CurrentOn Tuesday night at Tech Port Center + Arena, the members of Judas Priest demonstrated why — an unbelievable five decades into the band's career — they're still metal gods.
The performance — the first of two Alamo City shows on the group's 50 Heavy Metal Years tour — served as a lengthy career retrospective showcasing the timeless appeal of crushing riffs paired with ace musicianship and stadium-ready choruses. It also was a reminder of why the band's sound became the template not just for the metal explosion of the early '80s but also for myriad harder-edged acts that followed.
The 71-year-old Halford relied on his throaty lower register more than he did during the band's '80s heyday. Just the same, the white-bearded frontman proved himself capable of delivering the ear-splitting falsetto shrieks that have long been his trademark.
