Judas Priest - Cardiff International Arena - 20/02/09

It goes without saying how good the Priest were last night in Cardiff - 35 years plus at the top of their game. (All pics by me)

Megadeth turned in a great set, combining old classics and newer stuff, lasting best part of an hour. Highlight for me was "Peace Sells". Also good was "Wake Up Dead" and "In My Darkest Hour".

To me they just lack that final killer punch that would have put them in the big league over all these years.

Megadeth's Dave Mustaine

Testament opened up the evening with a 35 minute set. I first saw them as a support band back in 1988. They weren't much cop then, and things hadn't changed much - not for me.
