  • Midnight was kind of the only competition for Robert Halford

  • Wonderful !! He is tha most singer I´ve seen

  • this is a very crappy video of an apparently good performance

  • LA VOZ DEL HEAVY METAL

  • \m/

  • es un temazo

  • Think it is a warm up concert for Anthrax in Holland 1989. I believe I have it on VHS somewhere. They cover "Son of a bitch" at one point

  • I always think of Crimson Glory as Queensryche's less proggy brother. They both RULE!

  • Do someone know date, year and location of this concert? Thanks in advance!

  • I can't believe all the people just kind of standing around. That would have been one the best times of my life had I been there. I agree, way underrated.

  • midnight is a god, he's my idol, i want to sound like him as a singer, pure strength and soul, i want to blow every fucker away just like he did with his voice, RIP mate you were and still are an inspiration

  • Great band!!!! I always loved their style. Midnight has great vocal...will never understand why they have never reached the top.

  • love this song, got into these guys after seeing he Lonely video on Metal Mania. Transcendence is one of my favorite metal albums of all time.

  • Glorious !!!

  • Killer track!

  • Haha...that's a small stage for such a large amount of METAL!!!

  • When I was a kid I got to be back stage and see Crimson glory. My aunt dated their manager and when other kids were listening to mc hammer and vanilla ice I was listening to CG and Saigon Kick. I remember it was loud but very clear, they always sounded good.

  • PROGRESSIVE METAL !!!

  • voice of god and a band that rocks the gods!

  • What an amazing band, and an amazing song, from an amazing album

    RIP Midnight

  • Awesome band. Bought the Transcendance cd back when released in '88/89 after a review in Metal Forces, they gave it 10/10 if I recall. Midnight's voice always amazed me. A great talent and a great loss.

  • Great voice, even with the fog machines going.

  • there arent many live videos of crimson glory LIVE....why??????

  • More like "Red Sharks" by Yellow Fog Cloud, featuring Crimson Glory.

    Other that the fog machine exploding, this is an amazing live rendition.

  • MIdnight's live performance is just umbelieavable

  • wow!...RIP Midnight...what a loss...

  • Would you guys buy a CD of a new band that captures these elements?

  • Yes!

  • @raptormanx Of course! Check out the band Lost Horizon. Their album A Flame To The Ground Beneath captures these elements PERFECTLY!

  • @777metalheart777 Lost Horizon has also always been far too underrated. Just discovered LH a few months ago. Daniel Heiman is a freakin' vocal god!

  • @skysoalive Lost Horizon played Red Sharks as an encore when I saw them play live in Stockholm 2003. They were great and you're right about Heiman, he blew me away.

  • @bleakexist

    I wish I could find a recording of that! :/

  • RIP Midnight.

    One of this world's Greatest lyricists and vocalist.

    Forever in our Hearts of Steel.

    See you again in Valhalla.

    Chanting!!

  • saw Crimson Glory in Providence RI on this tour, they openedfor Lizzy Borden...what a great show, still have the tour shirt! Midnight will be missed.

  • You're so lucky man! Never saw this great band, now I'll never get to see Midnight. However thinking about getting a flight down to Atlanta,GA in Sept. to see them.

  • R.I.P. Midnight.

    10.07.09

  • Seen then alot in florida.R.I.P Midnight

  • Sad day for metal.....thank you Midnight for all the great music. Great band that should have been bigger but I'm just happy to have the pleasure of hearing them.

  • ..they should have been huge....instead of some shitty bands that go to the top of the charts....but this is the way it is....excellent music is seldom for masses......the stars werent aligned or whatever...who knows......maybe was their(band members) fault too

  • RIP Midnight :-(

  • 4.29.62 - 7.8.09

    RIP MIDNIGHT

  • RIP midnight :(((((((((

  • I saw these guys in Houston Texas for the Transcendence tour, My girlfriend and I were Xing and the concert was kickass, I wish I would have been straight for the show, I remember the guy guitarist on our left was totally pissed after the show because the crowd wasn't rowdy enough for him, I guess the whole crowd was on the same drugs I was!!!!

  • Is it the Edinburgh venue

  • at 4:40...my speakers couldnt handle that scream lol.

  • It is heavy metal!!

  • I hate these guys for pissing away their careers. They may never have gotten really mega, but they would have reached quite a bit. Kills me that they didn't stick together... (And yes, I like Strange and Beutiful)

  • THE PERFECT SONG...

  • Great band! Midnight, Warrel Dane (Sanctuary), and Geoff Tate have some of the most amazing voices ever in metal!

  • AMAZING VOICE!!!!!!!!!

  • Trapped in their world no free passage to leave

    You accept their tyrannical dream

    You pray to their gods not your chosen

    ones Freedom's clutched in the jaws of

    red kings.

    Coz we must not forget that those who fought fascism became the worst dictators the world has ever seen.

  • whos gods do you pray to? communists were atheists :S

  • i like CG...this song has great music and great vocals...but the lyrics are fascistic :/ anyway,great band!

  • If you get a chanceplease check out our cover version of Red Sharks. Just click on my name

  • Midnight is so epic here.

  • jwj31 seems to be a jonas brothers worshipper....hehe

    Hail CG

  • The vocalist is awesome!!!

  • @panoschaned:

    Considering when this was written, communism was pretty much a synonym to the soviet state. I'm sure you would have loved living there, everyone was so free to express opinions or live life without the fear of persecution, torture and death... not.

  • I would trade my youth to see this concert

  • Your comment brought tears to my eyes, my friend!!I

    I saw Crimson Glory in London in the late '80s and to me, it was a gig, as any other, but to read your comment, it made me realise that, it's memories that are more important than any material wealth!

    I dont want to sound like an old man, but..Enjoy your youth!!!!!

    See and do as much as you can.!!!!

  • There's some fine music coming out of Scandinavia at the moment, but if you like 80's progressive you cant go wrong with Queensryche's The Warning and Operation Mindcrime (I'm sure you know that)...........but make sure you check out Dimmu Borgir (they are fucking BRILLIANT!!!!!!), Ensiferum, Children of Bodom when they play near to you!!!

  • Then in 20 years time, you'l have 14 year old kids telling you they would trade their youth to be at those gigs

    I wish I was 14 now!!!!!!

  • one of the best hard n heavy songs ever...

  • Trolling?That's what you call it?I call it pathetic people looking for attention.And your big payoff is when someone responds to you?You really set your sights high,that would really make my day.And how do you just stumble onto a video like this,what do you do sit around thinking what video can I go talk a bunch of shit on and hope some random person responds to me?

  • dumbfuck

  • Well, considering your apparent complete lack of any type of intelligence I don't worry much about your delusional predictions - get well soon. Judging from your other comments it seems your only reason to become a member here was trolling and/or being a total asshole. My complements on acheiving both your goals. Perhaps I should have let your dumbfuck comment talk for itself. You did a good job there... doh

  • ahahaha. I really want to know what kind of shit do you listen!

    Transcendence is a milestone of metal! You can also hear that they don't made properly progressive metal, but they made a sort of fusion between US power and progressive, they cannot be compared to shitty bands like dream theater or similar!

  • Agreed. I never saw CG as a prog rock band, more of a power metal band. Unfortunately I never got to se them which is a real bummer. I'm 41 now but still love this stuff! Yep, Old Fucker lol!!!!

  • Hallellujah

  • midnight>allothersingers

  • Awsome!!! Those where the dayz!! Thank you for upload this one!! 'Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil'

  • Midnight rules?

    No!

  • Midnight is the man !!!!

  • !!!!!!!!!!

  • A GREAT performance! Midnight is in top form vocally.

  • i agree but as a person he is an asshole

  • i was in the columbia house tape club when i received 'Transcendence'. granted, i'm a black metal/thrash fan but i've always dug Crimson Glory. so good to see live footage

  • I rate this song very high... as high as The Number of The Beast, Electric eye, Paranoid, seek and destroy... u just never tire of it!

  • The first two albums are just simply masterpeices! The stupid metal magazines in the USA should recognize that!

  • a perfect example of a timeless song. I've loved it for YEARS and it sounds as fresh today as if it was new. AWESOME!!!!

  • grandi!

  • is a craze !

  • Midnight high notes are fucking insane!!

  • Was this at the Edinburgh venue.

  • Classic CG. These guys were great.
