Queensryche: Geoff Tate, Michael Wilton, Kelly Gray, Eddie Jackson, Scott Rockenfield. Additional personnel: Pamela Moore (vocals). Recorded live at The Moore Theater, Seattle, Washington on July 27 & 28, 2001. Includes liner notes by Paul Gargano. Despite major changes in the musical climate by the dawn of the 21st century, veteran metal prog-rockers Queensryche admirably stuck by their guns and never considered jumping on bandwagons. 2001 saw the release of the group's second live album, LIVE EVOLUTION, recorded in their hometown of Seattle, at the Moore Theatre. The concert featured songs from all eras of their career, and the double disc, 29-track album is split into four separate suites accordingly: EP/WARNING, RAGE/MINDCRIME, EMPIRE/PROMISED LAND, and HITNF/Q2K, featuring something for just about every Queensryche fan past and present. Highlights include the early classics "Queen of the Reich" and "Take Hold of the Flame," such mid-career fare as "Eyes of a Stranger," "Empire," and "Jet City Woman," and their lone top-ten hit ballad, "Silent Lucidity." Rounding things out are renditions of more recent compositions such as "Sacred Ground," "The Right Side of my Mind," etc. The breadth of material included creates a well-balanced portrait of this pioneering band's work.
