Queensryche - Mindcrime At The Moore DVD [ July 3rd, 2007, Rhino ]

1 June 2007 - Since forming near Seattle in 1981, Queensryche has sold over 20 million albums and remained one of the most influential hard rock bands in the world. Their virtuoso sound is a metal roar with a cerebral prog-rock bent that’s always set them apart, especially on 1988’s GRAMMY-nominated platinum masterpiece Operation: Mindcrime, one of rock music’s greatest concept albums. Forged out of Reagan-era political angst, its sonic charge and visionary storyline are spellbinding. The band -- still driven by four of five original members -- reprised it with Rhino’s equally hard-hitting 2006 sequel Operation: Mindcrime II, an epic tale of “rock, revenge and redemption” that entered Billboard at #14 (their highest debut in years). In late “06, Queensryche staged a series of concerts performing the entire saga in sequence via a full theatrical production, with actors playing key roles and an intermission separating the two albums” songs. MINDCRIME AT THE MOORE now brings this extraordinary experience to fans everywhere.
