Judas Priest/Okayama,Japan 2018

A complete 102-minute high-quality digital audience recording of the third performance from the long-awaited Japan tour of “FIREPOWER 2018”, held on November 25th at Okayama Civic Hall. Perhaps due to the recent lack of venues in Japan, there were many concerts held in unusual locations, but fans from the Chugoku and Shikoku areas flocked here to Okayama. This title, which clearly shows the three-dimensional effect of the sound and records the audience’s enthusiasm with an exquisite balance, has a sound quality that makes you think it is a mixed official bootleg. As with Gifu and Osaka, songs such as “Saints In Hell,” “Tyrant,” and “Delivering The Goods,” which have been a hot topic on previous tours in various countries, were removed from the set. It’s been 34 years since Rob has sung “Desert Plains” and “Night Comes Down” in Japan since 1984, and it’s been 1979 since Rob has sung “Running Wild”. And of course, the solemn intro “Firepower” from “FIREPOWER” is the opening, of course “No Surrender” dedicated to Glenn, and the dramatic “Rising From Ruins” which leads to the overture “Guardians”, this is Judas. , the part where you jump straight into “Freewheel Burning” gives you goosebumps. And anyway, Rob is in great condition, his vocals are reminiscent of the golden era, and the band’s performance is a limited commemorative item to commemorate his visit to Japan. Disc 1 : 1.
