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" 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
Great show, Judas Priest still rocks after all these years. The only issue is they ended the show early due to bad weather.
I thought tbe sound quality was terrible .made it very hard to enjoy the show.
Sabaton was awesome, new fan !!!! Now Priest was amazing, the last time I seen them I was 13 in 1984, in 2024 they sounded just as amazing!!!! Rob Hellfered is a Metal God, no doubt!!!! đ€đđ€ Still a little sad we missed the last to song because of the weather đ
Great show weather shortened tshirts rip off but priest killed it
After all these years, hats off to Judas Priest!! Some of these guys are in their 70âs and still rocking heavy! I use to listen to this music over 40 years ago and Iâm so grateful I was able to see them live for the first time. Rob Halford you are a blessing! Rock on!! đ€
Great show. Event site and staff great. Easy in and out.
Love, Love, Love Judas Priest ! The music was GREAT to hear & experience again. !
Overall a good experience. We had a great time. Rob and Priest sounded great. Section 206. My complaints...we arrived early with the intention of parking close to the entrance. We were the last few cars of the first leg, therefore we ended up at the end of the parking lot. I wish the parking attendees would have parked front to back and not individual rows. Food and drinks too expensive. $6 water, $14 miller lite, $17 seltzer $13 hotdogs, etc. Adjust the prices and cater to those who arrive early and I would give 5 stars.
Sabaton is a fantastic band, they need to come back as a head liner!
Concert was a good time. Judas Priest can still rock!
