Recorded from Section BL 102 Row C Seat 4. Directly in line with a ceiling mounted PA Stack with no obstructions. This gave a sideways view of the stage about 20 yards from the stage left looking from the audience.
So I'd been really looking forward to this gig for months, but having seen Sabaton at the same venue last year, I knew from that experience that security is one of the tightest at any Northern music venue.
We arrived at our hotel at about 3 pm and had some beer in the pub next to it. We then got a taxi and unfortunately the taxi took us to the wrong Leeds city centre pub and so we had to book another one and by the time we got to the pub next to the venue it was absolutely heaving. I'd already made the decision to ease off the beer as I wanted to watch every minute of the show.
The weather was aweful, really cold wet and windy. The doors opened at 6pm and we joined a queue at about 6.20pm. As a taper sneaking your gear in is always a nerve wracking ordeal, and all I can say is I got in with my gear, phew.
I didn't bother to record Uriah Heep, because I didn't know how long the 2 batteries in my recorder would last, and I'd made the decision that 2 spare batteries might cause suspicion whilst going through security.
Sound wise its always subjective but to my old set of ears this is a solid recording the Tascam DR-07 is a decent bit of kit.
I hadn't seen Judas Priest since 2018 in Manchester at the Apollo, on that tour KK Downing had left and Ritchie Faulkener was playing alongside Glen Tipton.
Now Glen had left due to illness and it was the first time I'd seen Andy Sneap. He had blondish hair and sort of reminded me of KK Downing when I'd first seen them back in the late 1970's early 1980's
Rob showed a nice touch by honouring a backdrop of Glen Tipton it was great to see.
I was really surprised that he can still hit the high notes but as an OAP he has to set himself before he goes that high, but fantastic to see, and he said the Priest would return and I for one sincerely hope they do.
Cheers
