The audio quality isn’t the best, but beggars can’t be choosers. Fan-filmed footage of Judas Priest’s August 15th concert at the Bloodstock Open Air Festival (Catton Park, Walton-on-Trent, UK) has been posted online!

Priest is celebrating their 50th anniversary and were rejoined by guitarist Glenn Tipton (diagnosed with Parkinson’s seven years ago) for the performance! They broke out a bunch of songs they hadn’t played in years; “One Shot At Glory”, “Invader”, “Rocka Rolla (performed for the first time since 1976), “Exciter” (first time since 2005), “Hell Patrol” (first time since 2009), “A Touch Of Evil” (first time since 2005), “Dissident Aggressor” (first time since 2009) and “Blood Red Skies” (first time since 2012).

Judas Priest singer Rob Halford recently told Metal Pilgrim that Glenn is “still actively involved with Judas Priest, a hundred percent. Andy is still standing in that spot for Glenn with Glenn’s blessing… And my gratitude to Andy. It couldn’t have happened in a better way, if you wanna try and make something good out of it. It was a really important day when Glenn said, ‘I think it’s probably best if I step to the side and maybe we should let Andy come in.’ That was just a really beautiful act of selflessness. That’s Glenn treasuring Priest and Priest’s reputation, particularly in live concert more than anything else. So bless Glenn for that.”

Priest’s “50 Heavy Metal Years” tour starts September 8 in Reading, Pennsylvania and goes til November 5 in Hamilton, Ontario. Sabaton will serve as openers.
