Queensryche (Official Thread)

Re: Queensryche

Another couple of tunez that were epic live back in the day were The Mission and Suite Sister Mary. Both of these vids are from the Operation: LIVEcrime DVD, I was fortunate enough to see this tour twice and I swear to God it was otherworldly. The stage show was the best I've ever seen in my life. If you are a QR fan and haven't seen this, then you MUST!

This was the first tour I`d seen QR, it was superb, Tates voice was spot on and they sounded just like the studio recording, Suite Sister Mary and The Mission were the highlights for me, I had goosebumps.

Re: Queensryche

One of my favourites!

I'm so excited - it's this Saturday I go to see them

I look forward to your write up after seeing one of your faves this weekend Tray.

Is Sweaty going too? You know him and Sox together at a concert is a recipe for disaster...

Just kidding of course, I would love to go with you lot, and even smuggle in the necessary libations to round out the evening.

Yes I'll definitely report back!

No it's just us two, I don't think Sweat is a fan of Queensryche, well I'm assuming that since he said he fell asleep whilst they were performing once

Just kidding of course, I would love to go with you lot, and even smuggle in the necessary libations to round out the evening.

And you'd be most welcome

Re: Queensryche

O2 Apollo, Manchester, July 16th.

Set List:

1.Get Started
2.Damaged
3.I Don't Believe In Love
4.NM 156
5.Screaming In Digital
6.Jet City Woman
7.Empire
8.Eyes Of A Stranger

23 years after buying my first CD by Queensryche (Operation: Mindcrime - still by far my favourite album of theirs) I finally got to see them!! I was so excited when Geoff Tate walked on stage, I was like a kid just about to rip the wrapping off a huge pile of pressies on Xmas day! I didn't know what to expect of the set list, I just hoped they'd play as little as possible off their latest offering and as much as possible off Mindcrime!
I was not disappointed, just one new song, Get Started - one which I quite like actually - and the rest oldies, from when Queensryche were at their blistering best.
The band were in fine form, excellent musicianship, and Geoff's vocals were (mostly) brilliant (he seemed to struggle a little on the odd notes - I noticed it the most in Eyes of a Stranger - but disguised it well ). I loved every minute of it, and was in my element when they played three of my favourites - Jet City Woman, Empire and Eyes of a Stranger. Just a shame they were the support act so were only on a short time.

Pearltastic stuff

Re: Queensryche

Yes!!

I should've added that Sox thought they were great too

Re: Queensryche

Oh I can imagine that you both had a blast, just by looking at both set lists!!
