Izod Center, East Rutherford, NJ, 11.18.11 – Judas Priest’s farewell Epitaph World Tour, which has seen them headline major arenas, rock festivals, and an appearance with James Durbin on American Idol, made a stop at New Jersey’s Izod Center one last time.
What to say about an arena show? They are quite possibly the best shows to shoot with regards to lighting. I probably could have gotten away with ISO800 for this show but kept it at 1600 and gave myself a faster shutter speed to work with. The photo pit was PACKED. There must have been 20 photographers so there was no moving a foot or two to the left the better frame a shot.

Great work. So glad to see Halford isn't rocking the lame Nostradamus look any more.
Thanks George! Fun shoot even for a bunch of aging head bangers.
