prog sound on 91's "Parallels," changing his voice too. I prefer that change.

[@mgdarenz]

Wow. 'Bout time, dude. haha Queensryche's body of work pales in comparison to Fates Warning's. Really, nothing after Promised Land is any good, and for me, Operation: Mindcrime is the last great recording. The Warning is a masterpiece, along with Rage For Order and Mindcrime.

[@windberpa1220]

FW fan since 1986. Hats off to this live performance.

[@munton5150]

I have never seen this band live, and I am pretty blown away. And I did not know Nick D'Virgilio played drums with them at that time! They are incredibly tight live here. Vocals are A+!

[@PabloJ1968]

Me neither, and Nick was amazing as always!

[@mitchellschleede569]

He is touring wirh Mr. BIG now.

[@Wedigar]

I love how they are chanting "We want more." and Kevin Moore walks out to the keyboard lol

[@casperhunter6894]

He is there before although you don't see him much in de video. He came along in minute 26.

[@vivolash]

Saw them couple weeks ago in Boston. 400 or so fans..a shame. They deserve much better. Amazing unique sound. This is where prog metal was born, even Dream know that :)

[@dennisthemenace5466]

These guys played a place called bar 666 on the pleasant shade of gray tour. They were mind blowing, tight and full of passion. I took ray alder and Jim matheos on their tour bus and got them really stoned, what a great night, and they still sound just as good today.

[@88omair]

"got them really stoned" Hahahaha holy shit are you serious?? That's a once in a lifetime chance! Lucky you

[@HelixBrightstar]

Thank you for sharing this, I really enjoyed it. Silent Cries was the very first Fates Warning song I ever heard back in 1988 when I was 14 and I have loved their music, both as Fates Warning and Ray Alder's Engine ever since. I write this comment in gratitude as I have not had the opportunity to ever see them live and this is a very good performance. Thank you again for uploading this concert. :-)

I saw them in 1985 at Celebrations in Boston. Their promoter took me into the backroom and asked me to be their northeast promoter. I had a heavy metal radio show in Boston at the time. They remain the best of the prog-metal bands that came from that movement. Criminally unknown. Much, much better than Metallica.
