  • I saw them just a few months later in February, 1992, Long Beach Arena, California! That was an amazing concert!

  • Too many people still believe media is telling them the truth. We gotta make a change.

  • From my dad(50ryrs):

    coolest fuckers I ever met... got to be there private bartender (under protest) when we lived in k-zoo. They were opening for AC/DC @ the time & I didn't know shit bout em. They called me up closing down the restaurant onna Sunday night & wanted to come down to the bar... persistence payed off on their part & I finallly gave in.. even though the lounge was closed... & I just wanted to get done w/inventory & get home... never did get autographs... wtf was I thinkin?!?!!!!...

  • @amber84ful Dad! wtf WERE u thinkin? oh well...I'm sure the same happened w/ a lot of "no-name" bands.

  • INCREDIBILI!!!!

  • I remember this tour! and it was every bit as great as this video! 1992 Sacramento, CA.

  • Operation Mindcrime is the best album forever!... 

  • Nice Collection ya' have here, Thanks for the Share. : )

  • best Queensrÿche album ever !

  • @danstrikeeagle this is from "Operation:Cheesehead" :D

  • Filmed in Madison, WI.....I was at this concert and it was awesome!

  • Show me a band who can do this. Play a hole album from start to finish, note for note and not mis a beat! This is why Queensryche is one of the all time bands.

  • Revolution against the socialist agenda of Barack Obama. He and other liberals say the "rich" need to pay their "fair share" of taxes. When the 50% of americans who right now don't pay any fucking income tax, pay THEIR fucking share of the taxes, then they can gripe about the"rich". america is a nation of entitled pussies. Thank you political correctness...

  • @jimboslice8569 Dude shut the hell up. This is based on the Reagan agenda of the appointment of big bank execs into power and into his administration. They began their deregulation of the laws of checks and balances. It's been downhill ever since and every administration after has a group of crooked bank pros. Big banks were entitled by the Bush bail out. Now you tell me who is entitled?

  • More like Operation:Cutscenes. Great musical performances, but it feels more like a 90 min music video.

  • @Hulkamaniac418 That's because it's a concept album. Watch Pink Floyd's The Wall sometime. Anyone can write a 3:30 song.....but tie them all together to make it one long story?

  • @wink89815 Queensryche filmed their Operation: Mindcrime I And II performance several years ago, and it feels like an actual concert, not 2 sec. cutaways

  • There is no fucking way in hell a band of today could perform something this creative and this dynamic. Simple as that. QR still rules.

  • 5:35 - EPIC. So-called musicians just don't do that in concert anymore. Wouldn't want to charge 12,000 people with copyright infringement.

  • "i used to think that only amercicas way,way was right"great to hear an amercian say that,it gives you hope that some have their eyes well opened,crooks is right,the only thing that most see is the mighty dollar & dont care if they leave other countries poor as long as they have their little luxuries,greed is an evil thing

  • I didn't care about the politics, where they stood, or what they wrote about. This was just damn good music. I was proud of the fact that they filmed it in my home state of WI.

  • i'm seeing them play live at the high voltage festival in London along with Thin Lizzy, Dream Theater, Judas Priest who are both headliners and Jethro Tull, it's going to be amazing

  • Time to throw Obama`s ass out!

  • REMEMBER ICELAND

    THEY KICKED THE BANKSTERS OUT

    IT WASN'T MONEY OWED BY THE PEOPLE

    IT WAS OWED BY PRIVATE BANKSTERS INSISTING ON BEING BAILED OUT

    - WE DON'T NEED ANOTHER SHOT OF BAIL OUT!!

    - I WON'T DO WHAT YOU BASTARDS TELL ME TO ANYMORE

    - F--- YOUR FAKE CURRENCY - I'M COMPLETELY IN GOLD & SILVER A--HOLES

  • @5:35 thats directed towards you

  • One of the best rock albums ever made. Stil listening after 23 years. Fuck the U S government for not telling the truth to their own people.

  • @forfreetoall

    NO government tells the truth to their own people. That is the nature of government everywhere and anywhere.

  • @055697

    I don´t think you get it mate. you ever heard of the FED. It´s time for an revolution. Fuck the USA for intervening everywhere.

  • @forfreetoall

    yawn.

  • @055697

    And so that's why the colonists who wrote the constitution

    With three branches of gov't

    And allowed us to amend it as appropriate

    AND FOUGHT THE CENTRAL BANKS

    And wrote Article 1, Sec. 8 - that ONLY GOLD AND SILVER shall be currency

    knew what they were doing.

    Revolution's still calling

    F--- the Fiat - Silver, Guns, Water, Food & QR

  • Maybe the most under rated rock album of all time, certainly one of them. Every word still holds true in 2011, maybe even more true today than before.

  • A legnagyobb zenei kívánságom újra ilyen dícsfénybe látni őket stadionban ahová zsenialitásuk miatt méltóak és természetesen Mr.Degarmo-val a lead guitarrist poszton!!!!!

  • an incredible band, i can't believe this song this little views....sad how ypung people are brainwashed by the crap that we can hear today...

  • I want that drum set. It's freakin awesome.

  • OPERATION MINDCRIME belongs up there with the big guys. The album was released at a time when everybody thought concepts were dead and buried. The live shows were amazing, precise with great sound, not something that would go without saying in the late 80's. It's a classic that will stand time. Unfortunately the album was THAT good that from then on everybody expected QR to top it with every release. But look at DARK SIDE OF THE MOON and what followed - perfection can't be topped.

  • one of the best kick ass albums of all time

  • Fantasticooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooooooooooooooooooo

  • THE

    NURSE

    IS

    OBAMACARE!!!

  • @savagegalt Yeah. She does represent Obamacare. Because she is actually giving him heathcare. D'uh. Now, if he was laying dead in some street, that would be the Republican plan.

  • REVOLUTION CALLING

    AGAINST THE PRIVATE FED RESERVE BANK

    I USED TO TRUST THE MEDIA - TO TELL ME THE TRUTH

    F--- THAT

    WHO DO YOU TRUST WHEN EVERYONE'S A CROOK?!

    RON PAUL BISHES!!!

  • @savagegalt Federal Reserve Bank controls the country, controls us all! Teach the ignorant, bring them down!

    They killed Kennedy for it, but what are they going to do when we all stand up?

  • @MachRiderZero

    The Free People of the United States will need the support of our military

    That's why it's so important to spread the word to those holding the biggest weapons

    who will be turned on us

    unless they're woken up and told about

    OATHKEEPERS

    the police, military and even TSA

    that's why the treaties written at BAMF in Canada call for Canadian troops in the US and vice versa

    Foreign armies don't mind killing foreigners they don't know

  • @savagegalt you do understand that US holds the biggest weapons. And why you say "Foreign armies don't mind killing foreigners they don't know" when was ever US invaded and their citizens killed - never. But when was last time US invaded any country? oh yes 2001 - Afghanistan, 2003 - Iraq.

  • @OsSLatvia "when was ever US invaded and their citizens killed - never" September 11, 2001

  • @xAquinasx first of all that's not invasion second of all it most probably were a false flag operation just to get public support for invading Afghanistan and Iraq in which they succeed.

  • @OsSLatvia Sure it was an invasion. But you are one of those nuts that thinks the US Government blew up the buildings themselves. I see where this is going.

  • @xAquinasx and no its not invasion. invasion is to to enter (a country, territory, etc.) by military force.

  • @OsSLatvia An armed force, not necessarily a military one. And I don't remember us conquering any of those countries so it wasn't a real invasion. In fact, we never took a drop of Iraqi oil even though that was part of the bargain for payment. But again, you believe that the US did 9/11 itself, so you will believe anything you are spoonfed apparently.

  • @xAquinasx If it wasn't and invasion and take over, then why did the US build the largest permanent military base ever constructed? And no mention of those little WDA things that Bush admitted was a mistake??

  • mindcrime was like one of the best albums in the 80's and is like one of the best albums EVER! operation mindcrime holds up just as good today as it did back in the day.. queensryche were WAY ahead of their time. and they are still rocking today!

  • I LOVE Queensrych my dad would play this concert vhs and me and my sister would sing along at like 5 yrs old love the 80 REVOLUTIONS CALLING!

  • now that's a talented band!

  • I get goosebumps, such a great performance. Everything is just right, except for the mic on one of the guitarist. That does not look cool.

  • They just don't make music like this anymore. Sounds just as good now as when it was new.

  • In 23 years I have worn out 5 cassette tapes, 3 VHS tapes & 3 cd's of Operation Mindcrime. Happily. QR forever!

  • @betsywaldrop Same here, my last copy I saved to my hard drive so I'll never be without it again !

  • @betsywaldrop i'm so damn proud to have seen Queensryche live even only once,in Athens,Greece in 2004 :D

  • Saw them in St Pete a couple years ago...they did both Mindcrime albumns......awesome show........::)

  • It was 1988, I was on tour with my band...someone gave Operation:Mindcrime to our drummer but there was no information that came with the tape...the guy just said..."you guys have to listen to this concept album from Queensryche". With a long drive from Daytona Beach to Lansing Michigan ahead of us, we popped the cassette in the car stereo and litterally listened to it over and over again until we fully understood the plot. I'll never forget those times in my life. Thanks QR for the memories!

  • One of the best concerts I had been to!

  • Seen this in 89 in Phoenix when they opened for MetallicA on the Justice tour.

  • Julian Assange and Pfc Bradley Manning.

    HEROS!!!

  • man i saw these guys back in 1989 in corpus christi texas with metallica and man these guys rocked the house down man. awsome

  • check the first video response!!

  • sweet dreams...you bastard

  • le meilleur album si vous ne l'avez pas procurés le vous maintenant c une tueri

  • never seen a better live performance & it's now almost 2011

  • Amazing show! Does anyone know if they filmed tracks other than the ones off mindcrime? They had a pretty large set on this tour just wondered if they filmed the whole thing but just didnt release it on livecrime for some reason.

  • @DanAstonMusic, I think they did, but it wasn't for a DVD though. I think the other tracks (there's one for "The Lady Wore Black" & "Resistance") were just for promotional purposes.

  • @DanAstonMusic Dont for get about "operation live crime" that is the whole album on dvd. But that was almost 20 years ago good luck finding it.

  • @sphynx332 the live DVD for this show is easy to find I bought one off amazon last month, it's the whole of the mindcrime album live with some bonus features including interviews

  • Great sound, great video,, great band, but fake sounding audience though.

  • This is what you call prophecy. : )

  • Very evocative of The Wall, especially with the animation.

  • One of the things I love about Queensryche, on top having the best vocal and instrumental work around, is that their music has a timeless relevance. Every song from the politically charged album Operation Mind Crime could easily apply to today's time. In a world rife with music that is a testament to insipid narcissism, with simplistic melodies, it is nice that we can look back to bands like Queensryche for instrumental virtuosity and socially conscience music.

  • I still love the rock and roll, that is operation mindcrime!

  • Just came across this gem...man, we miss Chris but the band keeps rolling. Yep, one of the very few great bands in the USA that knows how to do a concept album!

  • The definitive concept album of them all...... The absolute best. It passed the test of time!

  • Great Album ! It is timeless !

  • only 143.182 views ... people are NOT aware of quality music

  • Geoff Tate is really bad on stage.

  • One of the absolute BEST concerts I have ever attended in my life! I love the Operation Mindcrime album and still listen to it often.

  • As they say, "as more things change the more they stay the same."

  • Absolutely supreme. Been listening to this album today for the first time in a few years and it's still fantastic. In fact, Livecrime actually surpasses the studio album, great stuff!

  • omg so fucking good its sick

  • Supreme!

  • i like this band alot what else can you show me for this video

  • impresionante intro y depués revolution calling te pone los pelos de punta

  • Wow...thanks for this Video ! Great Song...great Band ! \m/(>_<)\m/

  • great fuckin band!!!!!

  • Scott Rockenfield in a inspirating performance...

  • Its so true to the times. Who would have though.

  • This performance is so perfect, it's got to be seriously overdubbed..

  • what does he mean with 'Warhol wasn't wrong' at 5:15?

  • @LangeE612 it

    means that fame is indeed only 15 minutes long---referencing Andy Warhol's statement that everyone receives 15 minutes of fame.

    END THE FED

  • The 7 who disliked this video should be cursed for life! Queensryche's music is epic! This album was a master piece and the amazing part is that while it's been so many years since it came out it's still so relevant in todays world! The album has so much sense,genius,and meaning to it! Whenever I hear it it gives me the chills!!!!

  • Recommend the censored-on-youtube "Obama Decpetion"

    the fractional reserve banking system is coming down

    Private Fed Reserve Bank (est. 1913 - "Creature From Jekyll Island" G. Edward Griffin) is made up of only 8 Transnational Banks:

    1. Goldman Sachs Bank

    2.JP Morgan Chase Bank

    3. Rockefeller Family via Hanover Trust

    4.N.M. Rothschild Bank

    5. Kuhn, Loeb 6.Lazard Bros Bank

    7.Warburg Bank

    8.Israel Moses Seif Bank

  • @savagegalt true

  • @savagegalt you might like Sons of Liberty, they have similar themes to what you are talking about (Jekyll Island is one of the song names).

  • Thank you for posting this :)

  • astounding that this only has a bit over 100,000 views when you consider the shite that claims a million or more

  • @nameless1972 Justin Bieber's song "Baby" has 250 million views...I don't think 250 million people on Earth know of Queensryche.

  • IGNORE THE BREAD AND CIRCUSES END THE PRIVATE FEDERAL RESERVE BANK

    Private Fed Reserve Bank (est. 1913 - "Creature From Jekyll Island" G. Edward Griffin) is made up of only 8 Transnational Banks: 1. Goldman Sachs 2.JP Morgan Chase 3. Rockefeller via Hanover Trust 4.N.M. Rothschild Bank 5. Kuhn, Loeb 6.Lazard Bros 7.Warburg Bank 8.Israel Moses Seif Bank

  • Such truthful and insightful lyrics and profound art. Grade A+ music.

  • When, oh when will Scorsese make this story the greatest political/crime thriller of the decade?!

  • PURE PERFECTION ! Hard to believe is that old. Talking about being before your time. QUEENSRYCHE is one of the few bands i would go anywhere & see anytime & everytime..

  • What's the opening video from?

  • You Bastards....

  • God save the Queen!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I say

    F--- THE BIG-GOV'T REPUBLICANS

    F--- THE BIG-GOV'T DEMOCRATS

    REVOLUTION BY THE PEOPLE, FOR THE PEOPLE

    END

    END

    THE

    TOO-BIG-TO-FAIL BANKERS!

  • Revolution NOW!

  • I saw these guys in 2006 in Knoxville TN. They did Mindcrime 1 and 2. One of the best shows I have ever seen.

  • easily the best progressive rock concept album of all time!!!!

  • This song made me put all my cash in my fireproof gunsafe!!!  20 years ago, thanks QUEENSRYCHE!!

  • Thanks for the trip back, Saw them in Spokane at the old arena. After the concert they asked the audience to stay because they wanted live shots for thier next video. Hell if I can remember the song though. Still one of the best concerts ever and I've seen a million !!

  • were going to push on through!!!!!

  • The best album ever and its has relivant now has it was then and more Revolution calling!!!!!!!

  • I was at Joe Louis Areana in Detroit for this tour....great fucking concert and band

  • every time i hear this song i'm coming!!!!!!!!!

  • @georgeptp

    umm........too much information dude.

  • END

    THE

    FED

  • Best drum send-off to an album ever, any gerne!!!

  • @riggsbr1 That's right, Scott Rockenfield is one of the best drummers! I saw them in 04, they opened up Judas Priest, and they kicked ass!

  • amazing!

  • Sad how 20 year old material echoes modern day sentiment of our society. These guys know whats up!

  • It's all part of the plan. Greece, Iceland, U.S.A., UK...destroyed by their PRIVATE Central Banks printing as much money as corrupted politicians desire, more taxation, destroying the economies by moving industry overseas, no jobs, all under government control...and then the private Banks that caused the problem by printing...propose the ultimate solution: one world currency reserve under private IMF control. The dollar aka private Fed Reserve Note created 1913 is dying as planned.

  • @savagegalt  a fukin men

  • @hoofarted09

    I used to trust the media to tell us the truth

    who do you trust when everyone's a crook?

    Not the private fed reserve bank printing out free money out of thin air for 0% interest to Wall St.

  • @hoofarted09 too bad most of the public is too stupid to enjoy good music with a socially conscious message. instead they enjoy stupid sugar coated pop or gangsta rap.

  • If you havent seen it, get Mindcrime at the Moore from back in 2006. Ties the whole mindcrime storyline together with I and II.

  • best band ever, god I love queensryche!

  • 20 years ago and still no revolution...hmm

  • Do you think they're going to record another album?

  • Already did--Operation Mindcrime II

  • 5:34....WOW

  • 革命の呼び声!

    革命の呼び声!

    革命の呼び声が君に!

  • Ya... I bought the DVD hoping it had the same videos as the VHS that someone stole from me... no go... it was more a "concert". BTQ - out of all the concerts I have been to I'd have to say Operation Mindcrime and Heart were the best 2 I ever went to see about 10 years ago! lol.

  • I saw them open up for Metallica on the ..and justice for all tour in either 1987 or '88 in Lubbock, Texas. Can't decide which act I liked more! Mindcrime is, to me, one of the greatest metal albums of all time.

  • I REALLY WANT TO SEE THE ORIGINAL VIDEOS OF THESE SONGS OFF OF THE "VIDEO: MINDCRIME" WHICH WAS ON VHS TAPE! COULD SOMEBODY PLEASE FIND AND POST THEM SOME HOW. I had the tape back in1989, but it is gone now.

  • I have the VHS but its in pretty bad condition. I dont know what happened but all my other videos are perfect.

  • fuckin' epic!!!!!!!!

  • Had this album on tape in my Walkman , back in 1987 , on my honeymoon. Operation Mindcrime on one side and Def Leppard Hysteria on the other. Both albums still holds to this day...And so does my Wife.:-) Rock on.

  • @ofunch

    I listen Operation Mindcrime in my honeymoon, too :)) The only difference is the year............. it was '97. I still love Quennsryche........ and my wife too

  • @ofunch back in 87? It didn't come out until 88.

  • I love this song and Band!

    How many people were there?

  • ADDICTED TO QUEENSRYCHE!!

  • I was at this very concert back in 91 in Madison, WI. One of the best experiences of my life.

  • incredible song...REVOLUTION CALLING!!!! QUEENSRYCHE RULES!!!

  • Is there any truth to the rumer that an Operation: Mindcrime game is in the works for PS3 or is it just a dream I had.

  • i hope so!

  • @herda5 no idea

  • The same things were going on back then, different politicians giving different secretarys the slam.

  • Isn't it ironic how relevant this album is after all this time-- so far ahead of the times back then. Revolution Calling sound familiar.........?

  • I always felt that true cus Ive only been a fan for a few years!

  • END FRACTIONAL RESERVE LENDING

  • @Scarecrow251 You cant say it better !

  • @Scarecrow251 Except Queensryche, in this album, was pining for a "socialist' revolution... that's worked out real well for us, huh? Oh well, chalk it up to immaturity. Still a good album.

  • this is what i'm talking about !

  • Brilliant

  • You bitches better get with Geoff and Chris. Yo.

  • Best QS Album,one of the best album of all time!The first prog "metal" concept album!

  • epic song

  • Savage ~ the conspiracy theories are hysterical, but when you said Ron Paul, I threw up in my mouth a little.

  • Say hi to the other Feds in the cubicle next to you. Hyperinflation (more likely than the Fed contracting the money supply) is inevitable. These are just the simple numbers. It's all conspiracy until it comes true. I'm sure those who read about the Lusitania and the Bay of Pigs also knew at the time they were false flags...oh, wait, they didn't. But, of course, the government never lies. The official story should never be questioned. Say hi to your friends at Goldman Sachs & AIG

  • amazing song! still gives me the chills after 18 years

  • The american people is headless.... this is no longer an american country.This is the cover of the jewish that controls everything.Fu...ng propaganda for the 9/11 to make wars and control everything!They destroy the earth because they know that they not gonna live forever, but they collect money like they never gonna die!!Ii like america but only as a destination .Revolution calling brothers.... we start here in Greece the last christmas with the killing of a young boy by police man.

  • listen to the lyrics and this was 22 years ago for christ sakes wake up america

  • Come back Chris!

  • The American Republican obstructionist Party must be neutralized!

  • That is the single most UnAmerican, idiotic, divisive, and hateful thing to say about your fellow citizens. Are you really proud of yourself for being and idiot?
