Well I'm back from my first Judas Priest concert and I have to say I am pretty bloody happy! We managed to get to the front on Glenns side - after Godsmack played we moved forward before Exodus came on (that was fucking insane, the mosh pit was pushing us all over but we stood strong haha).
A half hour after Exodus left the stage, War Pigs started playing. I knew what was coming and got very excited lol. Then, Battle Cry played as Judas Priest (bar Rob) entered the stage. They ripped in to Dragonaut and Rob came out and the crowd went wild - even more wild than when the song started a few seconds before haha. I sang to every song and I'm sure Glenn looked straight at me a few times. They played 1hr20min and it was worth every single minute. The setlist was excellent (will write it below) and included a song from most albums, including 3 off ROS. We were stunned to say the least when, as the final encore, they ripped in to Painkiller! Rob sounded AMAZING, seriously good and I'm not being biast at all, he killed Painkiller!
Highlights for me were Victim of Changes, Beyond the Realms of Death and Devils Child. But honestly, I loved the whole set. At the end, I got a guitar pick from Glenn! He actually hopped off the stage and handed them out, it was awesome. Scott tried to throw his drumstick to me - was looking straight at me, threw TO ME etc - but the tall fat dude next to me got his greasy mit in the way and snatched it out of the air. That was the only downer of it all.
Overall, Priest were incredible, every member was amazing and I am so so happy and thankful that I have finally gotten to see them live.

Might depend on the phone. Mine required a major update before being able to respond to PMs. Still can't do the smileys, though.

He really is...! Throws out picks like crazy too! Heavy 2mm suckers. I was singing and pointing at him during "Devil's Child" in Detroit and he drilled me in the chest with one! LOL!!!

Yeah, Richie, 2x during Epitaph and 2x on ROS.
Too funny he was so quick and lucid. "Ahhhhhh! I get it!" was his response.

Yeah I forever love K.K.Downing,we all do ...and Richie Faulkner is just a breath of fresh air.
He really has become the heart beat of this band now....his ENERGY is unmatched....
.....his solos and style are so diffrent than K.K.'s yet so Judas Priest.He really has become my fav member of Judas Priest!
Ian confirms the band WILL be making another studio album as soon as they end the tour after a short break ....I guess Richie has already began sampling riffs recording ideas for the next album!

It really seems like Richie has reinvigorated the band entirely. They all seem to be having such an awesome time together, from all the pics and videos I have seen.
So at the festival Priest are playing 6:30-8pm. We're aiming to be at the stage 2 sets before them - the two bands playing before them are Godsmack then Exodus. Hopefully that gives us plenty of time during and especially between sets to worm our way to the front LOL!

Rob is sounding very supurb these days and the guys are just leveling everything out there.
Key an extra eye on Richie Becks.....this shows how much he means to the legacy of this band and how he has magically installed his membership so valid to this band. He is really now the strongest force inside the Priest camp and after seeing him live this blew me away man. Cant wait to hear your review of the show!

I think they genuinely like the kid. He seems to have made them younger just being around.
