| sounds a lot like the first, and last monsters of rock festival in calgary. Priest played, it was mostly a ozzfest lineup, with priest added. 90 min line to get in, missed the first band. bathrooms were ok just 20 min wait. Beer line over 2 hours. Burger 90 min, thankfully we went just before a thunderstorm, so were undercover for that. |

That friggin' GPS... 
You know what, though? I did a picture of that bridge shortly after you drove off, so your car MIGHT be in the shot. Should look closely.
Acolyte. Yup, that was the setlist. And yes, the VIP experience could've been better. More port-a-potties, to start. Took every fiber of my being not to squat and go while in line.

HRMG. Yes, no Love Bites... THAT bit. <==pun intended.
SPA Agree 100% VIP SUCKED THERE!!! WHAT THE HELL WAS SO VIP ABOUT IT?!? Shitty freakin' setup for that venue.

Delays when your exhausted. REALLY REALLY SUCK!
I know the feeling. Once lost the connecting flight home in NY after our flight out of Greece made us too late to catch it. Spent 8 hours in the airport all jet lagged trying to get a room assignment from Olympic. Finaly got a room at midnight and had to be up and ready for our next flight by 5 am. Sucked bad.
Good to see you finally made it.

But yes, as one who had joined the "posse" at the Louder than Life festival, I can also confirm that JP played a really great show (and that it was COLD AS FUCK!!! As a thin-skinned Californian, it was unbearable). I wished that it could go on, but alas, the festival staff was dead set on finishing the day on time. Kept many of us from getting the half-dozen or so guitar picks on the floor. Highlights for me this set (and first festival, I might add) include Halls of Valhalla (freakin' great!!!), Victim of Changes and Dragonaut. Heck, just Rob's singing and Richie's solo in YGATC were incredible displays of power and talent. Although I think the biggest and best part was getting to spend the weekend with some really great 'Priest fans and really aweome people. Best mini-vacation I had ever taken. Could never have asked for anything better (aside from a longer set from JP, though... and no more Korn...heh).
Here, a pic of the band in action. <---- Vail = dunce for forgetting her good camera at the hotel.

I'm finally awake and able to function. It was a great weekend and I really enjoyed meeting up with old friends and new and enjoying our time together. Loss of sleep and freezing my ass off were the negatives of the weekend.
The show was incredible but too short. Nothing Priest could do about that though aside from sending a hit squad to bump off Korn. That would have been a good idea. lol
Rob was in great form! He moved with an ease I had not seen in years and it was truly a blessing to see it. Glenn was fantastic, Scott was spot on, Ian was smiling and seemed at ease, and Ritchie was incredible too. I was shocked to hear Turbo Lover, but I found I didn't mind it. Valhalla was great! Rob nailed the part from low to high on that song! I'm not so good with breaking a set list down for individual reviews so I'll just say It was an awesome show and I just wish we could have heard them for another hour. I'm selfish that way.
This was the first Live and Loud Festival and it might be the last if the people who put this shit together didn't learn a thing or two. I have a list of compaints about the VIP experience there. I could care less that they hung chandaliers from the tent tops. What matters is this. Is there enough bathrooms to keep people from standing in line for far too long? NO. Is there enough casual seating in the eating areas? NO. Is the food advertised as Gormet good? NO I'd rather have state fair things on sticks. I know what to expect from that. Not a suprise gyro with egg. (yuck).

Agreed about Rob (the band was freakin' out of this world as always) and glad to hear you made it back safe and sound. Next? DETROIT!!!! 
Hope to hear from others in the group. 'Twas an honor as always to be with y'all !

He did not stand in front of the teleprompter, rather glanced at the words if he needed to and then looked up at the crowd to sing the words. I have always been impressed with Rob's humility and the fact that he is always a gentleman. He never puts others down in order to build himself up because he is strong and confident in himself and he lets his performance speak for itself. So for me this performance was a direct answer to both Paul Di'Anno and Bruce Dickinson's negative comments about him. All I have to say to Paul and Bruce is: JEALOUS MUCH??!!
It was a FANTASTIC weekend! We had an absolute BLAST! It was an honor to be a part of such a great group of people. We truly are a metal family here on the Board.
We made it home safely, stopping at a Waffle House for breakfast and Bilbo's in Portage for dinner. Damn I miss my Hobbit Stix and dill dip being so close in East Lansing!! Glad to see you made it home safe and sound!

I'd have to look at the setlist myself to be sure but I am tired.
To the 11 or so of us who made it there, I hope you all made it home safely! Whatta blast!!! Great show, all in all. Can't wait until Detroit to "hopefully" see the full NY set.

@Nupe, they have announced in Sweden i believe , finland i am sure will follow , if they are celebreting 30 years of DOTF then do it right , give us freewheel burning and the sentinel again, also it says "defenders of the faith" as a song , the last time i heard that was 1990 when it was the song that played when the lights came on , do they mean the "heavy duty" intro to DOTF?????

Maybe this setlist is their way of celebrating the 30th anniversary of DOTF... man, there's some great live songs there! Can't wait for when they confirm European dates (they've visited Finland on every major tour since 2005 so I don't see why they wouldn't come here again).

Hell Bent For Leather,Living After Midnight,Breakin The Law,Youve got another thing comin....
those 4 are the ones that I get tired of......every other popular Priest song I can handle....except Turbo Lover ha........anybody have a clue where I need to look to open my PMS?

guido I saw your request for them to play Dragonaut....hell yeah Im stoked too!
Fuckin Dragonaut man...no its not Priests best track(what is?) but damn it has one of the best "riffs" especially the riff played right when Rob kicks in...its fuckin head banging material man....
For the amount of "SHIT" I gave this band ....
(claiming Saxon the new Heavy Metal kings while Priest took a break and did Nostradamus)
......and every shit thing I said inbetween...
Redeemer Of Souls made me eat my words BIG TIME!! Shame on me and hail the almighty Judas Priest!!
