QUEENSRŸCHE Performs Acoustically On 'The Tour Bus'; Video Available
May 16, 2009Ralph Sutton of the nationally syndicated rock radio show "The Tour Bus" has uploaded video footage of QUEENSRŸCHE's acoustic performance on the program. Ralph says, "QUEENSRŸCHE has been one of my favorite bands since I was in high school! Over the past several years on the radio show, I have forged a pretty good relationship with the band. They came into New York City to play at the Nokia Theater on the tour for their new album, 'American Soldier'. It was a last-minute thing, but I got them to perform acoustic for us on the show — except we ended up having to do it in my bedroom mini-studio. So this is a very surreal video of one of my favorite bands of all time playing one of my favorite songs from them — in my own bedroom. Really overwhelming, to be honest."

As with all shows on the "American Soldier Tour", QUEENSRŸCHE will be performing three separate suites during the two hour performance, each focusing on a different album. The show opens with a suite from the band's 1986 gold album "Rage For Order", including some tracks the band has not played live in over 20 years. The second suite focuses on the new epic concept album "American Soldier", which was released on March 31 from Atco/Rhino. The "Soldier" suite features guest vocal performances by Navy rescue swimmer and Blue Angels crew chief A.J. Fratto on the intense set opener "Sliver" and lead singer Geoff Tate's daughter Emily on the moving ballad "Home Again". The final suite revisits 1990's triple platinum opus "Empire" with performances of some of the band's most beloved tracks, including "Jet City Woman", "Silent Lucidity" and "Best I Can".
