Operation: Mindcrime This Saturday 21/8/19

"It was great to see 'Sister Mary' appear again, this time superbly performed by Tate's daughter Emily. After a brief pause, the band are back to launch into a selection of cuts from the 'Empire' album. 'Best I Can' is followed by 'Empire' and then its a more reflective mood for 'Silent Lucidity'. The gig closes with 'Jet City Woman'." That was part of our take on Geoff Tate at London's The Underworld back in December 2018 (pictured and today's Video Of The Day), and Tate forms part of a mouthwatering line-up at Stonedeaf 2019 this Saturday 24th August at the Newark Showground with headliner Glenn Hughes supported by Inglorious, Wayward Sons, Massive, Diamond Head, The Amorettes, Phil Campbell And The Bastard Sons and Samarkind.
