Glenn Tipton was the man ,kk is still the man .I grew up with this music 🎶

[@MetalTalk666]

This era of Priest will remain forever the DEFINITION of Metal.

[@LordGandor3]

Some Heads are Gonna Roll right here in the US. The US government has guillotines ready to go. Revelation 20:4 explains the guillotines. Also I have heard from many government/military sources that government scientists have used gene splicing tech to create Monsters, Dinosaurs & Martians. They can cross hybridize any species including humans with animals. SCORPIONS recently released a killer Shark song titled Unleash The Beast. I am positive they are going to unleash man made Megalodons. Thermocline my arse !!! The Creeper in Jeepers Creepers looks like the Hellion from Screaming for Vengeance but it's not from Mars it's a hybrid Monster created here on plan-ET Earth. Mars is the Roman pagan god of war !

[@andreasandreas2315]

This is exactly what I was thinking when I saw the date...unbelievable energy and painkiller was just released

[@epistte]

Rob looks positively evil this night. Its great to see KK, Glenn, and Ian at the top of their game. Scott's druimmi8ung made a huge difference in the band. I saw this tour of Priest at the top of a 5 band set in Cleveland with Alice Cooper, Motorhead, and Dangerous Toys.

[@thomashumphrey7395]

The best, true heavy metal band of all time. These guys are beasts.

[@valuedhumanoid6574]

Them and Iron Maiden are the two that I consider to be the Masters Of Metal, just behind the Godfathers Of Metal, Black Sabbath.

Why this show is not released on dvd is beyond me. This show is just incredible.

[@misanthrope8811]

All guns blazing solo is super insane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bad ass song!!!!!!!

[@chrisorrell3066]

I seen this tour with Alice cooper at the CNE grandstand in Toronto. Rob came out on that Harley and wiped out going through that tunnel, a bunch of the crew came out and helped him off the stage. They played hell bent without him. Then he came back out for the next song and sang the rest of the show. We found out later that he broke his nose. What a fn trooper. And the band to have the awareness to keep on playing. What pros.

[@jimboslice5647]

Was a metalhead in those days and will die a metalhead. Priest are the godfathers of Heavy Metal. 🤘

This is Priest at their VERY BEST. I'm so damned proud to have witnessed them at the top of their game and at the top of my youth. HAIL to this era and HAIL to the mighty Priest!

[@jprules2578]

I was at this show. Metal Church was pretty good. Dangerous Toys were a joke. Motorhead(1916 tour) was AWESOME. Alice was great like usual, and Priest opening like that was absolutely icing on the cake. Priest was the best band live band for over an entire decade from 1979++.

[@BeatniksVids]

Saw this tour in Dallas, Testament opened. Back stage met everyone but Rob, Scott was very humbled I asked for his autograph while everyone else was flocking around the other guys. Thanked him for bringing Priest back for me, never was a Holland fan.

[@Chainsaw_HM2]

Holland always felt like the anchor that held Priest back.

[@pieterbalk-ht7kq]

Most underaged young adults weren’t “Holland fan” either…..

[@pieterbalk-ht7kq]

Just in case you missed: In 2004, Holland was arrested and later found guilty by a jury at Northampton Crown Court of one count of attempted rape and five counts of indecent assault against a 17-year-old male with learning difficulties.

I've been listening to JUDAS PRIEST for 43 yrs. my friend Eddie Korecky turned me on to this album BRITISH STEEL, AND BEEN LISTENING TO pRIEST EVER SINCE, EVERY ALBUM HAS INFLUANCED ME TO PLKAY SOME IF NOT 20 SONGS OVER AND OVER AGIAN UNTIL I KNEW THE WORDS BUY HEART , THEY ARE THE GREATEST HEAVY METAL BAND EVER . THANK YOU JUDAS PRIEST FOR MAKING ALL THESE GREAT SONGS , LOVER YOU GUYS . LONG LIVE JUDAS PRIEST .........

[@vlassisnikas7634]

There are no words about this tour. I like the Judas Priest "Invincible Shield" album and the K.K.'s Priest "The Sinner Rides Again" too. But the truth is that Judas Priest need K.K. and vice versa. I hope there will be a reunion.

[@chriscurtis1578]

Great freaking show but I would have blistered that sound man! Tipton’s solos should have been ripping my ears off but most of them didn’t have that Judas Priest bite! Great playing just couldn’t hear all the notes and he was definitely pulling them off. Other than that I loved it. True Heavy Metal. No band does it better.

I seen this tour when it came to Oakland Bay area central California. I was far left looking strait down the length of the stage. Every now and the the singer would walk to my corner of the stage. There was a black felt room there with the door facing me guarded by a stage hand. Rob would walk over the roadie would hold open the felt door Rob would walk in do few lines of coke set out on the table wipe his nose then go back out to work.😅 He was pretty quick at doing it.

Men, I have many great memories, but it was just another shed. I saw them at the LA Sports Arena the year before this show and it was way better. I'll take a general admission floor with a raging pit over standing in front of a seat or trying to keep your balance on that steep hill. Irvine was great if you wanted to chill out, drink a few beers, and listen to music. Not the best place to see a metal band.
