TypeO Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 About 2 weeks ago my friend called asked did I want to go see a concert. Seems his wife bought 2 tickets for Judas Priest and Whitesnake because she liked Whitesnake, and he could tolerate Whitesnake to see Priest for the umpteenth time. Well, suddenly Whitesnake cancels, so she doesn't want to go at all. I was more than happy to see the Priest for the 2nd time. Absolute best seats I've ever had for a major show - orchestra row 16 (just out of bodily fluids range). And because the 30th anniversary of the release of British Steel is coming up, they performed the entire album. Oh yeah. Don't know if you've ever seen JP, especially lately, but they still bring 110%. A lot of older bands are just kinda propped up onstage as they run through their hits, but suffice it to say the Priest are still Hellbent. Got some cool phone vids but of course the audio is totally blown out. Here are half the phone pics: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TypeO Posted August 24, 2009 Author Share Posted August 24, 2009 Short vid of KK and Glenn with semi-intelligible audio... I've got the entire vid of Free Wheel Burning when Rob rides onstage on the badass Harley, but the audio is completely blown out. But it's SOOOOOO fuggin' cool! Tonight I'm gonna try to edit it to just the opening minute when he rides out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redrum Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 I always felt that the song and video 'Turbo Lover' was one of the rockin'-est songs ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TypeO Posted August 25, 2009 Author Share Posted August 25, 2009 The closest I came to a disappointment about the show is they didn't play The Hellion/Electric Eye. I don't think a song more perfectly suited as a live opening song exists. They DID open with it when I saw them in '05. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope all is well with all of you. My employer let us go home early today and I'm lovin' every minute of it. Rather than go drinking at the bar all day, I decided to come home and get some things done around the house and be on the computer today. "Type0," I LOVE JUDAS F*C*ING PRIEST!!!!!! I already saw them live twice here in San Antonio at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater. The band sounded great! I love the "British Steel," "Hell Bent For Leather" and "Screaming For Vengeance" albums, these albums kick ass! ROCK ON! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Verizon Wireless is apparently quite active in the amphitheater business, as it was the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater in Atlanta (Alpharetta actually) where I saw JP. And it was the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater in Charlotte where I saw Rush the last 2 times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like Verizon Wireless is not only going to corner the entire Amphitheater market, they should corner the stadiums and theaters as well. I swear, you see the Verizon Wireless logo everywhere now. ROCK ON my friend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
