| Notes |
This Geoff Tate show was the last of the tour, and it almost
didn't get taped. I had been to the previous 2 shows (in Santa Ana and LA)
and the setlist hadn't changed at all, so I was thinking "why bother since
it will be the same setlist?" It's a good thing I went ahead and taped the
show anyway, as you'll hear when you DL the show!
For those of you not very familiar, Geoff Tate put out a solo album and did
a tour during the summer of 2002 for it. He played all the songs from his
solo album, but even then, at least half the set consisted of Queensryche
songs, many of which were obscure! Better yet, abooot half the Queensryche
songs were reworked, which was cool, at least to these ears. For instance,
Hero had a style that reminded me a bit of U2's Miami (from Pop) and the
opening track, The Killing Words had a cool techno style to it.
This particular show took place at Cane's Bar and Grill - a venue that
probably held no more than 300 or so people, so this recording is very
in-your-face. The stage itself was TINY, so to fit 6 people on it, with all
their gear, was probably quite a challenge. Perhaps a challenge that maybe
the road crew wasn't up to. While I don't recall anything significant (it
has been a while since I've given this show a listen), apparently the band
had problems. After the solo in Lady Jane, the band either royally
trainwrecked or just decided to screw around on purpose...either way, the
result was pretty interesting! And then at the end of the show, when it came
to play the rocking part of The Thin Line, the band sped up the song a lot
more than they had at the previous gigs!
Unfortunately, because of the problems they were having, they skipped doing
the second encore, so what is being posted *is* the entire show. IMO, the
show was still good, and a funny, if odd, way to end the tour. Enjoy! |
