The Rage For Order set was worth the price of admission for me on this night with only Queensryche performing. Three seperate genre's of 'Ryche represented, seven or eight from each. The "American Soldier" set did exactly what a band hopes to have happen when they perform live; I went and downloaded the record. For me the live performance was much better than the recording but isn't that how it should be and so rarely is anymore? The poignant moment with defacto band leader/lead vocalist Geoff Tate and his daughter on stage performing was heart warming in context with the video backdrop accompanying them. Then finishing with 7 songs from Empire the greatest commercial success the band has had to date was a nice touch. That and the 'Take Hold Of The Flame' encore. Well done gentlemen, well done.

Geoff and the group was absolutely amazing in their show. Geoff's ability to still belt out those tunes like it was still back in the 80's just blows me away. The rest of the band was amazingly tight. I cannot say enough about that show and about the band. Queensryche has always been a favorite of mine and they keep proving it to me time and time again.

This is one of my wifes favorite bands of all time so I suprised her with this show as an birthday gift. We went with a couple of friends who also enjoy good rock n roll. The show was at The Masquerade Atlanta and was a great up close venue. Lita Ford came out and did a couple of songs of her own as well as her famous duet with Ozzy with the band. Queensryche was very good, I like there new stuff as it is more progressive and up to date for my taste, but it was cool to hear the old hits as well. Wifey was pleased to hear all her old favorties. The band sounded great. If you like them then you will enjoy this show and the small venues they are playing on this tour.

I'm am one of Queensryche's biggest fans. I appreciate the band doing a concept album dedicated to the soldiers. that's very commendable. But, i just don't get the vibe. i loved the Rage for Order part of the show. But halfway thru the American Soldier, i was ready to leave. It was also very hot in the venue, which didn't help any.

There will never be another Operation Mindcrime. That is the concept album. I will see the band again, and I will always support the greatest band in the business!

this was not one of the best concerts ive been to. Queensryche played too much newer stuff that i was unfamiliar with. however, they did play some songs i knew, but they didn't play anything off Operation: Mindcrime, which is, like, their best album.

That was disappointing, but i was even more disappointed with Lita Ford. the only song lita played that i was familiar w/ was the ballad "close my eyes forever", other than that, she just played new songs. She didn't even play any other classics like "kiss me deadly", "shot of poison", "out for blood", etc. let alone any Runaways stuff. to top that, she only played 3 songs in total

what would've made the concert better was if they played more classic songs, rather than new songs that people are unfamiliar with. i hope that the next time i see either queensryche and lita ford that they play more classic stuff and less new stuff

Tix said doors at 7pm, so we got there around 7:30 just to wait for an hour in line. After the doors opened it was another hour of waiting. When the band finally did come on, pretty sure they had a track for back up vocals. was a huge let down, we probably stayed an hour or so after the band came on.

Unbelievable, just a great show. Geoff and the boys are as powerful as ever. Fantastic stage presence, searing vocal excellence, awesome musical integrity and precision. Performing "suites" from the albums "Rage for Order", "American Soldier", and "Empire" were great choices. I was amazed how comfortable Geoff Tate seemed hitting every single note on the songs from "Rage for Order". This was the album that got me hooked on this band in 1986. If you have heard songs like "Surgical Strike", "Walk in the Shadows", or "Neue Regel" you know what I mean.
Parker Lundgren appears to be a great fit for the second guitar slot. While no one can replace Chris De Garmo, I felt better about Parker's "presence" than I did with Kelly or Mike Stone. To their credit, they both performed well given the un-fillable shoes they were having to fill.

Lita Ford is as great as ever. She sang her ass off and more than held her own playing next to Michael Wilton. Seeing and hearing her perform with Queensryche is a surreal dream come true. Her and Geoff singing together on "Close my eyes forever" was stunning. Geoff's vocals transformed it and gave it a new feeling of joy in the present tense. It came across more as two people expressing a sincere appreciation for the true love they share.

If you are thinking about going to this show, you should.
For one night just smile, yell, tap your feet, raise your hands, bang your head, whatever. For one night say, "Screw the economy, I'm going to see Queensryche."

The 3 suites of music that Queensryche performed are a cross of the harder metal days, (Rage for Order) mainstream (Empire) and thought provoking music (American Soldier). The 3 suites flowed from one to the next and showcased the best of each genre.

AJ Fratto makes an appearance to open the American Soldier suite. A special kudos go to Queensryche for finding AJ and adding him. He's a true American Soldier.

Anytime Queensryche are around on tour they are a must see! The songs and vibe of the band onstage are contagious. Queensryche continue to be one of the best bands touring today.

A few years ago, I saw Queensryche during the last tour which included Chris Degarmo. Although I enjoyed the show, I though Geoff Tate had lost his ability to sing like he did when he was younger. Last night's show in Fort Lauderdale was amazing. Geoff Tate is 50 YEARS OLD and his voice was perfect. After performing a set from the new album, Americian Soldier, QR went into Empire like it was 1990 all over again. Geoff was in shape too. Buff. It was easy to see that he's been working hard on his fitness and his trade. I was literally blown away by the sound of his voice and his ability to sing like a much younger man. I thought it was smart the way QR integrated a new young sound via other singers, including Lita Ford, while Geoff rested his voice. I am 42 and hard to impress. Queenryche, and Geoff Tate in particular, impressed the hell out of me.

I have been watching Queensryche since about 1986, when they opened up for Ozzy Osbourne . The one thing i wasn't too thrilled about was the fact that my tickets said the show started at 7:00 pm. The band did not come out untill about 9:30 Pm, so I was a bit aggravated by that. Then they opened up with the song "Nue Regal," which is from the Rage for Order album. Absolutely intense. Geoff Tate's voice sounded better than it has in years..in fact I was amazed he could still hit some of those high notes . I am a huge fan of Rage for Order, but for fans of their more accessable music from the "Empire" days, it may be too bombastic. But for those who want to hear the band play hits like 'Walk in the Shadows", "Surgical Strike (a fast paced metal song similar to Mindcrime's 'The Needle Lies") "I only Dream in Infra-Red", this is the highlight of the show. Truly sounded fantastic. Geoff also performed the beautiful ballad, "I will remember", flawlessly. The second segment of the show was from The American Soldier Album. A great tribute to our forces, but I regret to say, the songs don't do much for me. However, the song Geoff does with his young daughter is a touching song and a very nice moment. The song i really like from the album "At 30,000 feet" wasn't played. Then Lita Ford came on and performed two songs from her new album with Queensryche. She showed she is as good as ever. Perhaps my favorite moment was when Geoff and guest star Lita Ford did a duet of her hit from the 80's, "Close my Eyes forever." I thought they blended nicely with Geoff taking over the Ozzy Osbourne parts of the song. Then the band performed many of their hits from Empire, one of their most popular albums ever. The band sounded great, Geoff was in top form. Overall, a very good show.
