That literally just gave me CHILLS!!! It started off a little off key, but he NAILED it by the end. I just can't believe he can still do this. We are so lucky.
Literally applauding and throwing horns up while listening to this alone in my bed when i should be sleeping.......rob is an absolute beast 🤘🤘 73 and still the best there is 🤯 the whole band sounds phenomenal 👏👏👏
, the new SCORPIONS album has some really good ones especially the extra tracks Unleash The Beast, When Tomorrow Comes, Shoot For Your Heart & Out Go The Lights. Peacemaker, Gas In The Tank, Shining Of Your Soul & Rock Believer are also pretty good. The only song I like of the new JP album is Panic Attack. The 80's were their best songs
As with all tours the first few dates are usually a bit rough around the edges and you can 100% hear which songs he's more comfortable with but unless he gets ill I think we'll have some fantastic shows coming up! And with that said I was surprised he sounded as good as he did back in 2018 and it's now 2024 and he's well into the 70's and still sound way better than should be seemingly possible lol
@@coreyfoster7322 Yea it for sure seems that way! There has been some rough spots in recent tours but most often that has been cause he's been ill and rarely and off day/week. And with how demanding the songs are I can imagine the line between sounding good and bad gets thinner and thinner with age. But yes I'm gonna see them later this year too and is very much looking forward to it!
@@Steeler_yes! I saw them at Foxwoods in CT when he was really sick (they canceled the following show) for me it’s like this: I was too young (or not born yet) to see them way back. Any chance I get now I will take because you never know when it will be the last. I also appreciate the uniqueness of each and every show.
I'm actually more bothered by the constant feedback from the Floor monitors than Rob's voice. He did amazing for a first show at 72 y/o, but that feedback is wildy unlike the Priest soundy. Wonder if its the venue? Either way
Před 2 měsíci+2
Yeah this very 1st gig was not Rob's best that's right, but I am pretty sure Rob will get better as the tour goes on
Wow! Thanks for posting. VoC is the one song that I ALWAYS want to see in the setlist. For this 62 yo metal head, who wore the grooves off of the Sad Wings of Destiny album, I never tire of hearing this epic song. While I'll always think that KK's version of the solo is the gold standard, I'm very impressed with Ritchie injecting his own personal flair into the solo....pretty freak'n awesome!
Jesus the front are really rocking 😳look like there at the library, WTF 😳 when I’ve seen them play that live I was going mental then crying at the end 😢a rollercoaster of a song, one that will be played at my funeral 💥🙏
I've been really enjoying reading everybody's stories, and thanks for sharing yours. This was an all-seated gig and, as such, didn't allow a lot of movement. The front row was also told to stand back and clear from the barrier early in the night. The crowd still tried to get involved with singing along, throwing up the horns, clapping and a little air guitaring on their confined spot 🤘
Fkn awesome. I think this tops even the version on Unleashed In The East. Richie's solo is off the scale and Rob's vox are still incredible. Chills !!!
Unbelievable! Rob and the band still rocking! Rob looks like Santa Claus in leather I just had to say but that’s not a criticism, just being funny and couldn’t help it! Thanks for sharing this video!
Not really a priest fan, but the band sound good and Halfords voice is incredible especially considering his age. I am amazed at the negative comments here from the usual " if theres a certain member missing its not really Judas Priest" which is really quite pathetic...bands grow/develop/lose members especially over 50 years! Then there are the personal attacks on how people look etc. Having been involved in the industry for many years may i suggest those who are complaining grow a pair of balls and see if they can get on a stage in front of thousands of people and play? It takes a certain kind of person to do it and Judas Priest and Saxon seem to be delivering the goods on this tour. Its a pity the crowd seem so reserved...almost like being in the States.
They should alter the setlist for the U.S.A. and put some gems in like island of domination,evening star,and grinder which they played on the British steel tour in 1980 in New York when they did a live radio broadcast on WLIR fm a day after 4th of July and they were blowing up M80’s in that small amphitheater on Long Island, the show is out there from the Calderone concert hall 4/5/80
@@rocknroll1964 halford's voice doesn't only have the high notes and the screams but he has a big range in the way he interprets each song. he has a much bigger range in how he performs the songs theatrically. tim owens is a singer with a huge range like young halford but he's American, more raw vocalist he doesn't have halford's lyricism
Rob was in unbelievable form. Priest really rocked, Saxon a tad too thrashy for me, enjoyed the older stuff (my era!!) and Roswell, but Uriah Heep, wtf???? Only 5 songs??? I hope Heep get a lot more airtime at the subsequent gigs, as their sound was brilliant. First time at the Hydro from west Cumbria. Brilliant venue. If you can catch this show, do so !!!
yes but Richie naileeeed that solo!! And Andy is much better than he was few years ago. While no one can replace Glenn and KK, I can still say that these two are awesome!
Indeed. And it seems its 'verboten' to acknowledge that the band is the poorer for it, now that the twin guitar attack that helped cement tneir legendary status is now sadly passed, as qualified as Mr. Faulkner is to replicate both guitar parts of classic songs. That doesmt take away from the new album, which is excellent.
Rob sounds great, but it's just not the same without Glenn and KK. I saw the real Judas Priest live a couple times back in the 70s and 80s. That's when Rob had long hair 🫨
Rob still a killer with the voice, but I really wish he would change his look. Lose the beard and nose ring and dress down a bit instead of the giant coat.
@@oldrichvoralek7716How many bands that are this old still have the original lineup touring? ZZ Top was able to make that claim until Dusty passed away and Motley Crue, albeit not as old, was still doing it until their fallout with Mick Mars but I really can't think of too many others unless it's a one off show here and there. If you want to see a band that's been out for 40+ years, with the original lineup, doing a full blown tour your options are limited. I think X is still touring and they were fantastic a few years back.
@@andypostema4269 I don t want to see original line-up from 1972. I live in 2024 and I want to see current 2024 line-up WITH ALL CURRENT MEMBERS! But not replecament hired guys.
The quality and pedigree of the players justifies continuing. I get it but Ritchie and Andy are both top notch…personally I’m a HUGE fan of Andy Sneap since his days in Sabbat.
Lets be honest,virtually every mobile phone video on youtube is of such a shite picture/sound quality,if you had never heard of or seen the band before then it would put you off going.
@@ANDREWHALL28 .....My apologies but my comment was really meant to reflect the love,excitement behind a great gig-enjoying said gig without having to film every single moment.It`s time some gigs totally banned mobile phones like some comedians do at their shows.You have paid to see your fave band so enjoy it.
Rob hitting that F5 at 8:20 at 73 years of age like it's nothing is just insane!
Of course
Halford's the man. Gonna see em at louder than life. Long live Priest!
Unbelievable !!!!! I love you Metal God ... 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
😂 F5, G#5 games... That's nothing for Rob Halford . You kidding? 😉👍
That literally just gave me CHILLS!!! It started off a little off key, but he NAILED it by the end. I just can't believe he can still do this. We are so lucky.
I can't believe how good Rob sounds. His voice is almost the same for 40+ years!
Literally applauding and throwing horns up while listening to this alone in my bed when i should be sleeping.......rob is an absolute beast 🤘🤘 73 and still the best there is 🤯 the whole band sounds phenomenal 👏👏👏
That solo Richie did was friggin wild
Still the best priest song for me
Absolutely. First song I ever heard from Priest
Not only that, I have always declared that the greatest metal tune of all time. This one never gets old for me!
@@TomJubb I hear you, even if I cannot agree ... Being a maiden fan the best metal song will always be hallowed be thy name... Ehehehe
@@DownMemoryLaneParis I can definitely respect that one! That song is certainly in the mix for best of all time!
Just watch KK Priest performance… is real one now… .😊
AWE-INSPIRING! I could listen to Richie solo all day long, and that is coming from someone who's been a hardcore KK fan since 1980.
Ian Hill 50 plus years in almost the same spot on stage. lol. Love Priest. Love the new cd. Hopefully Canadian dates come soon
Exactly..sometimes the forgotten member of JP
Andy is doing a phenomenal job! And again, Richie is nothing short of a BEAST!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Andy grew his hair out since I last seen him.
@@doug1929it's a nice toupee 😂
Good guy. I've been very pleased by the steady improvement of his stage presence.
A cliched beast. They just ruined this classic, and Rob has so much echo on his voice to disguise the fact he can't sing. Dreadful cliched nonsense.
, the new SCORPIONS album has some really good ones especially the extra tracks Unleash The Beast, When Tomorrow Comes, Shoot For Your Heart & Out Go The Lights. Peacemaker, Gas In The Tank, Shining Of Your Soul & Rock Believer are also pretty good.
The only song I like of the new JP album is Panic Attack. The 80's were their best songs
Judas Priest....still the Kings of Metal !!! Rob Halford's voice as great as ever !!!
*Priest
That scream at 7:30 hit as hard as ever. We were all screaming (for vengeance?) in our seats. 50+ years on and they are still killing it!
New era of Judas PRIEST ❤❤❤❤
I love Richie Richie ❤️
ROB is STILL going at it! Bloody incredible

Wow, Richie nailed that solo. And Rob sounds amazing as always. Respect to the Metal Gods 🙏🏻 🫡
I was getting chills during that solo bro
@@markusaurelius777 Ritchie playing Kens part made me realise what a shredder Ken was for 1976
tears to my eyes, Halford is a true legend
Omg, Rob nailing those highs in VOC at 72, I nearly cried.
Halford sounds so great
That audio sounds better than from where I was standing.
How is the audience not going crazy? That was insanely good. Hope they play it when I see them in May.
Holy shit Rob sounds good in this song!!!
This sounds f’n glorious! They’re all killing it…
Love this band.stills.amazing the new guys good.job.rob
Los años pasan y se me sigue poniendo la piel de gallina al escuchar este grito final de Halford

I play in a JP band that Scott sometimes sits in with us and when we add this to the set list with Scott on drums it gives me goosebumps every time.
Yea VOC and Genocide are my all time faves. I'm same age as you my first tour was Stained Class back when Rob actually had hair on his head LOL
Epic! greatest metal vocalist of all time!

Only 12 days left and I will see them in Frankfurt/Germany!! Hell Ya!!!!!!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤘🤘🤘🤘
Andy Sneap! Rob's vocals are supernatural!
Incredible performance! Wow!
My favourite priest song
Rob sounding great on this one great version for me!
Fuck yea!!!! Cant wait to aee ya again Rob!!! 14 shows since 86 🤘 still killin it LONG LIVE THE PRIEST 👊
WTF are all those people on the front row not moving a single finger???? I'd be banging my head like crazy. Best Priest song ever!
yeah Horrible Audience.....cold as Ice
Shame.
I thought the same. Look like they're queuing at the pishin post office. Look lively ya mongs.
trust me when I say I was behind and to the right of the camera tying my spinal cord into knots unknown to science
because not everyone who goes to shows are mindless apes. These people paid their ticket to watch the show and that's exactly what they did.
Halford reallyy goooodd in this live , his voiceis still the best
E o evangelho de Judas começa maia uma peregrinação mundisl.... Priest Priest Priest... Ave Judas yeeeeeeaaaaaahhhhhh
Wow rob still has it incredible love it brings back so many great memories long live heavy metal ❤holy crap those vocals
Simply Amazing!!! Long Live Heavy Metal!!!
Fkn awesome. I think this tops even the version on Unleashed In The East. Richie's solo is off the scale and Rob's vox are still incredible. Chills !!!
Unbelievable! Rob and the band still rocking! Rob looks like Santa Claus in leather I just had to say but that’s not a criticism, just being funny and couldn’t help it! Thanks for sharing this video!
Best Priest song imo.
Wow at 73 that’s amazing
Epic so epic band ❤❤❤❤❤🎯💥💥💥
Is it just me or Halford sounds unbelievably solid here?
Rob rules
8:20 holy SHIT
Goddamn Rob. I say goddamn!
Rob Halford IS the metal god and allways will be.
good to see Richie doing again 101% of his capacity since the incident
Sounds awesome
Sounds great!!
Thanks for posting all the vids! Gonna see them here in Mobile Alabama in May!🔥🔥🔥🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

Such a pity they didn't play it in Poland yesterday. Still, great show
How the fuck is Halford doing it??? I’m seeing them in April and can’t wait!!! 🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼
Great night 3 classic bands
best living singer
ripper KKpriest better ! Class better !
❤
LOL
To me he's best

Long live judas priest

Faulconer IS the beast in judas priest in this momento.
Formmed in the Dirty Deeds fucking great band Uk also,Up the irons.
I wish Rob sounded this good for the rest of the set. Odd thing, this sounds much better than where I was. The sound man was clearly very incompetent.
🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

Halford is Immortal like his tattoo on his nape

This song should be mandatory on the set not The 3 Radio hits 😂
Uncle Albert there!
whats uncle albert doing singing for priest ;)
Man....Halford is God !
Ahahah!!! Robb seems a little too much disappointed at tghe first verse with anybody was behind the curtain!!
Nice wig, Andy!
Thx guys and girls!
What said the merch table?
Pricing?
Products?
☺️
I am fucking broke, but there is Priest on tour.
☠️🔫
The tees looked sick, but the £40 price tag had my wallet clenched tighter than an a**s holding in a fart.
Thx.
In germany they would take 45€, like Maiden last year. 💀🔫
Maybe i could save sone money for the concerts in July.
The crowd are so flat , METAL LEGENDS 🤘🤘
where is Tipton????????
You live under a rock?
Glenn is suffering from Parkinson's, so he had to retire from regular touring.
Seriously
Where is glen tipton?
Who hell is doing sound for these arena gigs? Dont think they have a clue
cannot believe that guy in front of you kept holding up his camera. He was totally blocking your camera. How rude.
Rob Halford Band featuring Ian Hill
Who’s the other guitarist playing with Ritchie?
Andy Sneap. Ex of Sabbat and Hell and undoubtedly the best metal producer out there today.
Rob Haldford es una llegenda!
priest Richie looks so -like Otis in house of a thousand corpses
Rob sounds great, but it's just not the same without Glenn and KK. I saw the real Judas Priest live a couple times back in the 70s and 80s. That's when Rob had long hair 🫨
Kk's priest
Is Andy wearing a wig?
he let his hair grow since a time now
Yes.
????? some people play JP priest😊
Omg this audience appears seemingly dead 😱 even during Richie‘s horny solo! A concert in a retirement home 🫣
No disrespect. Rob is not the same. It’s incredible what he can still do live at his age but I want him to go out on top.
Rob still a killer with the voice, but I really wish he would change his look. Lose the beard and nose ring and dress down a bit instead of the giant coat.
Nah, he's metal af
sounds great but honestly...this is hard to watch
It feels and sounds like a tribute band without Glenn.
No the same without KK and Glenn
These crowd its dead
For me, no need to hit those high notes. I love his voice anyway.
No Glen, no Judas Priest.
Glenn is still in the band and his writing is all over the new album.
