They did the British Steel tour the year before its 30th anniversary, then put out the special edition version of the the record with the live CD/DVD on the actual 30th anniversary, so them doing the same thing with SFV isn't all that unlikely.

Saw Priest back at MSG on the original SFV tour with this little band called Iron Maiden in the guest opening spot. This concert is still burned in my brain and considering how many brain cells I have depleted since then its amazing I still remember it

Well, they can do a Nostradamus tour and play 3-5k seat venues.  They can play all of an album and play those same venues.  Or, they could take out some other good bands and do a greatest hits show in front of 15k.  They always managed to throw in some chestnuts, so a greatest hits show wouldn't bother me.  If they're going to do an album, they should probably do Screaming while Rob still stands a chance of pulling it off--the clocks ticking on that one.

Withdrawn he'd sit there
Stare blank into space
No sign of life
Would flicker on his face...
Until one day he smiled
It seemed, as though, with pride
The wind kissed him... Goodbye...

If somehow they did their U.S. tour to coincide with Iron Maiden's off-months early next year... and they toured together... oh God. :hefdaddy

But realistically speaking, the only two other bands that came to mind are Def Leppard and Van Halen. Not sure what DF's bren up to, and I know VH is supposed to tour next year... so...

EDIT: Motörhead announced a 2011 U.S. tour a couple weeks ago... what if Priest and Motörhead toured together!!!???

EDIT2: Didn't that already happen with Heaven & Hell and Testament?

Twice, actually.  2008 with Sabbath and 1991 with Alice Cooper.  Motorhead's also opened for Maiden on these sorts of tours.

I think Rob still sounds great for his age, considering. He's got a fantastic voice
Great is relative.  He still sounds great compared to others.  Compared to himself, meh.  During the British Steel tour,  he was definitely showing signs of wear and tear.  He doesn't have that top end power anymore, so he was using that scream to replace the high notes he used to sing.  Sounds cool, but you could tell that the scream was kind of a fallback plan for what he can't do anymore. 

To be perfectly clear, I'll pay my $40 to hear Rob scream whateverthefuck he wants to, anytime.  It's still Priest and it's still badass.  Still, SFV (the song) might be a bit of a reach for him.

Unfortunately Priest got their ass kicked by Alice. Saw this twice in NJ and MA. Priest was much better on the proper Painkiller tour (Megadeth opened up here.)

I'll have to take your word for it.  Memories from that era are spotty, at best.  I only found out I was there when working on my concert spreadsheet a couple of weeks ago.  I remembered Alice Cooper and Motorhead, and was quite surprised when I learned that it was Priest that headlined.  I have no recollection of them whatsoever.  Looking over the setlist that's not altogether unsurprising. 

That was one of several concerts where I was shocked to learn that I was in attendance.   I'm probably going to unearth that I was actually trampled to death at Riverfront back in 79.

Pretty much just avoid Demolition, Point of Entry, and Turbo. The rest are mandatory.

I wouldn't say avoid them, but maybe get these last.  IMO all three of those are good albums with something to offer.

Yeah, Priest toured Painkiller proper the winter of 90/91. In Worcester, Megadeth & Testament opened. That summer they put together Op RnR and although Priest headlined, they played a shorter set. Alice was touring Hey Stoopid, and unfortunately that was the extent for him for that vastly underrated album. Alice had a great band for that tour.....Vinnie Moore, Stef Burns, Greg Smith, Eric Singer, & Derek Sherinian.
Don't forget Metal Church and Dangerous Touys also played..
I loved Mike Howe era Metal Church.

Vinnie's done some great work with UFO. More Rolling Stones than shredding. It's amazing how mature his playing is and he really fits in nicely with the UFO fogeys.

I really enjoy You Are Here and The Visitor.  Monkey Puzzle is pretty good too but I prefer the other two.  Great rock songs with amazing guitar playing!!

Bad news: This will be Judas Priest's last world tour, and is fittingly called the Epitaph Tour

The news will make my first time seeing Judas Priest that much more noteworthy. I missed them on the their 2009 tour, and I will most definitely be seeing them on this tour. Maybe even twice depending on ticket prices.
