He has never moved a lot. Just walking around even in 80s and 90s. So its not that different.
The guitars sound different to me. Less "metalic distortion" and is simple there are 2 different guys playing. I saw judas in 2005 and 2009 i think kkdowning and glenn were there for sure.

The Andy Sneap mixed stream is tuned in post. It is thus not "live auto tuned". Neatly and subtly tuned, but evident if you have an ear for it. Can't say I've spotted anything out of the PA.
Neither did Phil of Wings of Pegagsus. The lines here are neither tuned, or backing tracks. But yeah, as I said, there is backing track support behind the lead vocal at times.

In all guns blazing there was a huge difference between when he is singing without music and after. Im talking about how clear and powerfull sounded. Maybe is not a tape and is him but who knows. Apart from that i dont see anyhing weird like with wasp that they used many backing parts.

Pretty sure the intro to All Guns Blazing is a live lead vocal with additional vocal tracks mixed about the same level, to fatten it up and the package is then topped off with a cloud of reverb and delay. That's how I remember it.

Yup, exactly.
I've seen 2 Faithkeepers shows. I'm still thinking about going to another one, but this is an unlikely scenario, sadly.
Anyway, I got to see how his voice changes throughout the early weeks of the tour. It wasn't the first time for me, but it's always a nice thing to experience, if you're interested in the details.
I was worried at first because the opening night was... Rough, to say the least. Painkiller was absolutely butchered by Halford. Panic Attack was terrible. Even Lightning Strike sounded below average. But a few days later the performance was much better, and I was really happy with what I heard. And after that my second show was even more satisfying because he figured out how to sing the songs included in the setlist.
If playback was being used, there'd be no progress. He'd start the tour and end it singing the songs in the very same style. There'd be no or very few changes in what he's doing. But if you compare the BOBfest (the first Faithkeepers date) performance to, let's say, the video from Warsaw posted here, or any other recent show, you'll easily notice the difference.
It seems to me that, starting with the show in Ostrava, Rob has found a certain consistency, and the upcoming concerts will likely be performed at a similar level.

Yeah, I just checked it out. It's a diminished performance for sure, though typical of modern Halford. First round of shows are a bit rough, then significant improvement, and then often a declining curve towards the end of the tour, if it's a long tour that is.
