Judas Priest/CA,USA 2018

Our steel gods have announced a joint tour with DEEP PURPLE, and are rumored to be coming to Japan in the fall. A masterpiece video that allows you to witness their latest “FIREPOWER WORLD TOUR 2018” has been decided to be released. This work includes the “April 22, 2018 Los Angeles performance”. Dates are currently being added one after another to “FIREPOWER WORLD TOUR 2018”. First, let’s check the show’s position in the latest data. {“FIREPOWER” released on March 9th} ・March 13th – May 5th: North America #1 (31 performances) ←★Here★ ・June 5th – July 5th: Europe #1 (17 performances) ・July 19th – August 10th: Europe #2 (11 performances) ・August 21st – September 30th: North America #2 (25 performances) This is the tour outline that has been announced so far. The double headliner tour with DEEP PURPLE is the newly added “North America #2”. It is said that the Japan performance will be around October-November. And currently, the opening “North America #1” is still ongoing. The Los Angeles performance of this work is the 25th concert. Glenn Tipton also appeared in the encore at this show. This is a piece that allows you to experience the entire show. The quality of this work is also excellent. It is an audience shot captured from the far seats in the center of the stage, and the angle is excellent. The stage is directly shot from the second floor stand seats, and the stability is outstanding and you can see every corner of the stage. Although it can be said that there is no obstruction because the smartphone in the front row is very occasionally reflected, it is just that it is not zero. It is a special seat shot where almost “only the stage is visible”. There is a distance only in the stand seats, but the bold zoom and image quality of the latest digital equipment do not make it feel that way. You can clearly see everything, including the gorgeous giant screen image, Rob Halford’s brave figure, and Andy Sneap, who is of interest. The show depicted with that quality is very youthful and cool! After the reunion, Rob’s performance has been a big factor, but this time it’s amazing. It’s too amazing. Even though he’s 66 years old, he can hit the high notes beautifully and with a long and long voice. Of course, you can feel his age in his appearance and actions, but his singing voice is clearly getting younger every year. His voice is overwhelmingly stronger than it was in 2009 when K.K. Downing was still there…or rather, he shows off such a powerful throat that it’s almost unfair to say that it’s “powerful”. The debut of “Saints In Hell” is also a hot topic on this tour, and he sings those high notes in succession beautifully…it’s overwhelming. What further enhances this youthfulness is the really young new twin. Richie Faulkner is 38 years old, and Andy Sneap, who joined in place of Glenn, is 48 years old. Both of them are from the generation that grew up in JUDAS PRIEST and are still in their prime. Perhaps because of this, the tempo, which had been dropping in recent years, was almost the same as the original, and a lively and metallic show unfolded for the first time in a while. The explosive power of “Freewheel Burning”! The first live album “UNCASVILLE 2018 (Shades 898)” was also very well received in our store, but this super famous song was included in the set after that. It’s the first time since LOUDPARK 09, which was K.K.’s last show. That high-note speed and sharp twin… How wonderful! The rejuvenated Rob and the junior front line remind me of HALFORD, but this is the original, not a different band. The twin’s determination to stay faithful to the original phrases is what makes them similar to HALFORD, but they are not the same. And the biggest highlight is of course the encore. Glen appears and performs three songs together: “Metal Gods,” “Breaking the Law,” and “Living After Midnight.” Although Glenn gave up full participation in the tour due to Parkinson’s disease, he participated in the encore on days when he was in good condition, and has appeared in three consecutive performances from March 20th to 23rd and seven consecutive performances from April 15th to 26th. We enjoyed their collaboration on the live album “UNCASVILLE 2018”, but this scene can only be experienced on video. Glenn also takes a solo in “Metal Gods” and “Living After Midnight”, and he captivates us with his metal spirit that he has not lost even in the face of his illness. We are looking forward to the announcement of the Steel God’s visit to Japan. This is a masterpiece video that allows you to experience the latest live performance 100% live as soon as possible. This is a great album for those who can’t wait to visit again and those who want to see Glenn in good health with their own eyes. Live at Microsoft Theater, Los Angeles, CA. USA 22nd April 2018 1.
