- Judas Priest performing at Live Aid in front of 100,000 people in the John F. Kennedy Stadium, Philadelphia USA on the 13th July, 1985. The event was organised by Sir Bob Geldof and Midge Ure to raise funds for the Ethiopian famine disaster. Broadcast across the world via one of the largest satellite link-ups of all time, the concerts were seen by around 40% of the global population.

...and the crowd cheered when Rob personally executed the sound technician right after this song
Haha 😂
lol
Fuckin ridiculous man! They need to get someone who had sound chops for such a nice event.
stop lol your killing it!!
ABC network built the stage and provided the satellite feed. All bands had 10 mins to get ready backstage on a rotating dial. The PA and all heavy equipment was shared. Most bands also shared the drum kit, not sure what Dave Holland was using.
This was the largest simulcast ever at the time.
I very recently finished reading Rob’s autobiography. He wrote that Priest were at the very height of their popularity at this time, yet it was the lowest point in his personal life.
He has remained sober since ‘86.
Judas Priest needs their own movie like the Queen
well Rob wrote his biography this last few months inspired in BoRhap movie, I'd like a Halford movie, but I'm ok with a book - he also recorded the audio book.
The film 'Rock Star' is loosely based on Priest, even down to a singing photocopier salesman replacing the gay vocalist.
If they ever do, Matthew Rhys would be my choice to play him
Me to, great!!
Nice choice!

Okay who is with me on the conscious that this band needs an honorary Grammy award as well as induction into the rock and roll hall of fame the justifiably deserve it
Hall of Fame is a joke. Aren't they allowing rap acts now?
I couldn’t agree more bro....PRIEST PRIEST PRIEST !
Way Overdue!
@@gbaker9295 doesn’t take away from the fact that there are still many great rock bands & artists in it.
They're not in the Hall? Holy shit!
That voice just fucking slaughters!
The best metal singer ever as far as I'm concerned.
Judas Priest are awesome.
Hell yeah
I LOVE Judast
Jesus the feed back off those speakers 😬😬😬😬
Lemmy...
Rapid fire is my favorite by then
I always love it when the camera guy is on the wrong guitar player during the solo. :p
Jeff Smith I hate it :P
I hate it
Cos they couldn't really give a shit and not into music, it must be.
Every time...
Epic fail there that and the fucking sound man can manage the mic feedback just shameful
You had one job sound tech... One job...
He was at a JP concert in the 80s. He was stoned!!!
Cracking up!
That was brutal to set though.
@@The_Real_Indiana_Joe well it was hard because they had to change bands every 15 minutes
I know, WTF !
I want the 70s and 80s back😭😭😭
FUCK YEAH YOUR POINT!
Good thing we have Spotify to listen to this song and thousands of others literally whenever we want
Same here
The world now sucks ass😅😅😅
I just wanna 70's and 80s metal back
Young and healthy we all miss that don't we😮💪??!?!!
Feedback technical issues aside this is the best version of living after midnight out there. The band sounds great and Halford is just completely awesome here. He looks mad cool and sounds fantastic.
Big agree. Definitely Robs best look.
And the feedback issues are very understandable given that none of the bands got a soundcheck. Performance is still tight AF.
Also in Memphis in 1982 was a great show, Rob Halford at his best!😎🎤🎸
Agree. Check the video of them at the us festival, soooo good.
Rob had kicked booze, and was thinner, happy and healthy.
Killer bad azz voice , Sir Rob Halford ! God I miss the 80’s !
I was there in that crowd....great performance....great memories.
2 years later........yes I see you
Listen to the metal god. Still listening rob
One of the best singers of all time!
YOU GOT IT!
90 degrees out and the Priest in their usual leather !
Glenn Tipton sweaty in black leather is worth it. YUM!
Of course... metal gods till the end.
They probably changed into shorts and t-shirts afterwards.
Yeah but you gotta admit Rob Halford truly turned a few heads in the leather pants. Guys and gals alike
It was 102 that day, I was there. It was 90 at 10:00am.
Halfords voice can carry a stadium then and now
Ronnie James dio and hearing aid were the leaders of the pack
@@davidthomson7391 man, if only dio and ozzy could collaborate....
It always struck me how halford was more macho and tougher looking than literally any of the glam metal bands of that same time period, who all basically looked like my sister. He was and is a total badass
Good rasp to Rob's voice, yet he still hits crazy high notes;& gets the crowd singing, too .
darts and booze baby
I wish I existed during this era
From the raw power of Black Sabbath's black tar to Judas Priest's refined jet fuel vibe, metal's awesome power flies in the skies roaring in all its forms. Don't let the spirit die, keep soaring!
Both of course from Birmingham!!! 🤘
Metal took a shit and gave up it's magic when it decided to copy the Bad Brains, (you can thank Metallica ect for that) -Tried to be cool-. Can't go back.
Learning new respect for that drummer... Hell yeah!
Love that, at the crack of dawn, 90,000 people are singing “LOADED!” Many were!!👍👍
The most powerful voice in Rock, Metal, well music period. . .
Robert Plant. Ian Gillan. Ronnie James Dio. Halford sings like an angry docker.
@@heraldeventsandfilms5970 but like Dio, Halford has a natural 5 octave range.
@@heraldeventsandfilms5970 bruce Dickinson
@@brucedickinson12 Well yes and many more, right up until the present day. I think though, that heavy rock has the likes of Plant, Gillan and Dio in the top league and Halford and Dicksinson were always in the second division.
@@jeffersowilson7936 For Real? He is good for what he does but his range is not quite there. Just my opinion. I love the way they did Whiskey in a Jar I tried to get them to use my video idea but they said it would cost too much money to produce and film. Pirate ships and peg legs and such.
Nothing says Judas Priest like Rob Halford in leather!
I had to listen to this 3 times tonight , it's so outrageous. Hard to believe this was done in the middle of the day - what a showman.
For some reason I'm most impressed with Dave Holland's timekeeping here. No matter how many wrenching mic feedback squeaks there are, he keeps tappin' as if he doesn't hear them. PS. poor choice in sound manager lol.
The producer had no idea who Judas Priest are. He pans on KK for the solo when it is Glenn playing it.
80s metal still undefeated... Legends....
*cough* 70s Metal *cough*
Halford in his prime.
Yes in range you are correct But his voice more seasoned but man he had a pair of lungs. During whisky women
@hawabonga zothew respectfully disagree. Around 83-85, halford was taking serious drugs. Once he became clean in 86, he voice was amazing. In the live 88 shows (where priest was performing songs in the ram it down album) that was def his true peak
Those "Come on"s... Great
He looks completely different
1991 was really good too.
The peak year for Judas Priest.
best band ever
All the Madonna fans must have been freaking out when Judas Priest came on stage.
Nah, they knew Priest more than Madonna. Priest was H U G E at the time.
Madonna was pretty unknown those days.
Them were on Saturday & this here Sunday
@@PinkFloydBootlegs idk man madonna already had a number one single
Madonna was huge in 85
I don't usually like live music but he's such a vocal talent I'll make an exception with this band. Most bands can't pull it off but most don't have a one in a billion talent
What a lineup this band had in 1985 !! Outstanding !!
This is why he’s the METAL GOD! 🤘
Omg how great they play. It's like they are in the studio
Yeah they were so tight all always on cue
The destroyed at Live Aid. World stage. Green Manalishi is epic. This band rules. So lucky to have seen them live several times. One of the best if not the best metal.
THE PRIEST IS THE METAL 🤘
Robs voice is still as good as 35 years ago🙏
Sir Rob Halford, THE VOICE.
Philadelphia crowd loved some Priest.
I saw Judas Priest Live at Wacken 2018 and I´ll see them at Wacken 2020 again... Rob Halford is a legend
Wow, wish I was there, must have been an awesome experience, people appear to be respectful and well behaved, couldn't put on a concert like that today.😞
Not only is this The Priest at their very kick arse best, but, it's now a historical document of sorts, just as the Woodstock footage was to the '70s, for such mass gatherings may never occur again. We can comfort ourselves with The Priest flying high in their leather and sweat.
Saw this tour which was Screaming V….
Great pipes on that pipe fitter :)
A testament to any band is when they can play this good live!! Judas the best of the best👌🎶🎧
Sound guy: “Sound check? I don’t need to do no stinkin’ sound check!”
I enjoy the others comments especially someone who commented that they want the 70s and 80s back me too bro but thanks to all who liked my comment just have to double check my spelling one more thing heavy metal rules and rock and roll will never die can I get an amen as well as hell yeah
To be fair, the singer is strolling around every corner of the stage, with a wireless mic. Not the best conditions to avoid feedback.
@@backslash68 Is not a Rob Halford mic feedback, they forgot some open mic on the stage.
Glenn & kk..the worlds greatest guitarists! Miss the 80's so much. Was 20 years old 85 and everything was good..
How can anyone not Love this. I Love Judas Priest & this song. 👍👍👍
They played Live Aid!? Wish they were in the UK. Imagine Rob and Freddie Mercury on the stage. It would have been sheer brilliance
Bowie, Mercury, Halford, Collins, John, The Who, McCartney. London would be packed.
JP: "How many songs do we get to play?"
Live Aid: "3"
JP: "8 full Marshall stacks and double bass cabs should be enough".
Lol
I remember driving my motorbike with a Group of friends to bike rallies here around Ireland & when we would arrive we used just drink beer and have a good time listening to this band mostly as I kept requesting them to be played from the DJ 🤣 good times and the good old days with no worries. Long live Metal🔥
Long live metal!
Priest and Rob absolutely killed it that day!
No doubt. I watch The Green Manalishi from this show Every night after work with an ice cold German DAB beer.
Glasgow Green should be the first venue for a huge weekend concert of rock and roll 👌 😎 fuck transmit oot the park. Please let the council know of our feelings 🙏
What a handsome man.
The technology wasn't what it is today. No way close. But what this video does do... it captures the essence of the concert. The sweaty hot crowd, the performance, and the energy... OH THE ENERGY that day and night it was amazing! Yes, I was one of those people jammed in there, and will never forget it. This video is perfect for the memories of a 1985 concert.
Feedback
Dave Holland amazing!!🤘
Got to see them live last night omg Rob Halford omg I got to see a living legend. That’s still shocking to me. It was amazing. Was singing this song on my way home
Such a nice performance, the singer’s voice is so lively
Rob Halford
I know
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!!!
*Speaking of Live Aid this was the first time most of the world got to see them live unless you were a fan and saw them in concert. I remember it was early that Saturday like around 10 or 11am when they came on and on MTV they said after the set "Wow, it is hot out there and they all had on leather and played a hot set, don't know how they did it". One thing is for sure if you had not quite woke up yet, you were awake by the time they finished as the world had never heard a man scream like that before.
Rock On!!!🎸
Total pros!!! Playing on with all that squeal.
What entertainer!!! Best metal frontman ever!!!
Great times best concerts,hell we're old and still here 💪2024!!
Words to live by......great song
K k downing is awesome I miss him.in band
very gay kk
I started listening to Judas Priest after watching this show and I still listen to them
Always will say it my favorite band.
The second song every young guitarist learns right after Smoke pn the Water...
Great video with powerful music. The band looks awesome in their heyday.
I was there that day, at age 17, we were pretty big Priest fans, but all the acts were pretty damn good. Even Madonna.
I sat & watched Live Aid all day.What a performance.Even the crowd control guy in yellow @ 0:32 is Rockin’..what a day..
Best Concert that I've ever been to.Judas Priest were Awesome. They performed early in the morning.Very Hot out that day.🔥🌞🌡🎸🎤🥁
UM DOS REIS DO *HEAVY METAL* LONGA VIDA JUDAS.
Judas made heavy metal mainstream .Great live band tooo 🤘🤘🤘🤘
What a time to be alive. Wish I could've been part of it!.
Amazing Voice!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks to Queen's Performance at Wembley, not only do we forget that Live aid was international, But that Judas Priest, the metal god's, themselves were involved. That's no surprise tho. It's fucking Queen 🤘
well, Queen did stole the show with their performance, which i guess we can agree was the best performance ever recorded!
Halford the metal god vs Freddie the rock god
@@ezequiels.1028 U2 doing Bad wasnt too shabby
What in the world is your comment about? What are you trying to say except that Queen is a good band?
well we also forgot Phil Collins was at both shows in London and Philly on the same flipping day
Long live metal, Judas Priest, my favorite band
Thanks for the feedback. We'll take it into consideration.
Love this performance!
I was 15 when this happened but not until right now was I aware these guys played on the day.
I had to record it all on VHS as i was filming a mate performing at a body building contest in Swansea.
Freddie and ROB best frontmans by far
Best show of the Live Aid.
