This is nothing but TRUE! One of good guitar harmonization between Glenn and K.K.! Hard to find the match. It was just pure, pure heavy metal! 🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽 BTW, I used to put Rob's screaming at the intro as the ringtone of my dumbphone once! 😊😊😊
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.
Great album, I think they changed up their sound (and drummer) after this album and didn’t waste much time on playing it live but it has some forgotten shredders on it for sure. There wasn’t a single on it that blew up like Turbo Lover and the album cover art was shit.
"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.
Exactly. In ram it down album some estupids said that Judas Priest use a drum machine in the recording, Well they was right, the drum machine was Dave Holland himself. 😁🤟
@@CKT1138 Fake. There's no proof of that. If you listen carefully it's the sound of Dave Holland. He was a really great drummer. All that thing of the drum machine Is just am evil lie.
@@metalerowilliamxxx it's not. KK Downing said it was a drum machine in his book, and he wasn't the first person to admit that either, Rob has also said it. The track Heavy Metal is especially obvious. Blood Red Skies, too, the drums have no sonic variation, every hit is the same volume, decay, and pitch.
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 saw them on this tour in San Antonio. This was a great show. Great set list. Priest has never disappointed in concert. They are the embodiment of a heavy metal band. Greatness.
@@kevinrkotara6730 My first experience seeing them live was on their 91 Painkiller tour. All I can say is, WOW! My friend and I had to travel in a blizzard, not knowing if the show would be cancelled due to the storm, and only about 2000 or so people made it, and the show was sold out. That's how bad the storm was. They didn't disappoint. When Rob came out, he said, "You people came out in this shitty weather and risked your lives to see us, the least we can do is give you the best damn show we can give, and brother they were so good. I was so impressed with Painkiller, but for me the highlight of the night was when they did Beyond The Realms Of Death. The only time I got to them, but they left a lasting impression.
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.
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.
There's an official bootleg from this tour on the massive fifty year anniversary box set that's done by tom allom ruclips.net/video/NmWrA-h97e4/видео.html
@@theviridiansons Oh man, I had no idea this boxset even existed, I have to get it... you just cost me some serious cash, my friend 😄 Appreciate the heads up!
@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.
Slayer., megadeth , testament , pantera. Gorefest ... said they had their butt kicked every time Judas wasnt afraid .. Especially with that type of songs
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"
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.
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!
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.
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.
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!!!

🙏 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.
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.

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.
Read some of the comments . Yes it’s a drum machine you’re hearing on the studio RAM IT DOWN. Not starting any arguments but I’m pretty sure it even says it in WIKIPEDIA. I never heard there was a drummer actually playing behind the stage but if you look between 10:35 and 10:50 where it focuses on Dave it looks like he’s behind the beat. How are we hearing crashes and those 2 upbeats on the snare before he even hits them. Looks like it’s true to me. Could be wrong . Realize there’s a delay in live shows before it reaches the back audiences. Ehh I guess . RAM IT DOWN WHAT A MONSTER COOKING TRACK!! JESUS...
AIS Oh ok. Well then it’s possible they would do it again. Was never a fan of Dave Holland but he is Solid. Always seemed like he was struggling to keep up with the band. Les Binks had that Flash with the Sizzling Ghost notes and Stellar interesting fills. Simon Phillips ... goes without saying. Then Scott Travis comes in and just DESTROYS Everything! So glad he’s been with them all this time. I’m pretty sure they won’t need a ghost drummer for him ever!! Lol 🤘

Well very good solo indeed. But Painkiller solo was so good that he could never play it live 👍😂
The bass player hasn’t moved from that spot in 50 years.
it got so bad that at this point they're just cutting him out and transporting from stage to stage

They performed I'm a Rocker and Blood Red Skies later
I can only imagine how Scott Travis would have totally made this a totally different song and album.
They were going into Painkiller mode and the drummer couldn't keep up
@@rainmanjones1969 but he drummed here flawlessly even in higher pace, didn't he?
i cannot even imagine living during that time when "Painkiller" was still in future.
+zakur0hako Me too, it must of felt great back then to wait until the next Judas Priest record to come out in another 2 years away.
Well, before Painkiller we had this, Ram it down album.
"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.
it is at the beginning but not so long its true
As you can see in the video... KK-Glenn-KK-Glenn-harmony-Glenn... yes mostly Glenn... but until the half.. great duel solo...
Most high quality self recorded concert video of an 80's concert I've ever seen
And keep in mind the size of the bloody cameras back then haha. Many of them came with shoulder pads.
True.
Not even high quality
Heavy metal is such an underrated song. That intro melts your face

rob is the best voice of the Heavy metal! is a god.
Masterpiece ever. Great
❤disfrutar de la musica grscias❤😂🎉
That heavy metal intro 🤟
Greatest live ever
Why they didn't release any official DVD of this era? WHY?
Isn't Epitaph official?
Oh wait I read it all wrong hahahaha
Thats a good question. I think they might some day, but only they know.
I remember this tour was friggen METAL \m/ Really good see this rare '88 footage.
The metal GODS!!!!!!
Best album ever!!!!!!!!
MASTERPIECE!
Ahhhh! So vintage and rare! '88 was a lost year with video for the Priest! Thank you for this!
Tipton at the height of his powers.
he could kick any guitarist's ass during this time period
funny thing is he is even older than Tony Iommi he's the real metal god if there is one imo
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
I knew I saw them...lolol. TY for this post!
Great video!!! Thanks!!!
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.
