Queensryche, my favorite progressive metal band and the band that took my concert virginity. They did two albums back to back. They did Operation Mindcrime 1 + 2 together and also 3 encore songs afterwards. Operation Mindcrime was successful in the 1980's/90's, this album was a concept album about a person named Nikki and how he can't remember his past other than being disillusioned by American society and joining a terrorist organization in an attempt to destroy corrupt world leaders.
The video is one of the songs from OM1 which in my opinion is the more successful, as I did not really enjoy OM2 and much as the first. To this day, most believe this is the most crucial progressive metal recording in existance.
The most successful release by Queensryche was Empire. If you do not care much for metal, I am sure you would let easy and enjoy this album granted you listen to rock.
The concert I went to was amazing. It was a small venue, same as the Dream Theater one and the sound echoed and was very clear. The band had magnificent stage prescence and not one error in their musical pieces.
