Halford - Live Insurrection (2001)

The Good
Well the song selection is excellent.  You get old Judas Priest, Fight and of course the current Halford songs.  The Priest songs played on their 2000 tour were a bit of a surprise too.  Sure they played Breaking the Law and Electric Eye, but they also went all the way back to the first Priest album and pulled our Tyrant and Genocide.  The three studio tracks included are a new Halford song, Screaming In the Dark, and two old Judas Priest demos.

The Bad
Studio magic.  Not what you want to read about a live album.  A few of the songs here were recorded at sound check or on an off day and added in with "studio magic".

The Packaging
The book has all the tour dates listed as well as a nice selection of pictures taken on the road.

Bottom Line
Really a must have for a fan of Rob Halford.  The old Judas Priest songs are a treat and the songs from his current band prove that Rob can still be called the Metal God.  I would probably rate it higher but I can't get past the "studio magic" thing.
