Mindcrime At the Moore [Slipcase]

Performer: Queensrÿche
Distributor: WEA (Distributor)

Notes: Queensr�che: Geoff Tate (vocals); Michael Wilton, Mike Stone (guitars); Eddie Jackson (bass guitar); Scott Rockenfield (drums). Following the release of OPERATION MINDCRIME II (2006), it was nearly ineluctable that Queensryche would present both MINDCRIME albums together in a live setting. Augmenting the group's rock theatrics with live stage actors and Pamela Moore in tow (as Sister Mary), the band captured a triumphant homecoming at Seattle's Moore Theater for MINDCRIME AT THE MOORE. The live presentation of the first MINDCRIME suite gets a noticeable facelift with several new arrangements and additional storyline revelations. The material from MINDCRIME II features a more prominent role for the Sister Mary character, as well as a suspenseful showdown between chief protagonist Nikki and Dr. X (played by Ronnie James Dio). MINDCRIME AT THE MOORE is an exciting musical journey that ardent Queensryche fans are sure to devour.

Formed in the early 1980s, Queensryche started their career sounding much like a junior version of Iron Maiden or Judas Priest. However, by the mid-'80s, the Seattle-based metal band had begun to form its own musical identity, culminating in 1988's OPERATION: MINDCRIME, a sprawling cinematic concept album that received widespread acclaim and led to international success. The group's follow-up, EMPIRE, featured catchy melodies and more straightforward songwriting, showcasing the vocals of frontman Geoff Tate and leading to an even wider audience, thanks in no little part to the unlikely top 10 hit lullaby "Silent Lucidity." In the late 1990s, Queensryche experienced a bit of a slump, largely due the departure of founding guitarist Chris DeGarmo, but in 2003, DeGarmo returned to record TRIBE.
