Stan Bush & Vince DiCola. absolute Legends. (Stan looking facially quite like Marty McFly here)

For people commenting that the audience was dead or clueless for not clapping or cheering during the performance, we were basically in awe of seeing these guys performing Transformers music live for anybody for the first time. Really, though, most concerts don't have people making bunches of noise during each song because they're trying to hear and enjoy the music. Also, from a technical standpoint, the microphones that were intended to record the audience weren't set correctly, so you really can't hear anything we might have been doing anyway. One spot you can (barely) hear is at 7:22 when Vince starts the coda with bits from Autobot / Decepticon Battle. And, of course, when we erupted at the end of the whole 1½ hour concert. Taken as a whole, despite the flaws in the performance, this concert was one of the signature events of the 3H years of BotCon.

Been to several concerts and the audience always claps along or sings along. The volume of the performance is usually loud enough that it makes no difference

fell in love with this song when i saw transformers...aww memories...got the song on my mp3 player:-)

This song just never fails to get me pumped, love it

This is brilliant, love how Vince drops other pieces from the movie in and that intro is amazing. I know the crowd are being respectful but I think I'd be completely losing my shit watching these guys live!

7:23 Vince DiCola looks so happy when he starts playing that part.

Intro from Vince is captivating!

This is fucking magic. Thank you whoever you are who uploaded this.

Stan Bush's career encapsulates my life! Thanks Stan!!!

Thery are hypnotized by the music.

The music is so magical in the beginning, makes me believe I'm a character in a video game, and a character in a cartoon and anime!!

This is one of the Songs I can Listen on a Daily Basis and never gets old... Love it since 1987 when I heard it for the 1rst Time... Greetings from Peru amigos

LOVE that guitar solo

This is gold!

There's no doubt that Vince Dicola was huge Keith Emerson fan. Both of the solos on this track would have fit perfectly in a ELP song.

This is nothing short of absolutely beautiful. Thanks for posting it!

@7:34 sounds a lot like something from Rocky 4. I like how everything from Vince DiCola sounds like either Rocky or Transformers

Wreck Gar: Framed in enamel! Resists fire, rain and corrosion for up to five years. Satisfaction guaranteed. Junkions : Or your money back!

7:21 I love this fucking part

True greatness

i can imagine the dialogue from the movie while he intro is playing

7:21

Awesome

Whoa, this looks way more dingy than I imagined. I blame 1997.

Song starts at 3:21

@GuitarEkket86 They are in awe, and better that way, It creates better audio for the viewing

Transformers FOREVER !!!

People who have never seen the film have idea how good the music score was.

@johnedsel dood, the audience is quiet as a sign of respect hahaha

Hmm, the last part left a persistent tought in my mind, that what the acoustic version of this song would sound like...

stan bush make the touch

directo amis favortios trasfomers

OH WENA

Those weren't true Transformers (particularly Stand Bush) fans not singing, clapping or cheering at all.

siempre me gusto esta rola

For those of yo commenting on the crowd, they aren't real, they are cardboard cut outs... der 😂😂😥😪

did he mess up the lyrics right after 3:48? it's supposed to be "Think of all the things that really mattered"

Crying.

I have to say the more recent Stan performances have been way better than this, he must have been sick or smoked some serious stuff.

@@acollectionofthings Plus we're hearing the mix which was sent to the PA rather than a mix balanced for this recording (the clue for me as to just how bad this mix is is how "stabby" the keyboard sounds at the start of "The Touch" at the same gig). I also suspect he didn't have great monitors so he wouldn't have been able to hear what he was doing perfectly (in later years technology moved forwards which made things so much easier). We've got to recognise that those are some utterly ridiculous notes he's hitting and I doubt there are many people who could even pretend to sing it in this key. That's some serious vocal stunt work he's doing there! His more recent performances have been dropped down a key because when you get older you lose a little bit of range but that doesn't take anything away from what he's doing.

​@@acollectionofthingsJust curious, since you've mentioned in other comments that you've talked with the 3H crew and that you were at the show, was that something that you heard from those guys, or just speculation?

@@RyanArchiveDump My comment was a mixture of direct reporting and personal experience with singing and being around singers. Two things stand out when considering the concert as a whole: not having the show memorized and being out of shape on vocal endurance. This became more obvious in the later portion of the concert when he was singing with the other guys because his higher pitches became more uncertain and he had to take more shortcuts of using falsetto. I certainly don't fault him for running out of gas by the end as it was a demanding show, but he didn't do himself any favors by establishing his style as always being placed in the upper end of his range. Still, I give his performance in the concert a solid B+ overall.

he loses the tempo a couple of times there, but fuck it, still awesome!

Man, that is dynamite!

it seems like there people standing infront of the audience with loaded guns

Go listen to mystery - turnstile. The intro there sounds like Vince's intro here

@jamchew1982 hhahaa they're just respectful of the music!

I no. how are they just sitting there? it looks like a audition lol

Fish are jumping today huh Danno?

@neohubris guitar solo?

If I where to see the great Stan Bush, I would not stand there like a zombie

was something wrong with the speakers? it sounded weird. the music video songs better.

I'm so disappointed that the crowd ISNT in to this

Did they performed for mannequins?

Essa platéia de teatro ridícula.
