Judas Priest on Tour
British heavy metal powerhouse Judas Priest has released 22 albums over four decades. They laid much of the groundwork for the heavy music of the 80s with their two guitar attack of revved up blues-based riffs They continue to tour, treating metal fans to extravagant live shows and spirited renditions of their unmistakable anthems. Ticket holders are sure to get to a concert early because they don't want to miss Singer Rob Halford's stage entrance. He emerges from a cloud of fog riding on a Harley Davidson, clad head to toe in leather-studded S&M gear. The band released a live DVD of their Epitaph World Tour in May 2013, which well received and features 23 tracks covering most eras of the bands storied career.
Judas Priest in Concert
The group formed in 1969 in Birmingham, England and released their first album in 1974 entitled Rocka Rolla. This was soon to be followed by Sad Wings of Destiny in 1976, which gained the group a wider audience in the UK. The group's next three albums: Sin After Sin, Stained Class and Hell Bent for Leather were released in 1977, 1978 and 1979 respectively, and showed a band evolving its sound into shorter songs that still retained a heavy metal punch. Next came the album British Steel in 1980, which featured "Living After Midnight", "Breaking the Law" and "United" — all earning regular radio play. Point of Entry was released in 1981, followed by Screaming For Vengeance in 1984, which went double platinum. The 2008 concept album Nostradamus found them pushing boundaries by challenging their listeners to consider how "metal" the man of prophetic talents actually was. Over the next four years the band toured relentlessly and they show no signs of letting up, with an impressive schedule of tour dates on the books for 2014.
Great venue, great seats, great show……Rob Halford can still belt it out!,,,,,,
Great set list, played at least one song from most of there albums. Rob's voice is still sharp in his normal high range. Band was tight and active. Sabaton was again a great opener. Polished performance that got the audiences moving.
Just seen priest and sabaton at the Rosemont theater,venue was kinda small but the atmosphere was electric
Playing a (few) of their new CD songs, which I and a lot of others new little about and had nothing to hang with, they should have filled their short time in Bangor with the songs that made them famous and loved. Where was "Bloodstone", "Metal Gods", "Breaking the Law", "No Surrender", "Never the Heroes", and/or "You've Got Another Thing Coming". All in all I would still give their performance a 9. From a fan since 1974. Love you guys. ED
Sabaton and Judas Priest were so good I’m going again soon.
Trembling and gnashing of teeth!!! These guys cannot fail to satisfy!!!
First time I saw Judas Priest was back in the EARLY eighties and started a 40 year affair with the Priest. Third time I saw them and the Metal Gods did not disappoint. Great music, great crowd and great staff. Couldn't have had a better time.
Seeing Rob scream-sing Painkiller live is quite an experience. Victim of Changes was awesome too. Great guitar work. Bass player and drummer dead on. Crowd loved it. Good job, JP! Worth going to see.
It was my first time seeing Sabaton and Judas Priest, Amazing performances and an awesome night!
Venue great. Sound perfect. Would definitely return to see another show
