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❤️

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.

This is the version people need to hear. This is beautiful to my ears.

Judas Priest is like fine wine. They get better with age.. This version is “Top Shelf”… 🔥🔥

Over 42 yrs. Ive been listening to these guys since I was 15 ROCK HARD RIDE FREE

Judas Priest showed unlimited respect to the original song and we all enjoy this masterpiece!

This is my favorite version, the slowness brings a passion, an emotion, you can feel the pain that the faster version doesn't deliver. 💜

An absolute brilliant cover for Joan Baez's masterpiece

2:55 - KK smiles and think: "Yes, we have the most versatile, acrobatic and best singer in the world."

One of the best songs ever done!

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 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.

That's the most beautiful version of "Diamonds and Rust" by Judas Priest.

I get chills EVERY time the drums kick in!!!

What a performance. Halford is amazing. I love this song and this version is absolutely brilliant!

Best ever version! Some day we'll meet again brother, RIP!

Rob have one of the best voices in the history of rock.

I love this version 😍❤️

Fuck, Halford is amazing. Long live the Metal God.

Pra mim, essa é a melhor performance ao vivo de um cantor de metal na história.

I love how Scott comes in the song with the drums! Amazing drummer, amazing song, amazing band! Priest for ever!

Who would have thought a extremely metal group, could, and would make such a beautiful song. This is up there for ballads

those 45 seconds is the best of metal no doubt

By far the best version

Que voz espectacular tiene Rob Halford,es impresionante

Best Version, Hands Down!!! Thanks

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. 🤘🏼🎤

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.

Powerful voice + great guitars sound...LOVE JUDUS PRIEST

Best version of the song!

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. 🤟🤟🤟

A timeless classic performed masterfully by the Priest!

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.

Omg this song and this vocal thé best for me

Goosebumps for this amazing version!

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.

Tears stream down my face whenever I listen to this version...

Truly amazing how this band grew and grew as musicians and Rob as a singer, with each album, 🤘🏼💀🤘🏼

Es tan profundo este temazo una verdadera obra de arte y más aún con la voz única de Rob Halford

The greatest heavy metal band that ever lived.

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

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.

The most powerful of all time

One of the greatest songs ever recorded.

Had to listen several times before I could get through it without crying 🥺😒💔 I love you dearly.....

I saw this version live and it was phenomenal!

So much heart and soul in this version, I wonder whom he lost… beautiful!

This is the best version ever ❗😎

This Song brings me back to GOOD memories.... Good times and Good Friends, with the Most Epic Crew.

I'll be damned, here comes your ghost again... 💔

Such an excellent version of this song!! 🤘🤘🎸🎸

Wonderful version!! Brought out his brilliant and strong voice 😍😍

Epic. Greets from Germany. 😎😎

We all grew up with all the bands.....live it....love it ...stay young ..never old.

I love it... 4 guitars and 2 guitarists.

⭐ Judas Legendary Priest ⭐

What a voice.......and hes a Queen fan..... 10/10 in my book !!!!

Just can't get enough listening to this cover! Best version ever!

3:17 ... goose bumps goose bumps goose bumps goose bumps

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

Brilliant version,from the DVD Rising in the East[Great DVD,which I have in my collection]🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟👌

I'll be damned, here comes your ghost again But that's not unusual It's just that the moon is full And you decided to call And here I sit, hand on the telephone Hearing the voice I'd known A couple of light years ago Headed straight for a fall But we both know what memories can bring They bring diamonds and rust Yes we both know what memories can bring They bring diamonds and rust Now I see you standing with brown leaves all around and snow in your hair Now we're smiling out the window of the crummy hotel over Washington Square Our breath comes in white clouds, mingles and hangs in the air Speaking strictly for me we both could've died then and there Now you're telling me you're not nostalgic Then give me another word for it You were 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 love you dearly And if you're offering me diamonds and rust, I've already paid But we both know what memories can bring They bring diamonds and rust Yes we both know what memories can bring They bring diamonds and rust Diamonds, diamonds and rust Diamonds, diamonds and rust Diamonds, diamonds and rust Diamonds, diamonds and rust

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 .

This is the best version of this song. Absolutely love it.

Que versión maravillosa, me dan fuerzas para luchar

Absolutely Beautiful Rob,KK, Glenn, and the rest of the boy's thank you for the gift!!

This song I listened when I felt in love!!! Always I remind this moment with this song! It was so romantic!

Masterpiece!!!

Metal of gods......once a metal always a metal....never dies.

Children of today.... This is musical talent.. Not auto tune like todays untalented musicians

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!

¡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!

I'm still amazed at how many people think this is a Judas Priest song.

¡Long live Judas Priest!

Proste metalová legenda prežitý spev sú to profíci z veľkým srdcom . Love it.

the greatest performance of all time!!!! απιστευτη ερμηνεια ανατριχιαζεις!!!! Judas Priest♥️Rob Halford

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 🇨🇦.

Респек! Россия с любовью и уважением! 🤟

Amazing. I have listened to this song over and over. Love Robs voice on this! 🤘

Brings tears to my eyes every single time.

First heard this on the exciter album live That album turned me into a metalhead at 15 yrs old I'm now 57 and still love this tune any version of any singer written and first performed by Joan Baez is about bob Dylon !!!!

Раньше не понимал такую музыку, слушал более тяжелое, мрачное сейчас наверно в силу возраста я начал понимать красоту песни.

Judas Priest needs to record this version but in-studio. This would sound beautiful on a vinyl single or LP.

Uauu Just beautiful No words! Just feel! Listen!!

Gracias Joan Baez por esta hermosa cancion de amor y dolor.

The best ever! Fell In Love With Metal With JP

Best ballad ever

Best version ever ❤… fantastic.

The best version . Takes me back to when I was 17.

So beautiful... I am lost for words

Rob Halford - best heavy metal singer ever.

His voice is out of this world...

You will always be my favourite singer Rob.

brilliant version

They should release this version, absolutely masterpiece 😊

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.

I really wish this version was on spotify :(

Just wow. Loved this song since tge 80's❤

Metal will never die! 🤘

Tears of love....
