    They're playing the Taste Of Minnesota (held 10 minutes from my house)tomorrow night, and Whitesnake is opening.

    Here's the best part - IT'S FREE! :tongue2:

    You BASTARD! I'm looking at my tickets right now for August and cursing your name that you get to see them sooner than me!

    Betcha thought I was mad because yours is free-that's just good luck. Good for you! Have a great time and post the setlist so I know what I'm in for.

    Painkiller is my all-time favorite Priest album. :knucks:

    I hope they do Touch Of Evil, too.

    I'll see what I can do about putting together a setlist for ya, Cosmic.

    Back with report

    That was one of the best concerts I've ever been to, it was great that it was outdoors. I would estimate that there was at least 40 thousand people out there. I was about 100-125 feet from the stage, almost dead center - just to the right of the sound booth, on the barricade of the "free zone". There were probably 2500-3000 seats directly in front of the stage, in the "vip section" that you had to pay to get into.

    Priest is far and away the tightest band I've ever had the pleasure of seeing. They DESTROYED Whitesnake, it wasn't even close.

    Whitesnake did have one moment, when they closed the show with "Still of the Night". That rocked hard, but was nothing compared to what followed.

    Priest started the show by playing British Steel in it's entirety (to celebrate it's 30th anniversary).

    Here's the setlist:

    01. Rapid Fire
    02. Metal Gods
    03. Breaking The Law
    04. Grinder
    05. United
    06. You Don't Have To Be Old To Be Wise
    07. Living After Midnight
    08. The Rage
    09. Steeler
    10. The Ripper
    11. Prophecy
    12. Rock Hard Ride Free
    13. Victim Of Change
    14. Freewheel Burning
    15. Diamonds And Rust
    16. You've Got Another Thing Comin'

    Nothing from my favorite album "Painkiller", but an EPIC show nonetheless! You guys will be blown away, no doubt in my mind. :hi5:

    That sounds great-thank you! Like you, I am a Painkiller fan, so I am a little disappointed that album is not represented, but that setlist looks fantastic.

    But man, if they can work in "A Touch of Evil", I will blow a load.

    I wish they would play a song or two off Painkiller as well...specifically Painkiller and Touch of Evil...and maybe Metal Messiah from Demolition. I don't care what anyone says, Demolition kicked ***!!!

    I'm more of a Jugulator fan, myself. That album is just brutal. The far better of the 2 albums with Ripper, IMO. But then again, all Priest is good Priest!

    I doubt they will play any material from those 2 albums with Rob back in the band, though-they have a huge catalog to pull from with Rob on vocals, so I doubt they dip into those albums. I'd love to see it, though-especially "Burn In Hell" or "Death Row".

    Again....why act too cool for the room?

    The thread is about Priest, why come in and add nothing to the discussion if you don't like them? :pity:

    I like Jugulator too. But, Demolition in my opinion was much more gelled in terms of Ripper gelling with the band. Jekyll and Hyde is an AMAZING song, Close to You is probably the saddest song I've ever heard in my life. Cyberface is a work of art.

    I saw Priest on the Jugulator tour. They were amazing...If you haven't heard it, pick up the album 'Live 98 Meltdown.' It was the exact same set list that I saw in concert.

    Here's the songs from that album:
    CD 1
    The Hellion
    Electric Eye
    Metal Gods
    Death Row
    Grinder
    Rapid Fire
    Blood Stained
    The Sentinel
    Touch Of Evil
    Burn In Hell
    The Ripper
    Bullet Train
    Beyond The Realms Of Death
    Death Row

    CD 2
    Metal Meltdown
    Night Crawler
    Abductors
    Victim Of Changes
    Diamonds & Rust
    Breaking The Law
    The Green Manalishi
    Painkiller
    You've Got Another Thing Coming
    Hell Bent For Leather
    Living After Midnight

    What I don't understand is why nothing from Painkiller, and Angel of Retribution is on that (current tour) set list.

    But, thank God nothing from Nostradamus is on the list. That album blows. First time I've said that about a Priest album.

    "Prophecy" is from Nostradamus. Probably the best song on both albums.
