Немного ревьюшечек на это шоу, понатыреных мной в сети, с блэксабатовского сайта:

Went to Ozzfest in Seattle (Auburn White River Ampitheater for the purists) and the 14 hour sunburn wasn’t the only thing hot there. Judas Priest gave an outstanding show. It started with Hellion/Electric Eye and Rob Halford was singing through the eyeball of a huge tarp while Glenn Tipton and KK Downing worked their dual axes with masterful execution. The complete setlist:
Hellion/Electric Eye
Metal Gods
Headin’ Out To The Highway
Touch of Evil
The Sentinel
Victim of Changes
Breaking the Law
Beyond the Realms of Death
Green Manalishi (with the two-pronged crown)
Painkiller
———– end set, start encore segment
Hell Bent for Leather
Livin’ After Midnight
You’ve Got Another Thing Comin’
The encore started with a vintage Priest show attraction: Rob Halford riding out on his signature Harley motorcycle to be followed by the tune: Hell Bent For Leather. Halford still can rock although it seemed like he clever avoided hitting some of the real high notes at some points in songs (like Victim of Changes). Or he hit the note but didn’t have the sustain that he had when I saw them nearly 20 years ago on the Defenders of the Faith tour. That’s not really a negative, as there aren’t many singers — perhaps Ripper Owens excluded — who could handle sustaining those high Halford notes. Also, a little bit of a letdown that they didn’t play anything off their upcoming new album. I was hoping for at least a brief sneak peak at some new stuff. Still, their setlist was solid and I’d say for me, anyway, this was the best part, musically anyway, of Ozzfest.

Judas Priest. Halford was on! He nailed his first scream and you could tell that really revved him up. He was pumping his fist and mouthing "Yes!!" The rest of the band however, seemed a little tired and stale. They rocked hard in a couple spots, but for the most part - not. Halford rocked hard though. Painkiller and Victim of Changes were the high notes, Breaking the Law and Living After Midnight - the lows. Then they pulled the curtain and it was time for Sabbath. You could feel the excitement building in the air, and when the band's shadows appeared on the curtain the place just erupted!

Finally, we got down to business with Judas Priests! The Metals Gods delivered the goods and then some. I liked Ripper's voice when he filled in (didn't really like the direction the music went though) but let's face it Rob Halford belongs in the Priest, and he showed that and then some. Tipton and Downing were clean and precise as they laid out all of the Priest classics. Rob Halford still has perhaps metals greatest voice; displaying the phenomenal range and power that inspired an entire style of metal in its own. What set the Priest apart from all the other bands that had performed up to that point was the crisp clean sound; you could hear clearly every word that Halford sang even though it wasn't necessary. The crowd knew all of the lyrics and sang along on many songs. Priest has such an incredible catalog and they are such talent musicians that they raised the bar very high for Tony, Ozzy, Geezer, and Bill. The slightest misstep by the Sabs and Judas Priest would take the day!
