It’s hard to believe how emotional I get at 54 years old listening to Mind Crime live. Got to see a live crime show and it takes you back to a better time. These guys will NEVER be replaced or replicated and there will never be another series of music produced from Mind Crime to Empire. I had my 20 year old son throw on head sets and start this video. At the end of eyes of a stranger he says holy shit dad how can we see them play live. I said in my past life only.
56 here, this was my band and this is amazing, but Sleep Token has far exceeded this for my what my mind needs. But yes, better times, much better times.
All orig members. What talent these guys had and what an amazing time in music it was. Queensryche will always be connected to my teen years. I miss the days when rock and metal ruled the world
Wish I could have seen them live all the originals. Chris DeGarmo’s guitar playing would have been amazing to witness in person. All of these guys are amazing musicians
@@richard6704 so jealous my man. I wish I could have been there for this. I was in middle school when “Empire” came out and that was my first exposure to Queensryche: I didn’t get to appreciate Mind Crime until I was older. Happy you got to see and hear this masterpiece live
I can’t tell from this concert video?! Too much post production lip syncing and drum fills added that were not coming from Tate’s mouth or from the drummer on the video! Shouldn’t have done that - So I can’t buy your assertion.
The original Queensryche band is my favourite all time band. This is an awesome rock opera….Geoff Tate’s vocals are amazing and all of the band members are masters of their craft! I absolutely love the vocals and composition coupled with stories they portray through their music. I was a huge fan in the 80s and 90s and continue to be mesmerized by their original music. Thanks so much for posting this concert!
This album has walked beside me my whole life. Nothing else makes me cry, air guitar, scream, gives me goose bumps and burst of serotonin like this does. Truly amazing work.
I agree full heartedly. You put it words that that I never could but it's been a great ride and I hope that when people think of me when I'm gone that when ever they listen to this album or hear a song from it, they think of me. May this Album walk with me from here, all the way to the other side.

It's amazing how relevant this album is in 2023. Queensryche was the 3rd live concert I ever saw, 15 yrs old, in what is now a long list. I have this show on VHS, and I wore it out because i watched it so much. To me... it was our "The Wall".
Every song continues the story! Mindcrime is probably more relevant today than it was in 88! A true masterpiece that speaks Truth about the corruption/evil of both government and organized religion. This album has stood and will stand the test of time long after we're gone. Thank you for posting this!
The lyrical line that stands out for me and couldn't be any more true is the line " I use to think america's way was right" No other lyrical line deserves more respect for courage to speak truth than that line.
Best live performance Ive heard....been a fan for a long time, always come back to this live performance now and then to remind myself what an amazing band they were.

One of the greatest albums of all time! 💯🎵 I had the cassette tape in my Walkman everyday when I would skateboard to school and back for the whole year! Nothing else could touch this album and still can’t top 5 albums ever!!!
Saw Queensrÿche at Donnington's Monster of Rock in '91. Being out in the sunshine didn't alter their stage presence one bit, just an amazing sound. Operation: Livecrime is still an awesome album to this day...and that performance by Pamela Moore stills gives me goosebumps.
I have just seen Geoff Tate perfoming this album live a few days ago. Even tho i am at least born 20 years too late, i still love this album so much and it was awesome to see Geoff sing it live.
You know, I never hear how unique these two guitarists are. Been playing drums for 38 years; never heard anyone quite like them. They leave so much space to let the songs breathe, but they aren't lazy, either. You guys are the Best.❤
Damn right. I saw Metallica September 8th, 1989 and as soon as we heard about the show we immediately got tickets thinking Queensryche was still on the tour. My buddy had seen them earlier in the year together and he said it was the most incredible thing he's ever witnessed. Unfortunately by the time I caught Metallica in SLC the opener was Faith No More. None of us had ever heard of them and we were extremely disappointed. Needless to say us little teenage Metallica freaks were not kind to FNM. I never was able to catch Tate era Queensryche. A huge regret to this day.
@@blackiesavage7661 That's another story. Not too long after the Metallica show my buddy bought TRT and came and picked me up so we could cruise around and listen to the disc. It was fucking amazing. They just sounded really bad live. One of our other buddies at the Metallica show was all the way up at the top of the cheap seats and he said they sounded killer. Live and learn.
I'm the same age as you. At the right age to enjoy many years of real rock and roll. There's nothing now as far as that kind of music. So I listen to 45 years worth of great tunes .
I think I saw Livecrime about three times over the years. Never disappointed. QR was ridiculously tight and near flawless live in the late 80s early 90s.

That snare drum did in fact sound like a cannon in person! Talk about a tight band - they were locked in. I agree with other commenters that Chris DeGarmo was underrated (outside of musician circles anyway). What a phenomenal player.

@@nicefish10 It was fairly common back then (less so now) to combine performances from multiple nights (and in this case some staged performance shots), so I can see where there could be inconsistencies. Also not uncommon to re-record audio in post for live gigs. My point was the live show, in the room, sounded amazing.
Did you see the show with Building Empires and Operation MindCrime? Where Tate had the Stage length Treadmill across the back and he would start singing while walking in place and build up to running at full speed while singing, then Bamm he stops and he launches across the stage at the speed he was running .. then went into it again.. Then he had a basketball hoop and was making shots from cross Full stage, nothing but net, never missing... while singing.. It was insane... Seattle Key Arena New Years Eve...
I saw this one live Little Rock Arkansas back in the day. I have been to a lot of Rock concerts. This one was the all time great. Amazing talent and just an awesome performance. This is how bands were before autotune. They actually played and sang. Great stuff from a seemingly better time...
After watching him sing take hold of the flame...i wished i could sing with that range... one of my many musical inspirations. Even my wife loved this.
well after hearing more of this cool concept album and with a singer like geoff tate with his range and the harmonizing vocals and guitars and its progressive metal from seattle washington
PHENOMENAL...... The spiritual vibe is mesmerizing. In 88 I was 20, lived in Arlington Tx, had a lil run with methamphetamines and listening to this album was other worldly! Listening now is like a time machine!
That base line at 59:49 just pounding and Chris DeGarmo having the time of his life. Imagine being able to play at this level. Just incredible. This album is so damn good. Thank you for posting this!
My first stadium concert in '91! I was hooked immediately! Just saw them again this past Friday, and they were just as amazing with La Torre! I was impressed!
Best line up of the best bands of the 80's. Damn, these guys were so talented and so underrated. I NEVER understood that!! They were phenomenal. I so very wish they were still together making music.
I went to two nights of the Building Empires tour that this was from: 12/31/1991 and 01/01/1992 Seattle Center Coliseum. Absolutely amazing performance both nights.
I had this in my Discman for literally 2 years. Still gives me chills. I saw them in Greensboro on this tour. Flawless. DeGarmo was the soul of this band.
Thank you and God bless you so much for posting this. I haven't seen this in what feels like a century no joke. Seeing this and hearing that music takes me back 32 years to when I was a teenager with six of the best friends of my life. Wherever they are, God please be with them.
The thing about Queensryche is they started a self made trend, no one could produce this sound with storytelling in their music… which leaves this band standing atop of their own amazing mountain. I love Queesryche they are totally unique.
They were great. But storytelling was , is, and will always be Pink Floyd. And before anyone argues, just search some interviews from Tate in the 90s. His own words show Floyd as being his own inspiration for the whole album. But they were, in fact, awesome and standing alone.
Bands like Pink Floyd and The Who would disagree with your assessment. Mindcrime is a great album (one of my all time favorites) but it followed a little used trend started by the two bands mentioned.
@@surreal1272 Doing what two other bands out of thousands had done many years before - I wouldn't necessarily call that a "used" trend. It's like calling a book author a cheap copy because he writes a book - something millions of people have done before him. Looking at Operation Mindcrime, it was totally unique in its own right, a style of music unknown to any other bands out there, and the ferocity of politicised lyrics with its stark criticism of American society - well, there weren't that many bands out there outside the punk scene that dared that. And I'd like to underline all that by pointing out that even Queensryche couldn't repeat the album, even though they tried so hard with Mindcrime II and, at least in parts, with Empire.
Was in Lakewood at pizza and pipes...lady walks up to and my brother and asks if we listen to rock n roll, we say ya,... she asks if we ever heard of Judas priest... we say ya... she says I met them the other day my son is in a band called queensriech have you heard of them....blew us away it was Geofs mom....sorry if I spelled your name wrong...either way wonderful lady, we talked about how they played at all kinds of keg parties and so on thank you all of you guys...years later got talk to chris and Jerry Cantrell, scott vanderpool the awesome DJ from pnw. Love you guys. Thank you so much.
Amazing to be there live and amazing to relive it through this video! There just is NOT anything comparable to the sheer "EPICNESS" of this album!! Fuck me they were SOOOO good!!!!
Love how in Revolution Calling Geoff put his mic out to the crowd and they shouted the lyrics back at him at the top of their lungs. So sad that the pinnacle of rock and metal music was 30-40 years ago and we may never see that kind of magic ever again. Amazing how many of us wish we had time machines.
My dad saw these guys in 89 with Metallica when he was 15, like I'm sure some of you here did, said he was blown away and became hooked on Queenryche, Scott Rockenfield had a badass drum kit. when I was growing up he would have Queensryche on his playlists but I didn't pay attention to bands until I hit my music years at 13-14. He bought this dvd and would put it on, I recognized the songs and got hooked on Queensryche!!! one badass era of music, especially with Chris Degarmo on guitar
I saw them at LaMour East in Queens NY back in 1987....I was 10 feet from the band. Geoff Tate vocals were so powerful that certain segments of songs he did't even use his Mic.....It was around Valentines day and we were packed in there like sardines but it was absolutely fucking amazing! I would've never thought they'd play a club like that but they did and I was fucking there.....
🎉❤ divinely gifted all the five original band members. They play super rock with power perfection and precision. And what a wonderful 😊👍 time period 79 to 90. Iam grateful to the nav graha at the time of birth for letting me hear this smashing super music composer and musician and songs. From DZ Kottayam 🏙️🌆 City of Kerala state South India salute you sir ji.
Dude, I was introduced to QR music back in 1990 and a metal~head friend of mine had me getting into the metal scene at age 16 and so he introduced me to j priest, iron maiden, krokus, accept, motor head. And the list goes on and on.. but anyways, I remember silent lucidity was their big hit in 91 that put them on the map of metal rock music and so I bought the cassette and had no idea of their past albums until my friend gave me "the warning" album and said "hey check out their early stuff and this is their first album I believe and I was in love with that original sound that no one else was even close to it and so after that I followed up with " rage for order and obviously "mind crime" next and so I've been a huge fan ever since 💯 and thank God for having metal head friends 💯❤️💯🤟✌️
Saw Geoff Tate perform mindcrime live 2 weeks ago. I've seen a lot of bands live, and no one comes close to Geoff. He still sounds like the studio version. It was amazing!
Saw this show twice: 10th row in Miami then backstage in Orlando. All access passes to both shows. Only the birth of my son ranks higher as the greatest experience of my entire life.
I can’t tell from this concert video?! Too much post production lip syncing and drum fills added that were not coming from Tate’s mouth or from the drummer on the video! Shouldn’t have done that - So I can’t buy your assertion.
Loved them from the OG. Moved to Seattle in 80s (parents did) and was spoiled by their local shows. My wife of 30 years and I went on our 3rd-4th date to see them New Years Eve 1991. I had seen this concert previously. When DeGarmo left it was the start of the end but without Tate it is no longer QR at all. Wish they would get together for ONE show in the PNW.
Saw OMC in its entirety on the Empire tour in June 5 1991 at the Civic Arena. I remember everything from that day including waiting for Suicidal Tendencies to be done. The experience is burned in my memory. I remember feeling the music and singing every lyric with my girl. Then 25 years later saw Geoff again play OMC again. It’s one of the few days I’ve felt most alive.
Simply one of the greatest albums ever made.
Moe?
It's coming in to play in real life in real time and is unbelievably crazy to watch it happen, knowing it was going to. 😢
Absolutely. They were talking about the 1 percent ruling the country even back then. Nothing has changed.
EVER MADE!!! Yes!!!
I concur, a brilliant live band…saw them a couple of times in the mid 80s, operation mindcrime is without doubt one of the very best albums ever.
It's 2024 and this album of more relevant than ever.
At 61 I still crank this album with headphones and definitely brings back memories. Sister Mary
With you. These days are crazy
Same
us old fools lived through a time when some of the best music ever was made.
61 give it 😂up over 😂 hill
Same here!
Scott Rockenfield is criminally underrated. A monster drummer
He's a true beast!!!
Getting chills and goosebumps what an incredible band🙆🙏💯🎶🙋
Dude! Exactly!
Amen!!
Indeed ❣️
It’s hard to believe how emotional I get at 54 years old listening to Mind Crime live. Got to see a live crime show and it takes you back to a better time. These guys will NEVER be replaced or replicated and there will never be another series of music produced from Mind Crime to Empire. I had my 20 year old son throw on head sets and start this video. At the end of eyes of a stranger he says holy shit dad how can we see them play live. I said in my past life only.
This boxed set was the reason that I started playing guitar. I saw DeGarmo and Wilton and thought, I want to be them.
I couldn’t have said it better myself. I was fortunate to see this show as well. Best show I’ve ever seen to this day.
56 here, this was my band and this is amazing, but Sleep Token has far exceeded this for my what my mind needs. But yes, better times, much better times.
I just saw Geoff do Mindcrime live. He was amazing.
You are by far the coolest dad ever besides me lol rock on buddy
Operation Mindcrime is an absolute masterpiece. Scott Rockenfield is a beast of a drummer and never go the credit he deserved.
I couldn't agree more. The drumming on this album is fucking brilliant, and the sound of that snare is beautiful.
Operation Mindcrime - One of the best music albums ever made on this planet.
All orig members. What talent these guys had and what an amazing time in music it was. Queensryche will always be connected to my teen years. I miss the days when rock and metal ruled the world

I attempted to sing Geoff tate
He is so dynamic!!!
👍
I agree full heartedly. You put it words that that I never could but it's been a great ride and I hope that when people think of me when I'm gone that when ever they listen to this album or hear a song from it, they think of me. May this Album walk with me from here, all the way to the other side.

there's nothing really special about the drumming. It's solid but that's pretty much it. Nothing crazy, nothing special
Grew up listening to these guys, outstanding singing, drumming, guitars, never get tired of the queensryche!
It's amazing how relevant this album is in 2023. Queensryche was the 3rd live concert I ever saw, 15 yrs old, in what is now a long list. I have this show on VHS, and I wore it out because i watched it so much. To me... it was our "The Wall".
It is truly our "The Wall". It is so relevant that it could have been released last week.
this is one of the best hard rock band ever!
Yes,,, sooo relevant for today,,, makes you wonder how they knew!!!!!!!
@@davidlaws1438It's never been any different.
This live show still blows my mind 30 years later!!
I’m 52 yers old now and this is still the best concert I’ve ever been to…

Sure they did
I believe you .

I saw this show from the 7th row at the Providence Civic Center. One of the greatest concert experiences I have ever had.
Lucky guy!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
I was right behind you in the eighth row. I’ll never forget it! Hands down the best show ever!! Masters at their craft!

Operation Mindcrime is My Favorite Album of ALL TIME !!! 😎
There was absolutely no way they could ever top this album . It is an epic concept album .😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
Empire was a pretty great follow up…lol
These guys hit the ground running with their first album and just got better from there.
The tightest live band and most talented metal band, period. Every member is a virtuoso. Hands down my favorite band of all time!!!
Most artists these days wouldn't be able to pull this off in studio much less LIVE
For shure
All good bands are better live
Nope, not most... Nobody!😉

@@RB-oc7ti Just shut up
If I was stranded on a deserted island with only one album to listen to, this would be the one!
I would have to go with Live After Death but I would want to have this one too.
If we could only right the wrongs, convince them to forgive one another, and deliver music that is truly unparalleled to this day...
Geoff can't sing anymore. It'd be drop tuned and not original in anyway
Sorry to bother. I enjoy the band, what happened that cause the breakup? I did not look into it. Thanks!
Geoff was so intelligent and very down to earth

They had a couple of sound guys back then that are still very active today. Brad Maddox and Alex Raphael.

One of the best bands / musicians to Grace the music scene from the 80s and beyond ...
well after hearing more of this cool concept album and with a singer like geoff tate with his range and the harmonizing vocals and guitars and its progressive metal from seattle washington
Thanks a lot ! Great concert and great music ; probably the best Metal Concept Album all times for me ! :)
It's right there with The Wall, for me. And I saw that PF show, in LA
PHENOMENAL...... The spiritual vibe is mesmerizing. In 88 I was 20, lived in Arlington Tx, had a lil run with methamphetamines and listening to this album was other worldly! Listening now is like a time machine!
Mike L said it best ,"Simply one of the greatest albums ever made".🤘😆🤟
Greatest album ever made. By the greatest band to ever exist.
MY Goodness What a freaking Album!!!
Best concert I've ever been to in my entire 50 years of life!
This is the only album I listen to without skipping a track.
Also rage of order 😊
I was there! Well, the parts filmed in Milwaukee, anyway. The video doesn't do justice to how amazing this was in person.
That base line at 59:49 just pounding and Chris DeGarmo having the time of his life. Imagine being able to play at this level. Just incredible. This album is so damn good. Thank you for posting this!
My first stadium concert in '91! I was hooked immediately! Just saw them again this past Friday, and they were just as amazing with La Torre! I was impressed!
Best line up of the best bands of the 80's. Damn, these guys were so talented and so underrated. I NEVER understood that!! They were phenomenal. I so very wish they were still together making music.
They had big time airplay on FM rock stations and sold millions of albums. Sold out concert venues .How is that underrated ?
Scott had one of the coolest & iconic drum set cages PERIOD!
I went to two nights of the Building Empires tour that this was from: 12/31/1991 and 01/01/1992 Seattle Center Coliseum. Absolutely amazing performance both nights.
I had this in my Discman for literally 2 years. Still gives me chills. I saw them in Greensboro on this tour. Flawless. DeGarmo was the soul of this band.
It's amazing whenever I listen to this album. They are one of the few bands rock my soul.
Thank you and God bless you so much for posting this. I haven't seen this in what feels like a century no joke. Seeing this and hearing that music takes me back 32 years to when I was a teenager with six of the best friends of my life. Wherever they are, God please be with them.
AMAIZING!!! KILLER SEEING THIS CONCERT LIVE!!
Absolutely fantastic I see them 3 times live montage mountain Scranton Pennsylvania Scott the drummer is amazing.
This is what happens when passion, hard work, and a dream come to fruition!! Simply amazing!!! Thank you to all the unseen that made this happen!
This masterpiece needs to be remastered in 4k goodness!!!!!!!!!!!!

@@SteveSparx even better!!😎🤓
Simply one of the Best Bands ever!!!
It's like a spiritual experience every time I watch this. So great and moving
I saw this tour with the full stage production. Is was epic.
Me too. In Miami.
The thing about Queensryche is they started a self made trend, no one could produce this sound with storytelling in their music… which leaves this band standing atop of their own amazing mountain. I love Queesryche they are totally unique.
They were great. But storytelling was , is, and will always be Pink Floyd. And before anyone argues, just search some interviews from Tate in the 90s. His own words show Floyd as being his own inspiration for the whole album. But they were, in fact, awesome and standing alone.
Bands like Pink Floyd and The Who would disagree with your assessment. Mindcrime is a great album (one of my all time favorites) but it followed a little used trend started by the two bands mentioned.
@@surreal1272 Doing what two other bands out of thousands had done many years before - I wouldn't necessarily call that a "used" trend. It's like calling a book author a cheap copy because he writes a book - something millions of people have done before him. Looking at Operation Mindcrime, it was totally unique in its own right, a style of music unknown to any other bands out there, and the ferocity of politicised lyrics with its stark criticism of American society - well, there weren't that many bands out there outside the punk scene that dared that. And I'd like to underline all that by pointing out that even Queensryche couldn't repeat the album, even though they tried so hard with Mindcrime II and, at least in parts, with Empire.

Alice Coopers Welcome to my Nightmare proceeded Mindcrime by about 15 years - but this I agree is sheer brilliance
Was in Lakewood at pizza and pipes...lady walks up to and my brother and asks if we listen to rock n roll, we say ya,... she asks if we ever heard of Judas priest... we say ya... she says I met them the other day my son is in a band called queensriech have you heard of them....blew us away it was Geofs mom....sorry if I spelled your name wrong...either way wonderful lady, we talked about how they played at all kinds of keg parties and so on thank you all of you guys...years later got talk to chris and Jerry Cantrell, scott vanderpool the awesome DJ from pnw. Love you guys.
Thank you so much.
Incredible! Freaking amazing band and performance!
My all-time favorite album and concert.
Amazing to be there live and amazing to relive it through this video! There just is NOT anything comparable to the sheer "EPICNESS" of this album!! Fuck me they were SOOOO good!!!!
To this day... One of the BEST shows I ever saw
the last remnants of the stellar '80s tone. so good!
This is the result of the perfect confluence of talent. Pretty much as flawless a show ever recorded.
Imagine Dream Theater with this vocalist
Love how in Revolution Calling Geoff put his mic out to the crowd and they shouted the lyrics back at him at the top of their lungs. So sad that the pinnacle of rock and metal music was 30-40 years ago and we may never see that kind of magic ever again. Amazing how many of us wish we had time machines.
This album is a masterpiece
Unbelievable, at 51 I rock out to the real Queensryche, it’s a shame they are not together. How awesome is this concert? Fn awesome
We saw Geoff Tate two years ago and he sounded just as good if not better than this. I'd pay to hear him sing the phone book! 🤘
My dad saw these guys in 89 with Metallica when he was 15, like I'm sure some of you here did, said he was blown away and became hooked on Queenryche, Scott Rockenfield had a badass drum kit. when I was growing up he would have Queensryche on his playlists but I didn't pay attention to bands until I hit my music years at 13-14. He bought this dvd and would put it on, I recognized the songs and got hooked on Queensryche!!! one badass era of music, especially with Chris Degarmo on guitar
I saw them at LaMour East in Queens NY back in 1987....I was 10 feet from the band. Geoff Tate vocals were so powerful that certain segments of songs he did't even use his Mic.....It was around Valentines day and we were packed in there like sardines but it was absolutely fucking amazing! I would've never thought they'd play a club like that but they did and I was fucking there.....
🎉❤ divinely gifted all the five original band members. They play super rock with power perfection and precision. And what a wonderful 😊👍 time period 79 to 90. Iam grateful to the nav graha at the time of birth for letting me hear this smashing super music composer and musician and songs. From DZ Kottayam 🏙️🌆 City of Kerala state South India salute you sir ji.
Dude, I was introduced to QR music back in 1990 and a metal~head friend of mine had me getting into the metal scene at age 16 and so he introduced me to j priest, iron maiden, krokus, accept, motor head. And the list goes on and on.. but anyways, I remember silent lucidity was their big hit in 91 that put them on the map of metal rock music and so I bought the cassette and had no idea of their past albums until my friend gave me "the warning" album and said "hey check out their early stuff and this is their first album I believe and I was in love with that original sound that no one else was even close to it and so after that I followed up with " rage for order and obviously "mind crime" next and so I've been a huge fan ever since 💯 and thank God for having metal head friends 💯❤️💯🤟✌️
Ya bro metal head friends are always there for you and yes we discover beautiful music that way. Even if we find out later about it. Cheers bro!!
Saw Geoff Tate perform mindcrime live 2 weeks ago. I've seen a lot of bands live, and no one comes close to Geoff. He still sounds like the studio version. It was amazing!
Saw this show twice: 10th row in Miami then backstage in Orlando. All access passes to both shows. Only the birth of my son ranks higher as the greatest experience of my entire life.
The only band better live than in the studio ! Legend ❤❤❤
Rush..
The only? There is plenty of amazing live bands from the 70’s, 80’s and early 90’s like for example Mr Big.
I can’t tell from this concert video?! Too much post production lip syncing and drum fills added that were not coming from Tate’s mouth or from the drummer on the video!
Shouldn’t have done that - So I can’t buy your assertion.
Loved them from the OG. Moved to Seattle in 80s (parents did) and was spoiled by their local shows. My wife of 30 years and I went on our 3rd-4th date to see them New Years Eve 1991. I had seen this concert previously. When DeGarmo left it was the start of the end but without Tate it is no longer QR at all. Wish they would get together for ONE show in the PNW.
We need music like this now.
Saw OMC in its entirety on the Empire tour in June 5 1991 at the Civic Arena. I remember everything from that day including waiting for Suicidal Tendencies to be done. The experience is burned in my memory. I remember feeling the music and singing every lyric with my girl. Then 25 years later saw Geoff again play OMC again. It’s one of the few days I’ve felt most alive.
Ok 30 years later…dammit.
Best conceptual rock album of all-time! RYCHE & ROLL!
São os melhores ❤🇧🇷
