The 1986 fuel for life tour, was the best Judas Priest tour ever, and I'm just happy to have witnessed that in Kalamazoo, Michigan in 1986. Forever in my memories.
@@worstknightmayor4439 Essen is a city in the Ruhr area. The Ruhr area is in West Germany. In 1986 the wall was unfortunately still standing. The Stasi was in East Germany. So in the west we were lucky enough to enjoy our concerts without the Stasi. 👍🤘👍🤘
You could have said it was from sucking all those gay guys at the Spandau concert. (although there were probably more gay guys at the Priest concert....)
I recently had the pleasure of working selling Judas Priest merchandise at their concert in Pamplona Spain. The company I worked with allowed us to go in to see the concert in shifts and, more than with the idea of getting paid, I was going with the idea of fulfilling my dream since I was a child: Being able to have the opportunity to see my always favorite group; from that moment when my father made me listen to Freewheel Burning when I was barely 4 years old. I entered the stadium and it was inevitable not to burst into tears; They were them, those gods that I had dreamed of becoming for almost 20 years, there I was with my hair down, my Defenders of The Faith t-shirt, and a handkerchief in my hand. Singing, jumping and crying like I had never done before. I will be able to die peacefully knowing that I have lived what I thought would be impossible. From always and forever.... LONG LIVE THE GODS OF METAL!!!
Halford started losing his voice a couple times in this video, but he held it together. I can't imagine how difficult it must be to scream your lungs out night after night when they are on tour. Halford's vocals is what set Priest apart from other metal bands of the era. An amazing talent!
Halford is power and feeling at the same time, a lot of singers do not give the sensation of actually enjoying singing or do any vocal experimentation. He did it all, and is still doing it.
Ooh poor Halford the multi millionaire, imagine having to visit the most amazing countries, stay in 5 Star hotel's, eat gourmet food and have as much booze as you like, it's tragic,I would never be able to do it
Judas Priest kicks ass!! End of Story!! I’ve been to at least 500 rock and metal concerts since 1987 and I’ve seen them all None other compares to the metal Gods like Judas Priest!!!
Hey ulauginghyena... A testament to you my friend; a True fan right there folks.! Spending a small fortune right there to boot also. Seen them in like 87 or 88 at the LA Sports Arena, also for me, as So many also, who put in their comments, yeah, for me best band ever, any place any time, any dimension for that matter. I can only say one or two other band(s) come close, keep that to myself. Great comment by wày, man...
In the mid-80’s I sang in a band that did quite a few Priest covers. As a 19 year old I could hit all the notes and screams but once I got into my late 20’s/early 30’s I lost my range. How Rob Halford could continue to sing like he does for decades is beyond comprehension.
one of the best heavy metal concerts ever recorded, I saw this in VHS back in the day, Rob´s vocals are at its fines, those guitar solos, the sound and energy, all in top form, RIP Dave Holland say what you want about the man but his drumming here is hard rocking
@Tessmage Tessera Glenn tipton was a problem with management. As great Dave could be , they restricted him in creativity from his natural drumming , which included more free chops , funky grooves , and a fluent use of the double bass . Thats why he left in 1989 . The incident you talk about went way after . And yet , if it was true
This was my introduction to Priest, and to metal, as I first heard this song on the Priest Live! album back in '87. Between this and Maiden's Live After Death (discovered simultaneously), life was forever altered. Rob's voice just cuts right through in this, as good as he still is today, this era was the pinnacle for him, to my mind.
Fast and furious We ride the universe To carve a road for us That slices every curve in sight We accelerate, No time to hesitate This load will detonate Whoever would Contend its right Born to lead At breakneck speed With high octane We´re spitting flames Freewheel burning On we catapult We´re thrusting to the hilt Unearthing every fault Go headlong into any dare We don´t accept defeat We never will retreat We blaze with scorching heat Obliterations everywhere Born to lead At breakneck speed With high octane We´re spitting flames Freewheel burning Look before you leap Has never been the way we keep Our road is free Charging to the top And never give in never stops The way to be Hold on to the lead With all your will and concede You´ll find there´s life With victory on high Freewheel burning
When I and they were young, (1980 something) I went to their concert in Philly so excited to see them. The volume was so load that it took me 1/2 a song to figure out what song they were playing. We stayed for about 4 more songs and we gave up. I still love them, but that 1 concert kept me away since then. They are great musicians, why didn't you let me hear them? I am still a fan and listen to them all the time, rock on!
I Hurricane dude there was no speed metal before this song... It was 1984 when the song came out... This was the birth of speed metal... When those lyrics he was singing so fast you could not understand it speed metal was born
Anyone else impressed with the energy of JP and the crowd in this stadium. Unreal and unmatched ! Would have loved to have been there and been a part of that epic night of heavy metal.
One of the greatest Judas Priest songs and one of my favorites. Defenders of the Faith was one of, if not THE, greatest JP album. Takes me back to my childhood when it came out and I bought the cassette and spent the summers at the outdoor waterslides, cranking up the boom box with DotF and NotB from Iron Maiden. Good times at 13 years old. :)
Tuve la suerte de vivir en una generación de increíble riqueza musical y variedad de bandas y estilos, que incluyeron las décadas 70 y 80, más lo que ya había del 60, y los 90, que no estuvieron nada mal. Mi vida fue increíblemente mejor gracias a todos esos genios que fueron unos grandes aliados y compañeros de ruta. Hoy veo que se van muriendo varios, y siento mucha nostalgia de los buenos momentos compartidos, pero sobre todo una enorme gratitud de haber sido contemporáneo de todos ellos. Saludos a todos desde Argentina.
I also went to this concert. I was 16 and was my 2nd ever concert to the Texas jam in 85. Tickets were like 15 bucks and we had no idea they were recording a live video until my cousin showed me and a friend fuel for life concert video at the time ram it down was coming out and we were like omg that's us I mean we were there. Talk about good freaking times in those days. 80's metal and being a mid teenager in the big D 😭please come back I miss you so much.
Factoid -- this was filmed in 1986, the year that Rob Halford went sober and gave up drugs, around that time give or take months. His energy and voice on highest, I can't imagine what he had to fight to pull through it.
As a Priest maniac, I disagree. Check out some 1984 concerts. There were good ones, but also there were many weak performances - because of Rob. He was destroying himself with alcohol and drugs and it was very easy to notice. He was in the best form during Ram It Down Tour, after leaving his addictions behind.
@@themodernguitarist They played as Fast in 1984 too They always been fast since 1977 . And live especially . But they updated over the years yeah . Glen' however was drunk and on Coke .

I had a similar experience the other week seeing Iron Maiden. To finally see a band you've been in to for 40 years is a religious experience.

They turned the tempo up a notch with this performance of freewheel burning, speed metal at its finest !

Hands down this one of the best concerts ever recorded.
That voice, absolutely epic!
Solo una palabra define a JUDAS PRIEST
PERFECCION!!!!
Laneta esta chingon
Perron
English por favor.
La mejor música es de judas priest
Judas Priest puso de moda el cuero, las púas y demás cosas. ¿Dime algo más metal que eso? Exacto, solo su música es más metal.
That solo precision is out of this world. Tipton is THE absolute boss. He’s my number one 🖤
Can't get enough of Priest! Unforgetable!
This tour was amazing and Rob was F**KING off the vocal charts...Seriously he is the METAL GOD.

This song has to be at the top of the list for thunderous heavy metal songs
There's just no other performance like Judas priest arguably the best in the entertainment world...

Perfection 💎
Fast and furious
We ride the universe
To carve a road for us
That slices every curve in sight
We accelerate,
No time to hesitate
This load will detonate
Whoever would
Contend its right
Born to lead
At breakneck speed
With high octane
We´re spitting flames
Freewheel burning
On we catapult
We´re thrusting to the hilt
Unearthing every fault
Go headlong into any dare
We don´t accept defeat
We never will retreat
We blaze with scorching heat
Obliterations everywhere
Born to lead
At breakneck speed
With high octane
We´re spitting flames
Freewheel burning
Look before you leap
Has never been the way we keep
Our road is free
Charging to the top
And never give in never stops
The way to be
Hold on to the lead
With all your will and concede
You´ll find there´s life
With victory on high
Freewheel burning
Tryhard
Fast and furious
We ride the universe
To carve a road for us
That slices every curve in sight .... like me motorbike when i'm red lining me KWAKA 😁😁😁😁
Seen this concert, toronto
