What the Critics Say
When Queensrÿche toured in 1991 in support of Empire, EMI released Operation: Livecrime, a limited-edition set containing both a videocassette and a CD of live performances. Interestingly, nothing from Empire is included on this hour-long CD, which instead focuses strictly on material from the acclaimed Operation: Mindcrime. In fact, all of the songs from Operation: Mindcrime are heard here. While EMI would have done better to release an official live album (perhaps a two-CD set?) that also contained some of the songs from Empire, inspired live performances of such gems as "The Needle Lies," "Eyes of a Stranger," "Anarchy-X," and "Electric Requiem" are nothing to complain about. [The 2001 Japanese reissue includes two additional live recordings from 1991: "The Lady Wore Black" and "Roads to Madness."] ~ Alex Henderson, All Music Guide
