Queensryche/Canada 1991

“BUILDING EMPIRES TOUR” shook the world with a complete reproduction of the shocking “OPERATION: MINDCRIME”. A masterpiece video that allows you to experience the spectacular view of the scene has been decided to be released. This work was filmed on October 24, 1991 in Toronto. This is an audience shot where you can witness the whole story. Speaking of the “BUILDING EMPIRES TOUR” video, the official work “OPERATION: LIVECRIME” comes to mind, but that is basically only the album reproduction part. On the other hand, this work is a video work that allows you to experience a full show with plenty of famous songs other than the reproduction part. Before we get into the details, let’s start with the show’s position. Let’s take a look back at the panoramic view of the biggest world tour of his career, which spanned three years. 1990《“EMPIRE” released on August 20th》・October 29th-December 6th: Europe #1 (27 performances) 1991・January 23rd: ROCK IN RIO II appearance・January 29th-2nd April 5th: Japan (5 performances) April 15th – July 31st: North America #1 (69 performances) ← *Official LIVECRIME August 10th – September 21st: Europe #2 (18 performances) October 12th – December 31st: North America #2a (46 performances) ←★Here★ January 1st + 3rd, 1992: North America #2b (2 performances) This is the overall picture of “BUILDING EMPIRES TOUR 1990-1992” . The official video was produced from May’s “North America #1”, but the Toronto performance of this work was “North America #2a” which progressed well. This was the 6th concert. This work, which records such a show, is a picture-perfect scenic shot. The photo was taken from the second-floor stand seats facing directly in front of the center of the stage, and although it looks a little overlooking, there are no obstacles and the stage is the only thing that occupies the field of view. If you pull it back as hard as you can, you can see the entire stage, but from there you can also use a lot of bold zooms. At maximum zoom, Geoff Tate’s entire body fills the screen perfectly. And the zoom is very skillful. I use close-ups to capture the highlights of each member, but I don’t often keep zooming, I return to the full view and then re-zoom. This allows you to enjoy close-ups while still understanding the overall mood of the stage, without shaking the camera and getting blurred. The camera work is possible because of the superb view seats, but the fact that it was 1991 probably has a lot to do with it. The audience shot itself quickly spread as video cameras became smaller and more popular, but that was in the mid-1980s. Over the next few years, not only the equipment but also the techniques for photographing in the audience seats evolved significantly. In 1991, this photography technique had just been established and was becoming popular among enthusiasts. With this mature technology, you can fully enjoy the full show. What is depicted with such visual beauty is a full show of QUEENSRYCHE, whose entire body was exposed to the wind at its peak. The set consists of roughly three parts, with a complete reproduction of “OPERATION: MINDCRIME”, which was the highlight of the tour. Let’s organize the contents here. Early part (8 songs)・THE WARNING: Roads To Madness・RAGE FOR ORDER: Walk In The Shadows・EMPIRE: Resistance/Best I Can/Empire/The Thin Line/Jet City Woman/Another Rainy Night (Without You) Album complete reproduction Parts ・OPERATION: MINDCRIME: All songs Encore (2 songs) ・EMPIRE: Silent Lucidity ・Others: Last Time In Paris “The Adventures of the Ford Fairlane” soundtrack provided…And so it goes like this. The “OPERATION: MINDCRIME” reproduction part is familiar from “OPERATION: LIVECRIME”, but before that there was a regular set of 8 songs, and after the reproduction, 2 songs were played as an encore. The main character of this “non-MINDCRIME” part is, of course, the latest work, the great masterpiece “EMPIRE”. It’s a huge album with 7 out of 11 songs, and even the soundtrack song “Last Time In Paris”, which was included as a bonus track, is also shown. “BUILDING EMPIRES TOUR” featured the “Golden Five” spinning masterpieces while images were shown on a giant screen, and long-haired Geoff Tate told the story. It is a masterpiece video that allows you to enjoy the full show from the special seats. It is also a “on-site trial version of LIVECRIME”, but it is also a record that shows plenty of famous songs from “EMPIRE” with the potential of a band that has just created a famous album.
