^^ I genuinely don't know... I had heard that in some shows, they originally intended to play all of Mindcrime I & II btb, but this made the show too long for some venue curfews, meaning it was much truncated....
I'd imagine that by next June, they will have got OM II out of their systems and play a more even mix from across their back catalogue.... ------------- Music has always been a matter of energy to me.

correction...I've heard elsewhere that they will be playing OM II on this tour...possibly in its entirety....  ------------- Music has always been a matter of energy to me.

They just released an album of cover songs last week too, so they might be including some of these songs. -------------

 Not for Queensryche, O:M II is quite possible the only 1 star album I have listened to in the last three years. ------------- Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005
