I am sorry for your loss. It is a pity that we are on different continents and I did not know your husband and you. Your husband was a talented man. You can't help but love this kind of music. I'm from the land of snows and bears :) and I've never seen Priest, but I've been loving them since 1995. and what they do is amazing, their energy and expression is something
I was lucky enough to see Priest a couple of times. I’m glad you had enjoyable experiences with your mate. I wish I had a similar mate to enjoy this music. Alas, it’s not for everyone … but you’d better believe that it fuels me daily. Peace.
I still cannot understand how he can do the things he does vocally. The pitch, the accuracy, the power, the aggression..It goes on and on..what a legend
Not to mention he's not having to destroy his vocal chords to do it. You can tell he's able to find that perfect resonance point in his voice to make those sounds instead of straining to get there. I'm sure they rehearse plenty, but his singing ability has got to be largely innate talent.
Literally what I imagine when you say "heavy metal". The lighting, the sound, the dueling solos with alternating spotlights, the choreography, the leather, the hair, the audience, the loudness. This performance is the prototype of metal for me.
"The Sentinel" ranks [ imo ] as one of the best metal songs ever written - the dual guitar harmonies are sublimely haunting .....and the 'samurai ethos' woven into Halford's lyrics is timeless in a brutal yet compelling way...... the dark poetry of the tale mesmerizes......this song has the power of a bomb ....and yet retains the musical subtlety of a classical ensemble......quite simply put - this piece is a work of art. Metal art that is .....for those uninitiated. It just doesn't get any better than this ....different maybe.....but not better.
You wrote this a long time ago now, but you don't get enough credit for it. You are too right brother. It is not just good. It is tantalising in a way that not many songs are. IF you really listen it keeps you on the edge throughout and won't disappoint for a single second. Heavt metal at its best.

I think this is Halford's best live performance ever. He just owns it, it seems like he just couldn't keep those amazing high notes inside himself, he let all of his vocal power come out naturally. And that is fucking awesome.
@@KeepChessSimple True, but the comment doesn't claim this is from Priest...Live, he's referring to this period in general. Although I'd argue Rob was even more impressive during the Mercenaries of Metal tour, as evidenced by the New Haven concert.
I started collecting vinyls over the last year or two, and my dad had a bunch from the 80s. He gave me all of them. Metallica, Slayer, Maiden, all of it. One of the albums he gave me was Priest... Live! I haven't been able to spin all of them yet but this is definitely my next one!
I miss Rob doing this amazing presence on stage... His performance was amazing, not only vocally speaking, but in stage presence, instead of just staying still and holding the mic with two hands, looking nowhere, etc... He was a myth on stage in these times!!
Well, the man ain’t getting any younger, obviously he’s having real difficulties hitting those notes. I miss his stage persona so much, rewatching old bops every now and then;)
Pfft those are amatuer number. Pakistani people listen to the song the entire day, we don't even breathe until the sentinel is playing in the background.
To me, this is the best Judas Priest song. The most efficient, most delivery, the breakdown part and then Rob’s vocals at the end of the track are incredible. This song and Ram it Down are in my Top 3.
One of my favorite Priest tunes. I've heard it dozens of times, and I still get goosebumps whenever Halford screams "SWORN TO AVENGE... CONDEMNED TO HELL!"
Halford is the GOAT. There can be no question about that. Not only his unbelievable singing prowess, but his charisma and stage presence. He's on his own level as far as I'm concerned.
The duel between Glen and KK is the stuff guitar legends are made of. While the lyrics explain what's going down the guitar solos leave no doubt as to the violence of the situation.
The Sentinel, one of the BEST composition ever made. It's like a Classical Symphony, thru a long Song that tastes short, so I'm gonna listen again. One of my favorites ever. Judas Priest is the King of Heavy Metal, and fuck ! how they sound live , whoooaaooo
+Sophie Grace Where can i get those jackets? I want to dress up like they did on this video and sing their song on singing competition (watched by few milion ppl).
Lyrics : Along deserted avenues Steam begins to rise The figures primed and ready Prepared for quick surprise He's watchin' for a sign His life is on the line Sworn to avenge Condemn to hell Tempt not the blade All fear the Sentinel Dogs whine in the alleys Smoke is on the wind From deep inside its empty shell A cathedral bell begins Reading out its toll A storm begins to grow Sworn to avenge Condemn to hell Tempt not the blade All fear the Sentinel Amidst the upturned burned-out cars The challengers await And in their fists clutch iron bars With which to seal his fate Across his chest is scabbards rest The rows of throwing knives Whose razor points in challenged tests Have finished many lives Now facing one another The stand-off eats at time Then all at once a silence falls As the bell ceases its chime Upon this sign the challengers With shrieks and cries rush forth The knives fly out like bullets Upon their deadly course Screams of pain and agony Rent the silent air Amidst the dying bodies Blood runs everywhere The figure stands expressionless Impassive and alone Unmoved by this victory And the seeds of death he's sown Sworn to avenge Condemn to hell Tempt not the blade All fear the Sentinel
Rent the silent air Amid the dying bodies Blood runs everywhere The figure stands expressionless Impassive and alone Unmoved by his victory And the seeds of death he's sown (Chorus)
Been listening to Priest for almost 20 years now. The hair still stand up on the back of my neck when a Priest song turns up on the playlist. Phenomenal.
the showmanship, the Shakepearean acting, the engagement of the auidence.. he did it all for us... saw him 7 times... he really did care for his audience... the best performer ever...
Now facing one another The stand-off eats at time Then all at once a silence falls As the bell ceases it's chime Upon this sign the challengers With shrieks and cries rush forth The knives fly out like bullets Upon their deadly course Screams of pain and agony Rent the silent air Amidst the dying bodies Blood runs everywhere The figure stands expressionless Impassive and alone Unmoved by this victory And the seeds of death he's sown if those aren't the most chilling lyrics I've ever heard from a rock track, I don't know what is
In 84, the first time listening to this album on my stereo, amidst the blur, I could make out these words: *Now facing one another* The stand-off eats at time *Then all at once a silence falls* *As the bell ceases its chime* Upon this sign the challengers With shrieks and cries rush forth *The knives fly out like bullets* *Upon their deadly course* Screams of pain and agony *Rent the silent air* *Amidst the dying bodies* *Blood runs everywhere* The figure stands expressionless *Impassive and alone* Unmoved by his victory *By the seeds of death he's sown* ...and I remember thinking (even though I couldn't quite make out ALL the words) that these lyrics were just mythic; that THIS was why I loved METAL - only in Metal could something so medieval and visceral be expressed with such drama and power. And the fact that someone would use the word "impassive" in a metal song - that was just gravy!
Dude, this part from Night Crawler is chilling as well. Huddled in the cellar Fear caught in their eyes Daring not to move or breathe As the creature cries Fingernails start scratching On the outside wall Clawing at the windows "Come to me" it calls Atmosphere's electric As it now descend the stairs Hiding in the darkness Is so futile from its glare Death comes in an instant As they hoped it would Souls ascend to heaven While it feasts on flesh and blood
Just listen the chorus after 4:00min...Mister Halfords voice reaches some weird level, unknown to man...i adore his way of clean but yet brutal screams and everyone who says that he do not has his voice anymore like it was when he was younger i say to you...try to do half of the vocals like he did about 25 years and tell me if you still got your voice intact. What a sacrife for for metal what he did.
albermarle52 absolutely agree with you..I've seen them aprox 40 times during their amazing career and not once did halfords voice disappoint (even on back to back shows) actually the entire band is always fantastic!
I would've given anything to see them in their prime. This lineup was their best lineup ever, hands down. Tipton and Downing were the best dual guitars in metal history, imo.
Hello!!! How are you doing today, please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you’re a fan ? Have a great day… Stay Safe
This performance gives me chills, such of perfection. Judas priest is one of the reasons why I love metal, Rob Halford is definitely the best voice of heavy metal along with the greatness of Ronnie James Dio.
That twin guitars connection... love K.K and Glenn... I miss them. Love on the priest, love on defender of the faith, love on fuel for life tour 1986, love 80's music ❤❤❤
Dave Holland was such an underrated drummer. I didn't even appreciate him when this album first came out, but he really does a great job in playing "in the pocket" and with a distinct, heavy-hitting sound. RIP.
@@seanpet8008 The guy wrote that Bruce cleaned Rob's shoes back at the time (I'm not sure if this slang is used in English but it basically means that he wasn't even close). In my opinion they're both amazing vocalists and even though I used to swear by Bruce, lately I've been exclusively listening to Judas Priest. The bands are different and both singers fit perfectly in their band. God bless difference, how boring would this world be without it.
My father left his wife and 4 boys when I was 10 years old. I went to see Judas Priest when I was 13. This was the Sad Wings Of Destiny album. I was the oldest boy in our family but I felt a lot of pressure my job was to raise my brothers to be good men. The music played by Judas Priest was spectacular. Every lyric struck me as true. The honesty of each event in the lyrics was the correct answer to my life. Rob Halford looked down at me and did not remove his eyes, he asked me a question 3 times never changing his eye sight. (What do you want) he asked me directly never removing his eye sight from my eyes. I held up my leather coat in the air in front of Rob Halford. He said loudly "" I Know What you want""Each song was inspiration for me.
My Grandmother passed when my Mom was 8. Grandpa had MS. Mom raised four younger siblings mostly by herself back in the 60/70's. Always an open heart and an open mind. Always loved all forms of music!
Great story of your life bro, life is sometimes tough and we don’t know where can get the extra Strength we need it to face it , in this case You found it in the best metal band ever ..
No where but the metal community do you find endless stories of hope and love it like your's. You have uncountable brothers and sisters who know that truth
I have so much respect for new bands with talent, but when I see the kind of show created by Judas Priest in their prime, I can't think of a band that can match them then and now.

Damn right
The way Rob Halford yells, "Sworn to avenge! Condemn to Hell!" is epic.
It sounds better than the studio record.
Couldn't hear him. What did I think, (paranoid) he was saying?
I pulled up this video specifically to hear that part again. Rob's voice is epic.
Just one word: epic!
I get all warm in my head when he yells like that. It's beyond the limitations
Sabbath made it Heavy, but the Priest made it Metal!
E.C. Everett where the fuck are you to send you cash for some beer?! Perfect comment..you nailed it
Every time someone mentions the words "HEAVY METAL", Judas Priest is inevitably the first band that comes to mind.
Id argue the opposite. Sabbath made it Metal. but Priest made it Heavy
@@markey412 nah, sabbath gave it the rounded heavy sound, but priest made it sharp like metal
This is some true shit this is the era of harmonized gutair and shred solos that clasdified metal
Priest and Maiden.... The best metal bands.
probably the best voice in heavy metal history, just my opinion.
That and Bruce Dickinson
Ronnie James Dio is a great candidate too.
Michael Kiske otro candidato
I agree. Only comparable to Dio and Bruce Dickinson.........
Joseph Nicholson I agree!
My dearly departed husband and I saw Priest 13 times ! He could play every song. Thanks Priest for the memories! ❤

And his flow and sense of timing for expression is amazing
He has a natural octave voice. Lucky eh
Had a friend who found Halford to be too shrill. He's no longer my friend.
The legendary guitar duel, and prime Rob Halford.

what this guy can do with his voice is unbelievable. I enjoy his screams and high notes so much. What a fucking legend.
Yeah bro thought it was gonna sound like ass live, my man can keep those notes up during a show
Yes!!! I must play this piece several times to be fully satisfied😊
One of Halford's best vocal performances ever. The chorus is INSANELY technical.
I don't know about technical but it sounds sick.
I'm Brazilian and I can say, this is the best music in the world.
Brazilians have always been true metalheads!🤝

Totally agree. Never forget this band. Feel sad about Glen but Faulkner got what it takes to carry on the flag
Agreed my friend 🤘💀🤘
He got sober and made the Metal history.
In the first verse he is out of tune, but after the third verse he's getting warm and he's nailing it
I saw them on the PainKiller tour and still have permanent hearing loss. Worth it.
Maiden and Priest Kings of Heavy Metal 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
That twin guitar attack is always awesome.
During this period of the band Rob's voice was at its peak. Priest... Live is just the best live record they ever did and one of the best ever .
This is a different version than from Priest...Live. There he has a different introduction. This one is from ´Fuel for life´

I heard some fools saying Judas Priest is underrated. Are you kidding me? These guys practically invented the metal genre!
My wife currently is reading R.H.'s biography: One of the best bands, one of the best singers and a brave guy when it comes to his coming out.
I can’t believe they can play those solos live like that omg

Lyrics :
Along deserted avenues
Steam begins to rise
The figures primed and ready
Prepared for quick surprise
He's watchin' for a sign
His life is on the line
Sworn to avenge
Condemn to hell
Tempt not the blade
All fear the Sentinel
Dogs whine in the alleys
Smoke is on the wind
From deep inside its empty shell
A cathedral bell begins
Reading out its toll
A storm begins to grow
Sworn to avenge
Condemn to hell
Tempt not the blade
All fear the Sentinel
Amidst the upturned burned-out cars
The challengers await
And in their fists clutch iron bars
With which to seal his fate
Across his chest is scabbards rest
The rows of throwing knives
Whose razor points in challenged tests
Have finished many lives
Now facing one another
The stand-off eats at time
Then all at once a silence falls
As the bell ceases its chime
Upon this sign the challengers
With shrieks and cries rush forth
The knives fly out like bullets
Upon their deadly course
Screams of pain and agony
Rent the silent air
Amidst the dying bodies
Blood runs everywhere
The figure stands expressionless
Impassive and alone
Unmoved by this victory
And the seeds of death he's sown
Sworn to avenge
Condemn to hell
Tempt not the blade
All fear the Sentinel
Rent the silent air
Amid the dying bodies
Blood runs everywhere
The figure stands expressionless
Impassive and alone
Unmoved by his victory
And the seeds of death he's sown
(Chorus)
Sworn to avenge,
CONDEMN TO HELL!
Tempt not the blade
All fear the Sentinel!!!
One of the greatest metal songs of all time! It has everything that makes a good metal song!

I'll leave this here just for fun:
This was a live performance.... fricking Christ almighty.... a perfect 10!!!
The best heavy metal band on earth
The Metal God in all his power
Rob is 100% in it to win it every time he hits the stage.
the showmanship, the Shakepearean acting, the engagement of the auidence.. he did it all for us... saw him 7 times... he really did care for his audience... the best performer ever...
The solo (solos) are sick! Glenn and KK are gods.
And Richie is a good messiah :D
***** A fucking good one.
Guitar Gods for sure!
No better duo, EVER.
Absolutely agree 🤘💯🤘!!!
Now facing one another
The stand-off eats at time

...and I remember thinking (even though I couldn't quite make out ALL the words) that these lyrics were just mythic; that THIS was why I loved METAL - only in Metal could something so medieval and visceral be expressed with such drama and power. And the fact that someone would use the word "impassive" in a metal song - that was just gravy!
You absolutely nailed that perfectly.
Dude, this part from Night Crawler is chilling as well.
Huddled in the cellar
Fear caught in their eyes
Daring not to move or breathe
As the creature cries
Fingernails start scratching
On the outside wall
Clawing at the windows
"Come to me" it calls
Atmosphere's electric
As it now descend the stairs
Hiding in the darkness
Is so futile from its glare
Death comes in an instant
As they hoped it would
Souls ascend to heaven
While it feasts on flesh and blood
a LOT of my university notebooks depicted this scene instead of lecturer's words.
The best band of all time!!!!
The way Rob hits them high notes like it’s nothing. A metal god indeed.
WHAT IS THE DEFINITION OF PURE EPICKNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HERE IT IS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The most evil sounding opening riff ever!
+walker8476 That goes to The Ripper or Black Sabbath.
+walker8476 Dissident Aggressor has a far more foreboding / evil opening than this. Both amazing songs though.
walker8476 I've seen them in the early 80's till 2000's his never had changed!
I think Five Magics sounds very evil.
What's an "opening riff"? Ear ghosts say Iron Man...
that guitar battle though..
though what?
The best heavy metal vocalist.
NI HABLAR EL NUMERO UNO NUMBER ONE
my top 3 varies but I'd say Blackie Lawless, Udo Dirkschneider and Rob Halford
@@rockenOne Jeff Tate is also great
Dio takes that throne, but Rob is awesome, too!! Remember, it´s not all about high notes, there´s vibrato, power, tone, dynamics...
This is when guitar solos made sense and actually made the songs better
The lead guitar duel still gives me goose bumps after all these years :D
It´s not a matter of time! It´s MUSIC!!!
Hell yeaaaah \m/
the Sentinel will defend Metal forever, on a path that unites us all as one.......\m/ \m/
Morbid Angel well said, my metal friend
\\m// \\m//
the most awesomiest song of all songs !
Halleluja!!! The metal god in his prime!
Morbid Angel duhhhh
Rob, DIO, Dickinson & Ozzy. Singers legends
I still think the Memphis 82 live concert is the best of the best. I grew up watching the vhs. It made me want to be a rock star.
Just listen the chorus after 4:00min...Mister Halfords voice reaches some weird level, unknown to man...i adore his way of clean but yet brutal screams and everyone who says that he do not has his voice anymore like it was when he was younger i say to you...try to do half of the vocals like he did about 25 years and tell me if you still got your voice intact. What a sacrife for for metal what he did.
The only song that I've heard those kind high notes that was not Judas Priest is Micro Cuts by Muse.
+Piirakka Liisa his voice has changed but like a fine wine Halfords voice has only gotten better....
+spiderpark I saw them a few months ago, on the rail. He still has the high notes

The part where he says “condemned to hell” in the high pitch voice gives me goosebumps every time 🤘
Definitely, for me, the fathers of heavy metal.
The good ole days of Dueling Guitars.
My god, his voice was so good- His vocals were on point, can’t believe he was able to do this live!
I would've given anything to see them in their prime. This lineup was their best lineup ever, hands down. Tipton and Downing were the best dual guitars in metal history, imo.
i was there.......i heard this song on the tour that had it on the album,defenders of the faith..........tickets $15 from a scalper
My first concert was Defenders then I got to see them twice on this tour, both shows were great.
I saw them on the Defenders tour, they were incredible
The duel guitars of K.K. and Tipton are magical.
The sreams, the leather, the lyrics, those guitars sounding like hell... this song is the pure essence of heavy metal.
That high pitched scream in this one is rad

This is what I like about live music. It shows who has real talent, and who is just a pretender. Judas Priest shows that they can rock for real.
To me, Glenn and K.K. Will always be the best guitar duo. Anyone agree?
Yessir!!!
Far from it😂Jim Root and Mick Thomson

One of the most top songs of heavy metal history
This man doesn’t even need a lozenge after that… amazing!
Judas Priest made me fall in love with metal music in the early 80s!
Defenders of the Faith is the best heavy metal record of all time.
This performance gives me chills, such of perfection. Judas priest is one of the reasons why I love metal, Rob Halford is definitely the best voice of heavy metal along with the greatness of Ronnie James Dio.
+Zeeshan Alabedin Bruce def has to be in the conversation of top all time Metal frontmen. I would say 1. Dio 2. Halford 3. Dickinson
aquariuslalo y'all forgot about Ozzy Osbourne.
Yes man exactly..! The only one I could put side by side with Dio is Rob!
Manny4356 ehhh I'd ozzy is legendary but dio, halford and bruce get more praise from me.
All of the legend metal singers are truly fucking legends!
That twin guitars connection... love K.K and Glenn... I miss them. Love on the priest, love on defender of the faith, love on fuel for life tour 1986, love 80's music ❤❤❤
Dave Holland was such an underrated drummer. I didn't even appreciate him when this album first came out, but he really does a great job in playing "in the pocket" and with a distinct, heavy-hitting sound. RIP.
priest could not have had a better drummer then this dude in the 80s
yep one of the all time greats and likely top underrated. his timing was impeccable. these days drummers are much sloppier.
Agree 👍
@@thatisme3thatisme38 drummers are just as tight nowadays, especially metal drummers
@@bowlofnuggets some are. Not all...example lars
A song for those gave their lives for war without gratitude for their sacrifice of their own death. Make no mistake, their souls live on!
The best Judas Priest song.
Halfords voice strikes directly into my heart. 🤘🤘🤘
It saddens me to be only able to like this once)=
what a voice....
En ese tiempo dickinson le lustraba los zapatos a rob halford
@@sergiorod2722 hey dude rob halford is superior alright!!!
@@seanpet8008 The guy wrote that Bruce cleaned Rob's shoes back at the time (I'm not sure if this slang is used in English but it basically means that he wasn't even close). In my opinion they're both amazing vocalists and even though I used to swear by Bruce, lately I've been exclusively listening to Judas Priest. The bands are different and both singers fit perfectly in their band. God bless difference, how boring would this world be without it.
Yes. I am one of those people who can't get over it how good this song and live performance is. I was fueled for life 29.10.1986 at Helsinki Icehall.
Bonjovi Beater...so proud to be BRITISH when I see this!
Judas Priest was at their best during this tour... Fuel for life tour... Robs voice was the king of vocals! Untouchable!
My father left his wife and 4 boys when I was 10 years old. I went to see Judas Priest when I was 13. This was the Sad Wings Of Destiny album. I was the oldest boy in our family but I felt a lot of pressure my job was to raise my brothers to be good men. The music played by Judas Priest was spectacular. Every lyric struck me as true. The honesty of each event in the lyrics was the correct answer to my life. Rob Halford looked down at me and did not remove his eyes, he asked me a question 3 times never changing his eye sight. (What do you want) he asked me directly never removing his eye sight from my eyes. I held up my leather coat in the air in front of Rob Halford. He said loudly "" I Know What you want""Each song was inspiration for me.
My Grandmother passed when my Mom was 8. Grandpa had MS. Mom raised four younger siblings mostly by herself back in the 60/70's. Always an open heart and an open mind. Always loved all forms of music!
Great story of your life bro, life is sometimes tough and we don’t know where can get the extra Strength we need it to face it , in this case You found it in the best metal band ever ..
No where but the metal community do you find endless stories of hope and love it like your's. You have uncountable brothers and sisters who know that truth
🙏 and good wishes to you in 2023.
I have so much respect for new bands with talent, but when I see the kind of show created by Judas Priest in their prime, I can't think of a band that can match them then and now.
This is the best heavy metal song ever for me . Never boring from 1984 until now .
And the Gods of Metal saw that it was goooood.... Here endeth the lesson for today.
