Judas Priest - Epitaph Tour

Hey guys! I'm going to see Judas Priest on their farewell tour (Epitaph) on Tuesday. Has anyone seen them on this tour? How was the show? What songs did they play? Thanks.

I saw them headline the high voltage festival in the uk in the summer and that was part of the epitaph tour. They sounded fantastic and played a really great set of classics. Can't really say much more than that to be honest. I've seen them a few times and this was the strongest I've ever heard them.

Seen em here in Vegas and it was awesome! Great light show and the pyro is awesome!!

The set list here was:
Rapid Fire
Metal Gods
Heading Out to the Highway
Judas Rising
Starbreaker
Victim of Changes
Never Satisfied
Diamonds & Rust
Dawn Of Creation
Prophecy
Night Crawler
Turbo Lover
Beyond the Realms of Death
The Sentinel
Blood Red Skies
The Green Manalishi (With the Two Pronged Crown)
Breaking the Law
Painkiller

Saw them in Salt Lake City about a week ago and the setlist was the same.

Amazing show!

I'll be seeing this tour on the 27th.

I'll be seing this tour when they release it on DVD!

Rock On and enjoy the show!

Any news on the new album? Did they play any new material?

Great set list. Nice to see Never Satisfied in the list.

My brother and several of his friends are seeing JP at the Meadowlands Arena (aka the Izod Center) in New Jersey this Friday.

...while they're doing that, I'll be at my son's Cub Scout meeting.

Sigh. I must REALLY love my kid.

all of the recent clips i've seen of Priest live, Rob's voice sounds shot. i hope it's not always like that.

I saw them on the British Steel Anniversary Tour not that long ago and Rob was belting 'em out. Never thought he sounded as good as he did back when I saw them on tours in the 80's. I'm sure being on the road for months on end there are good days and bad days. That will reek havoc on your voice.

Meh. Story of my life.

...I saw J.P. 4 times back in the day, saw Rob w/Fight once, and once w/the Halford band too, so I'll live.

Whoa! I'm seeing them on Tuesday too! Looking forward to hearing "Starbreaker." I really like that song.

So after seeing them on Tuesday, I'm sad that this is their final world tour because they are still awesome. New guy Richie Faulkner is a beast on the guitar and Halford can still sing like no other. "Beyond the Realms of Death" was awesome as also the acoustic version of "Diamonds and Rust." All in all, great show and great set. Got some sweet pics too!

On a side not, Black Label was very good and the Thin Lizzy cover band wasn't bad either.

Last 'major' world tour. Doesn't mean they won't play select dates around Europe or US.

GREAT set list. Too bad they aren't coming to my area. Hopefully on a future "minor" tour they will...

Wish I could've gone to this, however I saw Priest twice recently, once in 04 and once in 08. They were flat out awesome each time, and had the original guitarists, so I'm satisfied.

If you can post those pics!

I would love to post the pics, but I'm not sure how to. I have looked in the FAQ's, but I don't really get it. Check out my blog for some pics. (I know cheap plug).
