JUDAS PRIEST - A TOUCH OF EVIL (LIVE) (2009)

[RJhog (Admin)]

The third and final Judas Priest live album that we will mention is A Touch of Evil Live.  It was released in 2009 and marked the last time K.K. Downing would appear on a Judas Priest album, as he retired in 2011.  The album sold 5,300 copies, landing at the number 87 slot on the album charts. The song Dissident Aggressor won a Grammy for Best Metal Performance in 2010.  But truthfully, that's about the only good thing I have to say about the album.  The tracks are not fused together as a "concert experience", they are individual tracks in which the audience noise fades out between each song.  And although I think several Priest songs sound better live, it's just not cohesive to me. But that's my lowly opinion, what are your thoughts?
