I went to this gig and I arrived at the venue around 3 p.m. with the hopes of meeting some band members before the gig with no luck. During this time, a lady who had baked cookies for Priest tried to go back by the buses (the area was fenced off btw) but was unsuccessful and shared the cookies with myself and others who had been waiting. However after the gig, I was able to meet all the members of Priest except for Halford and they all signed my "Screaming For Vengeance" and "Painkiller" cd. They're very cool blokes! I wasn't able to meet anyone from Whitesnake.
Doors opened at 6:30, show at 7:30. I had nosebleed seats and the floor was covered with chairs. There was no moshpit. Both bands were great! Whitesnake played for an hour and Priest played for almost 2 hours.
During changeover, I ran into a guy who was willing to part with an unused ticket. He wanted face value ($67) but I offered him $20 and he accepted. So that got me 7th row center for Priest.
I took some pics of the gig but the Whitesnake pics aren't very good because I was too far from the stage at that point. The setlist for Priest, along with pics and a video clip from YouTube from the gig are posted below. The vid clip is not from me. This is their "British Steel" anniversary tour, so they played that album in full.

If you viewed my prior Dimmu post you may notice that the song is sung in Norwegian. For those of you who aren't familiar with this band, they're from Norway and their first two albums("For All Tid" and "Stormblåst")are sung in Norwegian. They started singing in English with the release of "Enthrone Darkness Triumphant". However, they have since re-recorded their first two albums in English. I like all of their albums through "Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia"(P.E.M. is marginal at best in my opinion)and I don't care for their albums which have proceeded "P.E.M." Here's a song in English for you.
I was really hoping that they would play near my town on their upcoming U.S. tour but it's not meant to be. I hope they will tour near my town in the future. Until then, their new dvd entitled "Lusitanian Metal" will have to do. It's a great dvd by the way!!! The trailer to follow.
