Concert Review
Judas Priest
Invincible Shield Tour 2024
Wednesday May 22, 2024
Empower Federal Credit Amphitheater
Syracuse, NY
Review/Photos: Joseph Suto

The show was the band’s first in Syracuse since 2005 when they last played at The Landmark Theatre. Nineteen long years between visits and the first noticeable thing was the performance and sound of the band. While the years have added up the band is still putting on very extremely satisfying shows for the fans and have not lost a thing. Even at 72 years of age vocalist Rob Halford is still singing like he was back when he last came to town in 2005. Continue reading →

Ranking The Albums
The Outfield

We take on the envious task of ranking the power pop trio from England that was known as the Outfield. We rank all eight albums the band delved out from 1985-2011. Sadly when guitarist John Spinks passed away in 2014 that signaled the end of the band. Vocalist Tony Lewis released a solo album Out of the Darkness in 2018. Sadly he passed away in 2020. We relive the glorious catalog of the Outfield so sit back and relax with your favorite beverage.

The man with the Sky Guitar Uli Jon Roth brought his current tour to the Fort Hill Performing Arts Center on Saturday night. The evening was divided into two conquests.

The second set featured what the majority of the fans came for, hearing those classic Scorpions songs from the time Roth was in the band. Continue reading →

Rundgren is certainly no stranger to the venue having played it numerous times in the past. This time around he brought his Me/We Tour. Rundgren treated the crowd to a two hour plus extravaganza that touched on all phases of his long career. Continue reading →
