QUEENSRŸCHE: 'Mindcrime At The Moore' Tops Music DVD Chart

July 12, 2007

QUEENSRŸCHE's newly released live DVD, "Mindcrime At The Moore", makes an impressive debut at #1 on the Billboard Top Music DVD Chart. This marks the band's first ever #1 chart debut. The double DVD set, released July 3 from Rhino, captures QUEENSRŸCHE's performance of both "Operation: Mindcrime I" and "II" in their entirety in front of a rabid hometown crowd at Seattle's Moore Theatre. The marathon show includes a full theatrical production complete with surround sound, video imagery, actors portraying the concept albums' characters onstage with the band, and a special appearance from the Seattle Seahawks drum line. Billboard has called the release a "real treat" and "a must for Rÿche and Rollers."

"Mindcrime At The Moore" features singer and chief songwriter Geoff Tate along with guitarists Michael Wilton and Mike Stone, bassist Eddie Jackson and drummer Scott Rockenfield performing all 32 "Mindcrime" tracks plus a two-song encore featuring their signature hits "Jet City Woman" and "Walk In The Shadows". The DVD's bonus features include a tour documentary, a featurette on the band's "Rock & Ride Across America" charity motorcycle ride for the VH1 Save The Music Foundation, and a live performance of "The Chase" from the Gibson Amphitheatre in Los Angeles, featuring Ronnie James Dio's only public appearance as Dr. X.

"This concert is the realization of an idea that began nearly two decades ago," says Tate. "The story and music of 'Operation: Mindcrime' is very dear to the band. We are thrilled with this performance and proud to share it with our audience."

QUEENSRŸCHE will continue touring the world through the rest of 2007. The band will join rock legends HEAVEN AND HELL and ALICE COOPER on the road for an extensive North American tour in the fall. Set to launch September 5, the band will be opening all 20 dates of this highly anticipated tour. Following these dates, the band will embark on its first tour of the United Kingdom in many years, co-headlining dates with THIN LIZZY.
