Queensryche - O2 Indigo - 22nd June 2008

Back to the 02 Indigo - which was strange because with Santana playing in the middle there was over 22,000 people there. Only one road out later though!!

Tonight was for the fans as they cancelled last years trip with Thin Lizzy. As compensation we got Operation Mindcrime 1 and 2 back to back with crystal clear sound,actors,video footage et al telling us the story of Nikki over 2 and a half hours.

A very decent size crowd gathered and we got the works. Geoff Tate sang his heart out and played the part of Nikki with great gusto. The band played superbly and Pamela Moore guest starred. Mindcrime 1 is in my top 5 cds of all time so to see what only the US had was special. We had seen them do 1 in its entirety in 1990 but to see both was fantastic. The story was told to a dramatic conclusion and the band deserved every last bit of applause.

Three songs off Empire: Best I Can, Jet City Woman and Empire were greeted like long lost cousins to end a fantastic night. 10/10
So 4 gigs in 12 days or 3 in 5 and now 13 days off before we see a small English band play on a rugby pitch.Quite looking forward to that!!!
