Pre-Queensrÿche recordings from Geoff Tate & Kelly Gray during their time in Myth. Though considered a progressive rock band these recordings do show a very metallic edge. It was during Geoff's tenure in Myth that Chris Degarmo heard him sing. Chris then invited Geoff to sing on Queensrÿche's EP sessions. Originally a session gig, Chris invited Geoff to join Queensrÿche once he seen how great the recordings went. During the recent split between Queensrÿche and Geoff Tate, the band stated Geoff was never really a fan of metal and was steering the band too far from the genre. These early recordings of songs that Geoff wrote/co-wrote well before joining Queensrÿche, songs that would be cannibalized and re-written for subsequent Queensrÿche albums show distinct metal roots. The tapes due suffer some what from age but are completely listenable & enjoyable. Tate's vocals are immaculate especially on "Scarborough Fair".

Rosebud picked another good one for you, this time a Master Recording from Geoff Tate on yet another World Tour celebrating Operation Mindcrime. So you get the full Mindcrime performance and a couple other tracks. One song stands out as being a rare performance, "One Foot In Hell" from Operation Mindcrime II. It's not a track played that often with being in a complete performance of Mindcrime II. So that's pretty cool, Geoff's in pretty good voice as well. All in all a really enjoyable listen.

Okay remember what I said about Rosebud and her rating system for rating Queensrÿche shows? Same thing here, it's an FM simulcast recording so sound is a little less than Excellent but listenable and Geoff Tate hits the high notes in "Take Hold Of The Flame"

Now Rosebud doesn't just rate her Queensrÿche bootlegs on sound. She also rates them on how well Geoff Tate does the scream on "Take Hold Of The Flame". They did it as the encore and Geoff hits the highs so Rosebud said post it. Now she also says that you have to give a little on the sound quality. This was a simulcast, live as it happens, some times they have sound glitches. This one did not have the clearest sound but the band was on fire the whole show. The artwork for A Measure of Success is included since this version has none.

Harpo's was packed that night since WLLZ-FM gave the tickets out for free. WLLZ-FM was in a war with The Original Home of Rock & Roll The Riff WRIF-FM 101.1. WRIF was the first Underground FM Radio Station in Detroit. The studio was in a mobile home and they would move it when the feds were getting close. They went legit and parked the mobile home where the radio station is still located today. WLLZ and WRIF were trying to one up each other by trying to get the biggest scoop of a live broadcast on their station. The result is a lot of bootlegs were recorded in Detroit that year. That included WRIF's winning broadcast of Kiss at Cobo Hall, which became the Live And Uncensored Video release from KISS. WLLZ went off the air and went Kool Jazz in the 1990s. WRIF still Rocks Detroit, now WLLZ is back as an "Updated Classic Rock Radio Station" since they play Guns n' Roses, Metallica, Pearl Jam, Smashing Pumpkins and other 1990s bands. Remember when Mom & Dad said "One day Led Zeppelin will be on the Oldies Station." Oldies Station, Classic Rock Station, a rose by any other name still has the thorns right?

Another nice sounding audience recording from Geoff Tate former lead vocalist of Queensrÿche. This recording comes from Geoff's Big Rock Show Hits Tour which actually focused on more than just the hits (now I actually like these songs so now for my reactions to the choises) "Desert Dance" comes from the Tribe album, "Sacred Ground" comes from Q2K, "I Am I" & "Bridge" come from Promised Land (okay these are on the tail end of their hayday), "Cold" comes from Frequency Unknown, "Real World" comes from the Last Action Hero Movie Soundtrack, all of which comes after the bands "so called Hayday". All of which make this a real nice set from Geoff. I love Operation Mindcrime and Empire but damn there are other songs that would be nice to hear once in a while. Like this particular set. Rosbud actually pleasantly surprised by some of these choices. I mean "Cold" from Frequency Unknown. Geoff's Queensryche album with half of Hollywood's 1980's musicians playing on it. I own the original, not the remixed remastered re-release. It sounds like the demos for an album that haven't been fleshed out yet (I'm being a little polite). A really rushed affair, but "Cold" comes off sounding pretty damn good here. I hope his upcoming tours will include more of his solo material and material recorded with Sweet Oblivion.
