      If anyone hasn’t seen the Hear N Aid film the bit with Dio is priceless, these two Behemoths on playback of Robs stratospheric “we’re stars” background vox , Ronnie was amazing but not hitting those notes, nobody was until Mili Matijevic (Steelheart) and these days Yannis Papadopoulos (Beast in Black) great shite!

    On the studio version, especially during the slow middle bit, he sings the lines much more, sustaining the notes with nice vibrato. When you catch live versions, the bands have been on the road for months, performing nightly, and you can hear it in Rob's voice here. He's cutting a lot of notes short to preserve his voice, probably for the high notes, for which of course, Rob is legendary.

      I actually prefer the live versions of all of their earlier stuff. I've been a huge Priest fan since I was a kid but I always thought the studio albums up through Turbo sounded too clean and processed. I enjoyed the Unleashed in the East versions and the versions on the live video from the Screaming for Vengeance tour much more than the studio versions and really enjoyed seeing them live.

      @@reppostthat's 💯 valid, I think many of the bootlegs of Jimi Hendrix sound way better than the studio version, it's a wonderful saturated, organic and grooving sound... yes even with the band missing a cue because they are always in fact 'following' Jimi... Hendrix would just kind of shrug it off and keep going.
      It's magical. He's the king of cool to me. Nobody sounded like the Jimi Hendrix experience, or even Band of Gypsys. I think if I found more Led Zeppelin bootlegs I would enjoy those equally.

    Yyyesss! The 70's indeed!! Their first album came out in 1974, not if that was the American release or British. A great story I heard that Glenn Tipton the guitar player went to Rob's (parents) house to talk to him about joining the band and could hear him practicing his vocals to a Doris Day song. Awesome! Peace 🕊️

    You should also check their version of "Diamonds and rust", originally sung by Joan Baez. On a second thought, you should definitely check Joan Baez, too, lol... especially Diamonds and rust and We shall overcome (1965 version BBC). I'm quite sure, you'll fall in love with her voice.

    victim of changes is from around 1975..robs 32 years old in this performance in 1983..already been on the road for a decade and made 8 albums at this point in his career..the studio version is really good,his voice is incredible . that whole era of judas priest rocks out..most of their best work is from 1973-1991 in my opinion.even tho their last album firepower is really good from like 2018

    This is such a cool riff, I think even Jimi Hendrix would've liked how groovy it is.
    The epitome of good 70's guitar riffs. Grinding and a little syncopated. It sounds a little like Black Sabbath, the swampy quality.

    Love learning from your videos. It paints all of these songs I've been listening to and attempting to sing all these years, in such a profoundly new light. If you're enjoying this journey down the Metal rabbit hole, might i suggest Phil Anselmo of Pantera and the song Cemetery Gates. It's a classic Groove Metal song where the guitar and vocals trade off in a truly amazing way.

    Judas Priest is one of the great bands from before the 80 ies who got their breakthrough in the start 80 ies with the album Brittish Steel...and the song Breaking the Law! Being very versatile with songs of Joan Baez (Diamond and Rust) to the new stuff you can say the Rob and the boys have made a realm of thier own masterpiece.

    It slips by so easily because it's just Flawless, but it should be noted that introduction by the twin guitars of KK Downing and Glenn Tipton is Flawless. It's like a machine but with passion. Listen to the way they change their Dynamics together the way the harmony separates from the Unison playing and then they slowly shifter Paul mutes so that the notes are muted at the same time they were a perfect metal machine

    I think it's really important to note just how difficult it was/is to project your voice into a 1980's analogue mic. You needed so much power in your voice in a space as enormous as this concert & rig to really get the effect Halford is getting here. I'm not a metal fan at all, but this is very impressive.

    His voice is impeccable. He has always been the greatest singer in Metal. This band came out in the 70's before there ever was Metal music genre.. Judas Priest was amoung the 1st Metal bands. History in making. This band paved the road for future bands and singers. Nobody can compete or compare with them/him
    I saw them live 2 weeks ago and he is in his 70's and his voice is still mint

    Hey Miss B
    Love your reaction.
    I have seen them live at the Cap Center in MD Turbo Lover tour. This was an arena probably 20k people.
    I was Jar Head went with others we had a great time.
    So much better acoustics at the Cap center. I'm a musician and this was an inspiration to me at such a young age. This is one of those bands you HAVE to have been there in order to truly appreciate not only Rob but KK and GT and the rest of the band. Honestly if you want to listen to the best album vocals in all Rob and the boyz have to offer it would be Unleashed in the East live.
    Its always a pleasure witnessing your reaction.
    Luv the variety you react too also. Would like for you to give credit to some unknowns or forgottens also ex. Randy Jackson Zebra. Talk about vocals..

    It was such a pleasure to watch the joy on your face during this track. Priest has been part of my life nearly 50 years, and I remember my first live experience with Victim of Changes. It's not hyperbole to say it changed my life. Thank you for being so open with how this track touched you. Your smile at the gong was pure sunshine, and that's how Priest has made me feel since I was a child. Beauty is beauty. I recently read Rob's second book which brought me further happiness. Thanks again, it's a pleasure to listen to folks like you breaking down the iconic works of classic metal.
