This may have been the loudest and one of the coolest shows I have ever seen and photographed! The bass sounds may have shaken the sensors in my cameras when photographing!! It shook my body for sure, especially being a couple feet away from some speakers. This was one of those MUST wear ear protection shows.
Dan Braun, a friend that does staging and production for Metallica and others, produced this show and I could tell it was his unique style and excellent work!
Lighting, stageing and even fire were in this show! Pyro production has gotten to an amazing level and you will see a few images here. I could feel the heat from 100 feet away and the band had to really feel it as they of course are much closer.
Check out a whole lot of photos of both bands and enjoy.
Thanks,

One of the world's leading heavy metal bands, Judas Priest, brought forth British Steel to Milwaukee's Summerfest on July 2, 2009.
Led by lead singer Rob Halford, I needed some earplugs as I photographed the band famous for their twin lead guitarists, Glen Tipton and Richie Faulkner. They were really loud on this particular night!
The band stuffed a lot of gear on stage and made the stage look a bit small for them.
I only had one and a half songs to photograph the band so this was a quick shoot.
Enjoy some photos from that night and please like me on Facebook at Rich Zimmermann Photography as I try to build up my Facebook presence.
Thanks,
