AnybodyListening.net Web Site UpdatesNov. 22, 2009: Another round of ticket stub scans were added today, 17 in total. Thanks to JP for sending them along. Shows ranged from 1984 opening slots for Dio to QR's headline appearance in Ireland in 1990. So scan through the 1984-1985, 1986-1987, 1988-1989, and that one Empire gig and take a look at the various scans. Take Hold!
This update is dedicated to the memory of David "London" Ascoli, a personal friend and lifelong Queensrÿche fan who passed away on Friday, Nov. 13. Rest in peace.
Sept. 5, 2009: Today we added a new Empire-era article from RIP, courtesy of Wardy. In addition, thanks to the generous donation of photographer Hendrik Attema, we also have some live photos from Queensrÿche's performances on April 29, 1989 and Sept. 1, 1991.
Aug. 13, 2009: A new EP-era tour date has been discovered! Sept. 23, 1983, in Lubbock, Texas! Thanks to JP for pointing it out and also for ticket stubs for the Sept. 14 and Sept. 15, 1983 gigs! Those were added to the individual gig pages as well.
July 9, 2009: Updated the Mindcrime-, Empire-, and Promised Land-era sections today with new article scans, courtesy of long-time contributor "Wardy." Thanks man! Approximately 10 new scans await your reading pleasure, including a Mindcrime-era vocal interview with Geoff Tate! Take Hold!
June 5, 2009: Today we uploaded a ticket scan and advertisement scan for the Nov. 27, 1984 and Nat 8, 1991 shows, respectively. Thanks to JP for the submissions. I also added the set list from Queensrÿche's Feb. 7, 1985 gig in Las Vegas, Nev.
May 21, 2009: Thanks to Mario A., we now have a new tour date to add to the EP tour itinerary - Sept. 18, 1983, in Corpus Christi, Texas. Thanks Mario!
May 10, 2009: Happy Mother's Day out there to all the moms that are Queensrÿche fans reading this update! Today we added a number ot ticket stub scans from the Rage for Order and Building Empires tours. Specifically, new stubs are now online from 1991 gigs in Reno, Nev.; Detroit, Mich.; and Kalamazoo, Mich. In addition, a variety of the Rage for Order show pages where the band was opening for Bon Jovi have also been updated. Enjoy and Take Hold!
April 25, 2009: Received a bunch of new ticket stub, poster, and advertisement scans today, thanks to AnybodyListening.net contributor, "JP." Thanks again! Shows included a date change for the Phoenix headline show on the Rage for Order tour, a new show (Sept. 23) added to QR's support slot on the 1986 Ozzy Osbourne tour, and some various Empire era gigs. Enjoy!
April 13, 2009: Today we slightly tweaked the homepage to include a couple of new link graphics to spruce things up. We also added some color to the main intro tri-ryche graphic. In addition, one other "Easter Egg" page was uploaded. Enjoy!
April 9, 2009: Put some "Easter Egg" pages on the site today. Search around, see if you can find them. You know you hit on the right page if you see an image of an Easter Egg on the top left of the content area of a page (below the menu).
Good luck, and this isn't an "Easter-only" thing. We'll be adding more as time goes on...pages full of interesting tidbits of 'Rÿche history and goodies! Here's a hint...all the hidden pages are NOT on the tour date (individual show) pages. So look carefully through all the "era" pages and you should find them (the links to the Easter Egg pages)! ;-)
April 8, 2009: Today we added band member bio pages to AnybodyListening.net. Located directly on the front page, these pages contain a little background on each band member, their roles within Queensrÿche, some photos, and links to additional information on them on the Internet. It should be noted that the link to band member "side projects" has been removed. You'll find the link to each side project previously covered on AnybodyListening.net within these individual band member bio pages.
I'll be working (finally) on some "Easter Egg" pages later this week, right in time for the holiday. What is an "Easter Egg Page?" These pages are hidden (but you can find them) on the Web site and lead to some interesting tidbits about the band, or the history of the members before they became "Queensrÿche." I'll announce here when the first Easter Egg Pages are online. Maybe we'll even have a contest for those who find the most. So stay tuned!
April 7, 2009: Added stub scans for the Aug. 9, 1997 and July 23, 1991 shows to the archive today. In addition, we added an advertisement from Ovation that features Chris DeGarmo and Michael Wilton (along with Nancy Wilson from Heart) to the 1990-1992 section. Enjoy, and take hold!
March 17, 2009: Thanks to JP from France, we added 15 ticket stub scans to the Web site tonight, from The Warning Tour through the Building Empires Tour. Thanks JP! In addition, we discovered a new Rage for Order tour date! Jan. 24, 1987, in Biloxi, Miss. Queensrÿche was opening for RATT.
Additionally, the front page of AnybodyListening.net was slightly adjusted. The icon that led to the discussion forum, The Breakdown Room, was changed to a more comprehensive links page. Take a look at
www.anybodylistening.net/links.htmlMarch 7, 2009: Added a three-page article, from an unknown 1990 issue of a German magazine, today. Special thanks to Tom S. from Germany once again for the submission. To view the article, visit the 1990-1992 "Empire-Era" section of the Web site (it's the last article listed under "article scans").
March 5, 2009: Today we added a ticket stub and venue information for the Nov. 26, 1990 show in Munich, Germany. Special thanks to Tom S. from Germany for writing in and submitting the information and stub scan!
March 1, 2009: Yet another new EP tour date has been discovered, courtesy of Steve Mortlock. This one is Sept. 15, 1983, in Little Rock, Ark. Thanks Steve!
Feb. 12, 2009: A new EP tour date has been discovered, courtesy of Steve Mortlock. The show was on Oct. 17, 1983, in Grand Rapids, Mich., at Top of the Rock. The band opened for Twisted Sister. A concert flyer, photos and some information of the show are now online at the above link. Thanks Steve!
Feb. 2, 2009: Courtesy of Rob Evanoff (thanks Rob!) we now have a ticket stub from the Nov. 17, 1988 show in Chicago, Ill.; and an aftershow pass from the Jul. 12, 1997 show in Tinley Park, Ill.
Jan. 23, 2009: Tonight we uploaded two ticket stubs. One from the Oct. 20, 1994, performance in London and one from the Nov. 25, 1991, show in Denver. Enjoy!

Nov. 15, 1990

If anyone has any photos, ticket stub scans, or individual gig posters that they can scan and would like to contribute, please e-mail us!. Take Hold!
Dec. 2, 2008: Thanks to "gemini," I added a ticket stub scan to the May 16, 1995 page. The gig was in Tucson, Ariz. In addition, I also re-activated the show pages for the July 27-28, 2001 shows in the Kelly Gray era of the Alternate Lineups section. For some reason, they were not linked. My apologies. Just a reminder, however, that I no longer keep any of the non-original lineup material current.
Nov. 23, 2008: Thanks to "hard2handell," today I added two color photos and a ticket stub scan to the Dec. 6, 1986 show opening for Bon Jovi in Sweden.
Nov. 17, 2008: Tonight I uploaded a ticket stub from the Aug. 3, 1986 show opening for AC/DC. The concert-goer wrote in the supporting act (QR) on the ticket stub.
Nov. 4, 2008: Added a few more stub scans today, including a newly-discovered tour date - Oct. 12, 1983, in Kansas City, opening for Twisted Sister!

As I mentioned in the last update, I'll be continuing to add stuff to the site as I find new live photos from shows, stub/pass scans, etc., from the original lineup of Queensrÿche If you find anything, please go ahead and send it to me! Take Hold!
Oct. 28, 2008: Tonight I uploaded a few very cool scans I found online. First, the front and back of a backstage pass for the Oct. 9, 1983 show in Reseda, Calif. The next was a VIP pass from Queensrÿche's July 12, 1985 performance in Hollywood, Calif., where they debuted "Neue Regel" live for the first. Finally, I upgraded the ticket stub scan from the May 12, 1989 show in Irvine, Calif.
I'm glad you all liked the front page re-design from last month! I've gotten tons of compliments on it. Thanks! That design will stick for a good long while, as quite honestly, I'm pretty fond of it myself! I'll be continuing, as always, to add stuff to the site as I find new live photos from shows, stub/pass scans, etc. If you find anything, please go ahead and send it to me! Take Hold!
Oct. 6, 2008: Added a couple of concert ticket stubs to the site the past couple of weeks. The two most recent were for the Sept. 17 and Sept. 18, 1991 shows in Dortmond, Germany.
Sept. 20, 2008: Today we re-designed the index/intro page to site. Hope you enjoy the new look. Inspiration for the change comes from none other than Kevin Scurlock, webmaster of GeoffTate.com. Kevin decided to launch a new version of Tate's Web site and I finally got the motivation to update our front page to a new design I had rolling around in my head. Thanks Kevin! Enjoy everyone!
Sept. 9, 2008: AnybodyListening.net is proud to announce the launching of its official Myspace page! Located at
www.myspace.com/anybodylistening156, log-on today and add us as a friend!
July 12, 2008: Tonight we added 25 pages of article scans to various sections of the site. Specifically, look for 14 new pages in the 1990-1992 area, 10 article page scans in the 1994-1995 section and one (1) review of Operation: Mindcrime in the 1988-1989 section. Many thanks to Wardy for the scans!
June 15, 2008: Added stub scans/photos to 18 assorted Queensrÿche shows to the tour date archives. Mostly from the Warning and Rage for Order tours. Thanks to JP for the stubs!
June 12, 2008: Claudio E. has submitted a ticket stub and photos from the Dec. 13, 1997 show, which was the last gig Chris DeGarmo played with Queensrÿche. Thanks Claudio!
That said, while a ticket stub exists, these items put into question the validity of the Dec. 12, 1997 show, of which a ticket stub also exists. Since this festival, to my knowledge was a one-day affair, I'm not quite sure the Dec. 12 gig is accurate. But because we have multiple stubs, I am going to leave it up there in the archive.
March 29, 2008: Added a new section to the site today, entitled "Post-2003." This area will chronicle the times Chris DeGarmo and his Queensrÿche bandmates get together to work on music together. If at some point, there is ever a formal reunion, a new section will be created to recognize that.
In addition, I'm slowly starting to work on cleaning up the Side-Solo Projects section and I'm also starting to bounce ideas around regarding the front page of the Web site for a small re-design. Don't worry, the content layout will remain the same, I'm just looking for a new home page design.
Feb. 18, 2008: This evening I updated the site's layout to remove most (hopefully all) the iFrames. This should make the site display better with modern flat screen (and bigger) monitors and also allow for better indexing from search engines.
Jan. 17, 2008: Added a couple of magazine and trade advertisements to the 1984-1985 Era section today.
Dec. 28, 2007: Thanks to "JP," we now have a new EP-era tour date! Oct. 9, 1983 from Reseda, Calif. Look closely at the ticket stub, and you'll see that Queensryche's name was pretty mangled! Also added three more ticket stubs to the tour archive for the following gigs:
Jan. 30, 1985 - San Antonio, Texas
Jan. 31, 1985 - Houston, Texas
Feb. 17, 1985 - Long Beach, Calif.
Dec. 27, 2007: Updated both the 1984-1985 and 1986-1987 era sections today. For the former, I adjusted the existing tour dates to clarify that the band's headline show at Harpo's in Detroit was indeed on Dec. 10, 1984. Thanks to Scott K. for the clarification, and hey, send in those ticket stubs! Speaking of which, I also added a stub from Queensryche's gig on Nov. 30, 1984 at L'Amour in Brooklyn!
In regard to the Rage Tour update, I added a new tour date! Feb. 20, 1987 at L'Amour East. As many of you know, the band closed their east coast Rage Tour dates with a string of shows at the various L'Amour clubs in NYC and Long Island. This was a date we did not have posted. Also added a ticket stub from that show.
Finally, I completely re-wrote the 1998-2001 era history. That's now online. Happy reading!
Nov. 28, 2007: Had another fan who attended the Sept. 20, 1983 Queensrÿche-Quiet Riot show write in with further details and a ticket stub! Thanks Gilbert! In addition, Gilbert also provided a ticket stub from the band's Oct. 6, 1986 gig in Austin, Texas. I also added a photo of Geoff Tate that was part of the "Hit Parader 1997 Geoff Tate Interview" to the 1996-1997 section. Thanks to "Giorno" from The Breakdown Room, this site's discussion forum, for the scan.
Oct. 28, 2007: Listening to Take Cover today (see The Breakdown Room, this site's message board, for the legal pre-release stream of the entire Queensrÿche covers album), I decided to go ahead and upload all that Operation: Mindcrime-era material I mentioned yesterday. Visit the 1988-1989 section for the scans, particularly the "Misc. Scans" and "Band Photos" areas. Enjoy! More updates on the horizon...Take Hold!
Oct. 27, 2007: I added some scans and photos from the 1990-1992 section today. Did the same thing with the 1996-1997 section as well, uploading about 15 advertisements, photos, and other scans.
I still have a host of Operation: Mindcrime-era photos and promotional materials to add to the site, along with some candid photography of Queensrÿche backstage in the early years and during in-store appearances. I'll try to get to that soon.
Oct. 12, 2007: I added some leftover scans I had lying around for the 2002-2003 section tonight. A few promotional posters and a bio on the band from that release. More misc. scans from other eras are coming soon (a lot, actually). I just have to sit down and code all the pages at some point in the next few weeks.
Oct. 7, 2007: Uploaded some new band photos, candid shots, and misc. scans to the 1984-1985, 1986-1987, and 1994-1995 sections today.
Oct. 3, 2007: Thanks to Michael S., a new show has been discovered! Oct. 18, 1986 at the Arco Arena in Sacramento, Calif. This was a headline gig for the band. Added the show info and ticket stub. Thanks Mike!
Sept. 30, 2007: Added a bunch of new ticket stubs from the Building Empires tour today. Thanks to Michael S. for the 11-7-91, 6-5-91, 7-17-91, and 7-19-91 info and scans!
Sept. 27, 2007: Sorry for the long delay in updates. Been a busy month. I added some new navigation to the site. Now when you click on a band era (1981-1983, 1996-1997, etc.), there will be a "site navigation bar" at the top, so you can quickly go back and forth between eras. In addition, the "Side-Solo Projects" and "Alt. Lineups" sections have been retained but slightly moved below the update section.
I have a bunch of scans and candid photos to add to the site in October, so be on the lookout!
Aug. 25, 2007: Thanks once again to J.P., I added a bunch of new ticket stub scans today, mostly to the 1981-1983 and 1984-1985 sections of the site.
In addition, J.P. uncovered the ticket stub from Chris DeGarmo's last show with the band (to date) - Dec. 12, 1997. The 1996-1997 section has been updated accordingly.
Aug. 24, 2007: A small update today. First, thanks to Bruce M., a new tour date was uncovered - Jan. 4, 1985, Twin Lakes, Wis. The show was a headline gig and held at a small bar called The Edgewater. Thanks Bruce!
I also added the Sign of the Times: The Very Best of Queensrÿche release to the 2002-2003 section of the site. I did this because the song "Justified," which will be released next week, was originally written during this time period by Chris DeGarmo for Tribe, but was left incomplete when he left the band again.
It was finished and recorded by Queensrÿche earlier this year, but since I didn't want to start an entire new section of the site for just one song, and the song actually was meant and was written for Tribe, I stuck the info there. In fact, do yourselves all a favor, delete "Losing Myself" out of your i-Pod, and put "Justified" in its place. Then you have a true original lineup Queensrÿche album. ;o)
No, I haven't forgotten about the promotional scans I mentioned in my last update. I have them, it's just been really busy and I haven't gotten to uploading them (hey, it takes a long time to code things piece by piece). I'll get to it soon.
Aug. 4, 2007: I added a ton of promotional advertisement scans and band photos to the site today. Take a look in all sections from 1981 through 1997 for the new additions.
I've got a ton more to add, including some candid backstage photos from the mid-1980s and various other promotional item scans, etc. I'll be getting to that stuff later this month. Stay tuned, and Take Hold!
