Totally agree. This live performance is a masterpiece.

Rob Halford in "Confess" quoting for that live: "I was going on British telly for the first time and I didn't have a clue what to wear. So, I rummaged through Sue's clothes (his sister) and borrowed a pleated pink blouse with a belt, which I wore with a pair of spangly black flares. I looked like Jim Morrison on a budget. We didn't coordinate our look. Ken wore a vivid paisley shirt that Carol had made him, with tight flared loon pants and a white fedora. Ian was all in white, like an emaciated Jesus. We looked like three bands in one: a tin of heavy metal Quality Street".

@@TheJTcreate Sabbath was old school plodding doomy blues rock. Priest kicked up the tempo, downplayed the bluesy elements, added the "gallop" riffs, and mixed in the progressive elements (among other things). In other words, as others have said, gave birth to modern metal years before Iron Maiden etc.... The Beatles used some of the same riffs as the the old school artists of the 50's. Using riff similarities to brush off Priest's total reinvention of the style is as silly as dismissing the Bealtes innovation and reinvention on the basis of their sound sharing similarities with their predecessors.

I'm not denying that Priest didn't have a major influence on what was to come, but MANY bands from the early/mid 70's (early 70's Pentagram, early Trapeze, early Rush, early Kiss (Parasite and Watchin' You from 1974), early Queen, mid-70's Rainbow, early Scorpions, set the groundwork for Priest to use as a launching pad.

The interesting thing about priest is the way they changed throughout their career. Together with the change from a hard rock to heavy metal sound, they also altered their appearance, especially Halford, from this funky hippie look to the tough-guy image of the 80's: leather, goatee, motorcycles, and all the rest. I became familiar with Priest from the mad speed metal of Painkiller, but I must admit they made some great hard rock in the 70's.

Theyw ere already Heavy Metal in the 70's some songs of sad wings of destiny are heavy metal and the album sin after sin was straight forward heavy metal (and in 78 they got the leather and spikes look).

Looking at history on a color TV screen

This is a massive classic of a band who break into the world, as one of the greatest of all time !!

The bass track here is awesome, Ian Hill is such an underrated player. Wasn't long after this they persuaded him to use a pick and his style simplified but this shows how good he could be.

Rob Halford in his prime was the greatest Heavy Metal singer of all time

When the final chapter in the book of rock vocalists is written Rob Halford will stand as Heavy Metal's number one. The strength and durability of his voice over the test of time truly makes him vocally unique. And his creative output over the years in all his various projects makes Rob Halford a giant in the pantheon of rock legends. Long live the metal God.

Rob in 70s. Bruce in 80s was untouchable.

Can't get over halfords voice man

So classic! I remember my parents aunt and uncle coming home from seeing them live back then! Long live priest!🔥✨

The most amazing part of this story is that 46 years later, he can still hit many of those notes, making him a very rare exception, as vocal quality goes! "And if we could grip and hold on to the note We would see our minds were free, oh they're free..." -Judas Priest/Dreamer Deceiver/1976 (yeah, self-fulfilling prophecy, right there!)

When I was growing up in the early 70s I listened to the likes of vocalists Ian Gillan and Robert Plant but then Judas Priest came along and Rob Halford just blew me away "what a voice" still a fan now. Sad Wings of destiny best Priest album for me

I always felt that this was Priest at their greatest. They simplified so much in the years that followed, and I know it brought them great success, but I love the mix of power and complexity in Sad Wings. It was so groundbreaking. You don't have 80s or 90s metal w/o this album. Stellar performance.

“ we shall stay forevvvver unh!!!!!!” Luvvvv it!!!!!!

Rob halford is a rock and roll genius. This video is remarkable. Priest you rock!

Rob Halford back in the day! Just the beginning! The man could sing his ass off! Still doing it now and better than most! My favorite vocalist of all time and definitely inspired most multi octave singers to follow. Not to mention he sings his high notes in the head voice and has rarely used Falsetto... Not sure how he pulls that off? I guess thats why they call him the Metal God!

This performance is timeless.

Nothing short of brilliance... And they were just getting started!! Love it, no effects just raw vocals... A true master of his art ❤️

Best priest - early priest, and this perfomance is brilliant

Surely one of the best examples of pure early metal ever performed. I’m old and have been a Priest fan from the beginning. Wouldn’t trade those years for any others.

that voice rules!!

Alex Svane Hugger - This performance was better live than what was recorded for the album in my opinion, especially Halford.

This band inspired almost every hard rock and metal band since the early 70's, and still is inspiring new bands every day. The idea that the worthless Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ignored them for so long, and then did not induct them with full honors as performers is a testament of how inconsequential the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is.

Worth remembering that bass player Ian Hill used to be a finger picker and as Priest got heavier he switched solely to the pick..

Why I have only found this now? F.F.S This is a fookin live masterpiece and needs to be put in a vault for future generations. It Blew me away.

Dreamer Deciever is truly a haunting song.👻

Holy guacamole! Hopping Halfords! Ballzmazing, to say the least. Beyond rock n roll vocalage! Perfect 70s, the best, guitar Rock. "We shall stay forever"! 👑💯🌟 Thanks for posting. Whoever scouted them out knew before the composition had concluded.

Guys, do you realize that not all people are ready to appreciate how virtuoso that is?

Another reminder of why I love this band and always will.

It just proves the hall of fame is a travesty. However it may be by design. The exclusion of many great deserving artists makes inclusion for others that much more valued, doesnt it?

The rock and roll Hall of Fame is good at destroying its own credibility with every passing year. The Pixies, Siouxie and the Banshees... if the most essential rock bands are not inducted, pfft then certainly not all the essential heavy rock bands, therefore let's just stop caring about it. To quote Alex Lifeson, Bla blah, bla bla blah...

Classic Heavy Metal! Halford and the whole band sounding great. Fine british metal!

This is if Judas Priest wrote Stairway to Heaven

This video almost blew my mind. It’s incredible what these guys were doing in 1975. True metal gods.
