This live collection captures both chapters of the "Operation: Mindcrime" saga Queensrÿche concluded last year. Actors and props helped tell the story onstage, making the concert more theatrical than "Operation: LIVEcrime," the 1991 documentation of when the band played "Mindcrime" in its entirety. Seattle's native sons are sharply on point and rock the house, per usual, as they mix their welcome home with a goodbye to the double-album production. "Mindcrime II" will always be overshadowed by its big brother, but tunes like "The Hands," "Hostage" and "All the Promises" prove the album has its chops. The DVD is the real treat here, from the concert itself to the Seahawks Blue Thunder drum line raiding the stage and whipping militant call-to-arms "Anarchy X" into the coolest marching drill ever. A must for Rÿche and Rollers. —Christa L. Titus
