Yes, JP are professionals and they always put out 100% so I'm sure that they will play just as energetic to 5,000 as they would to 16,000 people. I also can not believe the popularity of these crap musicians proliferating the music scene. It's all due to corporate pushes which determine which music gets the advertisement and play. There are some bands that draw big crowds with zero radio and corporate selling (Phish comes immediately to mind) but they are few and far between. JP are the metal godfathers and a return to their roots will help sales (no more Nostradamus, Turbo or RID nonsense), look at AC/DC selling out huge arenas. JP was more popular then AC/DC but Turbo, RID and Rob leaving and I believ Nostradamus killed JP's momentum. Edited at: Friday, July 24, 2009 7:18:32 PM

Yes, the place may not have been packed but it was one of the best,........NO, the best Priest show I have seen my entire life! And BTW you better send me that B.Market of the Nashville gig! Since I was there afterall! And where is the copy of the pick that bounced off of me into your greedy hands! HA!!! You know I'm kidding. I'm over it now. Well, on my way to being over it! HA!!

When the lights went on the crowd, you could easily see all the empty seats but that didn't stop the Mighty Priest from putting their all into the set.
That is what I call true professionalism. |

HA! I agree Freeze, a lot of people, especially the youth of today, wouldn't know good music if it bit them on the bum. Hell, even my MUM, who is 50 next year, seems to think Lady GaGa is fantastic - when she came and stayed with me for a couple of days we drove around in her car, Lady GaGa playing the WHOLE TIME! OMG what crapulence that is, it's absolute rubbish!

They are great at what they do and will always have a following but, as I have often mentioned, the public by and large are idiots. They would not know good, quality music if it were shoved up their...... well, you get the idea. Thus the proliferation of the Britney Spears and Lady Gagas of the world. |

| I'VE SEEN PRIEST 65-70 TIMES AND THEY NEVER EVER PUT ON ANYTHING LESS THAN A SPECTACULAR SHOW. I SAW HALFORD (FIGHT) AT A SMALL CLUB IN BROOKLYN NEW YORK AND AT B.B. KINGS RESTURANT IN MANHATTAN, MAYBE 500 - 1000 PEOPLE AND IT WAS AWSOME. |

| Yeah, but what I love about Priest is that they give it their all regardless of the crowd size. I have seen them play for 20,000 people and for 2,500 people and the energy and passion were the same. The economy sucks and the curiosity of the reunion tour is behind them so it is tougher, but again they put on an awesome show in Cincy. |

| OneShot - Man how the times have changed, JP even with Whitesnake can't sellout a 5,000 seat venue! Man, I hope they draw more then that for their show at Merriweather Post because that place holds at least 16,000 people! I remember when JP was easily packing 20,000 seat arenas. |

| Hey DoggieDogma - I was at the Cincy show last night and would guess there was roughly 4,000 people there in a venue that holds 5,000. It was an amazing show. Whitesnake put on a good show and I actually didn't mind PopEvil, but I am always amazed by how Priest just takes it to a different level. They are so tight and Rob's voice was as good as I have heard it since they have been back together. Awesome show! |

So I'm going to assume that the attendance at the shows have been sparse, let me know if I'm wrong. |

I'm kind of disappointed that I didn't get to hear HELL PATROL live on this tour... Don't get me wrong, I love RHRF, but Hell Patrol is one of my favourite songs off of Painkiller (thanx. to one Scott Travis!)
I'll still say this, Priest absolutely electrified (July 3rd) the night when I saw them live! And fireworks after the show? Amazing. Can't wait to see 'em again! |
