This double-live disc really shows why
Judas Priest made a big mistake in not taking
Rob Halford back. The album rocks out and captures the
Priest magic much better than his old band's live album. Perhaps the spirit of
JP lives on in this group more so than in the band being called "
Judas Priest." This CD set includes a lot of old
Priest gems (including "Stained Class" and "Tyrant"), quite a few tracks from the
Halford album, and three studio pieces. The studio cuts range from pretty standard hard rock/metal to a killer ballad. The live cuts, for the most part, are performed quite faithfully. When changes are made to the arrangements, they really are interesting and seem to be improvements. ~ Gary Hill
