Queensryche - Operation Livecrime
To Queensryche fans,Operation: Mindcrimeis the  hard-rock equivalent of Pink Floyd'sThe Wallin its ambition, scope, and  theatrical pomp. This 1991 filming of the band's live presentation of the album is no  substitute for its electrifying stage show, but as filmed concerts go, it's a pretty good  replacement. Visually, director Wayne Isham and his editor Jeff Richter do their best to  keep up with the multimedia production: films, lighting, cued sounds, and dialogue are as  important toOperation: Livecrimeas the music. But enough of the convoluted  story comes through to allow even the uninitiated to follow it. Musically, the band is in  top form, especially singer Geoff Tate, who seems to hit notes most rock singers didn't  even know existed. The DVD also includes a new interview with Tate and "The  LIVEcrime Story," a set of images that originally appeared in the booklet of the  limited-edition CD boxed set.--Kevin Filipski
