Awesome!!! Great recording! These guys were on fire that night!!! Big fan of the Old Ryche! Today? Not so much!!!
I think this bootleg ist called Storming Detroit aswell
One of the best live concerts ever recorded!!
I saw them 5 nights later when they opened for Kiss in Dayton ,Ohio.Great show
😭 JUST WISH THERE WAS SOME VIDEO 😭👍🏋️🇺🇸
Se escucha genial.
My God. Tate is here on… Another planet
Unbelievably tight.
Geoff tate queensrychee album the warning 1984 o melhor
The mix is insane..wow
I still have many of my Harpos Headbanger glasses.
Ein Geschenk! Kannte bislang nur das Über Konzert, auch 1984 in Japan, TOKYO Tapes! Hier noch bessere Aufnahme! Best of all! 🥰🤩👌✊👊🤘🤘
My favorite band – in my town! Man, I wish I could have seen this show live – but I didn’t discover the Ryche until a few years later. Got to see them live for Operation Mindcrime & Empire tours though. This is such a great recording. Enjoying the heck out of it. 🙂
Geoffs voice was other worldly back then.
Prophecy!!
Thanks for posting as it bring back memories when I saw them a year later at Lamours East Queens, NY. Nice recording.
I was at this show, it was a "free" WLLZ promotion if I remember, they gave out tickets at various locations before the show. I was completely caught off guard and was blown away! Harpo's is a great sounding room for any band, but they took it to another level that night! So happy to have found this and yes, soundboard/radio broadcasts are the best live recordings. I wish there were more out there.
Eddie on bass ran that show with Scott pounding the skins like a wild man. However, by far, Geoff's voice is other worldly. I'm very glad there's shows like this we can listen to anytime we want to hear classic Ryche which for me is daily.
🖖✌️💯🤩. IN CHINA THEY MADE GEOFF SING QUEEN OF THE RICE 😜

This is how they always sound in my memories
I am happy to hear this recording but also sad this tour never did get to Toronto. Had tix to see it but it got cancelled both times.
The best performance of queensryche I've ever heard! Unbelievable
I was too young back then to go to a concert 2hours away. Saw them years later during the Operation: Mindcrime tour in Amsterdam, with Pamela Moore, great show!
On the Monsters of Rock tour with Black Crows, Metallica and AC/DC. Only in the Netherlands they played after Metallica due to their popularity in the Netherlands.
Never saw them in their prime (the 80's), but both show were great.
Most underrated band ever!! Tate’s vocals live are INSANE!!!
Tate sings his balls off for an hour and then sings Queen of the Ryche and Take hold of the flame like it’s a walk in a the park. Unbelievable!!! The man is a God.
Harpo’s. Detroit. Epic.
Add Queensryche and that’s a rock show!!!🔥🔥
Yeah i saw them this tour long beach arena opening for kiss…. By the end of their set kiss disnt even need to take the stage….. Just being honest…… They blew kiss off the stage.
This was the Queensryche that I remember. Raw.. Heavy and Before they succommed to the record company and the money. But Mindcrime is Epic too
This is an incredible recording, the band is rocking their fuckin balls off!!!
ALL HAIL THE 'RYCHE!!!
Not too many bands sound better live than the actual record
Queensrÿche from the mid-80s was unbeatable live: Tate had the best voice and technique in Metal, and the band played a phenomenal set with incredible cohesion!
Geoff Tate was something in his prime the whole band was just unreal!!😎🔥 Geoff’s range and voice control is out of this world people compare him to Bruce Dickson and Rob Halford but sorry he surpassed them both with his pipes in his prime untouchable.
Imagine if they had American idol back then and Geoff was a contestant no competition!!!😂🔥🤘
He had that perfect natural Silk in his voice that you are born with yes he did have lots of training but it has always been there with him to release the beast at the right time!!
Wish we had more singers and music like this today but it only comes around once in a lifetime.
God Bless The original Members of Queensryche & Geoff’s Pipes!😄🔥
Incredible quality! Thanks for sharing
Every one of these guys were virtuosos at their respective crafts. There was no weak link in this chain. Flawless perfection. This makes me wish I was 10 or 15 years older. (I was born in 1972.)
