With Queen Of The Reich in 1981, Queenrÿche gave the basement of a new kind of metal: intelligent lyrics on a finest musical line. They fought against the common people who sticked the label "Beer, sweat and motorcycle" on the heavy metal bands! They proved us that they could play heavy metal for adult and mature public... and they did it! After that the heavy metal music has never been the same... This double live album retraces perfectly the four parts of the career and evolution of the band. The first part covers the period from the Queensrÿche EP to Rage For Order, the second Operation: Mindcrime, the third one from Empire to Promised Land and the last one from Hear In The Now Frontier to Q2K. This Live Evolution was recorded at the Moore Theater July 27 and 28 2001. I remember the performance of Operation Live Crime World Tour. Those songs really bring back memories. Music was played while a movie was shown on a big screen. It related the story of a man who was trying to reconstruct his past. The ideal marriage between the images and sounds. They were the first heavy metal band to dare report a concept album on stage. This live album is so perfect, they don't play any false note and I don't hear the people crying and shouting during the set except on three of four songs... I'm just wondering where the audience is ! However, the old songs have now a better interpretation and the brand new songs take another dimension. Geoff Tate's voice also won in maturity. This "bip" (censured) band really kicked my ass! Try it, you'll never regret to spend your money. |
