My first Priest album I got in 82 and I still jam to it to this day. And I was lucky to see them on there Defenders of the faith tour one of the best concert I've ever been to and I was lucky to catch one of KK Downing's guitar picks he threw out to the crowd.

Totally different then British steel & Point of Entry…

Screaming for Vengeance is easily my favorite Priest and favorite metal album of all time. There is something extremely special about this album. Lots of amazing memories associated with this album. Screaming for Vengeance!!!

Hey Tom. Yeah great album. Like you , I have some great memories as well with those songs .. I was still a teenager when it came out ..at that point I was buying Priest albums as they were coming out .. I heard Unleashed first , then I went backwards.. British Steel wasn’t out yet … so from Steel on I was buying… all those albums have a special place with me…🤘

I saw Priest on the Vengeance tour, too, at City Island in Harrisburg, PA. Iron Maiden opened. I didn’t even know who Maiden was at that point. But when they broke into the chorus of Run To The Hills, I got such rush. I new they were going to be big. And Priest, of course, was fantastic. Just like you described.

Wasnt aware of the double disc cd with the live show , will definitely have to pick it up! One last thing, youve got fantastic taste in music. Absolutely love the albums showing in the background.
