Actually that award goes to the sinner version from Unleashed in the East. This was damn good, but unleashed in the East was by far the definitive version . The album itself would be there definitive live performance and to me the most memorable album to date.
Saw Priest in 84 on the DOF tour I was 13 and my Mom said I could only go if her and my Dad went We had tickets within 20 ft of the stage She once had a chance to see the Beatles in KC in 1964 or 1965 I can’t remember..her friend had an extra ticket but my grandfather wouldn’t let her go and she never got to see them She didn’t want me to have the same disappointment Still can remember KK on upper stage during this solo and Rob pointing at me and smiling as I was singing every word Thanks Mom you’re the best
That's a great story. My parents were more like "He gets good grades, has a job, and doesn't do drugs, so let him go to concerts". And that was fine by me. Funny story, my dad saw Ronnie James Dio being interviewed on ESPN (Ronnie was a sports fan, as was my dad, and ESPN was interviewing celebrity sports fans). I remember my dad being like "Wow! That guy has some voice!" My mom would often pull me aside and say "Here's 20 dollars. Have a good time and get yourself a t-shirt at the show!"
@Flat Earth Florida I completely agree... Judas Priest's contribution to metal is crucial... From Rob's incredible voice and screams, to a twin guitar sound that left a permanent mark on the metal sound.
an interesting if unintended comparison : Steve Morris and Ian Curtis were tight . Morris being the. perfect drummer for Joy Division & New Order , prob one of the most technically proficient drummers ever , yet often overlooked
Metal poetry. The changes - the bridges the solos - I cannot praise this song enough. It is a master piece and arguably the best metal song ever by the best metal band ever.
It's got a perfect progression and changes of mood - not a note wrong. I notice Iron Maiden also attempt this but I personally find their changes and bridges clunky sometimes , not seamless like this is
I find I often change as to my favourite - it depends on my mood. This is way JP are my favourite band as they have a mood and style to suit any taste at a given time. Others can get a bit like a one trick pony.
When you were meeting a friend of mine, we’re in San Francisco, and we took acid. Of course we got it off the heat.… We went and saw the scorpions in I think with candlestick Park.… And we got to sing with the lead singer and guitarist of the scorpions, the milk down to me and my friend amongst all the thousands of people that were there, because I think we were completely out of control and higher than anybody else there as long as I was concerned, I doubt that’s true.… But yeah, I got to sing with the scorpions in their guitarist. We were singing big city nights. They got right down there with us me and my friend it was amazing. I’ll never forget it it
Best guitar solo ever for me, done by Mr. KK Downing (album version especially). Pure emotions, pain and crying, savage and harmless, bluesy and celtic, nostalgic and spacey, psychodelic thing of beauty. Same level of such greats as David Gilmour, Jimmy Hendrix and Eddie Hazel.
@@kakolykia yeah but its matter of work too . Low tenor he was at the time . But in mid 80s , as talking voice he went baritonish ...look turbo interviews thats surprising . And it changed in early 2000
@@kakolykia he is actually baritone. because he is also able to sing C2 which a tenor couldnt do. C2-C6 (lowest note ever sung by halford was even a B1 which is bass category and highest was a G6 which sopranos would fear to do but that happened like 3 times so I am not sure to count it).
One of the best Priest songs ever. Just brilliant musical technicians. Those vocals are incredible. Rob Halford is hands down one of my favourite vocalists of all time.
Rob Halford--pre-operatic master. Most skillful, metal vocalist of all time. Even Luciano Pavarotti singled him out. Priest in their prime here; wish we could go back in time. KNOW Priest--KNOW VIRTUOSITY. NO PRIEST--NO VIRTUOSITY!!!
I saw this metal “beast” the first time in 1981 during the Point of Entry tour. Anyone who saw that show knew what was to come. These lads were just on another level and could not be denied.
My 1st concert was this same tour in Erie, PA. I was deaf for like a week afterwards. It was so killer! I was scarred for life. I'm still a 49 year old metal head.
@@rusticrune9801 I first saw them on their Defenders Tour, my ears were ringing for a few days afterward, i was standing, right next to the stage, left side, by the speakers
Brilliant song. The entire band working together as a single unit like a well oiled machine. Metal. KK with a Strat and Glenn with his "lucky" red leather trousers. Ian Hill & Dave Holland(RIP) - how tight a rhythm section were they? And then there's Rob.. There's no excitement in live music like this today..Nothing..
La Barone -- you're right -- there's no excitement in live music like this today -- not even Judas Priest, as Rob looks like he's distracted onstage these days and never looks at the audience, milling aimlessly from right to left. Very sad. His voice has also lost some of its majestic highs. Fuck old age.
@@jondunmore4268 : Correct. Agreed. Sorry for all you younger kids today. You guys are being sold fake Judas Priest nowadays. I wish you all would realise that. Firepower don't match up to the "classic" Priest material. Even though you younger kids think it's epic.
this song always gives me goosebumps, especially kk's solo. in my opinion kk and dave mustaine are by far the greatest shredders of all time and kk and Tipton are the best guitar duo's of all time
RIP Dave Holland. His stye and sound fit JP on this songs. Got the hell out of the way, but his groove added such a heaviness to these incredible songs, like a wall of metal.
I finally got to see Priest in 2009 and watching K.K. playing the main solo was the coolest thing I've ever witnessed at any concert I've been to. You don't get any more metal than this!
Megadeth is Thrash and still make great music i like both bands and have seen them both 6 times or so now, but jp with the new line up not that impressive...Andy Sneed sucks
@Louis Reyna : I didn't forget. But on that tour Priest were still climbing, gaining fans. Hence not technically their "Peak". If you wanna narrow it down, I could say 1984 was Priest's peak. With Defenders. From their it was a slow decline starting with Turbo. And then Rob left in 92. Ending Priest as us 80,s people knew them to be. But then Priest re-invents themselves. But it would never be the same as the years leading up to and including 1984 Defenders tour. My opinion as a life long fan since 1977. Thankyou.
I’ve been to maybe a hundred or more rock shows throughout my life and I can attest that no one delivers like KK Downing! Watching him play live was mind blowing.
This is one of the best of best Judas Priest classics ever it is now 2021 and this hard rocking classic is still ahead of it's time KK Downing really threw a mean one to this one along with Rob's powerful voice one of the best Judas Priest classics ever
Um dos maiores live do metal sem dúvidas!!! Melhor puro heavy metal,mister KK.Downing possuído nos seus solos e Glenn tipton nas suas bases monstras de arrepiar... enfim pra mim a melhor e maior banda de todos os tempos!!!!! Judas Priest ontem,hoje e sempre ...
This was it , is it and their absolute peak is peaking here. The pace and vibe here is what they were and created. I can’t even look at them now , with everyone gone except Ian and Rob , it’s not even a shade of this.
People always ask me why I still listen to 80's music. All I have to do is show them any one of the video clips from this show and they get it. Priest was and always be one of my favorite bands!
Now I know that a whammy bar is more than just a metal stick on a guitar for effect. l am very impressed with Mr. K.K. Downing and his implementation of the whammy bar.🤘✌️🔥🛸🌠
Saw them on this exact tour with "IRON MAIDEN" ( NUMBER OF THE BEAST TOUR...LAST WITH CLIVE BURR, 1ST WITH BRUCE DICKINSON) ...@ THE BALTIMORE MD CIVIC ARENA...1982...KIK ASS SHOW!!!...3 ROW CENTER!!!
Was lucky enough to actually see this tour in 1982. Feel bad for kids now having to watch 35 year old concerts to get real metal. But it may be that Priest and Halford were 1 in a 100 year talent. I am starting to think so. Have not seen anyone in my life exceed or even match them yet.
Heavy Metal Rules Seen Priest in 2009. Still the best band I've been to see. The sound was so clear and Rob was on top form. I wasn't expecting much from them, they were touring with Testament and Megadeth, and I was there for latter mainly. Priest kicked their ass. The crowd was so excited by them. Hope they come back here on the Firepower tour.
I feel badly for them too. This is the sweet spot period. If they have to go back 35 years then so be it. The fact is, Priest today is nowhere near this performance. I was 22 when this tour was out. Look at KK's playing. He is a Metal God.
EJ W Yeah, this is hard to top. I love Maiden, Sabbath, AC/DC, the greats, and I wouldn’t want to do without any of them, but you can’t hear this and not consider Priest as good as anybody anywhere.
Seeing live performances like this is for flabbergastingly amazing! The level of dedication needed to achieve this level of precision is so uncommon in all but the finest shows. This is on a level up there with world class Opera, ballet, etc. Some of the finest performances seen in my lifetime. Maybe ever! Thank you JP!!!!!
I had this on vhs tape back in the day, the whole concert; taken from a show in Tennessee on the "Vegeance" tour in 1982. This song made me worship KK. As the Ripper did the same to me for Glenn.
I saw Priest for the 1st time Nov. 1, 1979 at the Triangle Theatre in Rochester, NY. I was with 2 of my buddies and we each took 2 hits of acid before the show. The venue allowed the audience to get right up to the stage so we wrestled our way up and stood right in front of K.K. Downing the whole show. During some of his solo's, K.K. came over to us and would kneel down and let us touch his guitar and whammy bar while he was playing the solo. Totally blew our minds! After the show as we were walking out my one buddy ran his hands through his hair(it was 1979 we all had long hair back then) and low and behold he found one of K.K.'s picks. Needless to say, it was a special night in our young lives. I've been hooked on the band ever since.
I remember that this show was on HBO back in the 80's. I had my father record it on Betamax. I was mesmerized by the whole show. I was 14 years old at that time. I wish I still had that tape even though I do have a DVD of the show.
I’m 74 next month and I still listen to Judas Priest. Greatest live band ever!!
Thats badass. I also plan to be jamming the Priest at 74.
"If you think you are too old to rock and roll, you probably are". Lemmy Kilmister~ 🤘 Always stay metal brother! I'm 54!
Metal gods! ~Brian
At 74 I hope I still remember my legs
Listening is one thing. Imagine being in your early 70's and being on tour doing this kind of music for decades.
I am 55 years old and I have been listening to Judas Priest since 1978. At the start of Covid, I got laid off and did nothing but martial arts, work out in my garage and listen to Judas Priest for six months. I advanced two belts in TKD and closing in on Black. I have shed over 60 lbs., and even now that I am work from home, I still manage to grind 2 hour workouts once I get my Judas Priest fix. Nothing gets me more fired up!
Dam it...that's inspiring!!
It gets my yard work done that's for sure! Fuck you arthritis!
Well done sir! That's what I hoped to do as well, but I joined with you and together we maintained "average".
Tom.....you definitely deserve an atta boyyyyyyy! Congratulations buddy
RAPID......
FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is easily one of the best recorded live performances in metal history.
You should also check out the 1988 version on UA-cam. Rob DOES NOT hold anything back and rips his vocal chords for us! All hail the metal gods!
ABSOLUTELY!!
No doubt
Actually that award goes to the sinner version from Unleashed in the East. This was damn good, but unleashed in the East was by far the definitive version . The album itself would be there definitive live performance and to me the most memorable album to date.
1988 is better. More powerful vocals@@leeham6230
KK just goes full Hendrix mode. AMAZING
Tipton is no slouch but KK crushes it here
Yes indeed. It's one of the few songs KK uses a Fender Stratocaster. WICKED!!😮❤
This solo got KK 20 blowjobs by 20 different girls that night
Totally Love Glenn, But KK Kills It Here
Hendrix has always been his favorite player
KK is so underrated in my opinion. Equally impressive as Glenn.
Possibly one of the most important solos in metal.
Love that description
I don’t understand it.
Saw them do this song twice, and both times the KK solo was the best ever
@@mcraft2240you don't? 😮
Along with his solo in Victim Of Changes 🤘🤘
Saw Priest in 84 on the DOF tour
I was 13 and my Mom said I could only go if her and my Dad went
We had tickets within 20 ft of the stage
She once had a chance to see the Beatles in KC in 1964 or 1965 I can’t remember..her friend had an extra ticket but my grandfather wouldn’t let her go and she never got to see them
She didn’t want me to have the same disappointment
Still can remember KK on upper stage during this solo and Rob pointing at me and smiling as I was singing every word
Thanks Mom you’re the best

One of the few bands that sound even better live.
Great live band one of the best for sure ,
all rock and roll sounds better live
They have to be seen and heard live, to know how brilliant they are.

@Flat Earth Florida I completely agree... Judas Priest's contribution to metal is crucial... From Rob's incredible voice and screams, to a twin guitar sound that left a permanent mark on the metal sound.
Never fails to give me chills. KK's solo is just sinister.
That solo is the pinnacle of electric guitar.
His tone is insane. There's no way those aren't custom-wound Duncans in that Strat.
@@picklesmcmillan217 I think they are either Dimarzio SDS-1 or FS-1

Yeah I find myself listening to this song more and more and appreciating it more and more!

It's got a perfect progression and changes of mood - not a note wrong. I notice Iron Maiden also attempt this but I personally find their changes and bridges clunky sometimes , not seamless like this is
Lately it's been my fave PRIEST tune; that along with "Better by you better than me," and Dreamer Deceiver.
I find I often change as to my favourite - it depends on my mood. This is way JP are my favourite band as they have a mood and style to suit any taste at a given time. Others can get a bit like a one trick pony.
The studio version is perfection....this live version does it complete justice!
Im 60 and still find Priest the perfect METAL BAND!!!!😊
😂 Yep, and I’m also a sucker for Motörhead and in general many bands more.
52 and rocking on. 🤘🤘
KK & his guitar are one soul! Beautiful! Judas Priest is pure adrenaline!
Glennis fills during the verses are pretty fucking good, too.

watch the 2013 (I think Grashop show) song. KK is possessed
Richard and Cindy Van Huizen he was retired in 2013..
oops correct the tour before
He killed it, smashed it, murdered it, KK was on another planet with it!
KK's solo is the most powerful one in the history of heavy-metal live performance!
I think someone forgot All Guns Blazing...
Hendrix influence indeed
They all look great there but Rib was a blond toxic version of the King there
@@elviraxenobia1902 what do you mean toxic?

What a mind blowing performance. K K Downings lead is unbelievable. Halford was in top form. Awesome video.

Great observation Nd comment. Spot on! KK!
All props to KK, but Tipton is the workhorse on this one.

Amazing KK solo he’s such a good guitarist as is Glenn they compliment each other so well
People always ask me why I still listen to 80's music. All I have to do is show them any one of the video clips from this show and they get it. Priest was and always be one of my favorite bands!
Saw them in 78 in Berdoo when I was in the force. Mesmerizing. Never forget.
This is one of the best Priest live performance ever. JUDAS PRIEST RULES 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
How can you have 2 great and excellent guitarists in 1 band ? Damn! To find 1 is already like a pin in a haystack.
What a performance!!!
Just power!!!
I've been a Priest fan since the early 80's and I'm in my 50's. This never gets old. It gets better. Long live the Priest.
We've heard these fellows since the 70's, no matter what you gotta hear a dose of Judas once in a while.
From a live concert standpoint this is Judas Priest at the top of their game. The 1982 tour was awesome.
Now I know that a whammy bar is more than just a metal stick on a guitar for effect. l am very impressed with Mr. K.K. Downing and his implementation of the whammy bar.🤘✌️🔥🛸🌠

Yeah I’m 60 and still listening to the priest saw them live two months ago in St. Louis Missouri. Great Joe I’ve been a fan since 77.
If there is a better live version of Sinner, I haven't ever seen it.
Mr. K.K. Downing puts a whole new spin on the saying "pulling my chain". He has all kinds of cool 😎 chains with him on this one.🤘
KK really shined live. In this performance he distorts all matter around him!
glenn, such a master
Ahead of his time for sure.

Heavy Metal Rules Seen Priest in 2009. Still the best band I've been to see. The sound was so clear and Rob was on top form. I wasn't expecting much from them, they were touring with Testament and Megadeth, and I was there for latter mainly. Priest kicked their ass. The crowd was so excited by them. Hope they come back here on the Firepower tour.
I feel badly for them too. This is the sweet spot period. If they have to go back 35 years then so be it. The fact is, Priest today is nowhere near this performance. I was 22 when this tour was out. Look at KK's playing. He is a Metal God.
I'm from 1999 and I don't mind watching 35 years ish old clips if they are amazing and that ome just is pure Priest magic!
Love it!
EJ W Yeah, this is hard to top. I love Maiden, Sabbath, AC/DC, the greats, and I wouldn’t want to do without any of them, but you can’t hear this and not consider Priest as good as anybody anywhere.
I just saw KK's Priest this past weekend; September 2024. KK Downing is still incredible live; he played an extended solo version of Sinner.
Seeing live performances like this is for flabbergastingly amazing! The level of dedication needed to achieve this level of precision is so uncommon in all but the finest shows. This is on a level up there with world class Opera, ballet, etc. Some of the finest performances seen in my lifetime. Maybe ever! Thank you JP!!!!!
The greatest heavy metal live performance of all time!
Thank the powers that be that this show was captured on film ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I had this on vhs tape back in the day, the whole concert; taken from a show in Tennessee on the "Vegeance" tour in 1982. This song made me worship KK. As the Ripper did the same to me for Glenn.
Metal Gods! Period!
Totally!
Such a great version of this song. They KILLED IT!
I saw Priest for the 1st time Nov. 1, 1979 at the Triangle Theatre in Rochester, NY. I was with 2 of my buddies and we each took 2 hits of acid before the show. The venue allowed the audience to get right up to the stage so we wrestled our way up and stood right in front of K.K. Downing the whole show. During some of his solo's, K.K. came over to us and would kneel down and let us touch his guitar and whammy bar while he was playing the solo. Totally blew our minds!
After the show as we were walking out my one buddy ran his hands through his hair(it was 1979 we all had long hair back then) and low and behold he found one of K.K.'s picks.
Needless to say, it was a special night in our young lives. I've been hooked on the band ever since.
Wow, in 82 I was working on my first trip to drug and alcohol rehab. Sober many years now and enjoy the music and performance of JP more than ever.
Just can't get over the precision of this entire band! I'm a musician never seen it equaled anywhere else. Rob is out of his mind GREAT!!
I remember that this show was on HBO back in the 80's. I had my father record it on Betamax. I was mesmerized by the whole show. I was 14 years old at that time. I wish I still had that tape even though I do have a DVD of the show.
Prime priest.
Halford incredible.
Band also on top their game
PS.
Listening to KK solo i hear a future Influence on Slayer.
KK Downing is fucking awesome...and the rest too...this is so good
