I listened to Queensryche many years ago. I too stumbled across this video and WOW!... I forgot how great they were. So glad for KZread and other sources to capture footage like this because it gives our older favorites a chance to stay in the game or get back in it, and to show all the young fans and new bands how the "BIG BOYS" do it. Without it, half these bands would be just a distant memory or even fogotten about.

By far this is the best version of this song Geoff not only sang this song putting so much Hart in to it the vocal is so deep awesome and vibrant it's hard to describe it I just can't get enough of this song in this version absolutley love it He looks so happy and the whole band looks great too

Kelly Gray is an awesome musician and one of the great Seattle music engineers. He has been a friend and colleague of QR for years, recording and mixing a lot of their hits. He stepped in to fill the lead spot after Chris retired because they couldn't find a suitable replacement. After they got their new guy, Kelly went back to his support role. I was at this show back in 01 is it was fukin awesome and Kelly rocked it!

I have seen them 3 times, the guy works hard and appreciates his place in rock and relishes it; you can see it in his face

One of the best vocalists on the planet!

This is one song I love to hear while driving through Seattle...

This is an excellent live version.

That Mindcrime album will blow you away, compared to Empire.

We sang along to a Judas Priest Album almost every morning before work, or played tennis and listened to The Cars or The Knack. He was a big Pat Benetar and Heart Fan. When we weren’t rehearsing or performing, we would go to see Rocky Horror Picture Show on Saturday Nights.
