Judas Ptiest at the Tacoma Dome last night was fucking UNREAL! They sounded excellent and as usual the youtube videos does no justice to Halford's vocals. Yes there are nights he is off a little but at age 63 who cares?
Last night he was fucking ON! His screams are loud and now at age 63 they are "Raw" but still clear and on key...no they are not as "sharp piercing" as the 80's but that doesnt mean they are not piercing in general...oh no....they are quite piercing actually and again,at age 63 he has a different style of screams and thet were awsome.
People who are wanting vocals clear as the 70's are the same people who consistantly complain at resturants,neighbor's trees hanging over thier fence and a long list of other nit picky demands.
Richie Faulkner was so inspirational as we have seen...pounding his chest,head banging with the front row and his signature solos were a highlight of the night...Glenn was so "cool" as he always is.....his solos were bad fuckin ass,Ian and Scott as well were having a blast.
Richie is the heart of the band now showing now like before that he is a TRUE member if Judas Priest...his solos are so different from K.K.'s as should be but its just such a natural fit...it seems like he has been in the band since the 80's and is the driving force behind Judas Priest now.
Just an amazing display of classic heavy metal from living legends. The band accrding to an article on blabbermouth,will be going into the studio (2016) to record another album and another tour!
