A pure heavy metal masterpiece. I saw them in concert twice (2001 & 2004) and they were amazing. With all the respect to Richie Faulkner and Andy Sneap, no one beats K. K. Downing and Glenn Tipton.
I couldn't agree more. I've seen them three times. With Glenns mad mad Guitar skills, I adore him and pray only the best for him, always in my prayers. Love these guys! .❤️🇬🇧
Absolutely.......I was in my early teens and saw them in '84 and pretty much throughout the '80s in the prime years along with an early '90s show. Saw them again in 2008 and they still put on a killer show.
Toda la Razón amigo los solos solos y riffs de estos 2, deberían ser patrimonio del Heavy Metal , en riding of the wing , gringe , mucho antes de Pain killer tienen hermosos solos en Stained class , etc
I totally back this comment up, saw them in Greece, first time in 2022 and second time 2024. Blew me away how halford was better physically in 2024 and even much more powerful vocalwise in 2024, he was already impressive in 2022. Definitely top 3 lives I've seen. In 2022, I moshed pit all the live and reached to squeeze to be 4th from the front row and I saw painkiller and the encore right in my face. In 2024, I was way back and it was like I had a chance to relive the 2022 from a laid back POV and actually hear the band more (same venue too). But i was afraid being so way back the music wouldn't reach me the same but the mfs did it anyway, even if the people that were around were totally different and were stuck up.
I remember back in the late seventies I went to see UFO and there was a warm up band that I had never heard of by the name of Judas Priest. I couldn't believe what I was seeing and hearing these guys stole the show! I'm almost 65 and these guys still kick ass!
Same here! They opened for UFO at the Chicago Stadium. Late 70's before I joined the Army. They not only Rocked the Chicago Stadium, they blew it up. Closed with Green Manalishi. Great performances. 😎
Priest's first US heading tour. Most Dates included Maiden's first trip to the US ( Paul Dianno singing) and Whitesnake (deep purple line up). Great tour indeed.
Rob Halford is my vocal hero. Sad Wings of Destiny is one of the greatest albums ever. There is so much amazing music out there. I love so much of it. But when I want or need comfort food I come back to Judas Priest.
This is what you call REAL.. Talent! Craftmanship! Musicianship! Awesome guitars! Awesome drums! BEYOND AWESOME VOCALS! FFFFFUUUUCCCCKKKKKKKK YYYYEEEEAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
I was at THIS concert! 16yrs old and full of angst and Jack Daniels, shit I was a wild child! How I made it to 53, I'll never know.... metal musta pulled me thru!!😈🎸
@@alekseygorbachev6681 So Cool! Hope you get to see Priest there. Regards from Philadelphia PA in the States. Check out the live '83 version of this song. Freakin' shreds. BILL
The best metal right there in this 10 minutes no doubt. The guitar, drums and the execution by Halford is on point. This is why I consider Judas Priest the best metal band because they can play so diverse tracks
Nothing more true could be said. Rob was interstellar on that tour. There used to be clips from the Miami show on youtube. They were fan filmed and rough but you could tell he was spot on. You've encouraged me to look and see if more have been added from the RID tour.
If you don't love this song, you can't be my friend. lol This is a beast of a song. Absolutely incredible and masterful arrangement. Musically mind blowing. Vocally .... wow...just my god. Goosebumps from head to toe. The control he has over his instrument. Rob Halford is a metal God.
Saw them at a small club outside Chicago in their early days. Best live show, ever. They were loaded for bear, with enough gear to fill a stadium. You didn’t just hear the music, you felt it. It was a total aural onslaught.
Well, It is official Judas Priest was just announced to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame! The band has been together for over 50 years and have put out at least 18 albums and 6 live albums, they opened for Led Zepplin in the early 70's at The Day on the Green and along with Black Sabbath were the only 2 metal bands at Live Aid in the 80's. They have toured the world many times. I will never forget the first time I ever heard them was in high school and we were skipping class and someone said have you ever heard of these guys? They put in a tape of Sad Wings of Destiny and the song Victim of Changes played...and I was hooked, then I saw them live in concert for the first time a couple of years later on the British Steel tour. I have had all their albums and seen them many times. I'm so happy for them as they deserve it and everyone who has played in the band will be there including Les Binks. Congrats to Judas Priest!!!
i had a guy i used to work with who went to see mark 3 deep purple and his hearing never fully recovered. he's still part deaf even now and that was 1974.
This is true Metal! This concert made its debut on MTV . I recorded it on Beta max and I’ve watched hundreds upon hundreds of times. I’m 56 now and I just watched it again with in my EarPods I’m. Freaking awesome. The whole band ….freaking awesome concert. Tipton is a fantastic guitarist. Hanford insane and phenomenal frontman.
Seen these guys 83-90’s. Prime time. Iron Maiden, Priest , Metallica & Queensryche All the Hardest, loudest pure sound I’ve ever seen. Yes all the Greats followed Sabbath, and they had influence / blues rock before them. All of them Are my top metal ( Queensryche progressive/ metal) bands ever. 52 years worth
@Jim Leask Well, Not quite. It came together in the early 1980's but Much of their best came in the 70's. But I do agree with you that their peak probably was '82 or '83. Their concert videos from these years are absolutely stellar. 1984+ was horrible with the hair metal look for hard core traditional fans like me. Nothing worse than seeing KK with high hair and beach sunglasses! And I love KK! Rock A Ro= 70's Sad Wings= 70's Sin After Sin= 70's Stained Class= 70's Hell Bent= 1979 British= 1980 Point of= 1981
Saw Priest live in a smaller venue earlier this year and they still kill it. Glenn Tipton even came out for the encore! One of the best sounding shows I've ever been to.
I am 62 going on 63 and I was 24 years old when this badass concert went on by Metal and the God of Metal Rob halford and Judas Priest..in Memphis Tennessee...
That’s what is missing in today’s Judas Priest. The two guitarists don’t do anything but just stand there like statues as they play. Kk and Glenn have stage presence and play guitar dramatically with the music and visually for the audience. Glenn has great eye contact and charisma.
KK and Glenn are my favorite guitar duo but Richie Faulkner is a great guitarist and he has a great stage presence, that cannot be said for Andy Sneap.
I LOVE JUDAS PRIEST, FOREVER AND A DAY., HOW THE ROCK HALL OF FAME HAS NOT YET INDUCTED THESE ROCK LEGENDS ABSOLUTELY BLOWS MY MIND, THEY SHOULD BE ASHAMED. I AM 60 AND I HAVE ROCKED WITH THESE GUYS SINCE THE BEGINNING, TODAY I WAS LISTENING TO VENGENCE LIVE 82, IN FACT ALL WEEK I AM AN IRONMAN IN TRAINING AND THESE MUSIC IS POETRY TO THE SOUL ROCK ON PRIEST THE WORLD KNOWS U R HALL OF FAMERS, WE JUST GOT TO WAIT TO THE ROCK HALL OF FAME WAKES THE F... UP
Reflection tonight. My Freshman year Benson high school, dude says let's go see Judas Priest, im in bro let's go. CHANGED MY LIFE FOREVER. Peace my for real Metal family.
Randy Rhodes would have blown them both away and still alive today Eddie Van Halen can blow them away and Alex Lifeson of Rush will stomp them Maiden guitarist Harris and I forget the other guy will bury them Yngwie Malmsteen a lot of guitarist are way better than them but for what they were doing Priest was a good band good sound but far from the best!!!
Of course. Nearly 40 years have gone and none of the younger bands came even close to the level of their work. Not to mention this year 30 years old album Painkiller, which is for me the most modern heavy metal album. After 30 years seriously? What are younger generations doing that majority of them I just throw into a trash after listen their song on a radio or internet. So when I am buying albums on vinyl or CD it is mostly pre-1990 era.
@@emmanuelmasih2296 No way. I like Maiden and I've seen them half a dozen times. Excellent shows, all of them. But I also saw them open for Judas Priest at the Capitol Center (Maryland), summer of '81. Priest was CLEARLY better than Maiden 38 years ago and I can remember it as if it was yesterday!
Since I was 17 in 79 I sang this song in a band called Possessed after turning on all my friends to Judas Priest when I got hooked on the Sin after sin album they influenced me almost as much as Ozzy and Sabbath but The Prince if Darkness is still my #1 before them as heavy metal's Greatest to me even though so many others have grinded into my soul! Long live Judas frikin Priest!!
I've seen them almost every time they come to town.. I'm 55yrs old.. just seen them about 2 months ago. Halford it is truly the metal god.. I watch the older videos and I see the arenas completely full Halford said it all these people were united through heavy metal
One of my favorites, and "the final scream" always delivers. But Rob's live performance at the San Bernardino festival 1983 is something so utterly otherworldly it continues to blow my mind every single time I hear it.
I always have loved this band, when they kicked Rob out, I wish I could have seen them Ripper Owens. He filled some big shoes. Then Rob came back and i got to see them 2 times and still loved it.
December 1981 Judas Priest was my first Concert. Opener was Accept. I never forget this great time. I listen since over 40 years Heavy Metal. For me the best to relax.
51 years old and still can't believe I never saw Priest Live especially during the early 80s. But I definitely put this tour on the 50in flat pounding out of a pair of Klisph on 11.
The drum riser bottom, 8 ft in the air. The sound of a Harley starting. The doors beneath the drums open and Halford rides his Harley onto the middle of the stage. Good times.....
![Judas Priest - The Green Manalishi (With the Two Pronged Crown) [Live Vengeance '82]](/img/n.gif)
Most people do not understand how great Judas Priest are. It somehow has passed a lot of people by. Time, however, will be very kind to them.
i totally agree.....
Yes. Very true. Drives me crazy
@@MidnightIsolde Drives you insane*
I think Stained Class is up there
Very much indeed😎

This song seriously has one of the heaviest classic metal riffs of all time
Which Mercyful Fate loved so much that they decided to do their own spin on it.
Sounds like SABBATH
@@robertstanfordcam2649 Sounds nothing like them to me. The two guitar attack, way more raw drive in Priest opposed to the grind of Sabbath.
Ok... Love bott bands
@@Neonmirrorblack Don't you mean The Ripper?
Kids if there’s still a chance to see Priest live, PLEASE do so. They are phenomenal live.
I've been a Priest fan all my life I've seen them 80, 82, and 85 I am going to see them in Albany NY May 21, 2024

I just did last night. One of the greatest shows I've ever had the chance to see.
@@stevefernandez9986 best years I hear you
Pinnacle of Heavy Metal. No self parody. Insane dynamic range, from lows to highs. Smooth when needed, no holding back when full on.
This song is 7 octaves.
I listen to it every day
I remember back in the late seventies I went to see UFO and there was a warm up band that I had never heard of by the name of Judas Priest. I couldn't believe what I was seeing and hearing these guys stole the show! I'm almost 65 and these guys still kick ass!
UFO Phenomenon was killer
Same here! They opened for UFO at the Chicago Stadium. Late 70's before I joined the Army. They not only Rocked the Chicago Stadium, they blew it up. Closed with Green Manalishi. Great performances. 😎
LOL..l remember UFO..
Awesome Sir 🍷
I am right there with you buddy, it was when they were first coming out. UFO is badass too.
The BEST heavy metal concert I ever saw in Philly!! Iron Maiden opened. Left some brain cells behind that night 😵
Maiden and Priest on the same night ? Man...
saw that tour in Little Rock
AWESOME
I saw JP at the Spectrum 88', Ram it Down Tour!
holy shit man, what a concert that must have been!
Priest's first US heading tour. Most Dates included Maiden's first trip to the US ( Paul Dianno singing) and Whitesnake (deep purple line up). Great tour indeed.
Accept no imitations. This is real Metal. From the Metal Gods.
LIKEWISE!
Esta perron
REAL AND AWESOME METAL
Yeah growing old is pretty fucking brutal, I mean metal!
Absolutely
Glenn and kk, THE greatest dynamic duo EVER!!!!!
Absolutely !!
Tipton and Downing the best guitar duo ever!!!!!
Dave Murray and Adrien Smith….. Close second 😮!!
I'm a 56 yr. Old life long ROCKER, My 11 yr. old son rocks out to JP and it warms my heart to know I showed him The True Metal GODS!
Rob Halford is my vocal hero. Sad Wings of Destiny is one of the greatest albums ever.
There is so much amazing music out there. I love so much of it. But when I want or need comfort food I come back to Judas Priest.
Glenn Tipton and K.K. Downing had tremendous power together.
Best duo in HEAVY METAL. By far!!!.
At this time there were few double lead metal guitarists….. Dave M and Adrian S from Maiden and that was about all from this time….
This is what you call REAL..
Talent!
Craftmanship!
Musicianship!
Awesome guitars!
Awesome drums!
BEYOND AWESOME VOCALS!
FFFFFUUUUCCCCKKKKKKKK
YYYYEEEEAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
"Realize I'm getting old and no one seems to care! "
What and awesome era!
Absolutely right my friend seen them live so many times!!! 😉
It's crazy seeing these guys back in the day pretty fucking tight.
It ain't fair!!
So many great Guitarists in the world, but never heard a tandem of two together that could Match Glenn and KK.
Hang in there Glenn. All of us Priest fans are pulling for you. Good luck!!!
Even at 55, this is STILL one of the go to songs to pull up, put my headphones on, spark a Doobie and JAM TOO. 2/× 4 Thumbs UP

Greatest singer of all time period, in his prime. No one could touch Rob's octave levels. Delivery, lyrics !
King Diamond can give him a run for his money octave wise.
Ian Gillan too
while I agree I have to say I dont like his performance here at all. he sounds terrible
Dude from Nitro, can bring it also, would love to hear him do this song..
@@richardw9863 Without a doubt. King Diamond doesn't fuck around.
sorry to say folks, it really doesnt get any better than this, priest are superb, they were at their peak here
Listen to some concerts from 1988. Their best tour, Rob's voice was never so good before and after that period.
Nothing more true could be said. Rob was interstellar on that tour. There used to be clips from the Miami show on youtube. They were fan filmed and rough but you could tell he was spot on. You've encouraged me to look and see if more have been added from the RID tour.
th-cam.com/video/Wvlq1F-X6Ko/w-d-xo.html
For the voice. Never cleaner.
I think the performance of this in the video from US-Festival 1983 is better. My favorite version is the Unleashed in the East track.
wish I could go back in time to the good old days
metallica
Huh?
Mewho.......Priest man, Maiden......I know not of whom you speak
Just to have a chance to go to this concert.
Seen that concert @ the Meadowlands, NJ , Iron Maiden opened for them....Awesome concert!!
This was broadcast on the radio and I recorded it. Still have the cassette.

The speech Halford gives at the beginning is just great
He frequently says “indeed.” I love that!
These were the times, where real musicians tour the globe and timeless masterpieces were played.
One of the best written, composed, played and sung songs in the history of humanity.
Back in 76 when you could release a 7min 47sec album version and without hesitation play it live for years to come!

That wall of Marshall's amp left me hearing bells for a week and I fuckn loved it!!! Long live Priest.

This entire concert was broadcasted on MTV, if you can believe that. I use to record all those MTV shows on Saturday night.
The good ol'days when MTV played music 🤘
Our Generation had the best Rock/Metal to date, just music in general as well🤘🤘
Ian Hill, he never gets talked about.

The whole reason they exist
His bass killer and fire

I performed this song (guitar) as my Final exam for my music class in highschool. I passed.
This is still one of my favorite albums of all time! Changes... Dreamer...Dreamer Deceiver. I absolutely love the album cover! Totally awesome!!

I’m 57 and sounds like me. Betamax and maybe 1000 times.! Incredible show.
Seen these guys 83-90’s. Prime time. Iron Maiden, Priest , Metallica & Queensryche
All the Hardest, loudest pure sound I’ve ever seen. Yes all the Greats followed Sabbath, and they had influence / blues rock before them. All of them Are my top metal ( Queensryche progressive/ metal) bands ever. 52 years worth
Perfection! Best Priest track and a strong contender for the best metal track of all time. Sheer brilliance.
Over the years I think I've watched this concert like 278 times.

@Jim Leask not so, they were great 70's, 80's and 90's with an awesome Roar back op the mountain in the past decade.
I loved the 80's too - best music is from 70's and 80's, IMHO. But the 80's were SO fun and colorful.

Peak Metal. Nothing has ever surpassed Victim live.

Saw Priest live in a smaller venue earlier this year and they still kill it. Glenn Tipton even came out for the encore! One of the best sounding shows I've ever been to.

1:41 Whiskey woman don't you know that you are driving me insane!!!!!!!!
+Uchiha Madara I have a tendency to do that.. ;-)
Great lyrics by Al Atkins 👍 I like the original Al Atkins version much too.
If we didn't have electric guitars, we'd be playing
jug band music.

LOVE U GUYS & GOD BLESS U BROTHERS
The greatest metal band ever!!!!
... is Black Sabbath.
@@BobPapadopoulos jajajja...I love black sabbath....but I've not listened Many others metal bands...just Budgie I remember.
Its Iron Maiden.
For me Slayer and Judas Priest are the best metal bands.
This is the song that turned me into a fan. Such an epic, heavy song.
Saw this concert in Greensboro N.C. [Screaming For Vengeance tour/83]...I caught a drum stick........Was blown away by these guys!
Great Ole Composition !!! ♦️
I saw priest at Manchester Apollo and became a massive fan 40 years ago. Rob holford has the ultimate rock voice, Awsome.
I always have loved this band, when they kicked Rob out, I wish I could have seen them Ripper Owens. He filled some big shoes. Then Rob came back and i got to see them 2 times and still loved it.
Remember when MTV would play Heavy Metal concerts on Sat nights. I recorded them all. Watched this one about 30 times.
Priest at their peak. those old albums nothing better
December 1981 Judas Priest was my first Concert. Opener was Accept. I never forget this great time. I listen since over 40 years Heavy Metal. For me the best to relax.
51 years old and still can't believe I never saw Priest Live especially during the early 80s. But I definitely put this tour on the 50in flat pounding out of a pair of Klisph on 11.
I'm 50 finally saw them live for the fire power tour!!! You have 1 last chance for there 50th aniversery!!
@@jaus500 Awesome! I hope they make a stop at Hard Rock in Biloxi. Love Firepower- whole record is fire!
The drum riser bottom, 8 ft in the air. The sound of a Harley starting. The doors beneath the drums open and Halford rides his Harley onto the middle of the stage. Good times.....
