AnybodyListening.net, the QUEENSRŸCHE Retrospective website, reports that the band's appearance on Wednesday's (August 1st) edition of Rockline saw the group run through the following live set: 'Anarchy-X', 'Revolution Calling', 'Speak', 'The Needle Lies', 'I Don't Believe In Love', 'Waiting For 22', 'Eyes Of A Stranger', 'I'm American', 'One Foot In Hell', 'Hostage', 'The Hands', 'Signs Say Go', 'The Whisper', 'Empire', 'Jet City Woman' (Take 1), 'Jet City Woman' (Take 2).

Late last month, Billboard.com's Christa Titus filed the following report:

Queensrÿche has begun working on the follow-up to last year's Operation: Mindcrime II in Seattle. Frontman Geoff Tate tells Billboard.com he hopes the as-yet-untitled set will arrive next summer or fall.

"We're just into the first couple months of writing for it, and it's a theme record. It's based on modern American life, sort of a social commentary," Tate says. "Musically it's very adventurous for us. It's something we haven't done before. It's going to take a lot of people by surprise, and at the same time I think they're going to be very intrigued by the concept of it."

The band, which hits the road in September with HEAVEN AND HELL and ALICE COOPER, will release Sign Of The Times, its second greatest-hits collection on EMI, prior to the tour. Among hits like 'Walk In The Shadows' and 'Silent Lucidity', the two-disc set contains rarities like songs from Myth, the band Tate sang in before joining Queensrÿche, that later became demos for early QR tunes like 'No Sanctuary'.

Sign Of The Times also includes a recent interview with Tate and former Queensrÿche guitarist Chris DeGarmo. In it Tate says he and DeGarmo hang out often and write together, but the musical work they've done is on a "casual" basis.

Meanwhile, Queensrÿche is enjoying the success of its double-CD/DVD package Mindcrime At The Moore. The live set captures the band playing both Mindcrime albums in their entirety on tour last year. Released July 3rd, the title debuted at a career-best No. 1 on Billboard's Top Music DVD chart.
