Judas Priest - Diamonds and Rust (live in 1978) (with audio overdubbed for hopes of enhancement)

(READ THIS BE4 COMMENTING)
This is my last video for this year (didn't do anything much this year anyway lol), and I think it is pretty much a disaster. I thought of enhancing the audio of this vintage video with the (apparently) same audio from my Nostradamus album, track 7, Diamonds and Rust(live). However from 1:50 onwards the video goes out of sync with the audio. Please take no offense people, I was really mad at myself too. I'll just upload it here since it has been done, there are good and bad videos all over on Youtube, this is just another terrible video.

The original video can be viewed here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2R7tWil0TKU

This is the description of the dubbed audio from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VARTDNI04No

Unleashed in the East is Judas Priest's first live album, recorded live in Tokyo, Japan during the Hell Bent for Leather tour in 1979. They released it in October 1979.

This was the first of their albums to have Tom Allom as their producer: he would produce all subsequent albums up to, and including, 1988's Ram It Down. It was also their first album to reach the US Top 100, something that all of their subsequent studio albums would equal.


There have been many rumours about the album's authenticity as a "live" recording over the years, with claims that most, if not all, of Rob Halford's vocal tracks were overdubbed in the studio, along with the guitar tracks of Glenn Tipton and K.K. Downing. In particular, a popular rumour has it that the album was completely recorded in the studio, and cleverly engineered to sound like a "live" recording. Tipton has denied these claims, admitting, however, that some of Halford's vocals were "touched up" in the studio as his performance was affected by flu during the tour, along with "a couple" of guitar parts, hence the rumours about the album which some people jokingly refer to as "Unleashed In The Studio". However, bootlegs and/or radio broadcasts from this and other tours would indicate that Priest had no difficulty 'cutting it' live. There was also a rumour that the cover photo was taken in The Queensway Hall, Dunstable, England.

The album was reissued on CD in 2001 with four bonus tracks, being "Rock Forever", "Delivering the Goods", "Hell Bent for Leather" and "Starbreaker". Three of these were from Hell Bent for Leather(US)/ Killing Machine (RoW), their then-current album, which was not well-represented on the original release.

These four tracks were previously available on the Japanese pressing of the album (titled Priest in the East and having the same track-list as the remaster), and were recorded at the same time as the original nine tracks. Additionally, two more songs were recorded from the same concerts but were only available as B-sides on various singles: "Evil Fantasies" was on the "Living After Midnight" 12 inch, along with "Delivering the Goods". Fan favourite "Beyond The Realms of Death" was pressed with "Rock Forever" and "Hell Bent for Leather" on a special 3 track live EP that came with initial UK pressings of "Unleashed In The East". There is also a 1979 UK cassette version with 12 songs: "Delivering the Goods", "Hell Bent for Leather" and "Beyond the Realms of Death" plus the original 9 tracks.

All the extra songs are fully produced, and are of the same quality as the original nine tracks. Certain bootlegs have turned up with all fifteen tracks put in the original setlist order, to better reflect the actual concerts of the 1979 tour (for the record, all the Unleashed in the East recordings were taken from 2 shows: Feb 13th and 15th, 1979). Two more songs, "White Heat, Red Hot" and "Take on the World" were performed but never officially recorded.

However, the "Take On the World" 12 inch single, released in late 1978, included a live version of "White Heat, Red Hot" recorded at the Agora Ballroom in Cleveland, Ohio on May 31, 1978 (on the Stained Class Tour). Live versions of "Beyond the Realms of Death" and "Starbreaker" recorded from the same 1978 Cleveland show were released as b-sides to the "Evening Star" 7 inch single and "Take on the World" 12 inch single, respectively. These tracks are available on the Priest, Live and Rare CD. They are not the same versions as on Unleashed in the East. The band was possibly trying to avoid repetition by not including songs on the official full-length live album that were already available as live versions on singles.

Thank you ThrashHard08 and Evil55 for sharing your respective stuff.

MOST OF ALL MY SINCERE APOLOGIES FOR RUINING SUCH A GREAT VIDEO.
