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" â 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.Â
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 đ«¶đ»đ«¶đ»đ
Was glad I got the tickets back in February. Mainly came for Sabaton, but also had a mother who was an old school Judist Priest fan. Definitely give the overall experience a 4 or higher. Got there early and got great parking next to the theater. Concessions a little pricey, but then again movie popcorn or drinks anywhere are although my mother loved the giant novelty tequila slushy. Sabaton was over-the-top for performances IMO. Judist Priest sang alot of songs although seemed stiffer and less entertaining in comparison, yet still impressed the fans. The sound system seemed set for nails-on-chalkboard screeching; I was able to make out Sabaton alright but 90% of Judist Priest's notes came out ear-bleeding and took a day-and-a-half for my ears (it gives me a reminder to get ear protection next time) to recover. It was good that the theater had accommodations for the disabled, as both my mother and a friend had mobility issues that parking and seating eased. A memorable experience thanks to Ticketmaster!
After 50 years, Judas Priest never disappoints. Good set list although no real risks or deep cuts. Richie and Andy are fierce on dual guitars. Donât call this a cover band. Donât!
Awesome as always. But Richieâs guitar kept cutting in and out. Bad at the end. But still a great show. Ian Hill was steady and pure. Rob at the top of his game. Love me a little Priest on a Wednesday night!
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 theyâve 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 showâŠâŠRob 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 Iâm 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
It was my first time to see Judas Priest.......glad I went, Great Show
One of my favorite bands growing up. Havenât seen them in 40 years. They did not disappoint. And Everwise Amphitheatre is an awesome place for concerts.
