Queensryche/OH, USA 1991

“OPERATION: MINDCRIME” is a monumental concept album and instantly elevated the music genre “progressive metal.” The super-excellent soundboard album that records a completely reproduced live performance by the original members will be preserved forever. [“Third LIVECRIME” that is completely different from the two official works] This work was recorded at “Cincinnati Performance on November 13, 1991.” This is a stereo soundboard recording recorded directly from the mix desk by band personnel at the time. Speaking of the reproduction live of “OPERATION: MINDCRIME”, there is also the official video “OPERATION: LIVECRIME” and the Hammersmith performance that became the bonus CD of the deluxe edition, but this work is different from either of them. Since the master DAT only says “11/1991,” the information the other day said that the date was unknown, but a maniac later verified it. It turned out to be a Cincinnati performance. First of all, let’s check the position of the show that has been revealed again from the overall picture of the century concept reproduction tour. 1990《“EMPIRE” released on August 20th》・October 29th-December 6th: Europe #1 (27 performances)←*Official Dera Eddy 1991・January 23rd: ROCK IN RIO II appearance・January 29th – February 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 “BUILDING EMPIRES TOUR 1990-1992 ”The whole picture. QUEENSRYCHE had given up on the reenactment tour when they released “OPERATION: MINDCRIME”, but with the success of “EMPIRE” being a hit in the United States, they finally embarked on a big project. Not only did they take three years to complete, but in their main year, 1991, they went on a gigantic tour of about 140 performances, the most in their career. As mentioned above, two performances of the fully reproduced live performance have been made into official works as “OPERATION: LIVECRIME” and “OPERATION: MINDCRIME” dera eddy, but the Cincinnati performance of this work is much more advanced than that. This is the 12th concert of the final stage of the tour, “North America #2a.” It is truly a stereo sound board album that will be the “third LIVECRIME”. [The most vivid LIVECRIME in history] Since the show is different, the performance is also different. However, what is more decisive than that is the sound of this work. In terms of sound quality, it is at an extremely high level that should be called “official grade”, but it is completely different from the actual two official works. For example, “OPERATION: LIVECRIME” had a dynamic sound production with plenty of echoes that still had the feel of the 80’s, and the Hammersmith performance recorded on Dela Eddy in 2006 probably reflected the era when the loudness war was in full swing. The earache sound of increasing sound pressure. On the other hand, this work is super natural & super real. After all, the source of this work is the mix table itself at the concert site, and it is a DAT recording of it. There is no intentional processing to recreate the atmosphere of a concert, and there are no sonic tastes that depend on the release date. Only the on-site sounds from “1991” flow out unprocessed. Therefore, the unpolished roughness and the truth of the performance are exposed. But it’s good. So good. The vast stereo panning that doesn’t take home audio into account, the reality that makes you feel the presence of the guitar strings and the wire mesh of the microphone… everything is ultra-realistic. In terms of synchronization with the performance, which is different from the concert experience, the power of the direct-to-table sound board, which surpasses even the two official works, is at its full potential. [Three precious encore songs] Just listening to “OPERATION: MINDCRIME” with such a sound is enough to fill my stomach, but what is even more precious is actually the encore. “Della Brown”, “Last Time In Paris” and “Silent Lucidity” are also included. This is a detailed topic, so proceed carefully. Basically, both “OPERATION: LIVECRIME” and Dela Eddy’s Hammersmith performance are only reproduced parts, but strictly speaking, “The Lady Wore Black” and “Roads to Madness” are included on the CD version of “OPERATION: LIVECRIME”. It is included as a bonus, and the parts other than the reproduction of the Hammersmith performance are included as a bonus on the 20th anniversary edition of “EMPIRE”. However, the only song that overlaps with it is “Silent Lucidity”. Neither “Della Brown” nor “Last Time In Paris” was even played at both official performances. And these two songs are also valuable. “Della Brown” is a hidden gem from “EMPIRE,” and “Last Time In Paris” is a soundtrack song provided for the 1990 movie “The Adventures of the Ford Fairlane.” It will be performed by the original members, including composer Chris DeGarmo. You can enjoy such valuable live music on the finest sound board that is directly connected to your brain. “OPERATION: MINDCRIME” is the “third LIVECRIME” and is the best yet the most vivid in history.
