I have missed 4 JP concert tours since 1982. That might seem like a lot or a little from your point of view. I consider each show to be a part of my life, and I wonder what I missed out on from those 4 shows that I didn't make it to. I have thoroughly enjoyed meeting each member of this fine band and will cherish the photos and autographs they did for me. It goes without saying that I will make every effort to see at least one (and hopefully more) show on their Epitaph tour.

Yes, Rob was hand slapping and shaking hands with the front row in Indy...as I mentioned, he was singing TO the audience this time, not just going through the songs. I liked the addition of animated lasers to the show. The stage set itself was simple, but packed alot of punch!
It was cool that there was no opening act...just the mighty Priest doing what they do best: Heavy Metal!

I have to agree with you about the distance thing, but not the reason for it. I have said it many times to people that I really MISS the happy Rob of old, where he smiled and joked with the audience. During the Painkiller tour, he seemed really pissed off.... I wasn't surprised when he left the band. Then when he came back, he seemed to have adopted this stage persona that I don't care for. I never had the feeling that he didn't care, I have the feeling that he was ACTING some sort of role. When we saw Priest in a small venue in Mount Pleasant, Michigan (September 2005), there were times where he completely dropped the act and was the Rob of old. I have to tell you, those moments were AWESOME! He shook hands with people in the audience (there were no barriers), someone came up on stage because you could just walk right up on to it, Rob turned around and smiled at the guy and shook his hand before he was taken back to his seat. He made jokes and smiled a lot. So I think it has all been an act on stage rather than disinterest.
I know that Rob LOVES his fans and keeps everything they give him. Maybe he had something he had to do and couldn't talk after the show? He is probably one of the busiest guys in the business. I'm not making excuses, just my opinion.

It is as though he is reaching that point where he has done as much as he feels he can with the Band and has interests or desires elsewhere.
Of course, he may have just not been feeling well in Indy but I truly have noticed a "distance' in his eyes and demeanor the last couple times I have seen a show. Most recently, I noticed it in Vegas but no one seemed to agree with me. I acknowledge that I could very well be wrong on this but he sure seems to be disinterested..or at least not as enthsiastic as he was in years gone by. Just my humble opinion.

Scott was the standout to the faithful waiting for a glimpse, he came and went several times before and after the show taking a few minutes each time to hang out with his fans.

Here's the link to my Indy pics, some are quite blurry...it's hard to get the guys to stand still long enough on stage to get the good pics!

When I met Rob a few years back after the Angel of Retribution tour he was extremely friendly, posing for pics and chatting about a book he was reading on seldom used words in the English language. This was a very small group waiting in Champaign/Urbana IL after the show(2005), vs a fairly large group waiting after the June 29 2009 show. Maybe he didn't want to be mauled by a throng of over-enthusiastic fans?
On stage, he seemed more animated than the past few tours, previously spending most of the show hunched over in one spot or moving around slowly(probably due to the weight of the costume?) but this past week he was full of energy and singing to the audience, not just singing the songs.

SFV? Good lord that was the first show I went to, but I couldn't actually go in because my Dad wouldn't let me go to a concert, so I rode my bike to the venue anyhoo (Salt Palace, SLC UT) and listened from the outside. Told Pops I was going to a movie...
Defenders was the first time I actually saw them on stage, since then I've only missed the Ram It Down tour. Sometimes seeing them more than once per tour.

Judas Priest doesn't have any control over what TicketMaster or LiveNation include or exclude. If the basic deal for the show has been set but the details are still to be sorted out, the venues and ticket agents can't post such info until it's complete. JudasPriest.com is doing you a favor by letting you know that a show is planned, even if ticket info is not posted.

i'm so sick of all the bullshit runaround when buying concert tickets. on sale dates are always announced at the last minute, making it extremely difficult to assemble your crew and get confirmation from everyone. prices and purchase limits aren't available until the tickets are on sale and you're "on the clock".
i'd like to see a CONCERT FANS' BILL OF RIGHTS:
- on sale dates will be announced well in advance, at least 2 weeks. this announcement must include ticket prices AND purchase limits. fans should be able to view seating/pricing charts in advance. it's next to impossible to get confirmation from friends when you can't tell them ticket prices, seating charts or how many tickets can be bought together.
- ticket brokering must end now! first come, first served must be the rule!

Nostradamus is an amazing work of art. Who could have ever imagined so many musical effects and rich orchestral movements mixed with heavy metal guitars. I am completely blown away...it is a metal masterpiece- of epic proportions.
I think it would be awesome to make this album into a feature length film, not unlike Pink Floyd's "The Wall", but bigger and heavier!!
