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.
Enjoyed the venue and show. Acoustics were great. Staff friendly and organized. Only complaint, small seats. I'm not a large person and I had difficulty squeezing my backend into those tiny chairs.
I really wasn’t sure what to expect. I knew it would be fun because it would bring back so many memories. But I was very pleasantly surprised. Rob still has it. They were loud on point for a band that’s been around so long they still rock with the best of them. My ears rang for two days. If you consider yourself a fan of heavy metal, you absolutely must see this. show.
Best concert I've seen in a long time Rob Halford can still kick ass
My first time seeing these guys but I’ve been listening to their music for 40yrs. As a child of the 80’s I only wanted to hear Turbo Lover honestly but man they were fabulous all around! Electric Eye was gold!
We had a pretty good time. The band(s) definitely delivered. Would've been a 5 star if people didnt start smoking a cigarette a row infront of me and my asthmatic boyfriend 🙃. The sound mixing was a little funky but they still killed it during the show. I would definitely see them again!
I’ve been a JP fan for so long, an I was totally amazed of how great they still are. Everything was perfect. I loved the set list, and it still felt fresh with some of the more recent album songs. Very happy I got to experience JP again !!
I loved this concert Judas Priest were as great as they have ever been they played a 2 hr set also Sabaton opened and they also were great I suggest anyone who sees this review to go get your ticket to this tour you won't regret it
Amazing and Powerful Show. Judas Priest was awesome and cranked. Location across from casino and hotel was perfect. Great Setup
The show was spectacular! The staff on the other hand was rude and one fun patrol freak physically pushed me and EVERYONE was videotaping…. But they rudely yelled at me to stop video recording… wow!!! Control freak much?!? Push a girl… for no reason… lucky I have patience now and wasn’t hammered or all bets woulda been off! Love you Judas Priest!!!! Rock on!!
Priest played straight through. No stopping.. Halford still has the pipes
The concert was awesome!!! My little brother and I were able to buy our merchandise and navigate easily. Sabaton and Judas Priest were great!! The lights how and performances were top of the line. First ever concert for me, will definitely not be the last
Awesome to have a Rock show at the Cross Center, and to have it be Priest was amazing. The staff did a great job, our seats were excellent, the sound and effects were great, it was a totally enjoyable event. Keep bringing in great artists, it's very much appreciated.
Great venue, seating and parking. Does gets a lil crowded and long lines near the merch tables when getting to seats not a deal breaker. Rock on all.
I was not impressed with the opening band at all. Lead singer was good, but their message was outdated. Lead singer kept leaving the stage and not to do costume changes. Annoying. I saw Priest 10 years ago and they rocked the venue and brag about the show all the time. For his age, Rob Halford is still rocking it. He didn't sing the chorus on the first two or three songs, but nailed the high notes. As the show went on Rob was on point. Priest will always rule!
Awesome show!!! Played all classics and some surprise cuts. Halford sounded great especially at his age! Full on energy for the entire show!!! Will definitely catch them again! Go see them if you haven’t in a while! You won’t regret it!
On Sunday,the Priest was back. They were hard and heavy. Unbelievably good. Sound quality was excellent from my seat. Really didn't sit though. Too busy raising horns and clapping. Met a great lady and we sang along and headbanged together all night.I really liked Sabaton. Will now be checking out their catalog.
Judas Priest has been my band since 1977 and once again this concert and their new album is Fantastic!!!! The concert music set, the guitars, the singing, and the light display was spot on!!!!!! Once again guys,......."You Rock!!!!!"
Awesome Show in Reading, Pa. as usual!! Great night with Daughter!!
Opening band was very good .Judas Priest show why they are the original heavy metal band .light show was great .
Just a great concert from the moment Sabaton hit the stage until Judas Priest walked off. First experience hearing Sabaton live and they were hard driving and great opener. As for Judas Priest, waited over 4 decades for total awesomeness! The music and energy was off the chart!
