What you need to know:
Between classics and songs from his latest album, the ‘Invincible Shield’ of 2024, of flying almost two hours in a row of show. It was almost 00:30 when the “Living After Midnight” performers ended their set … and with the public. Concert.
Maybe Judas Priest’s last visit to Mexico and was impressive. As expected. Almost two hours that crossed the limits of one day and another and the limits that many thought there was already for Rob Halford’s voice. But none of that: it sounded spectacular.
OPETH, tremendous opening act
Almost 9:00 p.m. and in the refinery route to the CDMX arena you could see several people of people without any intention to enter the enclosure. Queer? Yes and no. No, because the intake of beer from the little stores looked quite fun. And because … well, what time was the show?
Well, maybe they had no intention of seeing the open band, Opeth…. Because, “Does Judas come out at 9:00 p.m.,” said some who did not remember that Birmingham’s pride sings “Living After Midnight.” And not. The Sweden band – which could have filled a smaller place alone – cheated several who only thought to see Halfod and company. For good: side.
“Breaking the Law” of the former, for the impatient ones who had to run to the subway
After Opeth concluded his show around 10:00 p.m., he didn’t see the time for Judas Priest to go on stage. The anxious public entertained with AC/DC and Metallica that were heard in the local sound, while the Judas Staff was hurried to have everything ready for the expected madness.
Around 15 minutes before 11:00 pm, the wait ended when “War Pigs” by Black Sabbath sounded at full volume. The lights went out and Judas Priest started with “Panic Attack”followed by “You Got Another Thing Comin ‘”, “Rapid Fire” and, probably the one they expected, “Breaking the Law.”
Good luck for many that this classic sounded soon…. Because, just as it ended, afflicted fans began to look for the exit. Some for the bathroom … others to go to little house. Perhaps for not calculating the matter: the show was barely began to heat up and it was almost 23:20. The subway was leaving …
No way, the night was long and Rob Halford brought a voice for a while. Vocerrón, rather. Something that some doubted that it could be, by the videos in which it is seen that, from time to time during the shows of this tour, it already needs to give its good oxygen pulls.
Total madness with Painkiller, which seemed that it was one of the first for the intensity with which it was executed by Haldford and, especially, by Scott Travis on the battery and the already legendary Ian Hills on the guitar. But no, that was the one that sounded prior to an encore that already announced the end.
After an unnecessary rest (for the public), the notes of “The Hellion / Electric Eye) sounded, which raised a powerful red -illuminated trident that perched on stage.
… And then, Haldford wrapped in black leather entering a motorcycle to throw “Hell Bent for Leather” … well, which one. Spectacular paraphernalia that, if new bands dared to use, would seem parody. Things like that are only legends like Judas Priest.
Between classics and songs from his latest album, the Invincible Shield From 2024, almost two hours in a row. It was almost 00:30 and several of those who were sure to be cheleando hours before the outskirts were as lumps on the banks of the track. Not suitable for chanting the very to this “Living After Midnight”…
And, after that, now yes, well served already house. Not without first shouting Queen’s “We Are The Champions.” Because yes, Sunday without a bridge and throbbing after midnight…. only for champions (or true fans).
