Although Till and Body count had the best sets (IMHO) at Aftershock, this one was by far the most enjoyable. Judas Priest holds a special place for me, as British Steel was the first heavy metal album I bought in 1980- from the Columbia House record club. I remember putting it on for the first time. I’ve seen priest twice before- once in 1988 (thanks to Slayer for the passes to that one) and in 2018(?) on that Deep Purple co headline thing.
I saw some folks on the aftershock facebook group complaining about Rob’s vocals. He is a power vocalist who is 73 years old- he’s not gonna sound like he did on Unleashed in the East. If you take that mindset going in, you can enjoy the show.
What made it so great for me was the choice of setlist. It was the perfect “greatest hits” set, plus I finally got to see Rapid Fire- one of my all time favorite priest songs- performed live. In fact, we were supposed to cut out toward the end to get to the main stage for Iron Maiden, and I told my friend Matt that I was staying- it was too good.
