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.
well.. both yes and no :P yes: the will always make good songs and still delivere when needed. no: rob can`t sing like he did 30 years ago. why need no epxlanation haha! but when taking his age into consideration, he has got a REALLY good voice!! there aren`t many like him !
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.
im 25 but im sure i will never forget this song or stop listening to it from time to time. Music comes and goes but songs like this will remain in your memory for a long time, sometimes forever
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 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! 🤘🤘
@@starmc26 yes but not so much standard back in the day. Halford was the man back in the day & a major groundbreaker vocal wise. Probably the most inspiring metal vocals there will ever be. So many followed his example & set the stage....
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. 🤟🤟🤟
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.
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
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

A great song improved. Thanks to Joan Baez for writing these fantastic lyrics. And thanks to Priest for making it better. If you want another interesting interpretation of the song check out the cover Blackmore's Night did. His wife used to sing opera and she's really talented. Their song Lorelei is another one I dig.
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.
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.
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 .
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 !!!!

I was there with you Connie 👍
Lucky you!!!
Uria heap
Respect for Rob and Alice!
They're both good guys.
This is the version people need to hear. This is beautiful to my ears.
I agree. I like the slow down from this compared to the original.
It’s so moving
Rob and the band could do this with any song in my opinion
I agree, Rob Halfords singing is brilliant.
Agreed 👍🏻
100% agree
Judas Priest is like fine wine. They get better with age.. This version is “Top Shelf”… 🔥🔥
well.. both yes and no :P
yes: the will always make good songs and still delivere when needed.
no: rob can`t sing like he did 30 years ago. why need no epxlanation haha!

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

I’m with you brother
Wow! Me too. So you are 57 years old as well as I am? Rock on 🤘
Me too, since 1976! Great band great voice! Thank you for the music Judas! 🏴🇩🇪
I started listening when I was a teenager, and now I'm in my late 50s. I'm still enjoying their music.

You are right🤩

An absolute brilliant cover for Joan Baez's masterpiece
bob dylan music
Written by Joan Baez about her relationship with Bob Dylan
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! 🤘🤘
You should hear that drum pop at 124db through 54 drivers
I'm drunk now and love how this song sounds
My sentiments 💯 exactly!!
I've been coming back to this video every year or two for well over a decade now, experiencing the exact same thing! Here I am again! Never get old!
@@doncunningham3124 Amen brother...Amen.
One of the best songs ever done!
This is my favorite version, the slowness brings a passion, an emotion, you can feel the pain that the faster version doesn't deliver. 💜
What a performance. Halford is amazing. I love this song and this version is absolutely brilliant!
Love it forever as well .❤
Beautiful.♥️♥️
I get chills EVERY time the drums kick in!!!
I keep getting back to it!!
Same..❤
2:55 - KK smiles and think: "Yes, we have the most versatile, acrobatic and best singer in the world."
Best version of the song!
The Best use Joan Báez versión.
The queen of USA folk music....and the powerfull JP....OVER THE TOP !!!
NO COMMENT....
JOAN BAEZ ....IS ...JUDAS PRIEST......
It is the best version ive ever heard other than a couple of Joans versions
@@Manz-jx1wv
It true
I wouldn’t say that but it’s good
I love this version 😍❤️
The best!
its amazing, I listen to it everyday.
The best! To bad it can't be found on spotify :(
@@djclabbe88 I agree, that's sad
Ditto. Amazing.
Rob have one of the best voices in the history of rock.
ya think!?
@@Brianartist11 Yeah bro
THE GOD OF METAL!
The Best
Terrible vos
That's the most beautiful version of "Diamonds and Rust" by Judas Priest.
Judas Priest showed unlimited respect to the original song and we all enjoy this masterpiece!
Pra mim, essa é a melhor performance ao vivo de um cantor de metal na história.
Best ever version! Some day we'll meet again brother, RIP!
I love how Scott comes in the song with the drums! Amazing drummer, amazing song, amazing band! Priest for ever!
Привет из России
Who would have thought a extremely metal group, could, and would make such a beautiful song.
This is up there for ballads
They did not make this song, Joan Baez did. Still, this is pretty amazing.
I did not know that........🤔
There's an endless amount of amazing ballads by metal bands! The versatility of metal is endless and there's a sub genre for everyone musical tastes.
No I get it. Yeah there are a tone of great ballads, but JP is just so heavy. It just surprises me...
Que voz espectacular tiene Rob Halford,es impresionante
Rob Halford - best heavy metal singer ever.
with Dio
Há controvérsias...
By far the best version
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.
This version goes to the belly, Joan's goes to the heart!!
Жаль у меня нет волос, мне 63, но я каждый раз куда-то улетаю, слушая эту песню
Powerful voice + great guitars sound...LOVE JUDUS PRIEST
Fuck, Halford is amazing. Long live the Metal God.
the greatest performance of all time!!!!
απιστευτη ερμηνεια ανατριχιαζεις!!!!
Judas Priest♥️Rob Halford
🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🤘🤘🤘
Πραγματικά όμως, απίστευτη ερμηνεία, Judas Priest for the win!! ❤️💯
Es tan profundo este temazo una verdadera obra de arte y más aún con la voz única de Rob Halford
Si que lo es, un temazo lo mires como lo mires 🇪🇦🇺🇦
@@EugenioGallardo-oo6xh yo me emociono cada vez que lo escucho.
Truly amazing how this band grew and grew as musicians and Rob as a singer, with each album, 🤘🏼💀🤘🏼
joe ash I played that for you bro from your old friend Cleve
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!
It's called mic-control. Should be Lesson 101 in every singers handbook. Sadly it isn't...
I agree, his mic control is excellent.
Yes! You got it Steven!
Pretty standard
@@starmc26 yes but not so much standard back in the day. Halford was the man back in the day & a major groundbreaker vocal wise. Probably the most inspiring metal vocals there will ever be. So many followed his example & set the stage....
A timeless classic performed masterfully by the Priest!
Goosebumps for this amazing version!
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. 🤟🤟🤟
They should release this version, absolutely masterpiece 😊
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.
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. 🤘🏼🎤
Best ballad ever
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.
Such a strong voice. And talented band!!
Perhaps underrated. Such a solid, professional band. Serious musicians.
a talented band !!!
did you hear judas priest for the first time 1 year ago ? talented band !!
they`re in their own divison !

По сравнению с другими ..., короче - они отдыхают.
The greatest heavy metal band that ever lived.
I love it... 4 guitars and 2 guitarists.
Yeah…crazy shit!
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
THANKS.. SO MUCH 🎶🙏🙏🎈🎈

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