...QUEENSRŸCHE played all of "Rage For Order" for the first time this past Halloween (October 31) at the Highline Ballroom in New York City. The band also played other QUEENSRŸCHE hits and favorites that night.
"'Rage For Order' was only our second full studio album and it's hard to believe it's been 25 years," lead singer Geoff Tatestated before the concert. "We plan to let the good times roll on Monday night and hope you come join us in the Big Apple for what we promise to be a memorable show."
Fan-filmed video footage of the performance can be seen below.
"Rage For Order" introduced a much more polished look and sound for QUEENSRŸCHE. The album featured keyboards as prominently as guitars, and the group adopted an image more closely associated with glam rock or glam metal than with heavy metal (of which glam metal was a subgenre). A video was filmed for the song "Gonna Get Close to You", originally recorded in 1984 by DALBELLO. A song titled "Rage For Order" was written and demoed for the album, but it was not included on the final release. The main riff from this song was worked into an instrumental piece played during some shows on the tour in support of this album and eventually morphed into the track "Anarchy-X" on the "Operation: Mindcrime" album.
"Rage For Order" was ranked #88 on Kerrang! magazine's "100 Greatest Heavy Metal Albums Of All Time" in January 1989...

QUEENSRYCHE TO PERFORM "RAGE FOR ORDER" IN ITS ENTIRETY FOR FIRST TIME EVER IN NEW YORK CITY ON HALLOWEEN NIGHT
QUEENSRYCHE TO PERFORM "RAGE FOR ORDER" IN ITS ENTIRETY FOR FIRST TIME EVER IN NEW YORK CITY ON HALLOWEEN NIGHT:
While some will be counting how many Mounds bars they've got in their pillow case, rock fans in the New York City "know" will be "Screaming in Digital" on Monday night, October 31st, when the band Queensryche performs their 1986 release, Rage for Order, from beginning to end at the HighLine Ballroom in New York City. A little bit "trick" and definitely a lot of "treat," the truly special Halloween show will mark the first time the band has ever performed the album on stage in its entirety. "Rage for Order was only our second full studio album and it's hard to believe it's been 25 years," says lead singer Geoff Tate. "We plan to let the good times roll on Monday night and hope you come join us in the Big Apple for what we promise to be a memorable show." In addition to the 11 songs that comprised Rage for Order (see below for track listing), the band will be performing a selection of other songs including their hits at the show. What better way to celebrate Halloween? Who needs candy anyway? Queensryche -- Geoff Tate, Scott Rockenfield, Michael Wilton, Eddie Jackson and Parker Lundgren -- are currently in the midst of their 30th Anniversary Tour in support of their newest CD, Dedicated To Chaos, which came out in early summer via Roadrunner Records/Loud & Proud. On November 14th, the band sets sail on the ShipRocked Cruise (www.getshiprocked.com) where they'll perform Operation: Mindcrime in its entirety.
For more information on the band, please see their official website at www.queensryche.com.
