Queensryche Tickets Continued
Queensryche released their debut album, Queen of the
Reich, in 1983 to positive reviews. It wasn't until 1988,
however, that Queensryche's potential was realized with the
release of their narrarative concept album, Operation:
Mindcrime, that proved a massive critical and commercial success.
The album's story revolved around a junkie who is drugged into
performing assassinations for an underground movement. The junkie,
Nikki, is torn over his misplaced loyalty to the cause and his love
of a reformed hooker-turned-nun, Mary, who gets in the way.
Queensryche's Operation: Mindcrime has often been
mentioned by critics alongside other notable concept albums like Pink
Floyd's The Wall and The Who's Tommy.
Queensryche toured through much of 1988 and 1989 with several
bands, including Metallica.
The release of Empire in 1990 brought Queensryche to
the height of their commercial popularity. It peaked at #7 and sold
more than three million copies in the U.S., more than their previous
four releases combined (it was also certified silver in the UK). The
power ballad "Silent Lucidity" became the band's first Top 10
single.
After the release of a greatest hits collection in 2000,
Queensryche embarked on another tour, this time in support of
the newly reunited Iron Maiden. This enabled the band to play Madison Square
Garden for the first time. In 2006, Queensryche released the
follow-up album, Operation: Mindcrime II, to their 1988 album.
The Operation: Mindcrime II tour began in spring 2006 and sees
the band perform both Operation: Mindcrime albums in their
entirety.
Testimonials
"I just wanted to thank you for the great seats we had for the Maple Leafs game. It was a great birthday present for my wife as her team won and her favourite player, Mats Sundin, got first star of the game. I look forward to doing more business with you all for future events."
Derek S.
