I saw this tour in Charlotte, and a few days later in Johnson City and you're right, they were at the top of their game and they made it look easy. We couldn't believe what we were witnessing. General admission had just come back after the Who tragedy in '79, and we ran our asses off to get in the front row. Dave was throwing broken drum sticks so far over our heads we couldn't reach them. The one thing you don't get from a video like this is just how loud it was. The kick drum would nearly knock the wind out of you, and every guitar riff shook the entire building. It's honestly hard to describe. The lasers were amazing too, we had never seen anything like that back then.

Putting "British Steel" and "underrated" in the same sentence is just... Weird... It doesn't fit). -The entire Sad Wings of Destiny album.

My goodness what a pocket between Dave Holland and Ian Hill. And KK’s solo is wicked on this song in changes the hold mood of the song. And what more can I say about the metal god

Halford's voice in there is owning. He began singing with more grit in his chest because he wanted to be in the same sonic range as the guitar. He said that helped him bring out his vocals more. Ingenious idea.

I think at this time he can switch from grit to clean. Partying made his voice actually thinner and sharper (some recordings in 82 and 84) also it depends how many shows he'd gave the days before this (if you do this daily at this intensity it will hurt your voice).

The best metal concert ever. By far. Nothing even close.

I saw this tour in Seattle, 16 years old, on the floor front and center 25 feet from the stage. Not a pit but definitely a wild metal audience and Priest was amazing, no words Thankfully I can still remember most of it clearly.. That was only my second concert after AC/DC a couple months earlier, same Coliseum and same spot on the floor, stuck again and loving it. What a 2-punch baptism into the world of heavy rock and metal concerts. Got to see AC/DC 3 more times and Priest 4 more times, all in the 80's at their peaks, except for Priest in 2005.

I remember buying this album when it came out (when I was a young strapping lad - (it's still in my top 5 albums BTW)) and thinking at the time there is NO F***ING WAY Rob is ever going to sing this live. Then I saw the live tour and DAMN!!!! RH is indeed a legend!!!!!

The rest of the band matched Rob's voice, or probably more accurately, drew it out. It is easy to forget the others in the band, but you can listen to just the music (without voice) in these songs, and it is epic.

That chorus riff kicks MAJOR ASS

This band... I listened to these records growing up, it was my refuge, I was free and blown away. My first was British Steel, then Unleashed in the East, then Killing machine, then Screaming...

Great "gravel", great fry, operatic tenor, top five best screams ever, equals the rock god that is Halford

Both Live Vengeance and Beast over Hammersmith are exceptional live recordings unfortunately never released as full live albums but only on Video. I think B.O.H was released as part of a box set I think.

Halford at his best. This is why he's the best metal singer hands down.

The Band Judas Priest was and still is so damn good- grew up up on em....

I love the energy of this song, the Toms throughout the verses. The call and shouts! 🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾

I saw Priest on this tour about a month before this show in Memphis. I still think this was their greatest tour, and I've seen them numerous times over the years. I'm looking forward to seeing K.K's Priest in the future. It's a shame he's not with the band any longer.

Wow. Halford is up there with Caruso and Pavarotti.

pure metal voice of all time... nothing compare 70s 80s 90s omg

Priest is now tuned to Eb. Ever since Rob returned in 2004 , in order for him to continue to hit the high notes in the songs, the guitars are now down tuned. This song is in std 440 tuning but listto it played on the Nostradamus ( or was.it Firepower, can't remember cause I have seen them so many times and went backstage to meet them) the guitars are lower in the later recordings.

15 in 1982....I went to this tour Dallas convention center. Remember Rob coming out on his Harley & the whole place shook. One of the best bands live.
