Description
The front row shot of the “PAINKILLER” 35th anniversary tour has finally arrived! Experience the latest tour, which has attracted attention from all over the world, from a super special seat! This work was filmed at the “Ferrara performance on July 2, 2025.” This is a powerful audience shot. Speaking of “PAINKILLER,” it is a masterpiece that boasts exceptional popularity even in the history of JUDAS PRIEST, which is full of masterpieces. The world tour “SHIELD OF PAIN Tour” celebrating its 35th anniversary has attracted a lot of attention with its incredibly powerful set list. However, it has not been blessed with powerful images worthy of such a powerful show. The previous “INVINCIBLE SHIELD Tour” featured a series of superb full-length images, which caused a strong desire. However, those frustrating days are over. Finally, the long-awaited superb images have appeared! You can experience the 35th anniversary of “PAINKILLER” from the very best seats, the “front row.” 1 Before we get into the quality, let’s first look at the show’s position. This year, the “INVINCIBLE SHIELD Tour” and “SHIELD OF PAIN Tour” have been switching depending on the time of year, so let’s first take a look back at the outline of their current activities (using our video collection). 2024 “INVINCIBLE SHIELD Tour” March 11th – April 8th: Europe #1 (16 performances) ←* MILAN 2024 April 18th – May 22nd: North America #1 (21 performances) ←* DEFINITIVE NEWARK 2024 etc. June 5th – July 24th: Europe #2 (23 performances) ←* BARCELONA 2024 September 13th – October 26th: North America #2 (25 performances) ←* IRVING 2024 December 5th – 13th: Japan (6 performances) ←* EAST JAPAN 2024 etc. 2025 April 16th – May 7th: Latin America (9 performances) “SHIELD OF PAIN・SHIELD OF PAIN Tour” ・June 12th – July 25th: Europe #3 (22 performances) ←★Here★ ・September 16th – October 26th: North America #3 (24 performances)This is the 2024/2025 schedule that has been announced so far. The “SHIELD OF PAIN Tour” started last month, and this Ferrara performance was the 11th performance. It was also the halfway point of the ongoing “Europe #3”. This vacuum-packed film is a powerful shot of the front row! After all, no other songs are reflected in the field of view, and only security and the camera crew are in front. Although it is only on the left side (Richie Faulkner’s side), there is a slight distance between Ian Hill and Andy Sneap on the other side, but there is no obstruction from one end of the field of view to the other, so it is not a problem. It is not just close up, but it is a spectacular view where you can see what you want to see. And the camera work that makes the most of such a super-premium seat is not just a thing. In fact, it’s a simple technique of gently panning the camera left and right with minimal zoom, but it’s this technique (there’s no zoom function) that creates the ultra-realistic, naked-eye sensation. Of course, the impact would be diminished if the camera wasn’t zoomed in, but being on the front lines, there’s no need to worry about that. Rather, it gives you the full “front row” experience that would otherwise require a combination of luck and money. What’s more, the sound is also top-notch, making it irresistible. Advances in equipment and PA have made it common knowledge that “sound ripples around the front row,” but this film goes beyond that. The “Piazza Ariostea,” where the film took place, was formerly known as “Place Napoleon” (not the Louvre), an open, outdoor space. (Although it’s hard to tell from the screen, since the stage is so close,) the stage set up there lacks walls or a ceiling to reflect sound. This means the sound emitted by the PA is absorbed with zero reverberation. From the front row, you can enjoy the full 35th anniversary show of “PAINKILLER,” which has been the joy and envy of metalheads around the world. Here’s a summary of the super-powerful full set: Painkiller (7 songs), All Guns Blazing (★), Hell Patrol (★), A Touch of Evil (★), Night Crawler (★★), One Shot at Glory (★), Between the Hammer and the Anvil (★), Painkiller Others (10 songs), Invincible Shield: Gates of Hell (★), The Serpent and the King (★★), Giants in the Sky (★★), Classics: You’ve Got Another Thing Comin’, Freewheel Burning (★), Breaking the Law, Solar Angels (★★), Electric Eye, Hell Bent for Leather, Living After Midnight. *Note: Songs marked with “★” are not performed at last year’s Japan tour. The songs marked with a “★★” are the first to be included in the regular set since Andy Sneap joined the band. …And so it goes. While new material from INVINCIBLE SHIELD, like “The Serpent and the King” and “Giants in the Sky,” is also great, the highlights are undoubtedly the tracks from the renowned album PAINKILLER! Every song except “Leather Rebel” and “Metal Meltdown” is performed (even “Battle Hymn” plays before “One Shot at Glory”), a lavish performance that was unheard of even during the PAINKILLER Tour. The opening performance with an a cappella rendition of “All Guns Blazing” is also innovative. There are still no rumors of a Japanese performance, but this is the PAINKILLER 35th anniversary “SHIELD OF PAIN Tour.” This is an immersive masterpiece that lets you experience a super-powerful set that every metal fan wants to experience from the front row. Truly the best metal footage of 2025. A superb audience shot from the “July 2, 2025 Ferrara performance.” Shocking footage taken from the “front row” of the super special seats. With zero front-row seating, you can have the stage all to yourself, and the super thick, direct sound of an outdoor venue is also incredible. This is a miraculous piece that lets you fully experience the front row of the “PAINKILLER” 35th anniversary tour, which features a stellar lineup of classic songs.
