Featured Review

The Rage For Order set was worth the price of admission for me on this night with only Queensryche performing. Three seperate genre's of 'Ryche represented, seven or eight from each. The "American Soldier" set did exactly what a band hopes to have happen when they perform live; I went and downloaded the record. For me the live performance was much better than the recording but isn't that how it should be and so rarely is anymore? The poignant moment with defacto band leader/lead vocalist Geoff Tate and his daughter on stage performing was heart warming in context with the video backdrop accompanying them. Then finishing with 7 songs from Empire the greatest commercial success the band has had to date was a nice touch. That and the 'Take Hold Of The Flame' encore. Well done gentlemen, well done.

Geoff and the group was absolutely amazing in their show. Geoff's ability to still belt out those tunes like it was still back in the 80's just blows me away. The rest of the band was amazingly tight. I cannot say enough about that show and about the band. Queensryche has always been a favorite of mine and they keep proving it to me time and time again.

Considering the venue, fans, and band, it was better than I thought

Venue: I think it is a bad/horrible place for a rock concert. It was table and booth seating. I am someone who likes to stand at rock concerts and I was able to because I was on the end. If you have gotten front and/or center there wasn't much of an opportunity for that.

Fans: The band didn't sell out (and it was obvious), and the crowd didn't see that into it for the most part. If I was the band I wouldn't have even come out for an encore.

Band: The lead singer was the only one original to the band, and it showed. Guitar really seemed to be lacking, they had chances to WOW the crowded but failed to do so. Even the drummer seemed like a guy from a garage band.

Geoff Tate is back with a vengeance, even if the rest of the band are all new. This is the third time I've seen Queensryche, & the second time I've see "Operation Mindcrime" performed in its entirety. For my first Queensryche show, they played both "Operation Mindcrime" & "Operation Mindcrime II", in their entireties, complete with actors, props, an elaborate stage set, video, & a special guest appearance by the one & only- Ronnie James Dio as Dr. X. That show was the only time Ronnie performed his part live, & I can say I was there.

This time "Operation Mindcrime" was played without all of the theatrics. I missed not seeing the theatrics again, because it really helps to tell the story. But this time, as far as the music goes, Queensryche rocked, which is the most important part.

"Operation Mindcrime" is Queensryche's best album from start to finish. Geoff's voice still has it & he is still just as passionate about this album even after 25 years. The second half of the show featured all of the best hits from their album "Empire", plus the classic song "Neon Knights" from the Dio era of Black Sabbath.

I have seen Queensryche about 20 times. Geoff is a great front man. I miss the original band, however the new band did a great job. Geoff was alittle upset that people were sitting down.... but some of the seating in the theater made it impossible for people to stand as they were in booths. I would recommend seeing them if you have a chance!

I had high expectations going in and these musicians blew me away that I went to see the show again the following evening in the next town. The band had great backing vocals which stood out. The showmanship and the choreography was dazzling and in top form. The lead vocals were powerful throughout the entire performance. One forgets how great the Operation Mindcrime material is until you see it live and brought to life. Excellent!

I love the Northern Lights Theater. It is an intimate, comfortable venue. There isn't a bad seat in the theater. This particular concert was very LOUD, but the lead singer's voice was fantastic. You wouldn't have guessed it's been 25 years!

Hearing Operation Mindcrime from start to finish was awesome. The performance was tight and Geoff Tate sounds very, very good. If I want to be critical, I would say the guitar work wasn't precise, but they aren't the bands guitarists. A very good performance that you should see if you're a tribe member. Sass Jordan singing on Sister Mary was a pleasant surprise.

You can't go wrong with a show at the Northern Lights Theater! It is such a great venue! EXCEPT the prices of cocktails are ridiculous!! $12 for a Jack and Pepsi (they serve Pepsi products only)!!

Geoff Tate was great-energetic and tried numerous times to get the crowd to stand. When they finally did get up they started Silent Lucidity which then resulted in everyone sitting back down....didn't understand that idea???
The band sounds good but drummer doesn't compare to Scott Rockenfield.
One of the best parts of the show was when they played Neon Nights in honor/memory of Ronnie James Dio. He died May 16, 2010 and Geoff started song by saying this is for Ronnie (which sounded like Robin). It appeared not many knew who he was talking about. Queensryche did awesome job on that song!
Overall a great concert. They played for approximately 90 minutes.

I saw QR last night in Austin. It was my 7-8th time to see them live or should I say Tate live and it was one of the better shows that I have seen. I saw Cabaret which was bad as well as American Hero which was bad. Here is the deal though, I saw the other version of QR last year in San Antonio w/ Accept, that version was as good if not better. Anyway, the Mindcrime set was good, but the set the the other version of QR is playing is hands down the way to go and see / listen to QR. We want to hear 4-5 songs off of Warning, 4-5 off of Rage etc etc. Empire to me, is overrated, yet was their biggest hit. Anyway, last nights show was good. About 10 yrs ago, I saw Simon Wright play at the same venue w/ DIO. Also, it was cool to see Sarzo as I have see him w/ Quiet Riot and Whitesnake.

Queensryche starring Geoff Tate was awesome even without the original band. Rudy Sarzo was a definite coup. Every member supplied that night, and they came together for a great performance. The venue was perfect for "Operation Mindcrime" since it is more of a "rock opera." The band had energy, enthusiasm, and were pumped to be a part of the band as it is now.

Classic QR - Tate, Sarzos & crew tearing it up. Club Nokia is a great venue for a big band with big sound - small enough to make it personal to all in attendance. They sounded great - seemingly time has not affected them. 25yrs of Mind Crime with some other hits thrown in for kicks.
