Watching this today I can feel chills of nostalgia waving thru my body I was 21 years old…. Your grocery budget? …. Lol, well back then it wasn’t that much for food. 50/60 bucks huh max…. Everything was so much better back then ,you didn’t struggle to go see a concert , go out etc… today is such a different world.

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.

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 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.

30yrs ago. They foreseen what is actually happening in 2022. Such a fantastic band. But, I do hope they sort differences and get Geoff back. He had heart n soul singing. Made it all so realistic.

[@jurgenweber8726]

this Album was the best performance in studio and live from QR... they has never touch this level of the mood till in today....

[@tonytolley14]

Thats how u end a concert! The transition from Eyes to Anarchy X is incredible! 1:00:06

[@thewatchers5930]

The only album you can listen to from start to finish its raw talent ✴️💥✴️💥 An Epic TRUE story wrapped up perfectly;!!

[@jmzochsnrtr]

One of the best concerts ever.

[@Ray-ld3mt]

Masterpiece. All time top 10 metal album. Saw this show at the time. Unbelievable.

[@brianwillits4433]

One of the best hard ass rocker Band that walked everywhere brah

[@giovannimagistrelli4389]

I saw the classic line-up performing the whole Operation Mindcrime in a small venue in Milan in 1990. Awesome!

Lucky guy

[@TammyFox1989]

When I met Geoff Tate after winning tickets to go to a private listening party in Seattle at "Bad Animals" Studio mid 90s I told him that I love his voice because it is so melodic and I listen to it as I go to sleep.. And he looked at me and said "Well, I hope I don't give you nightmares!" 😅😂🤭 Super sweet guy and I was also able to meet the entire band and they all signed the cover of the CDs for all of us! - So sad😪 the band had to break up into two different/separate Queensryche's...

[@gianlucatarchi]

Unbelievable, unsurpassed masterpiece. The chemistry amongst five men gave birth to one of the most notable work in music history. And we were alive at the same time, what a lucky combination 💫

[@christophersmith5606]

Saw them in 2008 when they did mindcrime in full. Wasn’t expecting it so it was such a surprise. I had been gutted that I hadn’t seen it when it was first released. Easily one of the best gigs I’ve been to.

Thank you for posting. I'm 48 now. I was fortunate enough to see this show in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Warrior Soul opened. My first rock concert.

[@thewatchers5930]

Excellent 🎉

[@seanbusby5]

Great first Concert !!!

[@TrollHunterxXx]

One hell of a first concert 😊

[@IRgEEK]

The greatest concert ever. And I've seen plenty over 40+ years. Every audience member knew every word. We were one. It was amazing!

[@jimthompson8440]

I was at this concert when my daughter was being born. July sixteenth nineteen ninety one and she never lets me forget it

[@cyradus]

They were at the top of their game here a d during Empire. Really tight. Played together flawlessly.

[@sharadmathur668]

Amazing performance by Scott Rockenfield

[@jafo4u508]

Reliving the concert in Miami, love this band and Tate can never be replicated!

[@bertvandenberg4702]

The voice of Geoff is so freaking awesome and even in 2024 still great!!!!!

[@clancampbellchandler]

Best concept album of all time....30+ years later and even more fitting in 2022. Live performance is a masterpiece as well.

[@johnjacobs3643]

This is a great concept album...But the greatest? That accolade is held by several Pink Floyd albums: Animals, Dark Side of the Moon, The Wall, and/or Wish you were here.

[@mrdmarsh1969]

@@johnjacobs3643 I agree, seen PINK FLOYD in concert 2x best shows ever!!

[@ReaveShot]

​@@johnjacobs3643 Pink Floyd can't touch this.

[@johnjacobs3643]

Queensryche is awesome...but are not in the same galaxy as Pink Floyd or Led Zep. I'm sorry...but they're not!@@ReaveShot

[@ReaveShot]

@johnjacobs3643 pink Floyd is far too mellow to be this hype, and not only was the musical performance album quality but the stage performance was incredible.

[@peterpennels3049]

Loved this band for years. Unbeatable in their prime. Im in my 70s now and still play this.

[@trblemkr1d106]

I saw the Metallica And Justice For All tour with Queensryche just before they released Operation Mindcrime...THEY WERE INCREDIBLE !!!!!!!!! Probably one of.the best concerts I ever saw . Both bands were at their peak and blew the roof off that place . PK

[@thewatchers5930]

Saw this tour in Madison Wisconsin 1991 Operation Mindcrime Tour What a blast!!!!

[@Albendova666]
