My first Judas Priest show was January 9, 1983.
I had FRONT ROW! Back in those days the shows were general admission. Judas Priest had been an important part of junior high and high school. No drugs for me-- I can remember every moment of the show. It was magnificent!

Well my first meet with JP was year ago in Prague...hell I was born in wrong era :P
I´m sooooooooooo happy that I see them because it´s EPITAPH TOUR and who knows what will be next.
But I´m gonna on the next gig today in Pardubice and next day in my country. So it doesn´t seems to be farewell tour :D. Hell yeah PRIEST IS BACK |

"Totally redesigned the stage set" = draping cloth over the speakers and adding plastic chains
Sorry had to say it.

| My first Judas Priest concert was in Florence (Italy) for Ram it Down Tour 1985. Incredible. I was in front of the stage after a long battle to reach it, but at last I won. I have also a souvenir. At the end of the concert I catched the plecturm of KK and now is framed in my garage. |

My first Judas Priest concert was 1981 at the Stanley Theatre in Pittsburgh, Pa..
Iron Maiden opened followed by Whitesnake. I hate them both now but they were
awesome back then. I couldn't believe how badass Priest was. British Steel turned
me on to them. This concert hooked me! |

| My 1st time seeing the Metal Gods was last August--I had tix for them back in 1983 but my mom had had a massive stroke that month & needed round the clock care--so I'm glad I didn't go in 1983 because my mom died around Christmas that year & I was glad I got to spend time with her--also cancelled Def Leppard tix that year too but my mom was so worth it |

I actually hope that Judas Priest will headline on one of the days at the MAGIC CIRCLE FESTIVAL 2009 this summer - that would be awesome.
And I know for sure that all MANOWAR fans also love Judas Priest!
We'll see...
