3 songs (in a row) Mindcrime limit / Queensryche

Post by strangeways »

I always wondered this.

The Queensryche split has been well documented.

We all know Mr. Tate was basically bought out and got the rights to perform Mindcrime in its entirety ala Waters with the Wall.

What I always wondered was just how many songs could Queensryche perform from Mindcrime in a row before being in violation of said agreement.
The answer?
3
Any more than that ....but as Geoff Tate says "It's not like there is a Queensryche police or anything ...."

Wow, I didn't know about this issue with those songs being performed live. I just saw the band spit and go it's separate ways. I've never seen them without Geoff but I have seen Geoff solo.

I've seen them many a time now without Geoff and prefer it that way.
I've seen Geoff solo as well and he is good, but Todd is great and the material they have released without Tate I like over anything the band released with Tate after Promised Land.
