Jeff Tate's performance at this show was nothing short of divine. Pitch, tone, and expressiveness were all perfect, and it didn't change until the last song, "Take hold of the flame". It is a miracle in the history of metal!!

Stage Fright? Not sure where you got that from? I've known them all for many years. Saw Geoff sing with many different bands and never did he suffer from stage fright. His stage presence was not the greatest until the Ryche but mostly because the venues played had stages with barely enough room to stand on... Once he was able to move around, he opened it up some. But, as far as stage fright was concerned... Not the Geoff Tate I remember!

Rob is my favorite singer in metal, but the 80s were actually really rough for him. Studio wise, he pulled off some amazing vocals, but in the early to mid 80s, he was doing alot of drugs which made him have like a super cracked voice. Luckily, he git sober in 1985 and performed amazing for the rest of the decade. That being said, tate was consistently phenomenal in the 80s and wayyyyyy better than even Dickenson

Even now my kids are jealous that I got to spend my teenage years with all these great bands just starting off at the time around Hollywood.
