This show will be lucky to get 4k. Check tickets on ticketmaster.

Hey Got Blaze how was the show? I seen them quite a few times and never was disappointed

I couldn't make the show last night since I had a deposition this morning and spent yesterday afternoon prepping. Best friend and his wife went and reported the following post-concert summary ..... Corrosion of Conformity and Pepper never disappoint , only wish they would have played more than 6 songs.
setlist.
King of the Rotten
Diablo Blvd.
Vote With a Bullet
Wiseblood
Albatross
Clean My Wounds

Alice Cooper and his band were very tight and put on a killer show. Sounded just like listening to one of his albums - very clean and great theatrical performance - typical AC. Lots of old material brought out of the closet that hadn't been played in years / decades.

setlist:
Hello, Hooray (Judy Collins cover)
Who Do You Think We Are (First time since 2004)
Spark in the Dark (First time since 1990)
No More Mr. Nice Guy
House of Fire
I'm Eighteen
Muscle of Love
Feed My Frankenstein
Clones (We're All) (First time since 2011)
Caught in a Dream (First time since 2015)
Hey Stoopid
Dangerous Tonight (Live Premiere)
Poison
Guitar Solo (Nita Strauss)
Brutal Planet
Ballad of Dwight Fry
Cold Ethyl
Only Women Bleed
Second Coming > Going Home (1st time “Second Coming” played since 1971 off AC's 3rd album: Love It To Death. Live premiere of “Going Home”. Partial, band vocals only)
School's Out

Rob Halford and Judas Priest are definitely older (mid 70's), a bit slower with their gait, but still sounded like early 1980's Priest. Halford's voice hasn't lost a tone, and he can still hit the highs that he's noted for. Concert featured a 1/2 dozen songs from Painkiller mixed in with the usual JP classics.

setlist:
All Guns Blazing
Hell Patrol
You've Got Another Thing Comin'
Freewheel Burning
Breaking the Law
A Touch of Evil
Night Crawler
Solar Angels
Gates of Hell
Between the Hammer and the Anvil
Giants in the Sky
Painkiller

Encore:
Hell Bent for Leather
Living After Midnight

Solid performances from all 3 bands. Alice Cooper stole the show with songs that no one in the audience expected him to play. And the final query: Attendance ?? The upper section was closed only leaving the floor and mid-level terrace for seating. Floor was sold out and packed. Mid-level was close to 90% full with a few empty seats. Based on the seating capacity, the MGCC allotted 6,400 seats to be sold. Butts in the seats were close to and just shy of 6,000 (91% full). Not bad for a Tuesday night show

I haven't seen AC but I seen Priest numerous times and wanted to see Alice Cooper. When they first announced the tour in Biloxi for a Tuesday night it was disappointing.

Good review. I am so mad this tour isn't coming to Dallas. They are hitting Austin & Houston & not Dallas. This never happens.

Halford is one of the few remaining that can still do this. The concert in Mexico City a few months ago was to an 18K Raucous crowd that sang every song. They can't get that in the States on their best showing.
