JUDAS PRIEST: Mansfield Video Footage, Photos Available - July 8, 2009
Fan-filmed video footage of JUDAS PRIEST's July 7, 2009 concert at the Comcast Center in Mansfield, Massachusetts can be viewed below (courtesy of "HowellKenny" and "KJastremski").

Check out photos from EmpyreLounge.com.

JUDAS PRIEST kicked off its "British Steel" 30th-anniversary tour Monday night (June 29) at the Murat Theatre in Indianapolis, Indiana. Vocalist Rob Halford recently told Noisecreep, "It's like suddenly, thirty years have come upon us and we're about to celebrate. The album's technical anniversary is April of next year, but want to start the party early."

Halford added, "In today's economy, all artists have to think of something to do differently. We decided that this would be a great opportunity to do something that PRIEST has never done before, which is to play an album in its entirety. The band and the name 'JUDAS PRIEST' have both been around since 1969, so it is our fortieth anniversary, too. We seem to be in a constant celebration mode!"

Along with 1982's "Screaming for Vengeance" and 1990's "Painkiller", "British Steel" has long been considered one of metal's all-time classics. It was with this release that PRIEST truly broke through to the masses, with a pair of tracks that have become fixtures on rock radio — the enduring anthems "Breaking the Law" and "Living After Midnight". But like all classic albums, there is not a single weak track detected on "British Steel", as evidenced by such standouts as the perennial concert highlight, "Metal Gods", as well as "Rapid Fire", "Grinder", "United" and "The Rage", among others.

Produced by Tom Allom, "British Steel" was recorded at the Tittenhurst Park in England — which is a mansion owned at the time by former THE BEATLES member Ringo Starr, and previously owned by John Lennon and Yoko Ono. In 2001, the album was remastered and reissued with extra bonus tracks, and also was the subject of an in-depth study as part of the popular "Classic Albums" DVD series.

Was there in Mansfield, MA last night to witness the greatness that is the Priest. Fantastic show!!! The band kicked ass and playing the British Steel album in its entirety was a stroke of genius. Great to see this landmark metal album played live. If you can get tickets to this show, by all means, GO!!!! You won't regret it.

Who has noticed that Rob is sounding better than he has in years?
From what I can gather from these bootleg videos is that it is actually him & not effects (Anyone who even suggests there is a ghost track should go get a razor like the one on the cover & cut in an upward direction, not across their wrist!)!

So I guess all the haters can STFU!

Now with Rob getting himself together,
I'll keep my fingers crossed that if they decide to do another album in its entirety tour they pick "Unleashed in the East"!

I was at this show also. I thought Whitesnake was very good too!

Rob did sound good and looked like he was moving around more than the last tour i saw.

Yeah, Rob sounded very good Sunday night.

The only song I don't think they should play is Freewheel Burning. Rob just can't do it justice anymore. I would rather hear The Sentinel instead.

Damn it, you bastards! I'm jealous. Priest hasn't been to my area once since Rob's return. You would think they would, since it's Scott's home town. WTF?!

COMMENT | Saw them 7/8...

....at CMAC in upstate NY and they kicked some serious ass. Much, much better than I expected. They just tore through the British Steel album. The rest of the set great too, with Diamonds & Rust and Victim of Changes sounding especially good. Prophecy sounded a lot heavier than the album version.

Whitesnake was good too, 'til they killed their momentum with 2 guitar solos, a drum solo, and "Is the Love."

Go see this show if you can. The turn-out was not that great at this show, they deserve to play to a sold-out crowd

You said it. The Sentinal still makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up.
