Everyone please write your reviews on the show tonight.


My Son & I were present. It was an opportunity for me to share some legendary Heavy Metal with him and the show did not dis-appoint. I am typically hesitant to see a band in thier waning years but, these guy were still tight, loud and put on a hell of a show. I just went back and looked to confirm the lineup from last night. Holford is a rock & roll GOD!! His stage presence is commanding and at 71 his vocal range and lung capacity is intact. Long time Drummer and Bass players still there but, the Guitar duo of Downing and Titpton was missing. I have to admit, the two replacement guitarists did not miss a lick. Both have been band members since 2011 and it showed. I was blown away by Lead Guitarist, Richie Faulkner. The Flying Vee was SCREAMING all night. Loud AF, ears still ringing this morning and it the head banging old stoners were out in force. Great show, glad we went and my 30 year old Son was amazed.

His wardrobe of leather jackets was damn impressive. What a collection. He rode a Harley onto the stage for the encore wearing a custom biker jacket that had more patches on it that I have ever seen.

Screenshot is from this morning. The average and peak levels were from last night. We were fourth row directly behind the soundboard at the back of the arena. This old man brings earplugs to concerts these days.

Richie is indeed great. He has been with Priest since 2011. The other guitarist is Andy Sneap. He started touring with Priest in 2018 after the release of Firepower, which he co-produced. Earlier this year it was announced he would stop touring to focus on production of the next JP record but that was later retracted.

Honestly sort of lame.........maybe age played a factor in it but I'm 56 and rocked my arse off complete with banging my (bald) head! Drank a bunch of beer even if they were $10.50 a pop! And I bought a t shirt that was $45. Missing the days of an $8 concert and $5 jersey! Damn good show and I was amazed at how well that dude can STILL sing! Rode his Harley out on the (I think it was) 2nd to last song. When I saw them in the 80s he rode out on first song.
