| Queensryche - The Art Of Live |
 Released: 2004 Label: Sanctuary Records Cat. No.: Total Time: | |
Reviewed by: Keith Muzikman Hannaleck, May 2004 Queensryche is an amazing group and seeing them perform live brings their legacy and music into focus. I highly recommend catching one of their live shows, in color. You are probably saying, why is he saying in color right? Well, amazingly enough this entire DVD, with the exception of three short interviews, is in black and white. Can you believe it? Now how dumb is that with all of the available technologies and effects you can include with a DVD today. What marketing genius decided to do this? It really is a shame because this is a great performance and this DVD will most certainly tank once everyone (with the exception of diehards) finds out it is all black and white. You figure maybe one song or parts of a song would be in black and white, that is quite common now, but not the entire performance! This is great music and vintage Queensryche. I really did love watching and listening to this band perform, even though there was that nagging irritation that I just could not shake. Okay, I have made my point. I guess what made it all worthwhile was watching them perform with Dream Theater on the same stage the classic tunes “Best I Can” and “Won’t Get Fooled Again,” that in some way makes up for all the underlying disappointment. I have to admit it; if I read a review like this and was thinking about buying this DVD, I would be putting my wallet back in my pocket.
