ps. Center Grand River across from campus by Flat, black and circular / Peanut Barrel was a store that was probably already gone by the time you arrived. Called "The Man Alive." Anyway, State Discount was on the corner right next to it and all the army / navy and a haircutting place (Public Hair...heh) a travel agency (remember the clock on the outside wall?) and MY store were above it 503 1/2. It was a futon store called...well....the Futon Store! I ran it for five years paying my way through college. Any of this ring a bell?
BTW. I was in EL last year on a road trip and we bartered our way down to the Landshark to just have a bowl. Can you believe that not one person knew what one was?!? They dredged up an old dishwasher or something who made us a shot of something close but no gummie sharks or anything!!
Boy, it sucks to get old. We still had a few each. Edited at: Thursday, December 24, 2009 8:31:43 PM

OK, I just checked and Priest played the Lansing Civic Center NOT Spartan Stadium! Lots of misinformation out there.... but still, they played in LANSING? But just about every tour they hit Wings Stadium - they must have loved that place!

So you were at just about every Priest show that I went to! That is just amazing. What a small world. That Palace show just blew my freakin' mind! Wasn't Scott's drum solo killer? I've never been that impressed with a drum solo - he just kept beating the crap out of that kit! Even though the Palace was only about half full, we were LOUD!

Hey Guido! Priest played MI 3 times on the Painkiller tour: Dec 5,1990 at the Palace, Jan. 17, 1991 at Wings Stadium, and August 3, 1991 at Pine Knob (back when it was still called THE KNOB!). The only show I saw on that tour was the Palace show. We were in college and barely scraped the cash together for that show, not to mention it was during finals too. But WHAT A SHOW!!! Yup, the All Guns Blazing DVD is from the Palace show 12/5/90 and it has lines running through it. But it is great to have a video of the show you were actually at especially since we were in the nosebleed seats. By the way, as I mentioned to you, you can totally tell that there was tension between them during the show. Watch it and you'll notice that every time Rob walks toward Glenn they immediately both go in opposite directions. Rob only interacts with KK once and never goes over to Ian at all. I remember leaving that show thinking something was wrong. But did they put on a show, holy crap!! I think the August 1991 date was the tour with Alice Cooper. Megadeath opened for us at the Palace in 1990. So NO, you have not lost it at all, FAR from it! (Quoting Message by guidogodoy from Wednesday, December 23, 2009 9:21:32 PM)

Riddle me this, though. Am I completely confused or did Priest do two consecutive years of tours in Michigan. I could have sworn that this was the second. Played with Megadeth (I also have that bootleg). While the VHS and DVD have different years on them, it is the same show. 1990 Palace. I could SWEAR that they opened this one with Hell bent but closed with Hell bent on the other tour.

It was THE BEST drum solo I have ever seen - usually I get bored during them I admit, but Scott's was incredible. And Rob's voice..... OMG..... dead on every single note on every single song. His voice just pierced right through me. We have the bootleg to that show and even though the video quality isn't very good, you can still hear how incredible Rob's vocals were.

JD, thanks for respecting my opinion (a rarity on message boards). I honestly do not know why I prefer one to the other, certain aspects strike me differently at different times. To me, it felt like Priest were trying to play to the masses with both Turbo (glam-ish) and Ram It Down (faster music). I think all of the older metal guys were in the same situation of trying to figure where they fit in with the 80's metal scene, just look at how high Ozzy's hair was teased on the Ultimate Sin record and tour. I think they tried some new things and some worked, some did not. I still love the Turbo Lover Hi Octane mix, but I also like a lot of dance music from the 80's (go figure).

I respect you opinion,but it baffles me that someone could enjoy the Turbo album more so than the Ram It Down album.The title track alone "Ram It Down" is better than any track off Turbo.So is the "Heavy Metal" track,and also for a commercial friendly song..."Come And Get It" is better than any track off of Turbo as well as Hard As Iron and Blood Red Skies. But to each his own.
Ram It Down while being not one of Priest's better albums is light years better quality than Turbo.

I actually like Turbo because there are some catchy songs on there. Of course I do have a problem with grown men singning about not needing Parental Guidance. I can see where it is considered a bit of a sell-out album because of the sound and the look the band went for at the time. IMO it is a lot better than the Ram It Down album (save Blood Red Skies).

I have to say they were at the top of their game then. I am really hoping for a return to something like that.

lol! Yeah I know it hellrider,but what have they done recently? Is it the Winter Songs album you are talking about? I hear what you are saying.I was in a shit mood they other day and got sick of seeing all these christmas metal songs by various artists...my brain needs "metal" and I think it is starving for it,it has to come from the masters,I can deal with it when they retire but for them to be still very active and not cranked out an entire albums worth of classic material in 5 years is getting impatient for myself. I kills me knowing that they can put out an album of excellence "if they wanted to"....
Hopfully they will get the same cravings for oldschool stripped down classic british metal,if they don't...we are fucked. And if they salvage any of those extra tracks from Nostradamus and slap them on the next studio album...we are double fucked hellrider!!! Arrrgh this band is killing me! LOL! Why do I like this band??? lofl hellrider!!!!

Well,with an album title such as "Defenders Of The Faith"(1984) meaning "defending the heavy metal faith" going on and on about how much the faith of heavy metal means to them ect...during the Defenders Of The Faith tour,and then do a compleate 180 turn and head in the opposite direction going against everything they said and create the Turbo album? It didn't make sense to me back in 1986 when they did it,and it doesn't make sense to me know albmost 25 years later. I read an article in 88' where Rob said "If we would of done anything of less quality on the turbo album I think it would of been a let down for myself and the fans".
He said something like that in the article I read back then,but I think what he was really saying is that after he looked at the album probly a year after its release,he realized they went too far in the other direction of heavy metal,and maybe he was saying it really was a let down,something they got caught up in at the moment back in 1986 where everything that looked like Poison and Motley Crue was selling huge amounts of albums which equals $cash in thy pocket.So I think that they really only did Turbo to get money,not for the "true Judas Priest" fans.They sold out BIG TIME and everybody knows it,the material shows.
Yes there are tons of fans who love Turbo and may think its one of Priest's best records,its up to the beholder to decide,everybody has an opinion.But the over-all majority of Priest fans 90% of them do not care for the Turbo album. I don't think that they "sold out" with Nostradamus though,I really think it was indeed targeted towards the true Judas Priest fanbase but just as something new and different to try out,but again in the same results I think it backfired at them for trying,however the material on Nostradamus is FAR better quality than that of the Turbo album.
I have very little "faith" in this band for hoping that they crank out a heavy metal album but its because of "experiments' they did with albums like Turbo,Demolition and Nostradamus....I wish there were 3 bold faced crushing heavy metal albums in the place of those 3 experimental albums,it would of made Judas Priest's discography look much better,but the band is content on trying new things regardless of what the majority of its true fanbase says.

Hmmmm, I graduated in '88 so you were at MSU for a little while when I was there too? So I guess I've been following YOU around! Can't believe we never ran into each other before this. Damn, we could have had a whole lotta fun! I could have used someone to keep up with me drinking those shark bowls 
As I was looking up tour dates, I saw that Priest played Spartan Stadium in '83?? REALLY? If only I was 5 years older!! Can you imagine running into them on campus or at one of the bars after the show??
