QUEENSRYCHE IN CONCERT:
For more than three decades, progressive metal veterans Queensryche have been pushing the genre’s boundaries with their ambitious sound and electrifying performances on tour. At their staggering live shows the band takes the stage in all black, delivering powerful rock anthems like “Silent Lucidity” and “Jet City Woman” beneath a giant banner bearing their signature peregrine falcon-likeTri-Ryche logo. Former Crimson Glory singer Todd La Torre joined Queensryche in 2012 and the band hasn’t missed a beat since, thrilling fans with extensive touring tirelessly and a return to the studio in 2015. Whether they’re rocking out to early favorites or playing cuts from their self-titled 2013 album, Queensryche always treats ticket buyers to an unforgettable concert experience full of potent tunes, virtuosic musicianship, and classic metal showmanship.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Queensryche formed in Bellevue, WA in 1982 from the ashes of local band The Mob. They received an early break when UK rock mag Kerrang! got wind of their demos and wrote a glowing review. The growing buzz in both the UK and the US led to impressive sales for their 1983 debut EP, and the following year the band released their debut album The Warning to a spot on the Billboard 200. Following a tour with Kiss the band released their 1986 sophomore album Rage for Order, a gold-certified outing that showcased a more polished rock sound. The band reached the pinnacle of their success in 1990 with the album Empire, which peaked at No. 7 on the Billboard 200 and spawned the Top 10 rock hits “Silent Lucidity” and “Jet City Woman”. Since then Queensryche has weathered numerous lineup changes while continuing to release records and tour with metal mainstays like Iron Maiden and Judas Priest. In 2012 former Crimson Glory singer Todd La Torre joined Queensryche, and he continues to helm the band as they bring their distinctive brand of metal-infused power balladry to fans around the world on tour.
Even if you go for the classic stuff you will get more than that, those guys are in good shape, ready to rock.
Great show, I am a late comer to the QR party...discovering them through this incredible "American Soldier" CD. I was at the show with my daughter & other friends,,I almost cried during "Home Again". ok I did squirt a little. The beautiful & powerful "Silent Lucidity" was moving and near perfect. "Jet City Woman" rocked the house...just a great great time and show. I now rank Geoff Tate in the top 5 of all rock singers , a list that includes, Robert Plant, Paul Rodgers & Elvis Costello & Brandon Boyd of Incubus. Can't wait for the October 21st show in Raleigh, NC.
Queensryche put on an amazing show as usual, they are one of the best live bands ever! I was not a fan of American Soldier until I saw this performance. The band sounded great!
the show was awsome great view sound was very good i give this show a 10 +
I absolutely loved Queensryche. They have always been one of my favorite bands. This show was really great. Such a small intimate venue. The set list was great also. We got to enjoy some of our favorite hits from the past and also got to experience some of thier new work as well.
QUEENSRYCHE is always fantastic and this show was no exception! Jeff Tate is astounding - his vocal range, his originality, his message and entertainment value have passed every test of time! Now he is including his daughters in the mix, not to be a self-indulgent "daddy" but, instead, to showcase some fine beginning talent that will remain part of the rock genre. All of the musicians who rock with him are exceptional in their craft. The show was awesome!
Excellant show , Great set too, cant wait till they come back
Great new cd, in QR tranquility. Although last time I watched the entire Empire suite was with Chris DeGarmo, but the new members are dialed right in, a quality addition. Scott was a powerhouse for the demand. Michael seamless musicality as always. Edbass kept the house rock solid. Jeff's voice is right on track, one of the very best in the business. So good that I'm now going to have to see this show again, found out QR's coming to my home town this fall, don't have to drive 4 hours again! See you guys in October!
I have been to 15 Queensryche shows, and they are the greatest live band I have ever known!!!
OMG! Where to start! I have seen many bands back in the day but never got to see one of my faves Queensryche. I jumped at the opportunity to see them this year and it was as if time stood still! Geoff Tate (still as HOT as ever) still has the most beautiful voice-and he didnt miss a note! Loved the American Soldier recordings- If I Were King says it all. Of course the hits of the 80's had us all on our feet. The only thing lacking was "Silent Lucidity" which I was so eagerly anticipating but the night was one I wont forget and my first time at the Dallas HOB was awesome- venue is amazing and I highly recommend. Long live Queensryche!
Could not have sounded better thought I was back in 1992 they were awsome cannot wait till they come back!! They still got it!
Queensryche was amazing as usual! I never miss them when they come to town and they never disappoint!
After nearly three decades of rocking, "The Ryche" continues to deliver some of the best live shows on the planet. This concert was no exception. Another tight, passionate performance that featured songs from three albums; Rage for Order, Empire and their newest release American Soldier. The band sounded incredible and newcomer Parker Lundgren blended seamlessly with the original members, resulting in the signature Queensryche sound that set them apart from their contemporaries (many of which have fallen by the wayside). This show left me confident that Queensryche will continue to impress for years to come and I cannot wait for them to roll through town again!
Queensryche was unstoppable on May 22, 2009. Everything from the rousing lyrics of "Best i can" to the props and actor used for "Unafraid" which made the crowd see that Queensryche is indeed patriotic and very intelligent in their lyrics. That night vocalist Geoffe Tate's voice was in perfect form and it's hard to believe that their first album was released as a EP in 1983. The other songs throughout the night such as "Empire" and "Walk in the shadows" reminded fans like myself and others others that Geoff Tate(vocalist), Michael Wilton (guitar), Eddie Jackson(bass), and Scott Rockenfield (drums) are at the top of their game. Bring on "Operation Mindcrime 3" we're all waiting anxiously.
The Queensryche show was unstoppable with all of my favorite tunes. They are definitely one of the most unique sounding bands in which no one can match.
queensryche always puts on a good show and the hob was awsome
Queensryche performed both old and new material. The band was tight never missing a note. The vocals were great with unbelievable range. This concert was especially good because it was in the House of Blues. The balcony seats were comfortable and even if you sat in the last row you still had a good seat. Everyone in the audience was singing along during the most well-known songs.
I love Queensryche. I would recommend people to get to know their music if they do not already. They are completely underated. They are awesome musicians that have been around for 20+ years. I would recommend anyone to go see them. I sure wish I could see them more than I can but I can only afford to see them when they come to my state.
queenryche was in exceptional mode tonight....the band with new member Parker and special guest jason ames jelled liked they had been together for a while....they played with such energy & emotion...which just fed to the crowd.....in all my years that i have seen qr they have never dissappointed...and last night was no exception.....ive' been a qr fan since 1983....other than not being the original lineup...qr still rocks with the best of them .....
Queensryche is one of my favorite bands and has been for years. This show was amazing. The House of Blues was a great venue for this band. The sound was awesome and Geoff Tate's voice enthralled the audience. It was a very intimate setting and you could feel the bands connection with their fans.
