Yeah, I do agree that their sound was poor. I do not know why. I guess that maybe their sound person is not very good? I mean, I do not know for sure but I assume that each act has their own sound engineers? Naturally, it would follow that the better acts would be able to afford better sound. So many people do not give proper credit to sound engineers. It is an art!! Not just anyone can sit in front of a soundboard and do it well!!! Same goes for mixing an album or even a song. That is why the big acts like Priest seek out the BIG name producers.!

What do you mean, "Whitesnake didn't show"..???!?!?!?!?!? Are you saying that the band just did NOT perform?? Did not show up?? What the hell happened?? If you paid for THREE bands and did not GET three, I should think a refund (or partial refund) would be in order??!!!!! How do you just NOT show up for work????

Hello Blah folk!
What an amazing monday! It was a public holiday today so we have had a rather vegetative weekend lol. Involving loads of sleep, lying in bed reading until wee hours of the morning and then not having to worry about getting up to get kids to school etc.. Every once in a while this is so needed!~
Tomorrow my car goes in for repairs finally! They eventually tracked down the spare part that needs replacing and are ready for me. I sense another fantastic week coming up ahead. I'm starting to believe more and more in the philosophy that life is truly what we make of it.
BEV!!! So good to see you back! how are you? I hope you are doing well you stop by so seldom that it's always great to see you here xxxx

Morning everyone! Another lovely day here.
It's so awesome to hear what a great time you and the young prince had Freeze! |

LOL! Like Guido just said.... Great to hear Freeze,that totally rocks man!! Yeah I think the younger kids just don't "expect" someone that is 61 years old(Glenn Tipton)
to come out on stage and kick your ass and totally BLOW AWAY all the bands the kids are currently listening too...I think that when they see and hear it live they feel the
power that is "Heavy Metal"...and just hearing it on CD is not enough,...they must witness it live and when they do they realize that it is "strong" and then they can see
why we have been raving about these guys(Judas Priest) our whole lives!!!! Thats totally priceless Freeze!!!

Will the lad actually turn away from Hollister shirts and "Pop" music?? I cannot say. I think there are far too many forces at work in a young person's life and since he is entering high school this year, it is likely he will try desperately to "fit in".. I do not know with certainty that Priest will be a part of that BUT I am encouraged. While we were at the show, he kept receiving texts and sending pics to his inquiring friends. I guess that Metal is not all THAT bad in the eyes of the young. With a little luck................. |

I have to admit, taking in more than one show on the current tour does have an advantage or two. I can see why the diehards among us go to several shows. There is a kind of strange sense of "knowing" when you have already seen the show before. I knew what to expect, what to look for and when to be sure the lad was really paying attention. The look on his face when I told him, "Here comes a great ROB HALFORD scream", was priceless!! HAAAAAAAAAAAA!! He was focused directly on Rob at the end of VoC and whatnot. GREAT time!!!!!! Pfff!
