Judas Priest - Mother Sun

[bubbatha]

I wish that they would record and release this.

[Stainedclass78]

I wonder if they ever recorded this properly, as I'd l=ike to hear it if so. If not, I'd like to hear them re-record it. Priest in the 70's :) :) :) :) :)

[bambideer747]

I was at this festival and watching JP at the time, but I would never have remembered this tune. Incredible! Thanks!

[beakakos]

[beakakos]

thnx guys this a wonderful piece of art i wish that they had made it in studio and released at least as a bonus track like "prisoner of your eyes" but i like it that way thanks for post and the links to download the hole show :)

[jackurth]

The correct songname is "Father Mother Son", by the way!

I had no idea this existed, and it is sad to see I was so much the poorer for it!

PRIEST's 70s period was their best, most consistent one, definitely.

Do you happen to have other such recordings?

[Metallian]

The solo isn't that bad either. A rather nice tune really. I've actualy heard about this song for ages but this is the first time I hear it. It is exciting to hear an old song from your favourite band for the very first time, espesialy a live version from 34 years ago!

[barlowns]

I love this song! Wish it was done in the studio. I love everything Judas Priest, but I must admit, I love everything pre-British Steel an eensy bit more...just my preference. I think they are 2 different metals. They took hard rock like Queen, (early) Wishbone Ash, and Budgie and added an evil edge, spawning a new metal....they later joined their "metal children" in what it is today.  You can't beat the sonic originality of this early stuff though!

[Fia10]

This is not all, my version has 9:30

[jjjxxx777]

Well, we sure would like to hear your version! Of course, the rest of the song as well.

[Fia10]

Allright, I will upload it...

[DaveThrashManiac]

I like it, full of passion song!

[hornraiser]

note: glenn is singing the second, counter lead vocal part. that alone is worth price of admission. i'll be there is a studio recording of this somewhere in the priest vaults.

[JoshStargazer]

I would kill to hear the Slough '75 songs. Can someone possibly post them?

[Rogasoukidan]

whats slough 75??

[SonRegal]

@JoshStargazer i just posted the Slough version of mother sun on my account

[phcmcfc]

brilliant song, i think they might have only ever done it live,but i don't know. i got the bootleg, tracks are; victim of changes,dreamer deceiver,deceiver,the ripper,father mother son,island of domination,genocide(intro)/roc­ka rolla 22.8.75the bootleg also has 4 songs done in slough on 11.10.75(victim of changes,dreamer deceiver,deceiver and the ripper.could be ultra rare i think.treasured gem as i now only have it on minidisc.

[fkingcorp]

where did you get this bootleq?!?!??!?!?!!?

[Mindcrimewithin]

This would've fit on Rocka Rolla but I didn't shit on me hearing it 'cause it's not that exceptional. Qualitywise it's close to Epitaph, too. Good, but nothing special. But as a novelty fact, it's nice. An unreleased JP original. I suppose it's not a cover. And yes, this comes from a fan, but I'm not that impressed with this one. There is a reason why they left it untouched.

[deargdoomster]

So it's only me then.

Eh, what you gonna do.

[jut666]

After seeing them the other night I'm glad they never played or recorded this

[deargdoomster]

This is a fucking disgrace! How in the name of SATAN was this one never recorded in the studio? I don't know if I'm going crazy here (you might as well let me know), but I think this one is possibly one of the very best songs this band ever wrote! Damn it, wasn't there any room for it in "Rocka Rolla", even in "Sad Wings of Destiny"? We have to do something here people, we have to figure out a way to reach them and request that they record it, or begin to play it live, I don't know, something...

[jjjxxx777]

Real funny penis head!

[valehathar]

thanx thanx thanx

[Gina69]

I'VE LOOKING FOR THIS SONG ALL MY LIFE SINCE I KNEW IT BY THE RE-RELEASED CDS... THAT I DON'T OWN.

SO...

THANK YOU, MAN.

=D

I'm a believer in the faith of Judas Priest so long time ago...

thank you again T.T

I don't even realized that I finally found what I've looking for.

[jjjxxx777]

This is not on the Remastered CD's or Metalogy for that matter!

[Rayman3424]

The song is called Father,Mother,Son not Mother Sun

[lt53666]

Mother Sun

[djkam27]

Excellent song, thanks!

[Lumberjack4591]

it just sorta ends

[javagirl48]

No this song is not "them" today, but it was "them" in 1975. I love this song! It sounds very british. Maybe something you would hear minstrels playing...Haha! Too funny, but I do love this. I wish they would record it somewhere along with any other old goodies. These guys are so versatile and awesome! The Priest beast is tops.

[jackurth]

The correct songname is "Father Mother Son", by the way!

[NorthWaves]

Thanx! A very old Queen like song.

[bessadale]

Queen was definitely a MAJOR influence in Judas Priest's music back then. I think it culminated in the "Sin After Sin" album, "Call For The Priest" has a Brian May-esque intro and "Sinner" can be considered a Queen song on steroids!

[PriestTestament]

I never really thought about it but your exactly right! Sin After Sin does remind me a lot of Queen. Anyway, Priest needs to officially release this song! \m/ \m/

[spapadimi]

I have waited years to hear this almost mythical tune.

I has grown in size over the years to a full on obsession of Priest fans.

I see why it was never recorded.

I love the Priest, but this song is not really "them".

[JonasBye123]

Of course it was them! It would've fitted RIGHT in on Rocka Rolla!

[valehathar]

well said!

[AscendentInLeo]

Awesome Dude
