It's only used for that video version of the song. I've also heard a lot of bootlegs and even seen many bootleg videos. Geoff Tate sang just as good as this live many times.

@@Vimana and to back you up on this, the audio track of the Tokoyo performance was recorded over two nights, iirc. No vocals were overdubbed. This is something they also did with Operation: Livecrime where they recorded two nights on the tour in Wisconsin during the Building Empires tour in 1990-1991. As with the Tokoyo performance there were no vocal overdubs just a few guitar pieces were fixed in the studio...I seem to recall there was a sound issue with one of the guitars one night and the next night there was a missed note or two that they didn't want to release to fans so they fixed it in post production. Geoff Tate mentioned during an interview that he goofed a lyric one night but they had audio from the second night, that's why they record at least two in a row, like an insurance policy. Queensryche's members have always been perfectionists when it comes to their performances but especially so when they are recording for a video release to fans so they made very few errors as a result. Edit to add the interview: "Here's Geoff on the recording subplot of Operation: LIVEcrime. "I know there were three shows recorded, and one of the shows was a complete write-off because we had some major equipment problems. So all of the Operation: LIVEcrime record was recorded from two shows. It's just really, what you hear is what you hear. Those are the exact recordings and we didn't go in and overdub stuff. I like that aspect of it." bravewords.com/features/queensryche-live-alone-and-loud This is what QR was known for even back in the day.

@@billwren5033 Ok then. I guess I believe you and Geoff Tate was being very honest. I still don't believe everything I hear and read so I always question everything. Especially in the genres of rock, hard rock and metal we want the musicians and the singers to be brutally honest in what they do. Sometimes we are overly critical even if we don't have any reason to. Who are we to criticize and even blame other people so easily? I don't think there is any good reason to bring people down. Queensrÿche has definitely been an honest hard working band. I've now read about what have been said about the concert by the channel "Queensrÿche Bootlegs" and by "rbrebrook" here. As far as we know the corrected parts still have nothing to do with the high notes that Geoff Tate sang for example. If some things were adjusted later it might have been only on some other songs. Who knows? When people start talking, then some people automatically presume that those high notes were dubbed in the studio. These things always get exaggerated. After a while people start saying that the whole concert was dubbed in the studio. :-) I remember that there's a writing on some newer DVD release by the band Rush by Geddy Lee (the bassist, keyboardist and vocalist). He wrote that he played a bass note wrong and it was replaced with a dub from another concert. I don't think he really needed to write that... but there you go. Sometimes these small corrections have nothing to do with vocals or probably just removing feedback from the microphone. Usually it's something only the producer or the sound engineer knows. The record company always wants to have a perfect product, which they could sell. These bands are usually so honest that they would like to release a concert just as it is. Is Geoff Tate a great singer? I think he definitely was and probably still is. It doesn't really change if we know that he also made some mistakes. This is much too common in these comment sections and discussions in general: Someone likes a person. Then someone else starts to criticize that the person they like also was not perfect and did something that wasn't so good. So what? I think we can like music without always ending up having these discussions. I've seen this exact same thing on other comment sections about other bands and Queensrÿche too. I finally commented about it. I probably won't do that again.

Glad you finally made it to QueensRyche. I remember hearing them on KISW FM 100's "Smash or Trash" back in the mid 80's, since they were a local Seattle band. They have some great stuff out there. Operation Mind Crime is a fantastic album and along the same lines as The Wall by Pink Floyd.

One of the most "underrated band" ever!

Great choice Jamel! Geoff Tate is one of the best metal vocalists EVER! And their tour de force album 'The Warning', is a top contender for best metal album of all time. I was lucky enough to have seen Queensryche at L'Amour rock club in Brooklyn, NY back in the day for 'The Warning' tour, and I can tell you that many jaws dropped that night! It was magical.

1:05 This song was out Six months before "Purple Rain". But no surprise if the intro is similar, Prince was very mindful of trending rock/metal as he was aggresively marketing the "Purple Rain" album towards Rock Audiences, using the slogan "Tired of the Same old Rock?" in the 'Purple Rain' magazine ads. No doubt Prince thought it would be a good idea to emulate this song's intro for the intro of the song 'Purple Rain'. [Prince often emulated rock bands. He got his 1983 'purple clothes' idea and the 'flowers/flower petals scattered white background (see edges of 1984s Purple Rain album cover)' from Paul Stanley of KISS (who's signature colour was purple as of 1978, and did photoshoots with flower petals scattered on white backgrounds). Imitation is the highest form of flattery!]

This band was often ridiculed by many metal and rock fans alike in the early days, they to me, they we're so far ahead of their time, they could be as heavy as a lot of the early heavy thrash bands, but then they could also write sweet melodic inspiring music, great review!

Classic QR is still one of my favorite bands of all time. Warning, Rage, Mindcrime, Empire, Promised Land. Those albums are all very special to me to this day.

Your reaction is the same as everyones the first time they hear this song. it truly blows your mind the vocal range of Geoff tate. saw them live many times over the years , awesome shows.

Long live the greatest metal band to grace the 80’s!!🤟🏻 I absolutely love Queensryche and have since their ep came out in the early 80’s, there was nothing like them before or since. What an unbelievably amazing band, it’s a shame they never got the recognition they deserved! I thoroughly enjoyed this!👍🏻

FINALLY!!!!! AHHHHH!!! I hope you enjoyed it brother man . Dig into Queensryche now. His voice is incredible. One of the best to do it too.

And keep in mind this was legit LIVE!

And song 12 of a 14 song set! Amazing!

If you want terrific lyrics, I would recommend that you listen/react to Queensryche's "Operation: Mindcrime" live version from 1991-1992 known as "Operation: Livecrime". The lyrics from that whole album (released in 1988) are incredible, the story it tells is fantastic, and many of the songs still ring true today. IMO it's one of the best concept albums ever released! Geoff Tate is also one of the most underrated singers ever. He was never recognized for his singing ability like he should have been. At that time, his vocal athletics were up there with Freddy Mercury and other greats.

YES!! this is a vocal CIRCUS! GEOFF TATE IS STELLAR LAYING IT ALL OUT THERE !! ENTIRE BAND IS INCREDIBLE LIVE

My favorite song of all time. I've listened to it probably 1000 times. I still get chills, every time I hear it, as if it was the first time.

Geoff Tate was classically trained. He's an amazing vocalist. I've seen them live a few times. He always sounded sooo good. You should definitely check out more.

Hi Jamel! My pics are: "Is There Anybody Listening" (official video) From about mid career. Beautifully arranged, lots of harmonies, kick ass song. And from much later in career, "Jet City Woman" Live. Jeff had lost some of his range by then, but I still love this version more than the original. Take care!

Listening to one of the greatest vocalists ever. You know, back when contemporary music actually required talent.

I am 52 years old and it is still my favorite band and I am up on all modern rock. I remember the first time I heard this song like it was yesterday. it still gives me goosebumps, it still makes me want to drive like a bat out of hell and it still brings out my best / worth shower voice lol. Oh and the air drums... Rocking out the air drums!

listen to operation mindcrime , The whole album

Geoff Tate is/was a vocal GOD, bar none! I was fortunate enough to have seen this 1984 tour at a famous rock club in Brooklyn, NY called L'Amours, and it was beyond spectacular! Many many jaws dropped that night, as we witnessed the range and power of a once in a lifetime metal vocalist extraordinaire!

So glad you check it out abd enjoyed it my friend! if you listen to any other Queensryche, hands down try Empire studio version and Eyes of a Stranger - also Studio version. Thanks for listening!

@@xXPyrophorusXx while in the same category of music, Tate's voice is different than Rob Halfords. Both can hit the high notes. But Tate is actually a Baritone. While I believe Halford is a Tenor (I could be wrong) . While I love both, I consider Tate's voice to be richer than Halfords. But to each their own.

Arguably the best live rock performance ever right here!

Thank for honoring The Heavy Metal Area which I grew up in. QueensRÿche was the absolute storm when they were a band. Geoff Tate is an phenomenal singer. They were so much ahead of there time. Flawless can’t even touch them. Once, again thank you for truly appreciating the music that gets mud thrown onto Heavy Metal is more than music it is a lifestyle

Do more Queensryche👊🤘✌️

Recommend The Lady Wore Black from the same live.

And get this.....sang like that for 40 years....song after song.....year after year.....NEVER LOST HIS VOICE!! Wow!! One of the best ever....if not THE best ever for that style + range. Geoff is real hard to beat.

One of my favorite bands of all time since the mid-80's. I ran into Geoff Tate the lead singer at SF international airport and he invited me to sit down with him and we chatted for several mins. Very cool, humble guy and beyond an amazing voice.

I would do “Queen of the Reich” or “Lady wore Black” next. Then the entire Operation Mindcrime album in order

You should react to Queen of the Reich, the last song from the same concert, Tokyo 84. Then, listen to the whole album "Operation : Mindcrime"

There's so many good songs by Queensryche. But don't be like the other reaction channels. And just do the hits. Do a deep cut from them to REALLY get a feel for em. Every channel has done this song and ofcourse Silent Lucidity, Empire, etc. ............be different man.....GO FOR "THE LADY WORE BLACK " !!!!!!! P.S.

Great reaction! Welcome to the world of Queensryche. I loved almost all the "hair bands" of the 80's, saw Winger, Dokken, Foreigner, Extreme and Skid Row in concert, but Queensryche was a whole other level for me, esp. with their song writing. Operation:Mindcrime blew my mind, and it's just as great listening to it today. Btw, I freakin' LOVE your t-shirt!!!

Dream Theater and Queensryche are my top 2 bands of all time. I am so glad you haven't closed your mind out to music like this. You are Thee Man Jamal! He has a 4 octave range.

Hear us now, the ENTIRETY or the "Operations Mind Crime" Album Or LIVE CRIME, the live show

Yeah, Geoff Tate ain't no joke. Anything off of the "Operation Mind Crime" album is recommended.

I love watching pure music fans react to this performance. Queensryche was at their height one of the most musically talented groups on Earth. Geoff Tate's voice is Legendary and amongst my all time favorites. Their later catalogue was ultimately less inspired, but from their first first EP "The Warning" through the album "Promised Land" they were practically impeccable. I would recommend "Eyes of A Stranger" from their Operation: Live Crime DVD or "The Killing Words" from their MTV Unplugged session for your next taste. As always, great reaction my friend \m/

The entire OPERATION:MINDCRIME album. DARE YA, DOG!!!! DARE YA, DOG!! (that's a double dog dare right there)

Tate finally admitted in an interview a few years ago that he was classically trained. I knew it the first time I saw them live. The venue was new and having trouble with the sound system. He didn't needa mike. His movement on stage was identical to my brother-in-law the opera singer.

loved the reaction tnx. in his prime, geoff tate was one of the greatest metal singers ever...

Natural talent! It doesn't get better than this!!!!

And believe me this man is my all time favorite singer n is Still going strong to this day!! Many awards for that voice its incredible!!! Amazing. loved watching your reactions!!😄💕

This is earlier Geoff Tate and Queensryche - when he had his full range. You have to do something from Operation: Mindcrime; it’s their next album after this, a concept album, and it is 31 flavors of brilliant. The only sad part is that Geoff started losing the stratospheric octaves; by the time Empire came out in the early 90s, the top end was gone, but the overall chops were still brilliant.

Most talented metal singer of the 80s. Chest voice and head voice and range just amazing. His charisma on stage in his youth and bravado just amazing. I always thought he was an opera trained singer with pop sensibilities playing with an extremely talented metal band.

im really happy people are finding Queensryche in this day and age. they are my favorite band of all time. incredible stuff
