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 stage show but the sound was off for Judas Priest. Tough to hear Rob during some of the songs.
Great concert That’s all I will say. Every fan should see them life at least once
Having never been to the Rosemont theater before ,both bands were amazing,what a great show and experience.Being a lifelong Judas Priest fan , Rob and the boys still have it 🫶🏻🫶🏻😁
Don't hesitate, just get the tickets and go! Worth every penny.
Judas Priest were absolutely spectacular! Also loved to see Sabaton together with them!
Good crowd, even better band. Though at times I coulda done without the echo effect on Rob's voice... ...they ALL still brought a solid show. Another off my bucket list!
I have seen Judas Priest in excess of ten times and Sabaton for the third time now. This was a fantastic concert in an enjoyable amphitheater setting. Sabaton immediately captivated the audience with their World War II-inspired metal marches. The sound system for the band was very clear and incredibly clean. I could easily hear the words of the songs and the banter between the band and the audience. As far as clarity goes, the sound was better for Sabaton than for Judas Priest. However, the mighty Priest were still very much in top form and Rob Halford in powerful voice. By far the best they’ve looked and sounded since the glory days of the 70s-80s. The stage presentation was really inviting and added quite a bit to the overall experience. Priest played five songs off of the new album Invincible Shield. That can be good or bad depending on your perspective. For someone who has heard all of the classics and hits, this was very much welcomed as the songs off this album are quite strong. I enjoyed them as they translated very well in a live setting. The band looked energized playing the new material. Very well done. I rate this show very highly and felt that it was definitely money well spent. Long live Judas Priest and Sabaton!
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
