Tracks: Rocka Rolla, Dream Deceiver & Deceiver.
Edited in Cyberlink PowerDirector 18 with my own transitions and effects.
Ian Hill… one of the most underrated and forgotten rock bassists! He just stands back there and plays his part, grooving along but rock solid! I saw Priest in 85 and he never moved, just did his job. Totally amazing!
That’s how he prefers it to this day. He doesn’t like the spotlight.
I tried to replicate his jazz bass tone in this performance when I started playing. Great bassist.
I always thought the same thing he’s been there from the very beginning and I was just hangs back and does his thing
He's another John Entwistle in that way, just stands at the back and never misses a note! His bass tone stands out in this performance
'79, '84, twice in '88, '91,
once with Ripper '97. Three times since. Oh yeah, I do have a point. Hill's bass live is so hard hitting it will change the beat of your heart.
Old grey whistle test probably the best live music show ever.
I am not from UK but always loved vintage BBC shows( or other UK network) , and this is one of the best recommendations and discoveries on UA-cam. If you have any other good shows from 70s I would greatly appreciate it ✌️
I wish more live TV performances were this well directed. The director obviously took a ton of notes during rehearsal and switched cameras at the exact right moments to show the exact right person during solos and whatnot.
HUH? I thought exactly the opposite.
When I Manage Tours. I have sheets for every song that list points and position for Lighting, Spots, Camera, etc. There are a couple versions including basic Tablature for thos musically inclined.. Makes it more precise when your crew size changes per show or you have to use local teamsters and such. Most places are great with good people but there are Always those shows that a local promoter tries to cut corners or save money for his pocket. Thus the Brown M&M Clauses in the Rider.. If they Read it and Followed said agreement, the bottles of water at the Airport with 1 Mt Dew and 1 Poweraid FruitPunch or whatever will be there... or whatever you add.. If they aren't then you Already know you better begin Micro Management...
Great Video...
And Working With FIGHT and Rob Halford for a couple shows on the FIGHT - WAR OF WORDS TOUR was An HONOR \m/.. Great Man...
Interesting comment, an insight for me. Great weekend sir.🍻
It was likely just recorded and edited together in post-production so that the camera cuts were at good moments. Very few shows like this were done live for fear that rock bands would curse or make obscene gestures.
To my memory, having seen quite a few interviews with bands from the time it was actually extraordinarily austere. Two cameramen in white coats and very little else. I always found it amazing the performances that were given on OGWT, given that it was a cold empty studio. Bob Marley with Concrete Jungle, or Focus and Hocus Pocus. I guess it just mattered enough to the bands.
Wow can you imagine seeing judas priest live in the 70s. So epic
I did! 79 when they transferred to leather! It was the loudest band i ever heard!
I did and it was. It was late 70s after Sad Wings of Destiny came out.
Priest are without a doubt one of the greatest Metal bands of all time. Their music is awesome and speaks for itself.
Old Grey Whistle Test was such a good show.
Sad Wings of Destiny...great album, love their early stuff!
The year after this. Love it
Possibly the best rock album of all time.
Rock a Rolla and sad wings
I love it all but early stuff is the best. Sad wings is my favorite.
Ha ha love the clothes, especially KK...
Glenn already had his stage moves nailed!
And Ian Hill hasn't moved out of that box in Nearly fifty years 😂😆🤣
@@fredshepard1550 OMFG I was thinking that exact same thing too 😂
How could I have missed this??! I was raised a catholic boy in the fifties and, when I grew up, the band's name scared me as being blasfemic...Almost 70 years of age now, my eyes and mind have opened over the last 40 or so and I finally can -freed of most restrictions- listen to this awesomw band. I hate Google, but love UA-cam..
Wow. I never saw this before. Great even back in 75. RIP John Hinch. Halford has always had one of the best voices in Heavy Metal
Geoff Tate had the best voice in his prime.
They looked like a southern rock band back then. Very Skynyrd-ish
I always likened that early era fashion wise to Deep Purple, who happened to be influential for K.K. and Ian.
@@craignorton1964 Don't forget Glenn and Rob, shit Halford then sounded like a cross between Plant and Gillan ON HELIUM, he really was incredible, I really prefer his vocals durin' the 70's to alot of his vocals afterwards, I mean Priest musically were more adventurous durin' the 70's than they were afterwards, I do love some of their 80's material, but I think the 70's was their best era musically, it may not have been financially successful, but creativity wise, it was very successful, I think the sweet spot from the 70's for Priest were the years from 77'-79'.
Kk rossington and glen gaines lol
@@MRPERFECT_79 That's funny, actually its K.K. Rossington and Glenn Collins, 'cause Gary Collins and Alan Rossington were the two main Skynyrd guitarists.
There hippey days
Rob Halford in his pre 'hell for leather' days. 'Hell for chiffon'.
haha
Hell bent for rhinestones
Everybody knows the lame s and m biker crap
Hell bent for making money off millions of customers
Bob Halford
I Saw Priest at the Manchester Hardrock with no more than 30 in attendance back in '75 on 'Heavy Night' . For me their first two LP's will always be the best!
Agreed. Saw them at the Marquee in late '75/'76 - was standing right in front of the speakers. Had never heard of them. I remember them doing The Ripper. Love the first 2 albums especially Run of The Mill and Victim of Changes. In fact don't have any other albums - As for Breaking The Law and other later stuff - well, that's just a joke IMO.
@@vincechittenden Like you I only own their first two albums!
First three
@@ottocastillo8891 I just checked out Sin After Sin, after your comment. I think my brother had it on vinyl. Anyway I wasn't that impressed with side 1 but the last four tracks are as good as I'd hope for from JP - they were never that consistent IMO. The riff on Let Us Pray is excellent. So yeah, I can see where you're coming from :)
I loved the rock/metal scene around that time with the likes of Strapps, Charlie, Nutz, Boxer, Silverhead etc.
This is so good. They sound so close to the record. And the guitars with such little distortion. Really impressive.
Halford is one of the greatest vocalists in Rock.
He has a 4 octave voice with an extra set of vocal chords, which makes it very hard to sing along with his songs lol...impressive to say the least.
and Phil Anselmo
@@popwarner1526 yes. A definite influence on Phil. As can be heard especially on the "power metal" album
The beast from the east !
I've got chills running down my entire body from watching this performance!
Such a shame that "Dreamer, Deceiver" didn't become a live staple. That and "Run of the Mill" are Rob's best vocal performances IMHO.
With Beyond the Realms of Death, I think they are their 3 best songs.
Dude ...I thought I was the only one who had love for Run of the Mill! Dude the drums always trip me out. John Hinch just kills the song ...check out 3:43 and on ...the drums and cymbals just breathe!!! ua-cam.com/video/ZuXoalKim9c/v-deo.html
Always nice to be reminded of the quality of early Priest!
ARE YOU KIDDIN' ME, this is when Priest were Priest, personally their best work was the 70's.
@@dinorocker8647 I tend to agree. Great band. 👍
@@grahamturner1290 Yeah, I do love some of their 80's stuff, but it just don't have the attitude and personality of their 70's output, of course its the same for most bands of this period, its just that 70's sound.
@@dinorocker8647 Unlesshed In The East is the perfect tribute to the excellence of 70s Priest.
Old PRIEST is definitely the best PRIEST!!!
FUCKIN Aaaaa brother...🥇👍👍🍻🍻🍻🍺🍺🍺🍺👌👌👌👌
@@paulquick8806 i like newer PRIEST too, but, the early stuff is definitely better! My absolute favorite band is MEGADETH though. I absolutely love music! It's like therapy for me!
Saint Priest!!!
Original monsters of rock castle donnington💪💪💪💪💪🔥🔥🍻🍻
Even better than “Parental Guidance”? 😂
The directors at TOGWT were always spot on: Glen takes a solo, camera goes on Ken
Saw them a couple of times in the 70s with Budgie in support in Liverpool, good old days
How lucky are you
Legendary
At 52 and following them since British Steel I fucking love their early stuff.
A friend and I saw priest in either 2018 or 19 in San Antonio at the Freeman coliseum they were touring for firepower but they had their respective catalog represented. Every time they played from a specific album the cover would be displayed on the backdrop with different visual graphics and animations it was spectacular visually. They played victim of changes, deceiver and tyrant from sad wings and we went apeshit. Was sooooo good he even hit the high notes amazingly perfect!!! Fantastic show
This is an absolute treasure. Thanks for sharing.
One of the greatest bands of all time
The best frontman absolutly. Halford is a living legend.
No. Just no.
@@ngc-fo5te You just hate good musicianship.
@@mikeraz594 He's more of an N'SYNC kinda guy.
The greatest "pure" Heavy Metal Band. Time has shown that.
Currently reading Rob's book, he documents his accounts of this performance. Quite a good read of the formative years of the mighty Priest.
Nice what does he say, I want to believe he says he didn't feel comfortable in those clothes it was their tru selfs and chose going full Leather.
Wow! I've never heard this...The second song is fucking brilliant! Rob Halford can scream masterfully, even then! Very cool 😎
Watching this after hearing of the death of the drummer John hinch and a founder member of Judas priest..rockin.in.priest...JOHN..🙏🤘🤘🤘
Did he get the jab?
John Hinch wasn't a founding member of Priest.
Priest seems to have a different drummer on every album.
i think the most talented was simon phillips.
@@bruwin apparently it's al Atkins..but I think the band we all know kicked off when kk was hired..priest would have been playing at social clubs and boozers around west brom but hinchy played on the rocka rolla album..all the bands are getting old now old men but what a life...
@@briandoyle6188 KK was actually one of the earlier members. Glenn was pretty much the last one hired, besides the myriad revolving door of drummers
Saw them at the Top Rank in Cardiff 1975 my favourite Priest period.
All I can say to that Tony is WOW..👍🤘🤘
Rip John, everyone was so young then. Even me
I was only 8, LOL
Me too, I was only 7. Just left 'Nam...it was a bitch.
And I was 6! Lol
Well I was 14 and and it was incredible!
John was my older cousin, used to play his drums from when I was 8 years old.On Saturday mornings I'd walk down to my Aunties house, as soon as the door opened I'd ask if he was in ,if he was out which he usually was ,I'd rush up to his bedroom and I'd play his drums for hours. I can remember rushing home from work to watch him on the telly this night, we were all so proud of him. Can't believe what's happened RIP John my big Cuz x
🤘awesome Rocka rolla, Deceiver it´s masterpiece, great behind Judas Priest🤘Great line up
Rest in Peace John Hinch🙏🕇
I love how the sign in the back says "No Smoking", WHAT THE HELL DO YA THINK PRIEST WERE DOIN' DURIN' THIS WHOLE SHOW.
The sign is for people at home watching.
My god!!! This is amazing!!!!! What a pure music!!
What a voice!
WOW!!!! What a killer jam! SO ahead of their their time.
Just young fledglings here. Who knew how high they would fly! Amazing video & performance!
I was a ardent fun of JP, but never saw them so young. I was 5 when this video was made.
Big JP fan here... why haven't I seen this b4?
75, OGWT, man their sound was solid then and now💥
Priest!! Fantastic from the very start, what a performance!!!!!
Love DREAMER/DECEIVER those lyrics damn.
The Best! Got hooked on Preist in 77.....Diamonds in the rust. And the rest is history! Rock on!!...🤘🤘
I was listening to this album recently and was amazed how good it is. You can see where Maiden got their galloping riffs from yet they never site Priest as an influence ever!
So good to see the history.
Thank you for posting this. This is a treat for me and precious. A gift.
History....so tight & polished even back then
This is CLASSIC JP!! Freakin’ bad ass!
A Walsall lad . I watched his speech at Lemmys funeral and his still has his Walsall dialect. He lived in Gorway road at The Old Coach house prior to moving to the states.We would hang around on our bikes but alas never saw him!Good band,British Steel to me their best effort.Had it on red vinyl.How very 80,s!
Reading Rob's book brought me here. This is amazing 👍
Me too. I'm at chapter 7 so far.
Same. Took a break from reading at this point when Rob mentioned UA-cam. Seen this many times but it puts it all in perspective. These guys were just starting out here. Wow.
HA! I literally just got finished w/ the book a couple days ago
Great book eh? Got it when it first came out. It was really neat to hear all the details of his life outside Priest and his solo career.
Without doubt one of the best live bands I ever seen and heard👍
Loved early Judas Priest before all the leather and studs stuff.
Thank You very much!!!👍👌🙏🤘 good staff
Man! Rob with all that hair! lol Classic! Awesome video, thanks for sharing it!😁
🤘\m/💀\m/🤘
Early priest is the best... Rockin those kimonos
Very cool older footage , sounded great ,...
0:15 Rocka Rolla
3:32 Dreamer Deciever/7:31
Deciever
*Heavy metal pioneers!* ⚡️🎸
Judas is great no matter what era...
Very Good Thank You for sharing 🙂
what a find. unreal seeing them so young. loved this album when i discovered it when it was already 20 years old. lol
So glad to watch this again….the last time was probably on 25 April 1975 😀 On strength of this, I bought Sad Wings of Destiny followed soon after by Rocka Rolla. In my opinion, Priest have been pretty consistent with their output over the years but their early albums just shine with distinction. Thank you for sharing.
It is simply beautiful
RIP John Hinch (drummer)
Amazing sound quality. Listening on headphones and the bass and drums are on point. TV performances are rarely mixed this well
This sounds like hard COUNTRY music!!!
LAME!!!!!!!
@@christianjackson9360 like a shitty zz Top 😉
Robs face when he says all men tossed forever,say no more...love PRIEST all Gen...
Rob in his sister's blouse (true story) 😄😄 What an absolute legend
Wow! Young Halford at his best. Crazy good!
This proves less is more... Excellent!
Ian Hill kills it here. They were all so young and so freaking awesome. One of my first metal albums in 78 was Sad Wings. I was 12. Have been with me through life. :) The screw up at the end is so nice. Lets us little people realize they ARE human. LOL
I love this era of Priest. The songs pre SFV have more of a raw pub show sound rather than the slick production that came from SFV on.
Nothing wrong with slick production mind you 😉🤘
The best era indeed...
No, the metal hell side of judas priest burns a lot more. /,,/,
SFV?
@@DaveMcleanJr Screaming for Vengeance
That last line "We shall stay forever" was 100% right indeed.
Rock In Power!
"John Hinch"!
Thank you for Rocka Rolla!
⚡⚘ 🥁 🕯👑 😭
Sort of like a perfect rehearsal. Brilliant.
Nice to see this in HD. Dreamer Deceiver is just so Epic.....
Perfect , brilliant , sonic , stunning 😍xx
I'm listening to Rob Halford biography and I had to look up this performance he is my all-time favorite heavy metal vocalist the band is still amazing to this day
That's how I found this gem as well! Awesome book!
It's amazing you managed to save this recording!
Only a true JP fan will apreciate this
Back when you could be heavy AF with just a little overdrive.
Four days before my fifth birthday. These guy's have been rocking forever.
I saw them during the screaming for vengeance cedar rapids Iowa 82 wow what a great rock show ..
Wow 46 years ago, the Priest brought the thunder!
Bet no one ever thought they’d end up where they did…The best metal band ever….🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Judas Priest is the world best heavy metal band in Europe & the world.
Rob excellent voice here
Victim of Changes on Unleashed in the East is one of my favourites.
That entire album is fantastic!
live from Japan
Green manalishi!
Diamonds and Rust.
Good God, Pluck Me !
Absolutely amazing. Love this.
1974 that’s top shelf 😎 premium grade rock !..!’
Saw them with Kiss in ‘79 Hooked ever since
What a fantastic performance!
Pure Gold !!!
Magic, pure magic, they don't make em like that anymore!
It was in Pebble Mill Studios BBC,
Birmingham 1975, Judas first appearance on national television. The first one was in Ostend Belgium.
Great singer great band 👏👏👏🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
Stellar video!!! Thanks for sharing. They were great even back then. Love it!!!🌟🌸🌟
This is so good
It's amazing to see this...and they had NO idea they would eventually head the world of METAL!
RIP Jeff Labar , guitar player for Cinderella
I was 25 days old when this aired ha ha.
Brings back great high school memories. So good.
Yes, me too, they do look like southern rockers I guess the leather came later 😆
That’s a great song
Wow didn’t know this side of Judas Priest Fucking love it
The riffs, the solos, the bass, drums perfectly matched the leading voice of Rob, without doubt the prime JP is unforgettable 💪🏼
So great...there's got to be more songs from this show
Great voice!
Definitely the true godfathers of Heavy Metal!🤘
@@pmbbmp and a whole lot heavier.
@@pmbbmp Sabbath was more of a doom type band, and Deep Purple was kind of a bluesy rock band. Judas Priest had more of a heavy metal sound even in their early beginnings.
