Judas Priest KILLED IT ! Deep Purple was good , but JP
should of headlined. the Temperance Movement held their
own. All in all it was a great show !!
Matt from Leavenworth, Kansas
BLAZING ROCK
I thought both bands were great. They left it all on the stage. Deep
Purple's bass was a little too much in the mix and messed with the
vocal sound at first but that got fixed. Great selection of tunes from
bands who represent different eras, same spirit. Loud, bold, fiery.

JUDAS PRIEST/DEEP PURPLE TOYOTA AMPHITHEATER 9-30-18
I saw both bands in the late '80s and
JP again in '09.
Sunday night, for both bands being
up in years, they BOTH tore it up,
even better than their previous shows
that I saw.
Rock on!!!!

THE PRIEST RULES THE NIGHT!
Shoreline will never be the same. From the first downbeat to their last
note Judas Priest was amazing. Rob Halford was mind blowing. His
vocals spot on and powerful. The guitars were blazing and the rythm
section amazingly tight. Deep Purple was decent and the Vocalist was
nothing more than average. The Priest riled the night..

LOUD AND LOUDER--BUT DARNED ENJOYABLE!
If you're a Priest fan, you may think you knew what to expect on September 18: I
certainly thought I did. I'd never seen the Priest live before, but their Rising in the
East DVD from a decade or so left me expecting little from Rob Halford: in that
earlier concert video, he lurched about in an almost Ozzy-life fashion. Surprisingly--
and delightfully--that was not the case in KC on this tour! Halford is no Bruce
Dickinson, but he paced the stage nonstop, And Halford's voice, while not as strong
as when I saw him with his eponymous solo group in 2000, was still a mighty force.
It was also clear how Ritchie Faulkner has become a "fan favorite"--the guy
practically oozes Cool , and although I missed seeing Ken and Glenn, Ritchie and the
other guy didn't miss a note all night. And it was LOUD but was worth it, every
decibel. Purple, alas, fell short of expectations due to an awful sound mix, but they
seemed to be having a lot of fun, which was infectious. A great time, all in all!

I'll admit my ticket was to see Purple, I have little or no interest in Rob Halford and
Judas Priest. I've never seen so many studs in leather as I did that night, they were
almost a parody right out of Spinal Tap. Rob doesn't seem to have the pipe or the
presence any more, he spent much of the night peering at the teleprompter in front
of the stage trying to remember the words. The audio mix for their set was horrible
as well, from where I sat (eighth row, section 100) you could not hear one word
clearly.
The two guitarists were adequate, nothing special. The drummer tried to make it
entertaining. Since I don't know the band's history, I cant comment on them with any
reliability. However, I will say that the diehard Priest fans in the audience, and they
were plentiful, sang along with much of the show, and seemed to enjoy it. I just
found myself looking at my watch all show long
Purple however gave their usual show - enteraining, superb playing, and better
audio.
John R from Buffalo, New York
JUDAS PRIEST AND DEEP PURPLE
I don't recall Rob singing one chorus or anything lyrics that needed him to belt it out,
actualy he seemed to strain singing most of the lyrics, the band sounded decent. As for
Deep Purple, they sounded great even though Ian seemed to strain some also but he
left it all on the stage. His effort was fantastic, unlike Rob's.
Scotty Williams from Buffalo, New York
DEEP PURPLE JUDAS PRIEST
Rob Halford is getting too blind to read his teleprompter. Spent most of the show bent
over looking for it. Where's that other singer? Deep Purple, excellent.
Joe Fontana from Chicago, Illinois
DRIVE-BYS PERFORMANCES
Concerts today are all brief, rushed experiences. Bands play
approximately an hour. 10 to 12 songs. Judas Priest and Deep Purple
were no different. While the concert was very much worth the 'Face-
Value' price of admission, with each band appearing to enthusiastically
perform their sets, the whole thing felt and sounded rushed.
Whatever became of 2 hour plus shows with multiple encores, wherein
bands could perform almost their entire known catalog 'jamming' deep
into each song's personality.
The above seems to no longer exist, rather today everything is a rush to
get on and off the stage. Live music fans, supporting live music with their
time and money, deserve more than glimpsed Drive-Bys.
Stewart Atkin from Rochester, New York
DEEP PURPLE/ JUDAS PRIEST
Judas Priest are very good at what they do. Halford has constructed a band similar to Ozzy's over the years (IE, very competent hired guns). However, I don't like classic heavy metal so it's not my cup of tea. I was bored to tears after about 20 minutes. Deep Purple were much better. Paice and Glover still rock. For Ian Gillan to even be attempting to sing songs that require such high-pitched screams at his age is truly remarkable. Of course his voice couldn't match up to his his younger years, but I was highly impressed with how he could reach most of the heights, giving all their old songs his personal charisma. The long-winded organ solo performances I could do without. The first band, The Temperance Movement, were fantastic and full of energy. I'd LOVE to see them at a smaller venue. You should check out. Like a British "Black Crowes". Classy!!
Rich from Albany, New York
BANDS GOOD, CROWD OK
The band's rocked. Older but still iving it
their all, nice to see Ian and Rob and the
other long time players, glover, etc. The
crowd was a mix of newer meatheads, music
enthusiasts, and older metalheads who
unfortunately are a combination of the
diehard music fan and the metal kid that
never grew up, abnoxious, get a lifer..
