An excellent package that documents the very first show of the Priests' Reunion Tour Summer 2004.  The recording has that DAT sound to it and our taper had excellent position to capture the most balanced sound possible in that situation. 

It seems that the mix had the guitars turned down because the recording is great, but the show has that "cleansed" feel to it.  Kind of a softer Judas Priest sound, which frankly is the only disappointing factor here.  Rob Halford is in great voice and the band is very enthusiastic.  The shows would obviously get better along the way.

You could not find a better version to have in your collection than this one.  The supreme foldout digipack case is absolutely beautiful, worthy of the stellar audience recording it houses.  Combine all of this with the random but rare bonus tracks...PLUS...the complete opening set from Annihilator in comparible sound...Priest collectors should definitely seek this out!
