I got Operation Mindcrime about 3 years ago as I was collecting the top prog albums on this site (I think it was sitting around 100 at the time--and still is). I'm not much of a hair metal fan, so I didn't like it at first, but a few more listens changed my mind. Super concept album! So far though, can't really get into any of their other music.

On paper: a classic. In reality: Great concept, but musically not everything seems to work.

I've created an atmosphere where I'm friend first, boss second. Probably entertainer third.

Anybody have either the DVD or the album?? I think it's their best live performance of all time, especially for this album.
1991 was a great touring year for the Ryche. :)

Absolutely spectacular performance, you simply watch through amazed at the passion and delivery. Especially in Suite Sister Mary there are no words to describe...

Operation:LIVEcrime was recorded before the Empire tour, but you're still right. They were an incredible live act in '91. I saw them twice in Long Beach and those were two of the best shows I've seen by any band. They peaked early in their career, but it was one helluva peak! Have you seen the pre- Warning Tokyo concert from '84? That's amazing, too!

Oh yes. They even did some 'MYTH' material when they were Myth. :) I like The Prophesy.
