Being a teenager in the early 80s was the greatest gift a human being has ever received on earth.

"That guy can sing...." That's an understatement. He is the metal god.

1982 Iron Maiden opened for Priest still the best double I've ever seen . Both bands were on a rampage.

That's the exact reason why Priest and their counterparts are called as "Metal Gods"🙂❤🙏 they have their own single called "Metal Gods"🙏 Oh man Judas Priest is indeed a legendary band🙏☝

You have no idea how awesome it was to get a new album from bands like Priest, Sabbath, Zeppelin, Dio, Maiden, Ozzy, Rush, Scorpions and AcDc every year for about 10 years back in the mid 70s to the mid 80s

Rob turned 70 yesterday, long live the Metal God!

Rob Halford...Best heavy metal singer ever. Downing-Tipton.....Best heavy metal couple of guitarrist ever. Nothing more to say.

Song is from 1976, Priest introduced and created the leather and stud heavy metal look. Black Sabbath and Judas Priest are both from Birmingham, if Sabbath made it heavy, Priest made it METAL!

This song first appeared on "Sad Wings of Destiny," widely held by many as Priest's best album. You ought to give it a listen, the whole album is GOLD.

The concert was 82, this song is much older than that. Priest popularized the leather look, head banging, and dual guitar attack that defined 80’s metal

Next: The Sentinel, live 1984. Judas Priest is a many facets bands and they change a lot in every album.

You've just heard victim. Try dreamer deceiver bbc 1975 version very cool.

I saw this tour in Canada . I saw them several times in the eighties . Their shows got bigger and bigger . This is the band that can claim they took the blues out of metal and made it pure metal . Halford is the metal god !

I lived through it, I was a freshman in high school in 1980, the 80s were the greatest time in medal an rock history, just my opinion. My childhood Buddy is the current drummer for Judas priest's Scott Travis. He grew up here in Virginia with us great great drummer . I don't know if you all checked out pain killer, but it's amazing.👏🔥💯👍

The parent album of this song came out in March 76. You're right. Many bands that came later (specifically Iron Maiden) took the Priest blueprint and ran with it. Basically, Judas Priest single handedly invented metal as you now know it, back in the mid 70s. I saw them a few times late 70s here in the UK. Always awesome. I strongly suggest that you listen to the whole album (Sad Wings Of Destiny) and reflect on how that one album changed the whole scene from 'rock' (Purple, Sabbath etc) to 'metal' It has to be said, its also a brilliant album

Judas priest has there own style and sound. The hole group is amazing ❤

Heavy Metal doesn't get any better than this🖤. Priest killed it!!

I was at that show. They played so loud that they were knocking acoustic tiles from the ceiling. It was an awesome show. I've had the pleasure of seeing them 7 times in the 80s and 90s. I saw White Snake and Iron Maiden open for them at the Auditorium North Hall in Memphis when I was 17. They never put on a bad show.

The amazing thing about this song (apart from being a classic) is that it's from 1976. There wasn't any other metal sounding like this back then...

Devil's Child and Desert Plains from the same concert have some of the most insane vocal performances from Halford

Saw this tour.... Screaming for Vengeance '82 and Defenders of the Faith in '84. It was a great time to be a Metal Head. There's only 1 Metal Band that has stood the test of time and is still kicking ass today and that's The Mighty Priest. Celebrating 50 years of Metal this year.

Bruce Dickinson & Rob Halford are two of the greatest metal singers to ever live! 🤘🤘

Was lucky enough to see Priest several times in the 80’s. Incredible talent and yes it was an amazing time to be alive.

One of THE VERY BEST then, and STILL doing the business!! They helped define and build an entire genre of music and still do it better than MOST if not ALL!!! 🤘🤘

Was 17 years old 1982,the 80's was so awesome to be young. The music that decade is the best ever. Feel sorry for you kids out there who miss these fantastic koncerts and all this great bands🤘

Saw this tour. Halford whispered JUDAS PRIEST. AND THE WHOLE CROWD STARTED SHOUTING JUDAS PRIEST AND IT LASTED ALMOST 5 MINUTES. Talk about crowd control! Never forget that day!

I was there...rwaz really amazing times. Saw this very tour my senior year. Everything after was really, just, aftermath of these legendary giants!

I saw that tour and actually this song is from the 70’s. I actually saw them in 81 for the first time.

I had this concert on VHS back in the mid-80’s and I used to watch EVERY morning before I went to work. Along with Iron Maiden, Judas Priest ruled the heavy metal world back then and I couldn’t get enough of them. I played in a band that covered a number of Priest songs and they were always my favourites. Ahhh, bring back the 80’s....

I saw Priest a couple times, they put on quite the show! GOOD TIMES, & GREAT TIME to be alive, growing up with the best music! 😁 Great reaction😊

Amazing Priest. Still producing 1st class albums today. Their live album Unleashed in the East is one of the best live albums ever.

Gotta love Judas Priest. That isn't just an 80s performance. That is an 80s performance of a 70s song. Priest, along with only a handful of others, paved the way for the rest of today's metal.

Saw them the 1st time in 78, N.Y.C. The song came from their 75 album, their 2nd album sad wings of destiny!!

Saw them during this tour. It was the loudest concert I've ever been to

Been listening to JP SINCE 1981. FINALLY SAW THEM LIVE IN 2017. Rob Halford still has vocal chops.....

I was at the opening show of the SCREAMING FOR VENGEANCE tour down in Bethlehem PA …. road trip from CT with my bass player. It was at Lehigh University gymnasium …. a small place by Priest standards. 4th row on the floor caught a guitar pick & got showered with Rob’s sweat multiple times as I clawed to the barrier. The mighty Brits left us drained & deaf for a couple days. Easily one of my top 5 shows of all time. And just imagine how crisp & powerful Rob’s vocals were on that night compared to this video after being out performing night after night.

The Mighty Priest - saw them on this tour in the UK, my second Priest gig, my first being 81 with the amazing Accept supporting 🤘

My 2nd concert ever was Judas Priest on this tour. Thanks for the time machine back to 1982. Back whten the music was hard, the music was loud and a ticket to a concert cost you $8.50. They don't call him the Metal God for nothing.

Judas Priest is the Metal Standard! I saw that show in 83 in Hawaii. I was 13! My ears were ringing til the next day!

Painkiller Judas Priest. If you like Rob Halford's high vocals, then this is a must!!!

The studio original from 1976 really shows off his vocals 😁

Ah yes, 80s was a great time for heavy metal. I remember those days and large concert venues. Priest, Dio, Maiden, Scorpions, Rush and even saw some new bands at the time at large clubs like Japanese band, Loudness.

A classic, I remember my first Priest album (stained class) around 1978 when disco ruled. People looked at us like we should be jailed. By 1982 things had completely flipped.

Nice reaction, the metal gods! They put metal into heavy metal. This song is from 1976. You need to do Painkiller next, to see them at their extreme, but 18 albums of bliss to discover.

Glenn Tipton is probably the finest guitarist I've ever seen in 45 years of concert-going. I've seen JP at least a dozen times over the years and they always satisfy every metal craving imaginable.

I was a young man at that time, and had front row seats for that tour. You're right, it was a fun time to be alive, and a heavy metal fan.

I'm 60 years old and I've been to all of their concerts from 1979 through the 80s,best of times

Thanks guys for doing this! It took me back to high school and this very Priest tour. Me and 2 buddies road tripped 200 miles in a 70s VW bug with a rusted out floor board. Its a miracle we survived the concert let alone the trip! ; ) I appreciate the comment about being lucky to be around during this time, its true. Saw so many pioneers of metal. Love your Maiden videos too. They were the best.

I know this is an old thread, but I just saw it so I'll comment anyway. Thank you for using this particular performance of Victim of Changes. So many reactionistas use the same outdoor stadium show where they are clearly overheated and the acoustics are inferior. This show is a better performance, and far more typical of a night with the Priest. I can say this, having seen 7 tours beginning with British Steel. Their live shows were stunning, not to mention LOUD. Look at all those Marshalls and think enclosed venue. I was at the front of the stage near the left stack during one of the shoes, and my ears rang for 3 weeks.

1982.... The year I graduated... So many iconic bands... Such great music to come... Best times ever...ever!!! 🤘😎🤘

Fun fact, I was the Vocalist in a Metal band when I was young. I made the band learn this so I could sing it at shows.

The Greatest Live Heavy Metal Concert video of All Time. Judas Priest '82 from Memphis, Tennessee, USA.

You know what I love about you two. You appreciate music. Old, new doesn’t matter you just love music. Very refreshing. Thank you.

Was around to appreciate it back then - but have to say even with the new guys in the band they can still pull this off - kudos Rob Halford!

Congrats on picking this one...excellent choice-captures the essence. Those Priest concerts were so damn fun. Saw em just about every year in the early 80s.

Being someone who IS old enuff to have lived thru this time, you were so right. I saw the Pittsburgh stop of this very tour. I still remember the chills I got when the lights suddenly went off, & the spoken word intro to Number of the Beast blasted out, letting us know Maiden was about to kick some arse. But then Priest came out to remind us that they were the true Metal Gods. It was my first real metal show, & altho I have seen some great rock concerts over the years, this one was the best, in my humble opinion. I am a musician to this day, inspired largely by this very show. Thank you for bringing back some amazing memories with this vid.

Seeen this tour in Long Beach, California. 16 years old. What a glorious time for metal.

I was 22 at that time and enjoying there great music 🎵🎶. It was a big party

70s & 80s concerts made life worth living

Wow, You can still feel the loss THE second there done and you realize thats it!! .time to go home, and you wonder if you will ever hear/feel like that again...Well Done on the Reaction. Your reactions were priceless. So Glad i got to see them in 82 ((Screaming for Vengence Tour)

I went to the Houston, TX leg of this tour. 3rd row - could not hear for a week and my ears rang for over a month!

Saw them when they toured with Blue Oyster Cult in the 70's for the first of many times. Always one of the best live shows you could ever see.

That final scream can cut through metal. It's unbelievable

This show is iconic. When I was in a Priest tribute we would do this set as our show some nights. Always went over so well.

Went to my first Priest show in '83 , I was 15 in the ninth grade . So many great bands back then .

I saw Priest live in 1982. I was 17.

Priest cannot be put in a box. Comments are telling you to go from this 1976 song, then jump ahead to the 1990 Painkiller when there is so much more in between that. Priest was the only metal band that had the foresight to see the change not just in metal, but in music as a whole. And in turn, they changed with it, but kept 'their' sound. From the 70s clean funk and groove, to the early 80s hair metal, into the 80s synth sound, and into the 90s heavy, thrash. No other band had performed that feat. 50 years of metal this year, and still playing. Un-fuckin-believable!

Real metal = real music 🖤🤘🏻🖤

I Just wanna say I Love your channel paying attantion to all those great bands ..and that smile of you Susi Q just makes my day you are beautifull inside and outside so guys keep on posting these reaction videos cause i lo ve it

I was there in Memphis Tenn. at the Mid South Coliseum for that show. Still got the ticket stubs, this was the greatest metal band ever.

The first metal band to Cover the WHOLE STAGE WITH MARSHALLS! THE 2 MIDDLE STACKS OPENED UP FOR ROB TO RIDE THROUGH THEM ON THE HARLEY FOR HELL BENT FOR LEATHER! EPIC! AND HISTORICAL!

There's a reason that Priest are nicknamed Metal Gods with Rob being THE Metal God. That guy is absolutely positively insane. The thing is: they're still around and still kicking ass. Their 20018 album was certainly one of the best if not the best metal album of that year. The best known lineup fronted by Rob was assembled between 1972 and 1974, the band was nominally around before that, but it was a very different band. So, basically started in the 70s, still great in 2020. That's 5 decades of evolution. 5 decades of pushing forward, 5 decades of incorporating influences and creating something new from that. There's so many great songs in their catalogue and not a single one sonds like they've done something like it before.

This band are a metal beast who are still doing it now!! Love this band xx

Freewheel burning and Rapid Fire is Real Heavy Metal. First Double Bass Drums in Rapid Fire. They certainly paved the way.

Halford is a LIVING LEGEND

You need to see the Live at the Seminole Hard Rock Arena version even better the guitar solo is insane 🔥🔥🔥

no internet ...only huge VCR cameras ...had to actully go to the show and see it...1982 ...so awesome to grow up then....

I saw the band so long ago it was 1976 and then I saw them 6 years ago in Allen Texas , the rocked the house!

I saw that screaming for vengeance tour sooooo good!

Saw them open for KISS in 1979, then the next time was 1982 again as the headliner. This song was from 1975's Sad Wings Of Destiny and best recording in off the unleashed in the east live in Japan, best live Judas Priest.

Being a recent viewer to your reactions, there is something you guys do with an open heart that I absolutely love. You are not fronting like you've been into metal your whole life, we get to see in real-time as you discover each new legendary band and I've been witnessing seeing the wheels in both your heads turning as you add this to your roster of influences and the way in which you feel you may incorporate ideas into your band. I'm very curious to hear the direction of The Wolf Hunters in the future given all of this remarkable music you guys are processing. Travis is totally on point with his comment on their look and vibe... It is METAL. 100% and it was the blueprint for metal visually even up to this day. Certainly other bands we're just beginning to touch on the leather and spike look, at this time, like Maiden's early vocalist Paul Di'anno, and KISS had a silver and black vibe on, but Judas Priest presented it as a unified front with a stage design of a wall of Marshall amplifiers that just made a statement. If I may reference another example of how cool it is to see you guys soaking in a brand new musical magic moment..., where you are feeling the raw power and sincerity of the vocalist during your reaction to Rainbow's " Stargazer" . But you don't know at that moment that the singer is Ronnie James Dio. Pretty much THE preeminent metal vocalists of all time. He was killing it in his early years with Rainbow before he would join Black Sabbath, and then go on to Legendary status as the founder of his own band Dio. I think it's absolutely charming to seeing you both feeling the intensity, without having any of the baggage that some of us would probably bring to that performance without being able to help ourselves.. Dio has been in my life for 35 years... it's just a very different place to be approaching the same music from. However it's great to see that music be able to impact young musicians just as powerfully as it did me the first time. Really love what you guys are doing, and how honest you are and your presentation. Keep it up.

They did an amazing version of this track live at The Seminole back in 2010. Definitely worth checking out!

Oh dang, some classic Priest godz of metal, seen them back in 80-86 in San Antonio. Unleashed in the East was one of the greatest live albums ever created

Judas Priest's first album came out in 1974! Rocka ROLLA ! Had a bottle cap that looked like the coca cola cap. But said Rocka ROLLA ! 82... Far from the early stages of metal ! This was on the Sad Wings of Destiny album. I believe released in 76.

The second concert I ever saw in my life was Judas priest on this tour 3 days after this video was recorded.

Born in 1962. I lived it. It was great ! But when I visit the US and you're band gets to play I will also visit.

I saw these guys on their 82 tour. I was 20 years old. It was so amazing!!

This song got me into Judas Priest when Sad Wings Of Destiny came out.

Dude you guys are fricken great!!!! Good review!

loved the reaction, tnx guys. let's not forget this song is from 1976, in1982 it was already an old classic. groundbreaking band for sure...
