Judas Priest always delivers on stage. Thunder drums, solid bass, best 2-guitar balanced attack, and .... the guy with the amazing voice and unmatched on-stage presence and command, all respect to Mr Halford! I would have liked a longer set though, 4 more songs.... say... A touch of Evil for the Hellrider on the lake of the Lochness to save the Future of Mankind :-)
The energy and power were amazing. Hope they come back soon.
OMG, what an amazing show. David Coverdale and Whitesnake were is great form. Coverdale sounds totally amazing. As sexy as ever. This was my first time seeing Judas Priest and I was totally blown away. I have a whole new respect for Judas Priest and totally love their music. It was a high energy show from start to finish. I would recommend seeing Whitesnake and/or Judas Priest to anyone who loves a good hard rock show.
It was my first Judas Priest concert as well as Whitesnake. Both were NOT a letdown! I had heard in recent years that Whitesnake's shows weren't the greatest, but this one was the complete opposite. When they opened with "Bad Boys" it was obvious that they were really tight! They turned out all the hits and had the crowd going. David Coverdale still has his voice and it was really amazing. The other members of the band were really great as well, especially the guitar playing of Reb Beach and Doug Aldrich. The moments leading up to Judas Priest were intense. The audience was pumped and it was easy to see how the fans were really devoted. All of their songs were in sync both musically and vocally. The dual guitars of KK Downing and Glen Tipton was phenomenal! Rob Halford let out screams that sent the fans into a frenzy! At the end of the show Rob came out with a Canadian flag around his back which got a great reaction out of the crowd and it was a nice touch. All in all, for a first time seeing both bands, I wasn't dissapointed and I'd definitely go back to see them again!
Not much to say really with bands like Priest and Whitesnake. They came from an era where musicianship and performance were first! The look was icing on the cake. Very talented and yet hard working to perfect their craft.
top notch form...KK blew my little mind. British Steel is ea sly the best metal record ever. Halford looks like he did 20 years ago. It was sunny
Best show of the year. Kept us rocking for the whole show.
very good show, very good sound and pace of the play. Priest was great and sounds 100% real. Whitesnake was not soo good, too much guitar solo and base from the drums ws overloaded. Still good music and quality rock.
Judas Preist rocked with all their great hits , including the complete British Steel Album The background sets and laser show were an added bonus. The encore on the Harley Davidson to Free Wheel Burnin' was awesome! Great show, glad I attended, great seats as well.
As Chris Bilton wrote: Flanked by crudely stencilled logos spray-painted on the drum riser and amp coverings, as well as a huge coat of arms bearing two lions and the classic white snake (not the vulvic Come An’ Get It snake) Whitesnake get wild in the streets on “Bad Boys” and offer relationship advice through rockers like “Fool for your Lovin’” and “Love Ain’t No Stranger.” Maybe it’s his affable Englishness, or the fact that his blonde mane is as impressive as ever, but singer and sole original member David Coverdale seems to have a great sense of humour about fronting Whitesnake at age 57. Even if Coverdale can’t quite hit the chorus of “Here I Go Again,” the vision of a young and unsullied Tawny Kitaen embedded in our MTV minds has the crowd singing the chorus for him. A stage-shrouding banner depicting the industrial sprawl of Judas Priest’s home town of Birmingham, England that reads “Welcome to the home of British Steel” drops to the floor as the band launches into “Rapid Fire” and we begin our album-length journey. Wrapped in leather and denim, and hidden behind mirrored shades, singer Rob Halford appears to be pacing himself as he sings the first two songs slightly hunched over and unmoving. But by the iconic “Breaking the Law” and hilariously-menacing “Grinder,” Halford is absolutely killing the high notes and stalking the stage with the confidence of a man wielding an oversized razor blade. Guitarists Glenn Tipton and K.K. Downing work out on the whammy bars during the ample blues-shredding guitar solos, but it’s the post-British Steel tracks like “Ripper” and crazy Nostradamus concept-album cut “Prophecy” where their intricate duelling lines shine. Still, nothing is quite as visually and sonically stunning as Halford — now in full leathers — riding a rumbling (and amplified) motorcycle onstage for the “Freewheel Burning” encore.
Excellent concert. The sound was superb for Judas Priest, a little lacking for Whitesnake. It was a loud, high energy, heavy metal blasting which had everyone singing along. The audience was standing the entire show and giving back as much as they were getting. A memorable evening indeed!!
This was not one of Judas Priest's best outings but for the dedicated Judas Priest fan it was certainly an entertaining evening. Celebrating the 30th anniversary of the relase of their album " British Steel " they started the show by playing the album in it's entirety from beginning to end. Highlights included " Breaking The Law ", " Livinh After Midnight " and " United " . After completing the whole album it was time to get into some classics but if you were going for the well known hits you'd have been disappointed...no " Love Bites " or " Painkiller " but a selection of rarer songs that only the truly dedicated could appreciate " Diamonds And Rust " and " Victims of Change " stood out while " freewheel Burning" seemed forced. The evening closed with the Heavy metal anthem " You've Got Another Thing Coming " getting the crowd up and singing which they should have done 45 mins prior to this rather than wait till the end of the night Eighties icons " Whitesnake " gave a great opening 60 minutes covering mostly hits from their classic albums " Slide It In " and " Slip Of the Tounge ". The name of the band should be changed to David Coverdale & Co. as he is the only original member in the band and just using the Whitesnake name to milk attention. Overall it was a fun night and a beautilful night weather wise but by no means a memorable or classic show.
This concert was truly amazing. Judas Priest sound is incredible, no rock fan should miss the 2009 tour.
Great show! British Steel in it's entirity! AWESOME!
Everything was amazing....we were really close to the stage and enjoyed both bands...Had a blast...too bad it is over:( Loved the America Express lounge aferwards for the afterparty...
Amazing show all around. Played British Steel from front to back. Threw in the finest classics - Diamonds and Rust, Victim of Changes (Halford still has the best rock scream ever).
Best concert I have seen in years!!!! Whitesnake was great as well... stood screaming and rocking out to the whole set, everyone was right into it
saw them in them twice in the 80's and still good as ever!
