Judas Priest concert chronology

The Judas Priest Tour was a concert tour by British heavy metal band Judas Priest. It ran from 25 November 1969 until 20 April 1970, venturing through cities in England and Scotland. The tour consisted of the early original line-up featuring Al Atkins on vocals, Ernie Chataway on guitar, Bruno Stapenhill on bass and John Partridge on drums. Previous member John Perry (guitar) died from either a car accident or suicide, according to Atkins, and was replaced by Chataway shortly after the band's formation.

Setlist

The band performed cover songs (one per gig) as they had no material of their own at the time. Another song, apparently from blues/folk musician Sonny Terry, was played but is not known what they performed [1]

  1. Born to be Wild (Steppenwolf cover)
  2. Summertime Blues (Eddie Cochran cover)
  3. Unknown Sonny Terry song
