3:05 Ram it down has one of the greatest solos in the history

The bass player hasn’t moved from that spot in 50 years.

Most high quality self recorded concert video of an 80's concert I've ever seen

Feel like this is the only time they performed anything from Ram It Down. I don’t get why they dismiss the album, I fricken love it cause it felt like Proto-Painkiller.

i cannot even imagine living during that time when "Painkiller" was still in future.

"Ram it down" has one of the greatest solos ever recorded. At times I put on the CD ONLY to listen to that solo. Little did I know Glenn played most of it, thought it would have been an even guitar duel.

Glen Tipton is fucking awesome

I love Dave Holladnd,....he is precise like rhythm-machine. I had never heard that he made any mistake. R.I.P.

Heavy metal is such an underrated song. That intro melts your face

3:49 The guitar solo was so metal that he became shiny

the solos here were as on the original cd. Damn these solos define what pure.Fucking heavy metal is

Damn, and this was when they still had Dave Holland in the band on drums, before Scott Travis! This song hauls ass live! Fucking awesome.

Mr Dave Holland THE BEST drums Judas Priest only 1 FOREVER. LOVE YOU ❤️

We need a dvd w. concerts from the 1981 'Point Of Entry' Tour, 1984 'Defenders of the Faith' tour, the 'Mercenearies of Metal/Ram it Down' tour of 1988, and Painkiller tour 1990/91. According to people that were on the New Haven show 1988(the FM broadcast bootleg), that show was also filmed. Cameras were seen all over the place.

I'm still waiting for a professionally recorded release of the Ram It Down tour (if it exists), maybe on a 30th anniversary release of RID, like they did with DotF. Some may argue with me, but I've listened to a lot of live Priest, and Halford's voice peaked in '88- after he stopped doing drugs and drinking, but before the ciggies started taking their toll.

2 of the best heavy metal songs of all time

That ending to Ram It Down was incredible. Everyone backed away from Rob as if they would go deaf if they stood too close, the crowd went completely nuts afterwards too. Rob literally stumbled afterwards because of that whole vocal section (or he just tripped on something, but I prefer to think of that ending as just soo magneficent, even he couldn't handle it.) Amazing performance all around.

JUDAS PRIEST AT THEIR VERY BEST... ALL HAIL THE METAL GODS!!!!!

Best solo works of maybe the whole JP catalog. This was such a good album.

Heavy Metal is one of the best Tracks ever spawned by JP. Killer solo by GT.

I love the way the band's logo is written on the floor of the stage! xD

This was the first metal song i heard!!! Eternal

Ram it down is an underrated Masterpiece.

Dave Holland back then on drums! Rob looked really yummie back then...he changed so much these days....

"SHOUT IT OUT WE ARE TOGETHER NOW!!" \M/

Wow !!! The two greatest lead guitar players of all times.

I like how the guy video taping anticipated the lyrics of the song and went to the bright lights right before Halford sang "Ten thousands lights come blazing down With razor sharp precision"

@UpTheSnakes There was however a few tracks on 'Ram It Down', where Holland was absent. Not because he couldn't play the drum parts, that is just nonesense, but because his father was ill at the time. After the tour in 1988, Holland left, as his father had just died, is what Downing said in an interview in 1990 or so. A drum machine was used when Holland was absent, such as on 'Blood Red Skies', 'Love Zone', 'Love You To Death and 'Monsters Of Rock'. The rest is Holland, and great drumming too.

Saugeil !! Ram it Down: Guitarbattle! That's Heavy Metal!! Thanks for posting :-)

Amazing video! Seeing this great performance and the crowd's response should give anyone the proof that all those "music critics" don't know what the hell they're talking about when they say Ram It Down is a weak album.

RAW IT DOWN el mejor solo de guitarra en la historia del Metal🤘🔥⚡🇬🇧

Priest kicked ass in the late 80s and the 90s.

Totalmente de acuerdo. Para mi es una pena que no grabaran ni LP, ni DVD con esta canción en directo. Este "solo de guitarra" es SENSACIONAL. ME ENCANTA EL SONIDO DE TIPTON. Saludos y gracias a PumpkinPriest por subir el video.

SICK a VHS bootleg!!! hidden cams and all that..they were huge cameras back then ...this was my first concert ever! I was 13 and was the NY show... and without "parental guidance" [lol] love this video and the balls it took to make.... and love this band!

I'm sad i wasn't around for the 80s...was born in 2002...WHYYYYY LORD?! This is real music not the shit I'm stuck growing up with now

Why they didn't release any official DVD of this era? WHY?

This was as flawless of a performance I’ve seen the Priest do on KZfaq. Thanks for uploading! \m/

That heavy metal intro 🤟

To me... this is one of the best songs of JP... and its solo is until now the best solo I've ever heard!!

WTAF!? not only is this one of the best most insane solos ever but this version is live and faster than the recorded version.. I searched for this live version expecting surely they can't nail that solo live but they totally nailed it, amazing guitarists.

Rob Halford will always be daddy af.

Greatest live ever

Tipton at the height of his powers.

Ram It Down is the best Glenn solo :)

The metal GODS!!!!!!

Awesome!

Masterpiece ever. Great

This must’ve been sick to witness live 🤘

Simplemente fantásticas canciones. Sobre todo Ram it Down y su solo.... Ojalá lo hubiesen grabado con calidad y en dvd en su día.

Oh my god that was epic how I wish priest still played this I really really liked the ram it down album always have but it's always overshadowed by its follow up painkiller.

Raise the sights, the city lights are calling We're hot tonight, the time is right, there's nitro in the air In the street is where we'll meet, we're warning On the beat, we won't retreat, beware Thousand of cars and a million guitars Screaming with power in the air We've found the place where the decibels race This army of rock will be there To ram it down, ram it down Straight through the heart of this town Ram it down, ram it down Razing the place to the ground Ram it down Bodies revvin' in leather heaven in wonder Lights are dimmin' and heads are swimmin' as thunder hits the stage Hell breaks loose, turn on the juice get stronger We metal maniacs begin to rave Thousand of cars and a million guitars Screaming with power in the air We've found the place where the decibels race This army of rock will be there To ram it down, ram it down Straight through the heart of this town Ram it down, ram it down Razing the place to the ground Ram it down Shout it out We're all together now Shout it out We join as one, one Thousand of cars and a million guitars Screaming with power in the air We've found the place where the decibels race This army of rock will be there To ram it down, ram it down Straight through the heart of this town Ram it down, ram it down Razing the place to the ground Ram it down, ram it down Straight through the heart of this town Ram it down, ram it down Razing the place to the, razing the place to the Razing the place to the ground

Great video!!! Thanks!!!

awesome!!

Totally Amazing!!

MASTERPIECE!

Love the raw footage. Thanks.

WOOOW THIS OP SOLO LOOOL

I think the prime of Halford's voice was around those years, I was 5 years old, Damn!!

❤❤thank you❤❤❤

I knew I saw them...lolol. TY for this post!

awesome!

well, they played Im A Rocker in the Reunited Tour and in epitaph they play Blood Red Skies, but i want ram it down, hard as iron and heavy metal

There are many guitar players that I Admire... and they have great songs and solos that chills the skin when I hear them... but this people.. Ram It Dawn... Has in my opinion one of the BEST FUCKING HEAVY METAL SOLO EVER... first time I heard it and I was so fucking sure that no way...I mean NO FUCKING WAY I would here something better than this!!! and even LIVE the solo sounds Beyond Amazing!!!

K.K Downing destroyed the crap out of that solo in the best possible way ever, PERIOD. I mean, he transmogrified into a legit rock god during the end of that solo. Such an underrated song.

Ahhhh! So vintage and rare! '88 was a lost year with video for the Priest! Thank you for this!

rob is the best voice of the Heavy metal! is a god.

Best album ever!!!!!!!!

Wow they were precise on these two! Wish there was more footage from this tour

Para mim esse dueto de guitarras resume muito bem tudo o que o heavy metal deveria ser.

❤disfrutar de la musica grscias❤😂🎉

I remember this tour was friggen METAL \m/ Really good see this rare '88 footage.

❤buena tarde gracias❤😂

Tipton and Downing at their best, what a duo🤘🤘🤘

i wish i was there!!!

🙏 Thanks for your bootleg video. 📼 I hope that Judas Priest and Sony Music will have live performances from "Ram It Down" and "Painkiller" tours release also on DVD and Blu-ray of good quality in the near future.

I was at the New Haven show. epic....

4.05 glenn rules!

Ram it down! Raw it down!

Gods!

Great job filming to whoever did, and someone actually knows that, during the guitar solos, turn to the guitarists.

VOTE!!!

I miss the Ram It Down songs.

Glenn Raymond Tipton.....'nuff said.

最高！

6:31 coolness level... GLENN

Rob kicks real butt! Fucking amazing...

👍👍👍

Glen Tipton completely owns

HQ my ass. This was recorded with a potato. Kickass song anyway :-)

E a música mais rica em solos do judas priest

❤😂un saludo gracias❤😂

METAL GODS ..................

I actually really liked the ram it down album blistering heavy metal really good album and I always thought live priest would kill it and this proves it really Amazing wish they would bring it back in to the set

RAM IT DOWN \m/

Dave Hoand is on fucking speed here or what? the whole band is struggling the keep the pace!!!!!!

5:00 oh my..

Great video. Ram it down is definitely the most under-rated metal album of all time, even by JP. They ignored it on their later tours, which was always a disappointment.

Metal as Fuck!

@rjkStudios Rob's voice is always amazing
