Judas Priest + Saxon + Uriah Heep - Live Review Leeds First Direct Arena 13/3/24

Seeing them at the BIC on the 17th, haven't seen Judas Priest since Killing Machine, British Steel tours, Southampton Gaumont! Great review, cannot wait now 🤘

Great review. I'll be there in Birmingham 19th can't wait. It's been years in the making. 🤘😜🤘

Cant wait I'm at Birmingham on Tuesday a real bucket list seeing all three never seen em before wish I had but glad I have a chance now 😁😁😁

Great review , I’m going to Dublin tonight to see Saxon - I don’t know much about the other 2 bands but looking forward to it cheers

Was in Dublin last Friday night and .......same there, Saxon stole the show although Priest did switch it up a bit and played Turbo Lover and Invincible Shield so, I'd give em a solid 8.5 out of 10 and Saxon a definite 9.5 out of 10, Uriah Heap must have got their sound sorted by the time they hit Dublin and sounded excellent and I'd give em 8 out of 10...cheers

I was at the show and am going to Birmingham and Wembley. Very balanced review. Gotta say that Saxon were exellent and I can understand your score of 9. Thought Priest played really well and Rob's voice was strong, though probably still warming up. Like you, I wish that he would interact more, because he's really good at this. Likewise the costume changes just tended to kill the momentum. But overall a great show from all three bands.

Should have been standing instead of the blocks. Three terrific bands. Drinks and merchandise extortionate. Really don't like arena gigs but i couldn't miss this and really enjoyed it. Can't wait to see Heep and Saxon back in smaller venues. Sadly, Priest will always be in arenas.

Halfords overdubs and vocal echoes effects were unbearable

Saxon and Priest were epic live in the early eighties but I just wish they would retire gracefully! 😜

What is the Manchester swerve all about? Im not goin puddin country.

Great review, saw the show at Wembley last night and pretty much agree with all your views. Heep probably could have played a bit longer but i'm guessing with a 3 band bill it's sensible to factor in a few minutes leeway in case of problems with change overs and as you point out all 3 bands had a "production" of sorts rather than simply a backline and drums. Agree totally with you about Robs costume changes, it's been the same the last couple of times i've seen them and as an audience member it just leads to brief lulls in the performance and therefore i feel the show doesn't flow as well as it can, interestingly scott spoke briefly before painkiller, i wonder if maybe he should say a few more words during the show, at the end if the day Rob is Rob, he's a bit of a diva in his own way and i like the rest of the metal community love him for what he is, but i'd be just as happy if he came out in leather trousers and a jacket for the whole show!

Uriah heep by far the best since they have an hammond organ that gives them a much more evolute sound
