Rob: A disapointment after the show. Rob went straight to the bus and left without acknowledging anyone waiting to see him.

Scott was the standout to the faithful waiting for a glimpse, he came and went several times before and after the show taking a few minutes each time to hang out with his fans.

Here's the link to my Indy pics, some are quite blurry...it's hard to get the guys to stand still long enough on stage to get the good pics!

From what I've read and seen on YouTube, he seems different this tour - more the old Rob that we love so much. We will see for ourselves in 12 days, right? CAN"T WAIT!! You might want to bring both hot weather and cool weather clothes with you. The saying in Michigan goes, "If you don't like the weather, wait a minute because it will change!" Right now it's mid-70's and windy. Could be 90 by the time the show hits, who knows? We can discuss things over lunch/dinner... we will be driving in from seeing them in Cleveland the night before. And don't forget the CD, I can't wait to hear it!! Keep having fun on vacation..... wish I was in Southern California!

It just seemed to me that he was going through the motions, as it were. That he would rather be doing something else..or maybe WITH someone else?
He has his own material...a Record company...various other interests. Perhaps he has reached the point where Priest (for him) has run its course? I am not sure and I do NOT want this to turn into some kind of silly rumor mill. It is merely an observation. I hope I am WAAAAAAY off on this! I love the Priest and Rob. I really do. Its just that, during the last few shows I have seen, he did not seem the same. |

Yes, Rob was hand slapping and shaking hands with the front row in Indy...as I mentioned, he was singing TO the audience this time, not just going through the songs. I liked the addition of animated lasers to the show. The stage set itself was simple, but packed alot of punch!
It was cool that there was no opening act...just the mighty Priest doing what they do best: Heavy Metal!

I know that Rob LOVES his fans and keeps everything they give him. Maybe he had something he had to do and couldn't talk after the show? He is probably one of the busiest guys in the business. I'm not making excuses, just my opinion.

Of course, he may have just not been feeling well in Indy but I truly have noticed a "distance' in his eyes and demeanor the last couple times I have seen a show. Most recently, I noticed it in Vegas but no one seemed to agree with me. I acknowledge that I could very well be wrong on this but he sure seems to be disinterested..or at least not as enthsiastic as he was in years gone by. Just my humble opinion.

When I met Rob a few years back after the Angel of Retribution tour he was extremely friendly, posing for pics and chatting about a book he was reading on seldom used words in the English language. This was a very small group waiting in Champaign/Urbana IL after the show(2005), vs a fairly large group waiting after the June 29 2009 show. Maybe he didn't want to be mauled by a throng of over-enthusiastic fans?
On stage, he seemed more animated than the past few tours, previously spending most of the show hunched over in one spot or moving around slowly(probably due to the weight of the costume?) but this past week he was full of energy and singing to the audience, not just singing the songs.

The show in St. Charles was my first Judas Priest concert and I gotta say it was pretty awesome. I had no idea this was the second date on the tour, no wonder I couldn't find a setlist. Rob's voice sounded great. I think Glenn was having some technical difficulties on the intro to The Rage which made me sad, but everything else went off perfect. The crowd really lit up after they played The Ripper, what a great song to break away from British Steel. Hoperfully they'll actually come back to St. Louis again next time around.

Saw the (St. Louis) St. Charles, MO show last night after driving in from Kansas City. WOW! Whitesnake was good, but Coverdale's vocals are strained and his range is capoot! Nothing like when I saw him in 1984 ad 1986. Enjoyed several of the Slide It In tracks, but TOOOO much pop crap from there...
Judas Priest DID NOT dissapoint! After seeing them 6-8 since 1984, I would have to say that this was by far one of the most energetic and lively shows I've ever seen them play. Seeing British Steel in it's entirety was absoltely amazing. LOVED seeing Victim of Changes again, Rock Hard/Ride Free was great. Wish they would have played Touch of Evil or some other 70's goods, but the band was truly amazing! Wish I could afford to go out and see them at Red Rocks. That will be THE show of the year!
Go see the Mighty Priest! After 32 years I still LOVE this band!!!! |
