My wife and I had the opportunity to attend  an acoustic set performed by Queensryche vocalist Geoff Tate at WBAB in West Babylon this afternoon. Tate and his talented band are touring for the 30th anniversary of the Operation Mindcrime album. The event was hosted by WBAB’s “Fingers” best known for Fingers’ Metal Shop. Quite frankly, I went to the event not expecting much and was blown away by the power of Geoff Tate’s voice backed acoustically by his touring band. 

“Silent Lucidity” capped the short but satisfying set followed by a Q&A session where we learned that the very cool Mr. Tate is a grandfather and owns a vineyard. 

WBAB is still the heart of terrestrial radio rock and roll on Long Island and the home of 1980’s era rock and roll.

The band Operation Mindcrime plays at the intimate Revolution Bar In Amityville tonight.

Rock on!
