So I found this on Google.


"Queen of the Ryche took the stage to give us their Queensryche show. I had heard good things about this cover band that was spawned by a combination of cover and original acts. As much of a fan of Queensryche as I am, I am very unfamiliar with a lot of their early work, which had me lost as the show started — I did not recognize either one! I will say that despite not knowing the songs, I was surprised to no end listening to what sounded just like Geoff Tate. Seriously, this guy sounded amazing, a physically imposing stage presence delivering an incredible range.

The one thing that took a bit of getting used to was the presence of a keyboard in place of a second guitar. At first, it was odd listening to those parts that are so closely associated with the strings translated to the keys, but it worked. This was a tribute band, but they did not settle on simply mimicking the band, they added their own flavor to the music, and it sounded good. After the first pair of unknowns, they broke into a track that I did know, "I Walk in Shadows." Following that we got something a little different, we got an original song from the band's backup singer, a young woman with a powerful voice; she sang a song that was fantastic and made me want to hear more of her band's work, dedLilith.

Next up, they had a surprise up their sleeves for us — they played Kiss' "Stutter" and Judas Priest's "Touch of Evil." They played both perfectly, particularly the Priest cut, which is off my favorite Priest album, Painkiller. Then we were into the centerpiece of their set, a suite of songs from Queensryche's breakthrough Operation: Mindcrime. They opened with "Revolution Calling" then moved into "Operation Mindcrime," "The Mission," and "Suite Sister Mary." This whole section was great, the keyboards started to really sink in during this segment, I really liked the dimension they added, besides, the guy playing them was very good. To end the set they went back to the back catalog, playing "Take Hold the Flame" and "Queen of the Reich." Overall, this was one of the better cover bands that I have seen. Granted I have not seen all that many, but these guys had the chops to back it up. This is definitely a band I would be interested in seeing again.

After an hour of Queen of the Ryche, they left the stage, although I would have loved to have heard more. I would have liked to have heard something from Empire, hopefully next time. The curtain came down as the stage was set for our second headliner."
