The concert was great. It was really nice to them soo close. Saw the a few times in the past and had to watch the big screen to get a close look. Going to see a show in a small venue like the pheonix theater has it's advantages. Very Loud!!!! Had a great time.
THE BOYS FROM SEATTLE PUT ON A GREAT SHOW. I HAVEN'T SEEN THEM SINCE THE PROMISED LAND TOUR AT MOLSON AMPHITHEATRE. IT WAS GREAT TO HEAR THEM PERFORM SONGS OFF THEIR NEW CD-AMERICAN SOLDIER AS WELL AS SETS FROM RAGE TO ORDER (THE FIRST MUSIC I LISTENED TO-AND BECAME A BIG FAN BACK IN MY HIGH SCHOOL DAYS) AND EMPIRE. GEOFF TATE'S VOICE WAS STILL INCREDIBLE TO LISTEN TO. EDDIE, MICHAEL AND SCOTT WERE ENTRANCING TO WATCH. IT WAS INSPIRATIONAL TO SEE AND HEAR GEOFF TATE AND HIS DAUGHTER SING TOGETHER ON HOME AGAIN. THANKS FOR THE PERFORMANCE AND THE MUSIC
There is no question this is one of the best progressive metal bands out there. The emotional lyricism in the dark, heavy guitar laden sound underscored by Geoff Tate's incredible vocals is what captures me about this act. In fact, each player shines on his instrument and contributes equally to the whole. They definitely did not disappoint. All seemed to be head banging to the enthralling rhythms despite the lack of air -conditioning and a few miscues when Geoff's vocals and horn playing got lost. I think a bigger venue perhaps something like Massey Hall would have done them better justice acoustically but I suppose appealing to the more discerning, intellectual metal listeners has its downfall as they are highly underrated by music consumers in this market.
A truly amazing show. This was first time seeing this band in person and I'm kicking myself for missing all of their previous tours. Here is a band that knows how to entertain. From Geoff Tate's amazing presence and showmanship to asskicking guitar riffs. The show was engaging, thoughtful, and truly sublime. I'm in awe !!!
Its been along time since I have been to a smaller venue to see a band that was as big as these guys were. Immediately you felt like you were a part of the action. The sound was great and the band was tight and seemed like they were having fun. They played songs from 3 albums. "Rage Against Order", American Soldier, and Empire. I found the middle of the set lacking but that may be because I have not listened to the new album and was unfamiliar with the material. American Soldier includes voice interviews throughout the songs which I am not a fan of. Overall the music was great and I thoroughly enjoyed the night.
After all these years, queensriche are still a very tight band with lots of power, energy and soul. A very interesting set list..... A great voice as always.... also emotional moments that leaves this evening printied in my memories data base.. Well done to Queensriche and thank you for all the great music through the years. Will definitely watch this show again....
The band was awesome. Geoff Tate's voice was better than ever. Great connection within the band. I would go again, again and again.
What a great show!.. They played so well and put on a show that involved the crowd. He made a remarkable tribute to the troops and all the fighting that is going on around the world. Truly touching.
Although they hit the stage 1/2 an hour late, Queensryche more than made up for it with a blistering 2 hour set of classics from "Rage for Order" and "Empire" as well as their latest album "American Soldier". Geoff Tate's vocals were album quality throughout and the band matched him stride for stride. No extended drum solos or pyro shows here, just one great song after another. If your only interest in the band is their 1988 release "Operation:Mindcrime" you're out of luck with this tour. The album is not touched. I think advertising for this event should mention the music being performed. "Mindcrime" is one of the best hard rock/metal albums ever produced; and while Queensryche's other works more than hold their own the fans that want "Eyes of a Stranger" and "Revolution Calling" should know ahead of time they're not going to get it. My hope is they have something big in the works for the album's 25th anniversary, as it was a disappointment to not have that album represented. Sidenote: "The National" is a fantastic venue with great acoustics and sight lines. Any chance you get to attend an event there will be well worth your time.
