Totally agree with you, everywhere i turn there's people putting him down and saying he sucks, i'm like what the hell,Holland kicked ass, Holland was totally the best in my opinion!
What's cool about this vid is being able to watch Dave Holland on drums. I don't care about his "dark" past or what people say, but Holland was an enormous asset to Priest and their success. He brought their sound to a whole new level and his straight forward beats are as solid as a rock.
Dave Holland IS the best drummer for priest, period. Sure Les was brilliant and right for the time, Travis screwed up their hard driving sound, Holland was the straight forward locomotive they needed for their songs. Until Turbo and Ram it Down came out where the song writing tanked hard.
What's cool about Dave is that his style is SO catered to the beat and keeping time that when he DOES fills they stand out. Very tasteful player. He also had an excellent drum SOUND.
100% ive always loved his drum sound as well! He was prob one of the only drummers ive seen in that genre who played concert toms as his main mounted toms, and his snare sound, so deep yet cut though
I am a huge Dave Holland fan too. The guy played heavy and his time keeping was perfect. These songs never sounded the same with Scott Travis, but then maybe Dave couldn't play "Painkiller" either LOL. Cheers.
I love it. There's a few better quality versions on here and there you can see Rob cracking the ever so faintest of smiles when he turns to KK and Glen.
This is, and will probably always be, my favorite concert of all time. It is just mind blowingly awesome. Priest coming back to Europe from touring the States and playing a show including the new kings Iron Maiden and Def Leppard, and they just nail it. Robs voice is a bit torn here, which just makes it even more intense. The energy, the swagger, the confidence. This is it kids. Watch and learn.
Die irren Screams von Halford erzeugen bei mir immer noch Gänsehaut. Wurde seinerzeit zum eingefleischten Priest-Fan. Bis dato. Kurz nach dem Gig erschien "Defenders of the Faith" - ein Hammer Album.
2:35 was like a controlled explosion. Quintessential Halford. I don't know if I have a form of synaesthesia but I almost see white hot gears and a burst of fiery sparks. Incredible voice, especially around this time.
@braincrisp1 Yeah...I agree with you...Dave Holland was perfect for Judas Priest..heavy metal is not Double Bass...i'ts a shame that most people don't understand this... for me Scott Travis have ruined Judas Priest....maybe he got more talent,but music first of all is about feeling...and Dave Holland had a great feeling...whit him Judas priest sounded a way lot better...sorry for my english...
This is the song that introduced me to Judas Priest, this version of this song is the first I have ever heard from Judas Priest. So I have a problem with Judas Priest, no song of theirs ever came close to this. Maybe Freewheel Burning of this concert and the Defeners of the Faith.
@ChristianU2ubeh " He had a lot of feeling. For mentally handicapped 17 year old boys"......I wasn't talking about his private life and all that bad things...my comment was about the music...and for Priest music Dave Holland was great! Scotto Travis can go to play wherever he wants...Judas Priest don't need double bass drums!Sorry for my english.
@cangaceiro80 Disagree totally! Holland might as well have set a drum machine up (as was done anyway on the RID album) as one dimensional as his drumming was! Binks used twin bass, feel and groove EXACTLY as it should have been and was Priests best drummer, he was a BEAST live. Holland also murdered old Priest epics!
That note Halford hits from 2:20-2:26 sounds like an air raid siren.
Good Lord....
Best metal vocalist ever.This vid is proof.
Fuck yes
Absolutely insane vocal ability. Just wow!!!
and Rob is 72 years old now!!! I am mid 50's and still get goose bumps on his high... insanely HIGH notes!!
@@fossilguybmf4210 70*, His birthday is August 25th, 1951
@@StaticYonder thanks for the info. I was going by an old interview and did the math in my head.
the best at thier best
i think the dave holland era was the best
Inmortal. Ever for ever and every day and infinity.
The "screaming demon's yell bursting through the clouds" at 2:35 seems so easy but in reality is practically impossible for anyone but Halford.
He never did it that good like on that night.
I did it once when my dog bit my balls
On this tour he nailed that part everytime, the US FESTIVAL show from May 83 was a great version too
@@rustykuntz94 in memphis too

Dave Holland kicked ass.

braincrisp1 I think that Scott Travis could be the only one to Les Binks and Dave Holland
His past was cleaned, all that injury to him was a lie, a boicot....

ya it very well could have been a set up but who knows the truth.
He's my favorite drummer they had for sure.

Except on Defenders album. Fluffy, echoey and soft. A stain that hasn't aged well on an otherwise stellar record
@@sabbathtribute I think much of Defenders was drum machines. The Defenders tracks sounded a lot beefier live.

That's one badass MTF. Halford looks pissed off. VIOLENT powerful screams. Every note is absolutely meticulous amazing & in contral. The Metal God.
This is metal history. It doesn't get any better than this. My god!
HOLY CRAP!!!! This version just melted my freaking face off!!!
Mr.Dave Holland THE BEST drums Judas Priest, ONLY 1,FANTASTIC, MAGNIFIC, PERFECT.R.I.P LOVE YOU FOREVER ❤️
2:07 best stage antics
I love it. There's a few better quality versions on here and there you can see Rob cracking the ever so faintest of smiles when he turns to KK and Glen.
Halford's peak live.. Saw them in Birmingham later in the year with quiet riot supporting
This is, and will probably always be, my favorite concert of all time. It is just mind blowingly awesome.

2:48
THE BEST!!!!!!!
These gentlemen are full of power and energy!
Insurmountable performance, no one can deliver the goods like Mr. Rob Halford does...
Amazing performance ...
What can I Say....I was there, really
Die irren Screams von Halford erzeugen bei mir immer noch Gänsehaut. Wurde seinerzeit zum eingefleischten Priest-Fan. Bis dato. Kurz nach dem Gig erschien "Defenders of the Faith" - ein Hammer Album.
Hard to find people who know good drumming when they see it, Dave Holland was the best Man!
Agree 200%
Golden years heavy metal
2:35 was like a controlled explosion. Quintessential Halford. I don't know if I have a form of synaesthesia but I almost see white hot gears and a burst of fiery sparks. Incredible voice, especially around this time.
@ 2:05 metal as fuck!!
If anyone doubts who the greatest metal singer of all time is check this performance out 🤘. Even Dickenson can’t sing that high.
really is the best metal band!
Halford in action!!!!
Best Version of the song
@ChristianU2ubeh I agree. A rock solid player. 1:38-1:40 is pretty interesting! Nice little flurry.
Judas Priest the #1 heavy metal band secula seculorum
Best thing ever!!! 2:08-2:09!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sweeps the board...
k buenos
NOBODY HAS MORE DESPICE THAN ROB HALFORD AS A SINGER. ESPECIALLY IN HIS GESTURES!
Despice?
This was my 1st Priest album/experience in '86 and i never looked back! JUDAS PRIEST RULES!!!!!!
how many likes!!!!!!!!!!!millions!!!!!!!!!!!!
Es el puto amo... K vooooozzzz .........es único es dios.🤘🤘🤘
one of the best priest's song \m/!
2:35 What time it is?! It's Halford time!
Watching/listening to this while storm Eunice is battering the UK. Work has never been more interesting
yo tengo este concierto en cassete
This is on fire 🔥🔥
Fuckin best version
KK had a great stage presence
In their PRIME!
I agree with you man!
Riding... ON THE WIND 2:08 OMG

@robertgoul
Agreed. Holland's style was a great fit for Priest. Too bad he had those "problems" with that boy.
son los padres del heavy metal
Tight.
1:08
Legen...dary! \m/
i think in same vibe scott did the drum intro for painkiller
ABSOLUTE DESPICE BY HALFORD. IT CAN'T GET BETTER THAN THIS.
Look what he did from 1:08-1:17
really what more is there to say?!
Π-Ρ-Ι-Σ-Τ-Α-Ρ-Α
FUAAAARKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
This album made me deaf.
Or at least four fifths deaf.
Deafish.
Haha i totally agree with you. He sounded perfect on the earlier stuff, but when they got to painkiller, Thats when scott was needed!
@eddieroot He left the band before the problems
Is there a better performance of that song? If you find one, please give me a respond :-)
This is the song that introduced me to Judas Priest, this version of this song is the first I have ever heard from Judas Priest.
So I have a problem with Judas Priest, no song of theirs ever came close to this.
Maybe Freewheel Burning of this concert and the Defeners of the Faith.
@JACKSONAXER Yeap Halford 183 cm and Udo 169 cm .-)

Lol until he got put in Jail for attempted rape of a 17 year old drum student.....
Not only Kings of the modern metal sound but a screamer metal band before there was such a thing.........
awesome
