They are one of the world's premiere progressive hard rock bands and we look forward to creating a positive and fertile environment for them. Sanctuary shares Queensr che's vision for the future of the band and they have worked with us much more closely then any other label. They are committed to the long run and the music and the new ideas they bring to the table give all in the band a feeling of excitement. From Yessongs to Frampton Comes Alive to Aerosmith's Live Bootleg the art form took those artists to another level. A live DVD, Queensr che's first, will follow on October 9, 2001.
Special features planned for the DVD include exclusive animation, bonus tracks and much more.
We have all recently been working on outside projects and we had this feeling of wanting to bring the band together to record live the material covering our 20 years of writing music together before we start our next studio album. We have been wanting to really devote all our energy to what we expect to be the most intense Queensr che studio album since Mindcrime and we needed to restart the creative connection between us. The shows and preparation for the Live album were just what we needed to start our new relationship with Sanctuary as well as bring us all back to the 'R che state of mind. This was a huge treat for both the hometown fans in attendance and the many people who traveled from as far as Germany for this special event. Queensr che has earned a rightful place alongside Pink Floyd, Iron Maiden and Rush in the pantheon of the world's greatest progressive hard rock bands and the forthcoming live CD and DVD will be significant additions to its legacy.
