Flashback To Epic Judas Priest Concert in Poughkeepsie
It was July 22, 2002 when Judas Priest played The Chance on their Demoltion tour.

In his 2020 memoir Confess, Halford blamed his departure on a "miscommunication", rather than an intentional desire to quit the band.

They’ve been designed with repurposed mirrors, reupholstered furniture and reimagined pieces. In every space, you will find something joyful, something that will surprise and delight.”
