Halford, Children of Bodom/Osaka, Japan 2003

From the 2003 Japan tour, the live performance at Osaka Koseinenkin Hall on February 14th was recorded in a high quality audience recording for 108 minutes. This was Halford’s second visit to Japan, and he started off with a blast with “Painkiller”, something that the original Judas had never done before, and the part where he continued with “Jawbreaker” without any pause was enough to give me goosebumps. In addition, Children of Bodom, who were the opening act on the day, were also recorded for 55 minutes from a good audience master, and this year was the first time they took the number one spot on their home charts and their first US tour, so this is also a must-listen memorial item as they were on the rise.
