This concert footage....was this done with Rob Halford as the lead singer or was Ripper with the band then?

Tim...Ripper`s performance is nothing but mindblowing, also checkout his Live Meltdown 98 with Priest available on CD. PowerKnight Twisted Evil

LOL sorry...I don't own any Judas Priest dvds yet...I just ordered 2 off of amazon.com......One is The Judas Priest live in London, and The other one is Judas Priest rising in the east....that one I have seen and I really like it....The one they did with Ripper I have not seen yet. Which I wanna ask a question and I want you all to be honest....Now I have heard the Judas Priest song Breaking the law(off of British Steel). Now I've been told that on the Live in London dvd, Ripper does breaking the law....Now the question is, Do you all think he did a pretty decent job doing that song?

Man, there's no need to worry. Ripper fucking rips (pun intented) on Breaking the Law. In fact, he does on the whole damn dvd. He slays.

Tim sings Priest to perfection. He's performed stuff from their entire catalog and there isn't a single song he couldn't sing perfectly.

He sounds way better than Halford on the Rising in the East DVD.

IMHO Wink

What If Ripper had stayed with Judas Priest and Rob had never come back? Can you all imagine them releasing Nostradamus with Tim doing the vocals?

No.

Well, I just listened to breaking the law from the live in London album.....Tim kicked ass on that song it's f'n great. Can't wait until I get the dvd.

If Tim was still in Priest, Nostradomus would have been a totally different album, much heavier

If things had turned out differently and Ripper was still in the band, Nostradamus would have still been a cracking album. Everything Ripper has done in Priest is f*****g unbelievable.
Even now I still have to pinch myself and think how on earth could anyone step into Rob`s shoes and pull it off...big time.
In fact due to Ripper`s younger age than Rob, he hit every note spot on and improved many of the performances.
A real first class pedigree singer, it really doesen`t get any better than this. PowerKnight Twisted Evil

I agree. I like the Nostradamus album, my favorite song from the album is Prophecy...I can imagine Tim doing the vocals, the song would have still kicked ass.
