It would be cool but Queensryche couldn't do much older stuff since Geoff's voice has lost that insane range he once had.

Geoff's been losing range since Operation Mindcrime, just watch the LiveCrime video, it's like hearing a completely different voice even though it was only three years later.

That's not quite true. In 2009 they played "One and only" from Empire live for the first time, and "I dream in infrared" from Rage For Order was done for the first time live in.... was it 2008?

Plus, all of the songs from the EP, The Warning, Rage, Mindcrime, Empire, Promised Land, Mindcrime II, American Soldier has been played live now (and almost all of Q2K), so there's really only songs from Hear in the now frontier, Q2K and Tribe that has never been played live - and most people don't want to hear that stuff....

I decided yesterday I'm going to this. Can't really pass up the opportunity to see them 10 minutes from home for $18. Gotta be honest, I'd rather they didn't do a set representing every album, because there's just no songs on most of these albums that I like as much as any song on Mindcrime or The Warning... but nevertheless, it's not bad. Very psyched to see NM156/Screaming in Digital and Real World. Also, "The Hands" is one of the O:MII songs I genuinely like, so props there. The only crime here is the absence of "Take Hold of the Flame" from what's supposed to be their 30th Anniversary Tour's setlist.
