29 Years of British Steel: Judas Priest/Whitesnake/Pop Evil Concert Review

My cousin Zachary and I went to see Judas Priest and Whitesnake in Cincinnati, OH.

Pop Evil opened the show.

They were pretty good, but of course, we were there for Priest and Whitesnake.

Whitesnake were excellent.  First time either of us had seen them.

Singer David Coverdale has always been great.  This band is essentially his solo project because the lineup has fluctuated over the years.

His guitar duo of Doug Aldrich and Reb Beach were just incredible.

The whole band was great.

Not a long set, but lots of great songs.

A couple of new ones from their Good To Be Bad album, as well as a lot of songs from their self titled 1987 album, and other songs.

I’ve seen Whitesnake 3 other times, and no matter what, the band is always great.

Then the MIGHTY Judas Priest closed the show.

On this tour, they were celebrating 30 years of their 1980 album British Steel (technically 29 years old at this point) by playing the whole album in concert, plus some other songs too.

Singer Rob Halford is one of my heroes and favorite singers of all time.

Guitarists Glenn Tipton and K.K. Downing are the greatest guitar duo of all time, in my opinion.

Bassist Ian Hill has always been solid as a rock, as well as long time Drummer Scott Travis.

I love all of these guys.

Priest’s discography, as well as Whitesnake’s, is something to behold.

Phenomenal.  Phenomenal.  Phenomenal.
