On November 7 at Saint Rocke in Hermosa Beach, California, the Geoff Tate-fronted version of QUEENSRŸCHE acoustically performed the entire setlist that was played by the original band during their 1992 "MTV Unplugged" show. They also played other QUEENSRŸCHE hits and favorites. Fan-filmed video footage of the concert can be seen below. "MTV Unplugged" setlist was as follows: 01. I Will Remember 02. The Killing Words 03. Della Brown 04. Silent Lucidity 05. Scarborough Fair/Canticle (SIMON & GARFUNKEL cover) 06. The Lady Wore Black 07. Anybody Listening? 08. Rockin' In The Free World (NEIL YOUNG cover) Tate's QUEENSRŸCHE now features Tate along with guitarist Kelly Gray (QUEENSRŸCHE 1998-2001), keyboardist Randy Gane and the band's latest additions, guitarist Robert Sarzo (QUIET RIOT, HURRICANE) and drummer Simon Wright (AC/DC, DIO, RHINO BUCKET). "Frequency Unknown", the new album from the Geoff Tate-fronted version of QUEENSRŸCHE, sold around 5,500 copies in its first week of release in the United States to land at position No. 82 on The Billboard 200 chart.
