I say, let WhereAmI and the rest have their say! Afterall, it feeds the attitude of the God himself to have these types of opinions displayed. I think he even writes about it in one of his songs - think it's in Silent Screams? Anyway, a hardy Thanks to all for feeding the Gods!!! LOL  |

The big difference between all of us and you is that we all go to work,take care of kids,go shopping,run aarons,go to friend's houses..
go to concerts,do yard work ect..and still post something every day...its called something YOU DON'T HAVE........are you ready Rob?

Hey Rob Ward.....if Rob Halford's waist bothers you "that much"...then maybe you ought to think about stop liking Judas Priest?
I don't know what else to tell you here. Thats like saying...."I saw Priest last night "BUT"......Ian Hill's hair line is receeding.....
.......and everybody is looking at each other going "....yyyyeahhh....sssoooooo is there a point to this? Not trying to rile you up
but thats just how it sounds. Nobody in here is denying that Rob has a spare tire around his waist...so do I.....(a small one but its still a spare tire"!!)LOL!!!

| After he came out on the bike he had a long jacket covered with silver studs. Durning the song he took the jacket off and tied it around his waist. He had a black tank top on underneath that was more like the top of a jump suit you would see a wrestler wear. I wasn't close to the stage but I was under the pavilion and the big screens were very visable. He looked fat too me, he looked like he had man boobs as his chest did not look firm at all. I weight 200lbs and I'm 5'11" and he has a much bigger gut then I do. His arms are also big, not muscle but fat big, no way he weighs 180, he hasn't seen 180 since Turbo. |

Oh, I agree, he has always leaned forward while singing, especially the long hight notes. But it was very obvious in Detroit that something happened during the show because one minute he was fine and then after he rolled out on the bike, he was really limping. I had snuck into the front row by then and I could see the pain in his face. He is such an amazing performer though and he NEVER allows anything to stop him. I don't think you would have even noticed it if you were even a few rows back. Just seemed like it was either his back or his right leg. I can't imagine doing what he does at all and then throw in the fact that it is 100+ degrees on that stage with all the leather on. I'd pass out, no doubt about it! You have to be in excellent shape to perform the way he does!

I completely agree there! 250??? I DON'T think so! Yes, he is packing a few pounds around the waist, but he is not that big. I'm wondering is he has back problems. In Cleveland he wasn't dancing around, but he seemed fine. In Detroit the next night, he was the same as Cleveland but then toward the end, he came out limping. A week later in Cincinnati after a day off, he was dancing around the stage like the Rob of old. Weight is NOT his problem. Wonder if when he got flipped off the bike in Toronto he hurt his back and it's been a problem ever since? Driving around on the tour bus can't help the situation either if it is his back.

I agree with you Jacklone. Rob might have a little bit of a belly but he's pretty rock solid other than that! Most men his age would KILL to be in his condition, better yet alot of men past 30 would kill to be in that shape!

I completely agree there! 250??? I DON'T think so! Yes, he is packing a few pounds around the waist, but he is not that big. I'm wondering is he has back problems. In Cleveland he wasn't dancing around, but he seemed fine. In Detroit the next night, he was the same as Cleveland but then toward the end, he came out limping. A week later in Cincinnati after a day off, he was dancing around the stage like the Rob of old. Weight is NOT his problem. Wonder if when he got flipped off the bike in Toronto he hurt his back and it's been a problem ever since? Driving around on the tour bus can't help the situation either if it is his back.

You can always search for online reviews of that show. Half the time there's a setlist in the review.

You mention the setlist was a little different but you would not give it out.
Why is you reason? It is the lst damn show of the tour!
Plus that is your opinion. If we do or don't want to know theset list we could choose NOT to read it.
Please since this is JP fan site, I'd say that you are the odd man out in thinking that we do not want to know the "different" set list.
99.8% of the people on this site want to know set lists.
So how was it differen then the prior shows? |

I was at the Merriweather show and it was totally awesome. The last time I saw Priest (AOR) the whole band kept leaving the stage but I do think Rob did it much more then he did before. He's certainly less active then he used to be. He also needs to join a gym as he's put on quite a bit of weight which is probably why he's not as active, he's got to be close to 250lbs + or -. Although his voice is in prime shape, I believe it would get much better if he lost weight. If I was his close personal friend, band mate, family member I'd be concern for him. At his age touring and playing in hot humid place like Merriweather he could suffer a heart attack. Anyone from Judas Priest management, band, family member or Rob himself reading this??
Their performance would be nothing short of spectacular for young guys let alone guys in their late 50's and early 60's. There were a couple of miss cues but I guess that's to be expected at every concert. I thought the beginning of Victim was played too slowly. I don't like their guitar tone anymore, they use them god awful effects processors and the punch of the guitars just isn't there. Had they had been playing through tube amps the guitars would have been more in your face the way I remember from them in the 80's.
I liked the set list as it was somewhat different then what was posted on here. For the record I'm against giving out the set list, it's like telling someone how a movie ends before you go to see it. The lights and lasers were great as well. I bought 2 T-Shirts, The Sad Wings shirt was my favorite but it didn't have the dates on the back so I bought one Sad Wings and one British Steel.
I also missed Popevil because my girlfriend had to work. But I guess that's no big deal as I never heard of them until they started touring with Priest.
Kix is always awesome to see. If you like the Stones only harder you'd love Kix. Steve Whiteman is a class "A" front man, his style has been stolen from the likes of Brett Michaels and other 80's hair band singers. He's always been an active front man, even at his age which I don't know what it is but he's probably in his 50's he's non stop. He engages the crowd and keeps everyone into the show. I've seen him several times with Kix and his side project "Funny Money" and he always has some little shtick that he's does throughout the show. I once saw him and he would tell little short stories and things that he did while he was wearing the paints he had on that night. He said things like he was wearing those paints when they filmed a video back in the 80's, or he had sex with two girls when he wore those paints. Just something he could come back to every once in a while. That's what someone was referring to earlier about him grabbing his crotch, it's just his thing he does for entertainment purposes. After the first or second song he pulled a banana out of his paints and made a joke about it, and then he went from there.
Overall a great show I'm glad I went. |

Yeh, to be in walking distance is a great thing. My friend and I got our rooms in Nashville as close as we could get. We walked less than a mile there. Always good not to involve a vehichel in the ingredients of an outstanding metal evening! LOL

I went to Nashville, which is a long haul, but only an hour or so shorter than traveling to the Post. Of course, where I live, travel will be involved if I plan on seeing any good shows! LOL Do you live in MD or VA? if you don't mind me asking?

| During Rapid Fire, Rob forgot about the break and kept singing which threw the band a little but you wouldn't have known it if you didn't know the song as the boys kept the beat and got back on track without any real problems. |

I wish I could have afforded to go to that show as well, but August is "back to school time" and last year going to Bristow put me in a bind for the back to school issue. Better I went earlier, but still I wish I could have gone to both!

Doggiedogma,
Too bad to hear that.
When you say the Rapid fire was off - what do you mean, please be more specific?

- The weather was bad as thunder storms were forecast; it did rain on and off and it was quite humid in the pavilion area. The Post holds about 17,000 and I would estimate the crowd to have been about 7-8,000; the pavilion was ¾ full and the lawn area about ¼ full. I know the weather had a negative influence on the attendance but the numbers were still strong.
- Popevil opened – I missed them
- Kix - opening again for JP as they did 30 years ago in Baltimore. The lead singer was very excited to be playing at Merriweather in front of a large and home crowd. The band drew a nice number of fans and they gave the band a good “pop”. The lead singer was very outgoing but a little juvenile; he repeatedly grabbed his crotch and made sexual remarks, which was a little weird coming from a guy who has to be pushing 60. I will give the guy credit for keeping in shape as he had zero body fat and looked like Iggy Pop. The band had some technical issues but it didn’t keep them rockin’ out. They played well and gave 100%, and the lead singer hasn’t lost any vocal range at all, has he even aged?
- JP – of course, the crowd was here to see JP and they let the boys know it as soon as they set foot on stage with loud cheers. Rob forgot the structure to the 1st song (Rapid Fire) and KK was looking around trying to get the band back in synch. Rob also appeared to be having some sort of problem as he had to leave the stage after every song. He would only re-appear when the lyrics started and after the song he would exit again. The band even took a short break right in the middle of their British Steel set; I wonder if Rob had some back problems which required rest or treatment throughout the show. Besides this, Rob sounded great and hit all the high notes with piercing clarity. KK took an ended solo during Victim of Changes and Glenn even teased the crowd during Victim as if he was going to do his solo. What can I say, the band was awesome, the crowd was wild and JP are the true masters! You can never go wrong seeing JP in concert!
Regarding the merch - shirt sales were strong, the most popular was the one with the British Steel logo on front w/ tour dates on back, all of the XXL and XL sizes were gone when I bought mine during Kix's set.
