In this episode of Empire Echoes: The Queensrÿche Chronicles, Eddie and Charles revisit Operation: Livecrime, the groundbreaking live album and video that captured the band at the height of their power. More than just a concert release, Operation: Livecrime brought the full Mindcrime concept to life on stage, cementing Queensrÿche’s reputation as visionaries of progressive metal.
We’ll explore the origins of the project, the challenges of performing a full concept album live, and how this release became a defining moment for both the band and their fans. From Geoff Tate’s commanding vocals to Chris DeGarmo and Michael Wilton’s twin guitar attack, we break down the performance that turned a masterpiece into an immortal legacy.
Grab your headphones—this is Queensrÿche in their purest live form.
