Love your review, Beckies! SO glad that you finally got to see Judas Priest live. Aren't they just incredible?
Sucks about not getting the drumstick, but at least you got a pick from Glenn!!! Would love to see pics of it. And the played Painkiller, too?!? Holy crap!!!
Well I'm back from my first Judas Priest concert and I have to say I am pretty bloody happy! We managed to get to the front on Glenns side - after Godsmack played we moved forward before Exodus came on (that was fucking insane, the mosh pit was pushing us all over but we stood strong haha).
A half hour after Exodus left the stage, War Pigs started playing. I knew what was coming and got very excited lol. Then, Battle Cry played as Judas Priest (bar Rob) entered the stage. They ripped in to Dragonaut and Rob came out and the crowd went wild - even more wild than when the song started a few seconds before haha. I sang to every song and I'm sure Glenn looked straight at me a few times. They played 1hr20min and it was worth every single minute. The setlist was excellent (will write it below) and included a song from most albums, including 3 off ROS. We were stunned to say the least when, as the final encore, they ripped in to Painkiller! Rob sounded AMAZING, seriously good and I'm not being biast at all, he killed Painkiller!
Highlights for me were Victim of Changes, Beyond the Realms of Death and Devils Child. But honestly, I loved the whole set. At the end, I got a guitar pick from Glenn! He actually hopped off the stage and handed them out, it was awesome. Scott tried to throw his drumstick to me - was looking straight at me, threw TO ME etc - but the tall fat dude next to me got his greasy mit in the way and snatched it out of the air. That was the only downer of it all.
Overall, Priest were incredible, every member was amazing and I am so so happy and thankful that I have finally gotten to see them live.
