Queensryche/Dokken concert

Paramount theater, Seattle

Excellent show...........won't make my top 5 though. Donny came out with a guy (Kelly) from The Michael Schenker Band & went unplugged...........disappointing at 1st, then acceptable, but it made the songs somewhat undistinguishable due to little change in tone. Sure, he played his best hits, but they all sounded the same.........still, I enjoyed it.
  Queensryche was outstanding.............played a lot off of " Empire" & added a special treat..................their own rendition of PF's "Welcome to the Machine".........nicely innovative, done w/o keyboards. Tate still has a powerful voice.  The drummer is a machine. I would've loved to have heard "Queen of the Ryche" but I'm not gonna bitch that I didn't.

  All in all, a great show at a cozy venue...........doesn't crack my top 5 though.

 I saw them open for OZZY in 1986.

i saw them around 88 i think.....
guess we are the old guys they keep talking about.

wont let that bother me.....im a actual musician!
most people ....Young people have no clue whats going on anyway.
until they hit 29 and all the bullshit they comsumed  comes back to haunt them. i did love queensryche though.....
alot of fun when your young and DUMB.operation mindcrime  was a great  video to own!!! still have it!

Ahhhh.......I don't feel that old. As long as I can keep seeing bands from my younger days I'll be happy.

   Just saw that Crosby,Stills,& Nash are coming to a small venue here in June.............& later on, Mark Knopfler. Not sure my wallet can keep up with this much longer.
