QUEENSRŸCHE: MP3.com Acoustic Set Posted Online

March 7, 2008

QUEENSRŸCHE members Geoff Tate, Michael Wilton and Mike Stone stopped by MP3.com's San Francisco studios recently to play a short set, including "The Killing Words" from the 1986 album "Rage for Order", "Eyes of a Stranger" from the band's 1988 breakthrough "Operation: Mindcrime", and "The Hands" from "Operation: Mindcrime II". The quintet also threw in a cover of CROSBY, STILLS & NASH's "Almost Cut My Hair" from its 2007 covers album, "Take Cover".

Watch the performance footage below.

As previously reported, QUEENSRŸCHE will perform the entirety of its "Operation: Mindcrime I" and "II" albums for the very first time in the UK via a 10-date June 2008 tour. This epic theatrical prog metal extravaganza will take in three hours, and will include an intermission, and in addition to the core members of the band, will feature actors re-enacting the storyline behind both of these compelling albums.

In the grand tradition of all captivating theatrical rock extravaganzas (THE WHO's "Tommy", and PINK FLOYD's "The Wall"),QUEENSRŸCHE's "Operation: Mindcrime I" and "II" is not just a typical rock 'n' roll concert. Combined with the core members of the band, the production is a totally explosive and highly absorbing theatrical rock experience with actors re-enacting the storylines from both albums.
