A previously unreleased concert from 1990 on the 2nd CD ...

... Offers in this 2-CD set for fans of historical concept plant Operation: Mindcrime a purchase incentive. However, it is the same concert, which also in the package: plugged "Operation Mindcrime Deluxe Edition" in which additionally Video: Mindcrime is included as a DVD. The recording of November 1990 includes all the Mindcrime album at a time played at London's Hammersmith Odeon. Unlike the operation recorded a few months later: Live Crime is this CD reworked considerably less and has a raw, unpolished Live Sound. Everything is not perfect - the mix is ​​sub-optimal at the end, at the beginning of I Do not Believe in Love falls short guitar volume from and My Empty Room there is a little feedback. That's not bad, but produces a much more sympathetic authentic live atmosphere. This makes the CD for proper Queensryche fans indispensable, along with some minor variations in vocal and live speeches by Geoff Tate, but notice only the insiders. You really need is one the concert recording as owners of Operation: Live Crime and not only as a hardcore collector.

Five stars for the quality - three stars because, given the simultaneously published "Deluxe Edition" of buying this set for a barely worthwhile.
