7. Take Hold of the Flame [Queensrÿche - Live in Tokyo 1984/08/05]

This is Queensrÿche’s 2nd concert in Japan and outside North America, luckily for us fans it was captured on film -- it was later released in 1985 on VHS and Laserdisc, but has long been unavailable and out of print. This having once been officially released on video, it was originally edited so the tracklisting was different (see the playlist link in the bottom), and it contains some vocal overdubs (like Geoff laughing in the beginning of Nightrider, as well as other bits throughout the show).This bootleg is already to be found on YouTube, but in rather poor quality, so I thought I’d upload a better one. The concert itself is great, the band is playing fiercely and Geoff is screaming and wailing to the best of his ability, nailing those high notes. All of the songs are great versions, even if they contain overdubs throughout. Enjoy! Link for playlist with correct track-order:
