Judas Priest- sinner- unleashed in the east version

[zg1000dru1]

The first time I heard this it was 1980. Me and three friends has just dropped some double-barrel acid. I just remember us all sitting there mezmerized and "coming to" when the song ended like we were all gone for a bit. Truly an epic Beavis and Butthead moment that I cherish recalling.

[Troubleboy1959]

When i first saw this band live in '84 they still could reproduce the "Sinner" killer guitar solos flawlessly....wowww still one of the best shows i ever saw......im too old for that now im 53 and in poor health, but man..!!! those were the days......

[Troubleboy1959]

WITHOUT QUESTION THE MOST AWESOME GUITAR SOLOS IN 1970'S CAME OFF THIS ALBUM, EVEN ECLIPSING VAN HALEN'S ERUPTION.........GLENN TIPTON WAS VERY UNDERRATED.....NOT TO MENTION KEN DOWNING ( KK)

[VK666666VK]

Este es el mejor tema, para los pecadores de la pradera...Peazo de canción. Las guitarras son el Nirvana. Llevo 32 años escuchando este pedazo de canción, y no me cansaré nunca.

Desde el minuto 3:30 es un goce perfecto...

[nmajon]

...which is funny because you're making money on ads, but you say you're not trying to profit

[EaLordOfTheDepths1]

@nmajon Hey.. this is the guy who uploaded the video.. Youtube sent me an email about putting adverts on the video, but I had long forgotten the password to this account so I could not reply in any way, I would've chosen to not put them on, but I didn't have a choice, they put them on anyways.

[maidenslayer]

Who Cares If It Has Some Overdubs It's Old News. Still One Of The Best Albums Ever.

[Manu52324]

Yes!! absolutly a masterpiece!

[fierrote]

the greatest fucking guitar distortion from 3:30 to 4:30, but this is not distortion just for the sake of it. This is distortion with a meaning.

[emersontotalyconfuse]

mind blowing!!

[calebdickenson]

every track off this album is so solid. Judas Priest back in the day was the shit.

[DwainDwight]

one of the great all time recordings!!!!!!!

[maaadddmaaaxxx1]

i saw priest in long beach.....yeah rob hits ALL notes for sure....he is the baddest

[fernominal]

Robert Halford used to be an opera singer, So he CAN hit those note!

[MrAdamcvesely]

with good big watts,it takes on whole new

[MrAdamcvesely]

my favorite version as well...thousands of times.

[jeffofx]

the biggest difference between Rob and Bruce besides Rob's incredible range is that Rob leaves it all on the stage while Bruce saves it for the next gig. Rob De Man!!!!!!!

[cadelk87]

over 25,000 views and zero dislikes. That's what I'm talkin about.

[mikexlong]

i\m not gay, but listening to judas priest and eating steak gives me a boner.

[60irons]

Fantastica!!

[ut000bs]

His steed of fury,

Eyes of fire and mane ablaze.

Hell, yeah.

[ut000bs]

After I started playing a little World of Warcraft I've thought this is a warlock's theme song.

LOL

[ut000bs]

This particular album needs to be played on an elite system with the sound cranked a quarter of the way past FULL POWER.

Sit back and listen to that guitar, man.

Damn.

[matthewme23]

 K.K.Downing is the Sir Lancelot of all that is METAL!!!

[LPcustom76]

man, all this bitching about dubs. the ban admitted most of rob's vocals and some guitar bits were redone. rest your fingers and listen to the undubbed and best live drummer EVER.... LES BINKS!!!!

[8484terry]

masterpiece...

[bunnyrocks69]

freakin loved this album- and when i seen themotes made they sounded this good- one of the best sounding bands i ever seen and this was my all time fav concert- you could feel the songs viberate inside your chest lol does that make sense?

[bunnyrocks69]

SORRY MY COMMENT HAD A TYPO-LOL

[cudaj2]

Rob Halford admitted many years later that the instruments are indeed 100% live and recorded that way actually in Tokyo, however his vocals got accidentally wiped or some kind of screw up and he had to do them again in the studio in a "concert like setting" whatever that means. Oh well it works for me, I've seen them live several times back in the early/ mid 80's and maybe not now but back then his vocals live were every bit as pristine as what he layed down in the studio.

[SugarBaby4udotcom]

I love this entire album!

Arguably the greatest live heavy metal album of all time....

[sasaduff]

i really don´t know, but last time i heard them live, for about 2 years ago .... , i´ll bet all my horses´´, no dubb about it

[bunnyrocks69]

@sasaduff totally agree

[bunnyrocks69]

hands down best concert i been to- to date,,,and they sounded exactly like this- when he it them high notes i could feel the inside of my chest vibrate,,, seen to alot of great concerts but this one made my heart PUMP (naturally lol),,,,these old judas songs never get old, im just hoping i have as good of time at rammstein in may woohoo---i love fire lol and i hear they put on a great show .. rock on everyone

[zg1000dru1]

I honestly think what gets lost in the hoopla these days of thrash metal and speed metal and death metal and whatever else is that this was done in 1979!!! For those of us who were around then, dealing with the mind-numbing last vestiges of disco, the advent of the emo-laden post punk crap, and the 90mph talentless noise of punk this album was THE HEAVIEST THING we'd ever heard. It re-defined metal plain and simple.

[mikexlong]

@zg1000dru1 it left a pretty major impression on our boys in slayer, that's for damn sure!

[cadelk87]

This is one of the greatest albums of all time, live or not. Way ahead of it's time.

[666Iluminatis666]

I LOVE THIS SOLO 3:30 AT 4:30

[crowsound]

Thers some compression on the vocals for sure, but rob is still nailing the notes. Seen priest live a few times, the standard fair for electronics, i sing my self, so I know. Still a great performance

[smilingpug]

LIVE Judas is better than studio Judas.

More Priest Down Heavy Metal.

[Hashplant47]

I saw Priest in Oakland, Ca. in the 80's, My ears ached for 3 days and the buzzing in them eventually died down but it was worth it. Loudest damn show I ever went to, almost bordering on pure distortion.

[fierrote]

@Hashplant47, hahahaha... i know what you mean. I saw them for the first time back in 1979 at the Long Beach Arena and I experienced the same thing for about 3-4 days. Then on their next World Tour they came back to Long Beach and I took my girlfriend and she complained that her ears were ringing a week later after the concert. They are for sure the most powerful band in the world.

[Glennfaw]

I've been going to Judas Priest gigs regularly since the mid 80's - overdubbed or not on this particular album, it's pretty irrelevant, they really DO sound this good live. Unquestionably one of the very best live acts I've ever seen, and I've seen a hell of a lot of first class bands in the last 40 years.

[vlredreign]

@Glennfaw Agreed. I saw them in 1982. Rob sings a bit lower in register live, but they did Sinner, and he friggin NAILED every note! Also Victim Of Changes. They kicked ass live.

[jon2xu]

hell yeah.

[idontwantohurtnobody]

we all know now its his faggit tonsil lube and his butt plug that makes him squeel like a bitch.....

[Bridge1961]

@idontwantohurtnobody

If you don't wanna hurt nobody then why make such comment ? And don't tell me now it is a joke.

[vanscoyoc]

Also known as unleashed in the studio....

[jcdolp]

Have any of you ever heard Priest in concert?? They sounded like this every time overdubbed my ass.I've seen Triumph,KISS,NUGENT,ACDC,METAL­LICA THREE TIMES AMONGST OTHERS AND THE SIX PRIEST CONCERTS BLEW THEM ALL AWAY PUT TOGETHER. ALSO SEEN FIGHT IN 94' IN A NIGHT CLUB IN CLEARWATER FLORIDA. THEYRE JUST THAT GOOD LIVE EVEN THE LAST TOUR SOUNDED AWESOME

[madmoe70]

@jcdolp I have to agree with you. I saw them in the 80's, Defenders of the faith tour and it was one of the best live shows I've ever seen. They sound great live.

[ubcphilco]

if you listen to other live recordings of this era, Rob hits all the note with no dubbing!

[rayclay2]

your only upload rocks dude~!! thx...

[eddieaxe]

It´s my favorite too. Thanks for post

[smilingpug]

Priest down heavy metal!

[RJF1966]

this was their best work ever done and it wasnt a damm record...sound was incredible

[timoiwan]

They don't sometimes call it "Unleashed in The Studio" for nothing, you know.

[romoore14]

In the early 80's if you never heard this bad-ass song...........you never ever partied..........right! Pass the doob and bong baby, KK is bad ass on this one!

[yfh10mg]

This album is one of the best live albums ever I think.I expessially like "Victim of changes".Great album!

[MegaELECTRICEYE]

LUV IT ROCK ON AND ON

[lemmy91]

Le meilleur titre du meilleur album du meilleur groupe !

[HoevdingBerseBolle]

This is an amazing album. That said, I think Rob is singing suspicously good at this one. He hits every fuc**n note on the entire album, which shouldn't be possible with this kind of songs. And he's not even close to this level on other live performances on youtube. Overdubbing? (Anyway, they are forgiven, giving the fans such a blast.)

[sighnofthetimes]

@HoevdingBerseBolle Honestly, I'm pretty sure that most of this album is overdubbed, but as you pointed out, they can easily forgiven, because it really is a kickass collection of songs.

[nwobhm38]

@sighnofthetimes - overdubbed? at that time? I really can´t belive on this. Rob Halford was just perfect at that time. No overdubs, I am sure.

[RonBeast87]

@sighnofthetimes The band themselves admitted that the vocals for this one were overdubbed latter in the studio...(Some people back in the day even called it Unleashed at the Studio!) the rest is the original live performance, I think the reason was Rob having a cold or something. But since this is such still one of the best if not the single best live album ever released I don't even care and nobody really should...Oh, and Les was in my humble opinion THE drummer, listen to his wonderful playin

[RonBeast87]

I mean the whole album, not just this song! :)

[kranen1]

@sighnofthetimes No, it's probably not overdubbed. A great singer should be able to sing better live than on record.

[MrSk1111]

@kranen1 Your crazy if you think any live albums from ANY artist of this era aren't studio recorded over-dubs. Song remains the same, Double live Gonzo, Live Boot-leg, Grateful Dead Europe 72", etc. It's just too simple to do when you are recording individual tracks live, for the purpose of recording an album. If you want definitive proof, watch "Halford live in Anaheim, august, 2010. Then watch some footage of audience recordings from Ozzfest, which was around the same time. Totally dubbed

[mart3442]

@HoevdingBerseBolle : Its a matter of record that Rob re-recorded some of the the vocals for this album. He was suffering with a heavy cold or similar when thealbum was recorded.

[Bridge1961]

@HoevdingBerseBolle

Dubbing or not (which I also think), it is unbelievable though that this soundquality has been realised in 1975, even "long" before the real heavy and speed metal movement (during the '80s) took place ?

[centuryrox]

@HoevdingBerseBolle This album may or may not be overdubbed. However, after seeing them live on several occasions, the first time being in 1980 during the British Steel tour, I can attest they sound exactly like this in concert. Probably THE best live band ever! I think my ears are still ringing from that 1980 concert! I was sitting 5 rows from the stage!

[7883wendy]

@HoevdingBerseBolle any body hear of the alternate version called priest from the east my copy had chinese lyrics

[liquifex]

@HoevdingBerseBolle It was common practice. Surprise - Live After Death, KISS Alive, anythign you can think of, was touched up in the studio and had part re-recorded. But it usually wasn't because it sucked (except for KISS alive, rofl). It was an equipment thing. Today, live gear and mixing is almost as good as studio gear, so in cases like Dream Theater, only obvious accidents (unplugged guitar buy accident from a tech) or mistakes were redone. But it IS live, just re-touched. They all are :-p

[RossSewage]

@HoevdingBerseBolle

I think that's why this album is affectionately dubbed [no pun intended] 'Unleashed in the Studio'. The music is live but all of Halford's vocals were done in the studio due to some error during the recording process.

[sasaduff]

@HoevdingBerseBolle i really don´t know, but last time i heard them live, for about 2 years ago .... , i´ll bet all my horses´´, no overdubb about it

[TheDannyhyde]

@HoevdingBerseBolle no over dubbing. just rob halford young cause ive been listnn to this since it came out.

[fraginat0r]

@HoevdingBerseBolle dope,, lol

[PAULOcbi]

@HoevdingBerseBolle I dont think there is a 'live' album out there that hasnt been cleaned up with overdubs

[kondo337]

I bought this on Vinyl in 79', I was 15 yr old this was the sickest Rock i'd heard and Tokyo Tapes was Awesome and Cheap Trick Live At Budokan, Listen to K.K IN Left Channel Yeah plus Halford, Nuts.

[ConcreteLake]

this album owns, owns, OWNS everything in existence in the universe...only classic judas priest inspires such crazy feelings in me.

[TheLuvers666]

If you want great live albums like this one then get Scorpions Tokyo Tapes, UFO's Strangers In The Night, Aerosmith's Live Bootleg and of course Triumph's Stages.

[MawBTS]

This band always has a great guitar tone

[matthewme23]

None out yet, just checked...'sin after sin' is first btw! In Feb.!!!

[matthewme23]

Go to the main Priest site [obviously...] for more!

[Mattleycrue66]

Sound quality like this on a live heavy metal album back in 1979 was practically unheard of. Just ask KISS!

[matthewme23]

@Mattleycrue66 -sound quality like this is unheard of today...this is not the best example however...sorry sighnofthetimes...but this album new on vinyl is mind-bending!!! [(tw-PRIEST fans rejoice!; They are repressing new vinyl as I write this! That's RIGHT! ALL PRIEST albums to be repressed this year, each month! Limited editions only-of course!!! Get 'em while they are still wriggling in the shrink-wrap!) Colored vinyl editions too!!!

1,000 count-numbered for each colored edition-plus...!!!

[sighnofthetimes]

Yea I have this album on vinyl, sound quality is absolutly stunning!

[smilingpug]

ACDC and Priest would have defeated the US, Russia, Germany, Japan, Italy, Morocco, St. Tropez, Mozambique, North Africa, North Virginia, and all the rest .... in WWII.

I know cuz I wuz there!

[SomRandomLoiterer189]

hot damn

[Psolara]

I saw these guys in 1979 when they opened for KISS. They blew KISS away, in my opinion. They were loud as hell, and they were touring for this album. My ears were ringing for a while after this concert.

It was funny, because the arena had weed-smoking young dudes (myself included) mixed with parents/grandparents with small children who were there for KISS. Clouds of dope smoke were everywhere. The parents/grandparents were visibly uncomfortable in the heavy-metal environment.

[Joshjeff1611]

Any one realize that in 1979 Judas Priest was touring with AC/DC. If you watch the AC/DC Let There Be Rock movie on the bill board in one of the sceens it Says AC/DC and Judas Priest. Man that would have been awsome, Rob Halford incompany and Bonn Scott, Angus, Malcome, Phil and Cliff Williams the same night that would have been awsome.

[UnchainTheNight1]

that was in paris, february of 1980

[BulletsBasketballDC]

1979 > 2000-2009

[cadelk87]

All those harmonics, feedback, and divebombs. You can tell Slayer was into this album. Could be the birth of thrash?

So fucking bad ass

[littlefuzzer]

amen to that.I used to nutts in 8th grade when halford would say"The Sinner!"..and the opening pinch harmonic would come in.I would say this album,Slayers Reign in Blood,and Ozzys Blizzaer of Oz where what defined what metal is today

[yugster78]

@cadelk87 Agreed!

[cadelk87]

@yugster78 Show No Mercy has this same feel to it. Not just thrash, it's almost NWOBHM

[fraginat0r]

@cadelk87 slayer is shit, this is fucking Judas Priest, miss us with that crap

[cadelk87]

@fraginat0r in 1987 - I saw Priest and Slayer on the same bill. Best concert of my life. I agree that Slayer's new crap is shit, but Slayer's first 2 albums are fucking top shelf. Go listen to them NOW

[duckslayer999]

I saw them right after this album get to feel the real priest on this album

CLASSIC

[wheelingdog]

This is THE greatest live album of all time!!!! AC/DC If You Want Blood close second!!

[RushinRoganx]

We have the same taste wheelingdog, only i put them the other way round.

[kyuss4me]

Arguably the greatest... I have to add Pantera "101 Proof", The Who "Live at Leeds", BOC "Extraterrestrial Live", Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush "Live", Jimi Hendrix "Band of Gypsies", Neil Young & Crazy Horse "Live Rust", Scorpions "Tokyo Tapes", Iron Maiden "Maiden Japan" to the list of ass kicking live albums.

[kyuss4me]

How could I forget Ozzy Osbourne "Speak of the Devil", Foghat "Live", Rush "Exit Stage Left", Whitesnake "Live in the Heart of the City"..... enough now there are just too many killer live albums to mention.... Wore out a few stylus on Unleashed though!

[bucball37]

obituary "back from the dead' also

[demonlo]

@kyuss4me check out UFO's strangers in the night and thin lizzy's live and dangerous

[kyuss4me]

Yeah.... I love those too...hehheh thanks for reminding me!!!!! There is just something about a good live album...Motorhead "No Sleep till Hammersmith" is a good one I listened to just recently too.

[theZodiacDigital]

iced earth - alive in athens and iron maiden - live after death

[tylerkinder]

@kyuss4me AC/DC if you want blood, UFO strangers in the night, Rolling Stones get yer ya-ya's out

[yugster78]

@kyuss4me Add Lynyrd Skynyrd's One More from the Road, most underated live album ever all of there definative versions of there best songs are on there.

[kyuss4me]

@yugster78 Yeah, love that T is for Texas! Recently listened to an old fav live album of Little Feat Waiting for Columbus pretty good shit there too

[ut000bs]

@yugster78 Another awesome album, for sure. Sometimes you run across an album and listen to it once and it sticks with you for the rest of your life. Unleashed in the East was one for me and One More from the Road was another.

[cliffthelightning]

@kyuss4me The fact you know Boc shows you know music

[kyuss4me]

@cliffthelightning thanks bro, I like to think I know a bit at least ... seen BOC live in 1980 or 81 Fire of Unknown Origin tour.

[Cryptorchild92]

@kyuss4me Dont forget Motorhead live at hammersmith and Deep purple Made in Japan, both are stellar live albums... :D \m/

[kyuss4me]

@Cryptorchild92 Aren't they though! I Especially love No Sleep Till Hammersmith... There is just something about a good live album...just picked up The Guess Who Live at The Paramount...Killer!!

[mik1641]

I had this album! This was always my favorite song.I love how they take it down a few notches during the interlude.Great snare drum sound!

[mik1641]

I have to correct myself.Victim Of Changes is the track with the really cool interlude.This is still my second fav from the album though!

[1vivelibre]

It´s great to be hear this album in my PC

Priest forever

[Metalhead4569]

Pwnage of an epic variety.

[gnickyboy]

definitive version....

[zephir332]

5/5. great!
