Well another thing is we all know that a Priest show is never long enough!!!!!!!!I hope one day they play an entire show with no openers and play a 3 hour set with an intermission.One can only dream

I agree.. I am happy they are coming to my home town.It is Judas Priest Eve here in St.Louis and I have 13th Row Center.I am getting fired up already, just glad I work 2 jobs but time is slowing and I feel like a rat in a cage.The release from  a live Priest show is what me body and soul is in dire need of.

[Sinner Rider] Tuesday, June 30, 2009 10:40:20 AM 
Well I will take what I can get! Whooo this friday July 3rd. However I thought they were going to play the older classics, like Hero Hero, rocka rolla, and sad wings stuff... I was really pumped for some of that!
[british.steel] Tuesday, June 30, 2009 10:16:12 AM 
i thought they would play Painkiller for sure!
[heath44] Tuesday, June 30, 2009 10:10:01 AM

[british.steel] Tuesday, June 30, 2009 10:06:44 AM

[dsfulker] Tuesday, June 30, 2009 10:02:26 AM 
LOL!

Of the two songs I was hoping they'd play (but figured they'd never do it), one was The Sentinel. The other was Out In The Cold.

With as much material as they had to choose from for this show, I was pretty happy with the end results. Although IF they'd added a few more songs, I'd have chosen something from that list (Sinner, Tyrant, etc.).
[british.steel] Tuesday, June 30, 2009 9:50:45 AM 
Prophecy is the "i am nostradamus" one, its different from the title track Nostradamus, Does anyone have the full setlist?
[Sinner Rider] Tuesday, June 30, 2009 9:39:28 AM 
Oh man.. No Sinner? Tyrant? Exciter? Genocide?....
[dsfulker] Tuesday, June 30, 2009 9:38:18 AM 
I thought Prophecy was the "I am Nostradamus" song, but I could be mistaken. Regardless, they played the "I am Nostradamus" one.

Sure that wasn't actually the song Nostradamus? I heard somewhere they actually played Nostradamus...I'll be pissed if it's Prophecy lol

Oh yeah - and they also played "Rock Hard, Ride Free" from Defenders. Can't believe I forgot that one, since it's one of my favorites.

Just got back tonight from the Indianapolis opening night for the North American tour and I have to say that Priest is very impressive in concert. This was my first Priest concert ever, so I guess they made an awesome first impression on me. I've been a long-time fan, so this was a real treat. Unfortunately, I've never had the British Steel CD (got most of the others), so there were a few songs I didn't know (that's going to be fixed real soon, tho). But I did enjoy their entire set.

I was a bit disappointed that not all the seats were sold - I sat in the back (best seats I could afford) and had a terrific view of the band (row MM - not too bad in a small venue) over the 4 rows of empty seats in front of me. I considered moving up several times, but decided that I'd rather have the good view than be smushed up against the rest of the crowd. Even though it wasn't jam-packed, the crowd was very loud and I think the band fed on that energy. They performed tunes from many of their albums. I can recall hearing Victim of Changes and The Ripper (Sad Wings), Diamonds and Rust (Rocka Rolla/Sin After Sin), lots of British Steel (maybe the whole album), You've Got Another Thing Comin' (Vengeance), Freewheel Burning (Defenders), and Prophecy (Nostradamus).

Loved the show - Rob was in rare form, getting the audience into the show in what I'd guess was typical fashion, doing his calls to the audience, then getting us to repeat them. Watching Glenn and KK trade off lead on various songs was just incredible, as I've always been in awe of their talents on the guitar. How they can get their fingers to move that fast on some of their faster songs (like Freewheel Burning) just amazes me. And Ian was so into the show - it was great to watch Rob and Ian perform together while Glenn and KK did their thing on center stage. And Scott was terrific on the drums, showing off his talents (and keeping in time, even when the audience began clapping far faster than the band).

Rob changed about 3-4 times during the show, going from his first leather outfit with vest, to another similar suit, then later to a full suit with helmet for the Nostradamus song (complete with staff), and finally to a biker suit when he rolled onto stage on the motorcycle.

Great show - highly recommended!
