AMG Review of Live in London

All Music Guide

Live In London will hopefully be the last of the Tim "Ripper" Owens-led Judas Priest outings. As of this writing in January 2004, the classic Priest lineup of vocalist Rob Halford, lead guitarist Glenn Tipton, lead guitarist K.K. Downing, bassist Ian Hill, and drummer Scott Travis are back in action and planning to record to and tour. This is an acceptable date featuring two CDs of classic Priest tracks and video footage, but even though it is an inspired performance, it lacks the sheer outrageousness of the Halford-led band.
