Queensrÿche - In 1981, singer Geoff Tate, guitarists Chris DeGarmo and Michael Wilton, bassist Eddie Jackson and drummer Scott Rockenfield founded Queensrÿche. In 1988 Queensrÿche broke new musical ground with their legendary concept album Operation: Mindcrime. A detailed storyline, character development and strong songs contributed to make this the band’s most ambitious and innovative work to date. Operation: Mindrcime was an enormous popular and critical success. 1990’s Empire was a top ten sensation. Fueled by the hits of Silent Lucidity, Jet City Woman, and Another Rainy Night (Without You), the album sold more than four million copies. After the demise of EMI the band felt they wanted to start with Sanctuary by recapping the last 20 years with a live album and the new double live album, Live Evolution was recorded at the Moore Theater in Seattle.
