It was May 14, 1989. I still have the concert shirt and ticket stub. It was the Operation Mindcrime tour. I wasn't a huge fan at first. I was into the hair metal scene where the lyrics were typically about drinking, partying and banging chicks. Queensrÿche was too "smart" for my musical taste back then I guess. That was until I saw them live. After that everything changed and they become my all time favorite band. They hold that title and my heart to this very day. We travel up and down the west coast while they're on tour. Just in the last 5 yrs alone we've been to 43 shows with two more on our calendar this year (subject to additions). They wow me everytime. I'm a member of the Queensrÿche Campaign (www.queensryche.com) where the ultimate Ryche fans meet and am a leader in my local "Empire" (fan club chapter). I <3 Queensrÿche!!

Mindcrime 2 was great on stage, as was promised land...i just don't know what to expect, I haven't read any reviews purposely. I did see someone on fb complaining that there won't be any songs off mindcrime played,but come on that has been done to death,you had plenty chances to see those played. I would love to see them do Scarborough Fair I’m very interested to see what this show really is.

Until then, I wore out a couple copies of Operation: Mindcrime on cassette.. due to my truck not having a CD player. The first part of the concert was just a greatest hits set. After intermission, a DJ from KNAC.com (I miss the real KNAC... the internet version is just not the same) started to introduce Mindcrime when some guy ran out onto the stage... beginning the show. The best part of Mindcrime was Suite Sister Mary.. with the backing of a few members of the LA Philharmonic ,, it just blew me away.

Prog Rock/Metal are genres that are often dominated by a bunch of dudes, so it's nice to see the ladies coming out in numbers. These are great stories everyone. Keep ‘em coming.

I didn't start listening to them until 2007. My first concert was in February of 2008 and man did they ROCK!!!! I was introduced to them by watching Metal Mania on VH1 classic. I was working out to the music when "Empire" came on and Geoff Tate's voice just captivated me. I just turned 30, full-time medical student as well as a full-time care giver for my going to be 96 grandmother. I am the youngest grandchild and gave up everything I had in Vegas to move back and move in with her so that she didn't have to leave her home. I have been taken care of her for 5 years almost 6 years now. I tried to see the Palms Springs one although my date was so drunk as well as rude not to just me but to everybody around us. He was texting, telling me he wanted to leave, then on his cell phone talking to other people therefore embarrissing me as well as pissing me off so much that I left after 2 songs. It would be really nice to the concert. I too am a late bloomer. I didn’t start listening to them until 2007. My first concert was in February of 2008 and man did they ROCK!!!!

I am a late bloomer and didn't really start listening to them until 2001. My boyfriend was in a Queensryceh tribute band "Prophecy". I went to my first show during 2003 and have been hooked ever since. We got sound check passes at the Gibson and I thought that was the coolest thing ever. We meet up with some people from what are called "Empires". Local fan club members and had such a great time that they have all become great friends and family.
