I attended an Alice Cooper charity concert and got to go backstage and meet Alice. As I was shaking his hand, Rob walked up and Alice said, "Rob, meet my good friend Connie". Both men were very humble and gracious. It was one of those times when an artist you have followed and supported for many years lives up to your expectations.
My father died in 2023 and this was his favorite band and one of his favorites songs! I like to listen to them, and love the band now because it comforts me through the time. I miss him so much❤️
well.. both yes and no :P yes: the will always make good songs and still delivere when needed. no: rob can`t sing like he did 30 years ago. why need no epxlanation haha! but when taking his age into consideration, he has got a REALLY good voice!! there aren`t many like him !
I first heard this when I was a 10-year old boy (unleashed in the east) and was gobsmacked! I'm now listening to the same song at the end of my life and I realize it is still the same person singing it i.e. Rob Halford. Makes me realize how short and precious life is.
im 25 but im sure i will never forget this song or stop listening to it from time to time. Music comes and goes but songs like this will remain in your memory for a long time, sometimes forever
His voice is unbelievable. Gay or not this guy can fucking sing. Funny how people come and talk trash , yet they are watching this video. Rob is one if the most biggest contributions to metal , that simple.
I can't tell you how many time's I've watched this video... At times, it's moved me to tears...! The drum kit sounds PERFECT!! 5 STARS! Thank you for posting this! 🤘🤘
I listened to this song originally and repeatedly as a teenager ...and now this beautiful rendition of this song so many years later....what a journey....long, difficult, but beautiful...so happy I was able to hear both renditions of this timeless classic both with young and now, old ears.
¡Qué canción para hacerme sentir en otro mundo! Esa pasión!!! Tuve la dicha de escucharlos en Costa Rica. Gracias Judas por tantísimo aporte a la MÚSICA!

Да, эта самая лучшая версия Роба, он сюда вложил своё сердце и выказал свой величайший, на высоких тонах, голос. Они соединили в этом кавере красоту любви(которую Джоана Баез испытывала к Бобу Дилану и выразила в этом стихе), Хеви метала и таланта, как голоса Роба, так и всей величайшей группы
Diamonds and Rust Joan Baez Well, I'll be damned Here comes your ghost again But that's not unusual It's just that the moon is full And you happened to call And here I sit Hand on the telephone Hearing a voice I'd known A couple of light years ago Heading straight for a fall As I remember your eyes Were bluer than robin's eggs My poetry was lousy you said Where are you calling from? A booth in the midwest Ten years ago I bought you some cufflinks You brought me something We both know what memories can bring They bring diamonds and rust Well, you burst on the scene Already a legend The unwashed phenomenon The original vagabond You strayed into my arms And there you stayed Temporarily lost at sea The Madonna was yours for free Yes, the girl on the half-shell Could keep you unharmed Now I see you standing With brown leaves falling all around And snow in your hair Now you're smiling out the window Of that crummy hotel Over Washington Square Our breath comes out white clouds Mingles and hangs in the air Speaking strictly for me We both could have died then and there Now you're telling me You're not nostalgic Then give me another word for it You who are so good with words And at keeping things vague 'Cause I need some of that vagueness now It's all come back too clearly Yes, I loved you dearly And if you're offering me diamonds and rust I've already paid
this must be what heaven sounds like. Seriously, if you cannot hear the quality in this recording you dont love music truly... Magical... Deeply emotional. I wonder how can they even perform it live when i cant even listen to it without shedding a tear.. Some bands are big for a reason.
I first heard this gem in 1986 while stationed in what was then West Germany. Sitting on the Czech border on another cold dreary day and this song made it bearable. Just hearing it takes me back to a better time when we knew who and where our enemies were. I also like the original version .
In a countryside with a beer bottle in hand , sitting on my cruiser bike. The moon is shining bright . What esle do you need. Love from west bengal, India. 🤟🤟🤟
Beautiful melodic song. Incredible vocal range , and the guitars, bass and drums are epic! One of my all time favourite songs . Love playing this song, late at night, cruising up the Fraser Canyon Hwy in BC 🇨🇦.
Rob is always amazing. He takes this humble ballad and gives it immense character. Also, who else could make a performance powerful by simply pacing back and forth on the stage. Only Rob. Thank you sir for sharing your talent with the world.
Ok, have heard other versions of this song as well as the original by Joan Baez, and my opinion "will never" change this is by far the best version of this song! Holford has a unique voice, so does Ozzy, Joe Cocker,Janis Joplin, Johnny Cash, that make their songs very hard to beat and never duplicated.
@@starmc26 yes but not so much standard back in the day. Halford was the man back in the day & a major groundbreaker vocal wise. Probably the most inspiring metal vocals there will ever be. So many followed his example & set the stage....
Something that I will never let go,,it means a lot to me, Thank You Joan Baez and Judas Priest bringing out to the public,,1981 first time I heard this,,🤘🤟✌️👊

Judas Priest is like fine wine. They get better with age.. This version is “Top Shelf”… 🔥🔥
well.. both yes and no :P
yes: the will always make good songs and still delivere when needed.
no: rob can`t sing like he did 30 years ago. why need no epxlanation haha!
but when taking his age into consideration, he has got a REALLY good voice!! there aren`t many like him !
Very
I agree.
Согласен!
Gyönyörű!❤
This is the version people need to hear. This is beautiful to my ears.
I agree. I like the slow down from this compared to the original.
It’s so moving
Rob and the band could do this with any song in my opinion
I agree, Rob Halfords singing is brilliant.
Agreed 👍🏻
100% agree
Over 42 yrs. Ive been listening to these guys since I was 15
ROCK HARD RIDE FREE
:)
I’m with you brother
Wow! Me too. So you are 57 years old as well as I am? Rock on 🤘
Me too, since 1976! Great band great voice! Thank you for the music Judas! 🏴🇩🇪
I started listening when I was a teenager, and now I'm in my late 50s. I'm still enjoying their music.
This is my favorite version, the slowness brings a passion, an emotion, you can feel the pain that the faster version doesn't deliver. 💜
Rightfully said!
YES
2:55 - KK smiles and thinks: "Yes, we have the most versatile, acrobatic and best singer in the world."
❤agree
I get chills EVERY time the drums kick in!!!
I keep getting back to it!!
Same..❤

Me too, I had "Unleashed in the east" on vinyl.. From teenager to old man...
You are right🤩
@@chrispafrieddreams9118 me 3, had unleashed in the east on cassette
They should release this version, absolutely masterpiece 😊
One of the best songs ever done!
I love how Scott comes in the song with the drums! Amazing drummer, amazing song, amazing band! Priest for ever!
Привет из России
What a performance. Halford is amazing. I love this song and this version is absolutely brilliant!
Love it forever as well .❤
Beautiful.♥️♥️
Best version🎵
Pra mim, essa é a melhor performance ao vivo de um cantor de metal na história.
Judas Priest showed unlimited respect to the original song and we all enjoy this masterpiece!
Best ever version! Some day we'll meet again brother, RIP!
His voice is unbelievable. Gay or not this guy can fucking sing. Funny how people come and talk trash , yet they are watching this video. Rob is one if the most biggest contributions to metal , that simple.
Even for 14 years ago this is a bizarre comment. Whoever thought one's sexual orientation affects one's ability to sing?
Rob and Bruce are both by far my two favorite singers
@VielFart most of us knew he was way before he "came out of the closet", it made no difference, great music is great music
@@samhamitch5504 That was also my point.
The greatest voice in metal ever. Respect Rob.
I can't tell you how many time's I've watched this video... At times, it's moved me to tears...! The drum kit sounds PERFECT!! 5 STARS! Thank you for posting this! 🤘🤘
You should hear that drum pop at 124db through 54 drivers
I'm drunk now and love how this song sounds
My sentiments 💯 exactly!!
I've been coming back to this video every year or two for well over a decade now, experiencing the exact same thing! Here I am again! Never get old!
@@doncunningham3124 Amen brother...Amen.
An absolute brilliant cover for Joan Baez's masterpiece
bob dylan music
Written by Joan Baez about her relationship with Bob Dylan
Indeed!
That's the most beautiful version of "Diamonds and Rust" by Judas Priest.
Halford has a great voice in this song!!
And he's singing full of emotions!!Very well!
What an awesome version... unleashed in the east is a true classic for a live album. I had the privilege to see them live.
My hair stands on end every time I listen to it. Love it. One of the best rock ballads of all time. Finger up. Hands up! Diamonds and Rust.
This version goes to the belly, Joan's goes to the heart!!
Жаль у меня нет волос, мне 63, но я каждый раз куда-то улетаю, слушая эту песню
Best version ever ❤… fantastic.
those 45 seconds is the best of metal no doubt
I listened to this song originally and repeatedly as a teenager ...and now this beautiful rendition of this song so many years later....what a journey....long, difficult, but beautiful...so happy I was able to hear both renditions of this timeless classic both with young and now, old ears.
Absolutely love this version!
A timeless classic performed masterfully by the Priest!
Es tan profundo este temazo una verdadera obra de arte y más aún con la voz única de Rob Halford

Powerful voice + great guitars sound...LOVE JUDUS PRIEST
One of their best. Rob has always sang with so much passion. Here... No exception. But.. if your offering me diamonds and rust I've Already Paid.
By far the best version

По сравнению с другими ..., короче - они отдыхают.
Вообще-то не любил перепевки шедевры,но здесь обалденно,я думаю Джоан Баез довольна
Best version of the song!
The Best use Joan Báez versión.
The queen of USA folk music....and the powerfull JP....OVER THE TOP !!!
NO COMMENT....

So much heart and soul in this version, I wonder whom he lost… beautiful!
Que voz espectacular tiene Rob Halford,es impresionante
Diamonds and Rust
Joan Baez
Well, I'll be damned
Here comes your ghost again
But that's not unusual
It's just that the moon is full
And you happened to call
And here I sit
Hand on the telephone
Hearing a voice I'd known
A couple of light years ago
Heading straight for a fall
As I remember your eyes
Were bluer than robin's eggs
My poetry was lousy you said
Where are you calling from?
A booth in the midwest
Ten years ago
I bought you some cufflinks
You brought me something
We both know what memories can bring
They bring diamonds and rust
Well, you burst on the scene
Already a legend
The unwashed phenomenon
The original vagabond
You strayed into my arms
And there you stayed
Temporarily lost at sea
The Madonna was yours for free
Yes, the girl on the half-shell
Could keep you unharmed
Now I see you standing
With brown leaves falling all around
And snow in your hair
Now you're smiling out the window
Of that crummy hotel
Over Washington Square
Our breath comes out white clouds
Mingles and hangs in the air
Speaking strictly for me
We both could have died then and there
Now you're telling me
You're not nostalgic
Then give me another word for it
You who are so good with words
And at keeping things vague
'Cause I need some of that vagueness now
It's all come back too clearly
Yes, I loved you dearly
And if you're offering me diamonds and rust
I've already paid
THANKS.. SO MUCH 🎶🙏🙏🎈🎈
@@chantalberthaud9695 why are you thanking him? The lyrics is on google you know!
Truly amazing how this band grew and grew as musicians and Rob as a singer, with each album, 🤘🏼💀🤘🏼

Proste metalová legenda prežitý spev sú to profíci z veľkým srdcom . Love it.
Great version of this amazing song! Go Judas Go Go. Halfords voice is fantatic!!
Beautiful! Excellent cover, touching performance of the song.
One of the best covers of all time, I think.
Hail to the priest!

Magical... Deeply emotional. I wonder how can they even perform it live when i cant even listen to it without shedding a tear..

what is the original song?
@@abrilcifuentes1274 It was originally done by Joan Baez.
Rob really put on a beautiful performance here. His voice has held up so well over the years.
Que versión maravillosa, me dan fuerzas para luchar
Probablement le meilleur vocal de tout l'histoire du rock pour passer l'émotion dans un chef d'oeuvre musicale
Pas un fan de Judas Priest mais ce morceau est formidable !
Absolutely Beautiful Rob,KK, Glenn, and the rest of the boy's thank you for the gift!!
Best ever version

Tears stream down my face whenever I listen to this version...
The greatest heavy metal band that ever lived.
This Song brings me back to GOOD memories.... Good times and Good Friends, with the Most Epic Crew.
Már 70+-os vagyok, de ezek a fiúk a zenéjükkel visszahozzák a fiatalságomat....a mai napig imádom őket.
This brings me back to 84 seeing them live I was going to bring m daughter then covid jot. She loves priest & metal from my time. 🤘🏼🎤
Fuck, Halford is amazing. Long live the Metal God.
One of the greatest songs ever recorded.
Just can't get enough listening to this cover! Best version ever!
That is awesome that he also is a priest head. My condolences for loss of your father. May he continue to keep rocking
Amazing. I have listened to this song over and over. Love Robs voice on this! 🤘
This is the best version ever ❗😎
Been watching a-lot of videos lately. Few have given me light chills. This one got bumps on my goose bumps!

Not such a "humble" ballad. One of the very best.
@@VielFart Allow me to clarify. I was referring to the original Joan Baez version of the ballad.
@@PaddyPaddy-sx9sf Thank you. Yes I know you were. My point was that Baez's composition is not humble.

Epic.

Had to listen several times before I could get through it without crying 🥺😒💔 I love you dearly.....
I love it... 4 guitars and 2 guitarists.
Yeah…crazy shit!
one of the best songs live, ever .what a great song .
La mejor versión de Diamond and Rust!
La de Joan Baez es diferente, pero también está muy bien
Such a strong voice. And talented band!!
Perhaps underrated. Such a solid, professional band. Serious musicians.
a talented band !!!
did you hear judas priest for the first time 1 year ago ? talented band !!
they`re in their own divison !

Just beautiful
No words! Just feel! Listen!!
Joan Baez is proud of this one.....
So beautiful... I am lost for words
love this version badass
geilste Version!!!
Omg this song and this vocal thé best for me
The best ever! Fell In Love With Metal With JP
As good as it gets... Any singers out there notice how Rob moves the microphone away when he's pushing the vocals. The King that knows his voice!
It's called mic-control. Should be Lesson 101 in every singers handbook. Sadly it isn't...
I agree, his mic control is excellent.
Yes! You got it Steven!
Pretty standard
@@starmc26 yes but not so much standard back in the day. Halford was the man back in the day & a major groundbreaker vocal wise. Probably the most inspiring metal vocals there will ever be. So many followed his example & set the stage....
Something that I will never let go,,it means a lot to me,
Thank You Joan Baez and Judas Priest bringing out to the public,,1981 first time I heard this,,🤘🤟✌️👊
This song I listened when I felt in love!!! Always I remind this moment with this song! It was so romantic!
