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

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! |
