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.
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
It was my first time to see Judas Priest.......glad I went, Great Show
One of my favorite bands growing up. Haven’t seen them in 40 years. They did not disappoint. And Everwise Amphitheatre is an awesome place for concerts.
Sabaton just became one of my favorite bands after that show. I owe my 13 yr old a huge thank you for introducing me to this band! Gave 4 stars only because we didn't stick around for Judas Priest.
The opening act for Judas Priest was Sabaton from Sweden but I had never heard of. They put on a great show to kick the night off. They had a great sound and very heavy. Enjoyed they greatly. Judas Priest then hit the stage and Rob and the rest of the boys put on one hell of a show. For being in his early 70's Rob sure knows how to rock out!!! Had a great time.
I was Indy to visit a friend and took some time to see PRIEST again. Fantastic show.. The venue was amazing and the staff was very friendly and great at their jobs
I wasn't familiar with Sabaton prior to the concert. Thier style of music isn't for me but they did put on an entertaining show and performed well. Judas Priest was impressive. I have seen them multiple times throughout the years, starting on the Turbo tour and the last show I saw prior to this one was on the Firepower tour and several times in between those tours. This was my favorite performance of theirs, even though I did miss seeing K.K. and Glenn on stage. Rob can still hit the notes. He can even still hold them, even though he did have a little help from digital delay. It was still my favorite performance from them. It is definitely a show worth seeing. On a side note, this was the loudest concert I have seen in several years, and I go to between 10-20 concerts a year. To give you an idea how loud it was, the last concert I saw that was close to this loud was Slayer at an indoor 2,00 seat venue years ago. It was loud but the sound was very clean. It wasn't loud in a bad way. It was outdoors, loud, and sounded great. It was impressive. If you have hearing sensitivities, bring ear plugs. You'll need them. For the rest of you, buy your ticket, go to the show, and enjoy being completely immersed into the music.
Amazing performances from both Sabaton AND The Almighty Judas Priest‼️‼️‼️ Loved the lights and backdrops, too!! Plenty of great songs in the setlist to keep me on my feet all night long‼️💯🤘🏼🤘🏼
Excellent concert. Superb venue. Rob Halford's voice still wails. The entire band was on-point. Sabaton impressed me- I wasn't a fan at first, but I must say their live show changed my mind! They are way better live! These bands did not disappoint!
It was an awesome bill. Both bands were great! I was on pit and it was great because it wasn’t overcrowded
Excellent show! Judas Priest delivered and it was 100% Awesome!
Still rocking after all these years! This is my first time seeing Priest in concert. It was better than I expected! Rob must have sold his soul to the devil to still be able to hit those crazy high notes after all these years. Wow!!
I had not listened to Judas Priest really since British Steel came out in 1980. I moved to a condo recently and bought a 65 inch TV and saw their live 1983 videoed concert from California and I was blown away, within 2 months I had studied 19 albums and became obsessed with them, I could almost write a book about them now LOL. I battled my way to the front of the stage when they played in Indiana so I had a bird's eye view of the stage and in front of Richie Falcon Faulkner. The only thing I regret is the light show was so good and I missed most of that being up front and what I've seen from people farther back it was really amazing so that's my only regret but I love the Metal God and Judas Priest forever.
I've seen Priest dozens of times and they have never failed to nail it! Rob Halford is seventy-two and sings like he's thirty. Great energy, great sound, and great visuals!
Just saw Judas Priest at an outdoor concert venue in Indy. Very impressive show - hadn't seen them in almost 40 years. The band was tight, played old and new material for almost 2 hours. What was most impressive was Rob. I honestly cannot believe he can still belt out all their songs when so many of his peers have lost the voice of their youth. Well worth going to see JP. The opening act, Sabaton, put on a great performance as well so don't miss them.
Went to see Judas Priest at Vavellu center in Youngstown Saturday night ,excellent place,the sound was great ,I like a smaller venue!!
Sabaton was so good. I wish they could of played more songs. I could of listened to them all night.
What a fabulous show. Band was fantastic! The crowd was packed and electric! Loved every second! The level of musicians talents is endless.
The show was good. A smaller venue made it more intimate. I can’t believe those guys are still able to get up on the stage. I give them credit. I’m sure at 80 years old. I won’t be doing that !! All in all a great show.
