Judas Priest have put out a fair number of live albums over the years, and many of the tracks on Battle Cry have seen outings on several of those already. That said, this is the only official live release so far from the Redeemer of Souls tour, so at least there's some fresh material here alongside the well-worn standards - and what metal fan doesn't love Judas Priest's old standards?

What's more, Rob Halford's voice is in astonishingly good form for his age - even though a fair number of years had passed since the previous live release (A Touch of Evil), he sounds no worse than he did then and perhaps in some respects a touch better. So I can't begrudge them this too much - if I sounded that good in my mid-60s I'd want it well-documented too. Just check out the version of Victim of Changes on here if you don't believe me.
