This DVD captures Judas Priest at their best. My brother and I caught them live in Toronto Canada for their 1984 tour (still have the original concert stubs!)
A must have for any Judas Priest fan. Just ordered Electric Eye DVD from Amazon.com. My brother bought it brand new and called me to tell me it is awesome!
No hype. No big stage production. Just "IN YOUR FACE" Priest at their very best. The footage is very raw and it feels like the God's of Heavy Metal are in your living room.
Rob's voice is awesome. He also looks like he is having fun.
If you like huge stage productions, pyro, and fancy lighting,
you ain't gettin' it from this video. This DVD concentrates on
the music and the band delivers with a "VENGANCE."
This is my favorite concert video of all time!!!
This is the show that was broadcast on MTV in the 80's. It was shot in Memphis, TN (I was there) and is a good document of Priest from that era. Well shot with multiple cameras and good sound. It's already been released in the Metalogy box set, but if you don't have that, it's worth buying now that it's available on it's own.
I saw this tour 24 years ago and it brought me right back. My only complaint is with the audio. If you're into guitars you probably favor Tipton over Downing. The audio on this DVD is mixed such that KK's guitar is almost always overpowering Glenn's. That's quite a big loss. I have a bootleg of this concert on VHS and the audio is fine. Not sure what happened here. It's still a great show and if you were there when it happened or just love Priest circa 1982 it's worth it, just know what you're getting.
I'm not a Priest fan in the longtime collector or knowledgable sense. So, I'm not a purist. So I can give a relatively objective view.
That being said, apart from one song where the guitars were a little low, the mix seemed fine despite some reviewers complaints.
The band rocked it, totally unleashed style. I mean, it felt really good to hear some good old fashioned guitar rock from arguably one of the best albums, Screaming for Vengence, if not one of their prime eras.
Long Live, Judas Priest, the Metal Gods!!
