JUDAS PRIEST and
WHITESNAKE kicked off their joint summer tour last night (Wednesday, July 1) at The Family Arena in St Charles, Missouri.
A
BLABBERMOUTH.NET visitor who goes by the name "
KISSOFF 2004" has submitted the following report:
"The Metal Gods are just that. A fact that was reinforced in spades last night. Huge response from the crowd.
"The
'British Steel' songs were tight and sounded perfect. [
Rob]
Halford [vocals] was in amazing form all night, hitting the expected high notes in
'Victim of Changes' and
'The Ripper', and stalking the stage throughout the show.
"As much as I loved last year's set and performance, I think last night's show was better.
'Steeler', in particular, was just a beast live, and my personal highlight. Lasers, smoke, and a loud, clear mix added to the spectacle. Do not miss this show!
"
WHITESNAKE were warmly received, although
'Is This Love' was met with indifference from the crowd who were clearly there to see
PRIEST.
'Slow an' Easy' and
'Still of the Night' had the biggest reception. I could have done without the (what seemed like) 10-minute guitar duel and the drum solo. Still, for fans of the band, they delivered what you would expect from the veteran act."
