Gary Lenaire, Guy Ritter & Luke Easter - Tourniquet tribute band live at Immortal Fest 2024 video clips
For those who didn't know, former members of Tourniquet, Gary Lenaire, Guy Ritter and Luke Easter shared the stage in a Tourniquet tribute band called StB (Stop the Bleeding) in the 27th of July 2024.
For fans of Tourniquet and Christian metal in general it was a historic moment.
This was the first time since 1993 Guy Ritter, the lead vocalist of the first three Tourniquet albums, had performed Tourniquet songs live on stage since his departure from the band.
It was also the first time since 1996 Gary Lenaire had played Tourniquet songs live on stage.
Luke Easter was the vocalist of Tourniquet from 1993 to 2015 and it was the first time he's been involved with anything Tourniquet related in a decade.
And the biggest surprise of them all, both Guy Ritter and Luke Easter shared the stage and sang together in the encore songs - for the Christian Metal scene this was pretty much the same as when Helloween started to play live with Michael Kiske, Andi Deris and Kai Hansen sharing the stage.
The rest of the band consists of Anna Sentina on bass, Neil Swanson on guitar and Devin Chaulk (Haste the Day) on drums.
The setlist was:
The Test for Leprosy
Ark of Suffering
Phantom Limb
Tourniquet Medley
-Psycho Surgery, Stereotaxic Atrocities, Somnambulism, Exoskeletons, The Skeezix Dilemma, Carry the Wounded, Viento Borrascoso
Vanishing Lessons
Acid Head
Pecking Order
Broken Chromosomes
Pathogenic Ocular Dissonance
Here are ALL of the videos I've been able to find on Youtube:

For me that was both interesting and encouraging. They could potentially move forward with it without being accused of tarnishing a legacy or moving on without Ted.
That said, it was amazing to witness and I was left wanting a lot more!

In this one we can hear the audience singing along:
This one has a speech at the end with the introduction of the band:

This batch of videos has Pecking Order too.
I think the only song we haven't yet heard is Phantom Limb. Not sure if they played it. It was in their set list and Gary posted a short rehearsal clip of it a while ago on Facebook. For some reason I haven't yet seen a single video of that.

Here's that moment!
Luke took it with good humor, it was a funny moment
In this video of the Medley we hear people chanting Tourniquet more:
Luke handled that perfectly!
I like it how the audience got the Tourniquet chants out of their system (hey, who wouldn't want to yell Tourniquet in front of Guy and Gary!!) and looks like it was quite the blast from the past for Guy and Gary too. And when it continued later Luke managed to fix the situation with respect and humor and the audience reacted back with respect and humor.
These videos by Adam on Youtube from almost the front row are fantastic! Not only they look and sound great and you can hear a lot of audience reactions, but these videos also have speeches etc included!
I wonder if I could compile and edit a full show with these videos. I'd love to do that but I might not have time to do that. And we're still missing the Phantom Limb video that for some reason no-one has uploaded it on Youtube yet.

That would also include the Sweden show (in March). Both are in the not too distant future.
The way you wrote the last post, it sounded like there was a third surprise coming down the pike.
But it’s cool that there will be at least two more STB shows!
I’m all for an annual STB “Tourniquet tribute” every year. It sucks when an irreplaceable member or members die from a band… obviously the Tourniquet name is retired. There will be nothing like what Pantera is doing now without Dime and Vinnie. But hearing the surviving members playing the songs live is still wonderful. Just like STB is doing.
