This fall, I scratch an item off of my metal bucket list

This morning before work, I bought a ticket to see Judas Priest live in November. Can't wait!

I use to live in the Maritimes, witch Province are they coming to? Or are you going somewhere to see them. At any rate I wish I was there - enjoy my friend, I bet they put on a great show.

Nova Scotia. What province in the Maritimes did you live in and when?

New Brunswick Fredericton for my childhood and then Moncton for my junior high and high school years.
I moved to Maui Hawaii when I was 18, lived for a year there then came back to Fredericton for a few years then went across Canada a few times before finally settling out here in British Columbia. I have been here for 15 years or so now.
Are you in Nova Scotia?? Beautiful place.

Yes.

Going by your post, you've at least been there. What parts of Nova Scotia have you visited?

All along the 104 mostly in Antigonish and Truro. When I was younger I had gone to Halifax a few times.

I saw them once in 2010 for free when I got Nostradamus. Halford walked around like he could barely move (like my cat is these days) but after a few songs became more lively.

Halifax is where I'm seeing them.

The only provinces I have been in outside of Nova Scotia are Newfoundland (I was there once) and Ontario (I was there twice, and the first time was when I was three; I only vaguely remember being on the plane on the way up and nothing else at all from the first trip).

Awesome! When I saw them a few years ago when they were playing the British Steel album straight through I wasn't particularly blown away by the show, probably because Whitesnake was opening and I was much more interested in them. However, I saw them on the current tour in Chicago a couple months ago and it was amazing. They have a great setlist on this tour and sound amazing. Have a great time!

I've seen them 10x or more. Never disappointed. Saw 'em several times back in the 80's and they were awesome. Even when I saw them with Ripper I wasn't disappointed. He was great and the band was awesome.

I've seen them a couple of times and they are always great. Enjoy!

You know, Priest is one of the huge bands I've never had the privilege to see. I really should try to catch them.

I saw them last October and it was awesome! I can't wait to go again.

Did Halford get his hip or back surgery or whatever it was? He was limping around pretty badly the last few years from what I saw.

I saw Priest twice, once with Rob and once with Owens. Both were good, memorable shows. Although I seem to recall the band being a little lackluster during the Ripper years. Like they were just going through the motions. They sounded fine though.

He had back surgery about 2 years ago and is in much better shape on stage.

Good to know. At one point, wasn't he using a cane onstage? Maybe he needs to lose the 75 pound-studded duster and get back to a lightweight vest.
