      True but there's an era for all kinds of music and the era of this kind has passed. But, Queensryche still performs and so does Geoff Tate. They both do a good job, with old and new songs and I love both parties. In September I will attend a show of Geoff Tate and you know in advance that it will be a party!! The man can still sing and he is an entertainer 'pur sang'! Gives me goose bumps all the time.. Perhaps no arena's but then again, the current venues are much more intimate.

    I've watched the new front man for Queensryche, and I'm sorry, I don't see it. Not the same at all, or even close. The old Geoff cannot be replaced. Never. Ever. I wound up seeing Geoff with his new band, and they're really good! I was surprised. I'm so happy to see him doing what he loves. And it shows.

      I was there at that concert with you (not with you personally but) I was maybe 20 ft from the stage for the entirety of the show and I sang along every song with them. There is this one little tiny blonde girl she was probably 13 or 14 couldn't have been 4'10" and she couldn't see a damn thing So me and this other guy who was there we alternated holding her up on our shoulders for about 20 minutes at a time throughout the night. But my highlight was when this gorgeous little blonde wearing leopard print spandex and a leather teddy and stiletto heel boots walked up to me and said You look nice can I stand here with you and I said sure and she stood in front of me and then backed her hips right up into me and stood there and just danced and moved her hips against mine for the rest of the night The music and the mood was glorious! No sir I will never forget that night It was bar none the best concert but it was the best because Queensryche was the most talented and skilled band I've ever seen in a live performance I could not believe that they could reproduce their sound so flawlessly!

      One of my favorite bands too. One time I saw them at a small venue, I'm pretty short so I had to get upfront by the stage. Sooooo glad I did!!! I sang every song they played. Towards the end of the show they played Eyes of a Stranger and Geoff had on really dark shades. When Geoff sang "Lies behind my Stare" he then took them off and reached out for my hand!!! I went crazy! Everyone around me was like holy crap, he took my hand!!! I really miss the original Queensryche. Miss you Geoff. Unforgettable memory!! 😎❤️

    I used to setup for Queensryche back in the 80's when the got going. I was at every show until recently when I retired. These live performances of Mindcrime were my favorite. I remember when they used to open for Metallica. The crowds did not want Metallica to come out. This came out in 88. They continued to play the whole concert until 92 I think. After that it was abridged somewhat but the crowds still loved it. Even through the Empire days.

    I was blown away from this. It sounds just like the real audio CD. Absolutely amazing!! What a great band, great musicians!! Chris DeGarmo, and Michael Wilton jammed away some great guitars, Eddie Jackson on that Bass, and Scott Rockenfield on that cool drum set back there. This is what REAL metal music should sound like. I think this was their very best album: HANDS DOWN!! Queensryche completely blew that stage away that night I'm shure. Geoff Tate's voice really comes out too, like the leader he is. Also yes: this great band should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!!!!

      I saw the same shows in Phoenix and San Diego. I was already a huge fan from the Warning album, and where I was sitting we could see back stage too, and it was so cool seeing them huddle before coming out on stage (the Ozzy show). They were so nervous back stage, and such pros on stage.
      I loved each of their shows but the Mind Crime they got to headline and do all the effects seen here, and my only complaint, that it all started to fade away too soon after. The next two albums were incredible, but then came the splintering in Hear in the New Frontier, an unlistenable album, and I take zero pleasure saying that. Chris left to become a pilot for Fed-Ex (dang! but I am told he loves it), and the next album was really good again, then the roller coaster and final split and splat.

I'm thinking it was Master right after Metallica stopped opening for ozzy. Not sure how meny if any Stadiums they played, but they would have thrived in a stadium with concept album props. Few bands I like in Stadiums. Just saw another band I happen like,especially early days stuff, that I've seen in small and large venues the blew me away in raw power and volume for a stadium...

I was into them from day one. I remember seeing the ad for Mindcrime in the rock mags comparing it to The Wall.
