the band at their absolute peak.

[@ricknesar1627]

second that man!

[@shanelyon15]

Um come on….if you listen to Tate’s voice at the beginning of the tour compared to at this time….his voice was a shadow of what it was…..this was the beginning of the end for one of the greatest voices of our time…..probably the greatest voice in the history of pop music…let alone metal…

[@sgt803]

Operation Mindcrime is an absolute concept masterpiece! Lyrically & musically perfect. At this moment in time Queensryche was the best band in the world hands down. 🤘🤘

[@suprchickn7745]

Great band and one of the most underrated drummers in metal--Scott Rockenfield!

[@GreygBerlin]

I was at that exact concert! "Does anybody here in Madison Wisconsin believe in love?" May 9th 1991 with my friend Brad. The day I graduated from broadcasting school! Holy flashback Batman!

[@GoombahYah]

I was at the Milwaukee show (also filmed for Livecrime), ironically while attending UW-Madison. Absolutely the best live show I've ever seen, and I'm so glad it's preserved for all time. I swear, I still get tears in my eyes when Geoff Tate and Pamela Moore clasp hands during Suite Sister Mary. And then that finale, with the reprise of Anarchy-X and the final crescendo… so powerful.

[@billwell9266]

Same! We were under the overhead camera about 20 rows back on the floor

[@sgtmajorbuzz]

You should really watch the entire concert. Operation Mindcrime is a concept album, so you are watching just the last act and epilogue

[@peterhineinlegen4672]

My favorite song "Suite Sister Mary" is right in the middle, and doesn't really make sense unless you've heard the rest.

[@Jp421JP]

they did a 3 part reaction (1st time hearing) video in their car, to Mindcrime , way back. It was my intro to Kel n Rich and it was Epic. It was like reliving Mindcrime for the first time again. It was taken down, but would love to see it again. Can you guys repost it? Rich?

[@mxtech706]

It's a must, to understand what's going on. This ties the whole thing together.

[@ferretmom66]

Such an underrated band

[@williambevins]

I loved Operation: Mindcrime when it first came out. I now have Livecrime on DVD. I haven't watched in a while so this inspires me to watch it again. Such a great concert.

[@larrybinmtn709]

I saw Queensryche opening for Metallica back in the 80s. They were and still are the tightest band I've ever seen live. Chris DeGarmo is a very underated guitarist. I've never read anything to confirm it but I'm pretty sure that section that sounds like Pink Floyd is an homage to The Wall.

[@dirtpile]

was at this show in Madison, WI and still one of the greatest things I have ever witnessed!

[@billharding6693]

The ENTIRE album was, and still is amazing.

[@jed70]

Saw this tour back in the day. Just amazing.

[@justincase8533]

I miss the 80s n 90s.

[@jandvadams]

I saw this live way back in the day. I live in the Baltimore area, so I saw the show in Baltimore. They did the Operation: Mindcrime Album from start to finish. They opened with their hits from Empire and then went straight into Operation: Mindcrime. They had this little fledgling band open up for them at the time called Alice in Chains. Man what a concert. AIC was really good, just really starting to dig in, but when Queensryche hit the stage there was no comparison.

[@mix6809]

i remember the euphoria when the Livecrime VHS was released (yes i'm old). great reaction , tnx...

[@sgt803]

I bought the box set. VHS Live Crime concert video, Live Crime cassette & a storybook with lyrics to each song, in order telling the story of Operation Mindcrime. Best musical purchase I've ever made.

[@le7516]

Love this, my hair stands up with goose bumps.

[@danshoemaker9460]

You should listen to the whole album beginning to end. Total masterpiece!

[@michaelb1761]

If I remember correctly, you listened to the entire album on a drive to a concert. Eyes of a Stranger is a good song by itself, but in the context of the album it is a great song. Mindcrime is one of my top five albums of all time. So happy a guy that I worked with brought it into work one day. I was hooked and bought the cassette (lol) next chance I had. One of the few albums that I bought back then that I still, not just like, but love (CD now of course).

[@philstone3859]

I have QUEENSRYCHE stories for days! Peace, Phil

[@davidmel2158]

Man Kel you really were sheltered. I grew up in the inner city that’s One of the reasons I related to Queensryche so much. The truths. The lies. Desensitization. OM was everything to me. My first Queensryche album where I was all in. The images that frighten you so much are reality. OM forced me to walk in my childhood shoes & prepare me for another reality. The corporate world where all the corruption is passive, behind closed doors but just as ruthless.

[@Jp421JP]

Now, THAT was Queensryche!

[@Tony-dx3eo]

Your reaction videos have blessed me with an even deeper appreciation for much of the music I have loved for many years-thank you both for sharing a piece of your musical soul and enriching our lives even further.

[@garynwrede4572]

So nice to see this reaction again. I love watching when people see new music that inspires them. Well done.

[@oldschoolfink3212]

I've seen them twice. The 2nd times, they did this album in its entirety in the first set, then came out and played all their other hits. Operator: Mind crime is a rock opera. The whole album is on long story and should be listened to that way to understand the whole story. Was really a groundbreaking album.

[@jadahamilton7781]

"Dr. J Hamilton"...of course I had to own that lil bit anytime a bunch of us were sitting around listening to Mindcrime!!

[@purplekat5864]

Did the name coincidence inspire you to actually become a doctor so you could own that bit all the way? Hehe.

[@jadahamilton7781]

@@purplekat5864 LOL! No such luck, but get this--my first Q song EVER was Eyes of a Stranger! Had no clue it was a concept album but I liked that song so much that I immediately listened to the album.

[@purplekat5864]

@@jadahamilton7781 Yes, It seems to have happened to us all! I think that's so cool that basically your name is in one of their greatest songs! I was late in discovering them. The first QR song I heard from them was Anybody Listening. I was immediately captured and then began my journey through their all their previous songs, and well, fell in love with the band. I was lucky enough to see, and meet them many times! I really miss them all being together!

[@briansanders6247]

The entire "Unplugged MTV series was magical........raw vocals and acoustic guitars

[@robertgardner8015]

I saw that tour, it was absolutely amazing.

[@dirkriley3004]

Thanks Guys ! Love Queensryche 🤘🤘

[@twoxonen]

i love you guys

[@Kel.N.RichReactions]

That’s very nice of you to say, Ayhan. Much love back to you for Kel-n-I. She’s right here with me reading.

[@frank534]

Operation Mindcrime einfach nur genial ❗🎸

[@terryconnelly484]

Looked like after the finale y'all were in a trance......calling Dr. James Hamilton...YOU JUST HAD AN OPERATION MINDCRIME. .....Brain feels pretty good now, huh?

[@davenitsch6094]

Went to this show twice, that tour! It was incredible!!!

[@c.willharden9589]

❤ loved again

[@philstone3859]

Try rage for order , I know these guys . Seen them 18? Times. Just saying that when I speak of QUEENSRYCHE, I know of what I speak. Peace, Phil P. S. I just don’t recommend bad music period. And I would Never do that to YOU guys.

[@philstone3859]

LOVE

[@HocusPocusFocus69]

That album was sheer brilliance! Scott Rockenfield often gets overlooked as a drummer, but man he is amazing!

[@Rush2112mnPeartLeeLifeson]

I saw that tour twice..they opened for Metallica....and The Cult opened for them ...

[@michaelmalpassclemsonnatio9670]

One of the best bands live

[@philstone3859]

The FORCE IS STRONG WITH U

[@philstone3859]

Why do you want me to feel like I need to HEADBANG so hard before the reaction has started? Great new intro! I’m glad to see our tax dollars hard at work! Peace, Phil

[@davidzornes6863]

32 years latter and still Chill bumps ! WHO KILLED SISTER MARY ???

[@c.willharden9589]

❤ again😁😁😁

[@lordmortarius538]

Geoff Tate has one hell of a voice, right up there with RJD

[@jodythomas2724]

The whole album tells a story. Check it out

[@garyroyce8126]

I saw Metallica on my 21st birthday and Queensryche opened for them in support of Operation Mindcrime. They weren’t able to do what they wanted with it until their next album and tour. Then they played the whole album live. It was so amazing seeing it live. Of course I bought the live album and VHS tape too when it came out. Hahaha

[@psychodelian]

ok I gotta get this on blueray

[@anneahlefeld1989]

I always thought" sedative highs" was sad empty lies .

[@purplekat5864]

Hahaha, actually, that lyric would work quite well!

[@jasonstuart1616]

Wow ?that's it?

[@Davydd2]

Bring on the new stuff!

[@kevinbarberio5143]

God do I miss Degarmo and Tate in the band...not the same.

[@5Ring]

Why is this video rated age 14+? Is it because Kel has breasts, like every other woman ever born? WTF? BTW, Rich, the Mickey Mouse T-Shirt reminds me of my days in the Marine Corps. I used to wear one under my dress blues as an unseen rebellion to authority.

[@allandgraf482]

Band went downhill after Chris DeGarmo left......
