Rating: 4.0
Well done guys! Thanks! :)
I have followed Queensryche since 1991's Empire. I was a kid at Christmas when I got the original Mindcrime video from the Empire tour. Like allot of people I was apprehensive to get this DVD. I wasn't shy about my dislike of the Live Evolution album and Q2k. Tribe was a step in the right direction but still kind of lacking.My wife convinced me to buy this and I am glad she did. The first disk is a masterwork performance. I love the alternate arrangements on some of the songa and all of the band performs well including Mike Stone. Is he Degarmo? No nobody really is but I can assure you he is a BIG improvement over Kelly Gray and a much better fit for Queensryche. He plays very well by his own standard. Geoff sounds great and Pamela Moore adds a nice vocal dimension to the performances. Scott, Michael, and Ed add the pedal to the metal I have come to expect from this band.Now I'll admidt Mindcrime II just doesn't have the power of of the original but there are some good momments there as well like the chase, signs say go, and I'm an American. Overall though it compliments the first story well and makes Mindcrime a complete and exciting treat for this recharged Queensryche fan.Five stars for disk one and three stars for disk two so that means a very well done four star performance.
