Judas Priest 25 04 1975 Old Grey Whistle Test. Copyright owners SME Tracks: Rocka Rolla, Dream Deceiver & Deceiver. Edited in Cyberlink PowerDirector 18 with my own transitions and effects.
Ian Hill… one of the most underrated and forgotten rock bassists! He just stands back there and plays his part, grooving along but rock solid! I saw Priest in 85 and he never moved, just did his job. Totally amazing!
'79, '84, twice in '88, '91, once with Ripper '97. Three times since. Oh yeah, I do have a point. Hill's bass live is so hard hitting it will change the beat of your heart.
I am not from UK but always loved vintage BBC shows( or other UK network) , and this is one of the best recommendations and discoveries on RU-vid. If you have any other good shows from 70s I would greatly appreciate it ✌️
I wish more live TV performances were this well directed. The director obviously took a ton of notes during rehearsal and switched cameras at the exact right moments to show the exact right person during solos and whatnot.
When I Manage Tours. I have sheets for every song that list points and position for Lighting, Spots, Camera, etc. There are a couple versions including basic Tablature for thos musically inclined.. Makes it more precise when your crew size changes per show or you have to use local teamsters and such. Most places are great with good people but there are Always those shows that a local promoter tries to cut corners or save money for his pocket. Thus the Brown M&M Clauses in the Rider.. If they Read it and Followed said agreement, the bottles of water at the Airport with 1 Mt Dew and 1 Poweraid FruitPunch or whatever will be there... or whatever you add.. If they aren't then you Already know you better begin Micro Management... Great Video... And Working With FIGHT and Rob Halford for a couple shows on the FIGHT - WAR OF WORDS TOUR was An HONOR \m/.. Great Man...
It was likely just recorded and edited together in post-production so that the camera cuts were at good moments. Very few shows like this were done live for fear that rock bands would curse or make obscene gestures.
To my memory, having seen quite a few interviews with bands from the time it was actually extraordinarily austere. Two cameramen in white coats and very little else. I always found it amazing the performances that were given on OGWT, given that it was a cold empty studio. Bob Marley with Concrete Jungle, or Focus and Hocus Pocus. I guess it just mattered enough to the bands.
Dude ...I thought I was the only one who had love for Run of the Mill! Dude the drums always trip me out. John Hinch just kills the song ...check out 3:43 and on ...the drums and cymbals just breathe!!! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZuXoalKim9c.html
Actually it's Dreamer Deceiver/Deceiver, I'd actually rather listen to it than Run of The Mill, that song always was boring for me, ironic cause it's not much different than Dreamer Deceiver, it might be because Tipton's solo on the song takes an inordinate amount of time before it picks up, where as Dreamer Deceiver's solo picks up right off the bat.
@@craignorton1964 Don't forget Glenn and Rob, shit Halford then sounded like a cross between Plant and Gillan ON HELIUM, he really was incredible, I really prefer his vocals durin' the 70's to alot of his vocals afterwards, I mean Priest musically were more adventurous durin' the 70's than they were afterwards, I do love some of their 80's material, but I think the 70's was their best era musically, it may not have been financially successful, but creativity wise, it was very successful, I think the sweet spot from the 70's for Priest were the years from 77'-79'.
@@MRPERFECT_79 That's funny, actually its K.K. Rossington and Glenn Collins, 'cause Gary Collins and Alan Rossington were the two main Skynyrd guitarists.
I Saw Priest at the Manchester Hardrock with no more than 30 in attendance back in '75 on 'Heavy Night' . For me their first two LP's will always be the best!
Agreed. Saw them at the Marquee in late '75/'76 - was standing right in front of the speakers. Had never heard of them. I remember them doing The Ripper. Love the first 2 albums especially Run of The Mill and Victim of Changes. In fact don't have any other albums - As for Breaking The Law and other later stuff - well, that's just a joke IMO.
@@ottocastillo8891 I just checked out Sin After Sin, after your comment. I think my brother had it on vinyl. Anyway I wasn't that impressed with side 1 but the last four tracks are as good as I'd hope for from JP - they were never that consistent IMO. The riff on Let Us Pray is excellent. So yeah, I can see where you're coming from :)
@@paulquick8806 i like newer PRIEST too, but, the early stuff is definitely better! My absolute favorite band is MEGADETH though. I absolutely love music! It's like therapy for me!
@@grahamturner1290 Yeah, I do love some of their 80's stuff, but it just don't have the attitude and personality of their 70's output, of course its the same for most bands of this period, its just that 70's sound.
How could I have missed this??! I was raised a catholic boy in the fifties and, when I grew up, the band's name scared me as being blasfemic...Almost 70 years of age now, my eyes and mind have opened over the last 40 or so and I finally can -freed of most restrictions- listen to this awesomw band. I hate Google, but love RU-vid..
@@bruwin apparently it's al Atkins..but I think the band we all know kicked off when kk was hired..priest would have been playing at social clubs and boozers around west brom but hinchy played on the rocka rolla album..all the bands are getting old now old men but what a life...
A friend and I saw priest in either 2018 or 19 in San Antonio at the Freeman coliseum they were touring for firepower but they had their respective catalog represented. Every time they played from a specific album the cover would be displayed on the backdrop with different visual graphics and animations it was spectacular visually. They played victim of changes, deceiver and tyrant from sad wings and we went apeshit. Was sooooo good he even hit the high notes amazingly perfect!!! Fantastic show
John was my older cousin, used to play his drums from when I was 8 years old.On Saturday mornings I'd walk down to my Aunties house, as soon as the door opened I'd ask if he was in ,if he was out which he usually was ,I'd rush up to his bedroom and I'd play his drums for hours. I can remember rushing home from work to watch him on the telly this night, we were all so proud of him. Can't believe what's happened RIP John my big Cuz x
A Walsall lad . I watched his speech at Lemmys funeral and his still has his Walsall dialect. He lived in Gorway road at The Old Coach house prior to moving to the states.We would hang around on our bikes but alas never saw him!Good band,British Steel to me their best effort.Had it on red vinyl.How very 80,s!
I was listening to this album recently and was amazed how good it is. You can see where Maiden got their galloping riffs from yet they never site Priest as an influence ever!
Well, since rob halford coined rhe phrase " heavy metal", yes. :) He desrcibed it based on the sounds of nearby factories to his home. He said the music sounded like "heavy metal" being moved around. Or something like that :)
@@nobody617 Prior to that, the phrase "heavy metal thunder" was used in a book -- I think it might have been "The Naked Lunch" by William S. Burroughs (not sure what year). Also: the same phrase occurs in the Steppenwolf song "Born To Be Wild" (1969?) and I think it was borrowed from the book.
@@nobody617 I don't think the phrase was being used yet to describe a style of music at that point. Wasn't Deep Purple of the first bands to be referred to as "heavy metal?" (not sure)
Ian Hill kills it here. They were all so young and so freaking awesome. One of my first metal albums in 78 was Sad Wings. I was 12. Have been with me through life. :) The screw up at the end is so nice. Lets us little people realize they ARE human. LOL
I'm listening to Rob Halford biography and I had to look up this performance he is my all-time favorite heavy metal vocalist the band is still amazing to this day
Same. Took a break from reading at this point when Rob mentioned RU-vid. Seen this many times but it puts it all in perspective. These guys were just starting out here. Wow.
@@mythai9593 Holy crap! Really?!? Maiden's Powerslave tour in '84 with Twisted Sister opening and Priest with Krokus in '85 (or '86) on the Turbo tour with Krokus were my first and third concerts.
@@mythai9593 While on a "soul searching" 9500 mile motorcycle trip in '05, I saw them at Sturgis Bike Week. Saw Foghat and Jackyl earlier in the week which was a treat. Saw Queensryche open for Disturbed on the Friday and TS Saturday, the closing night. Must have been 1000 people watching Disturbed. Thought TS might be a bit of a letdown, and I'll bet there were no more than 150-200 watching (many had left Sturgis to head home). HOWEVER!!! TS played as though they were playing to 10,000 people in 1984 and blew me away! They also put a nod out to the crowd there to see them and played Ride To Live,Live To Ride, which I'd never heard before and was AWESOME! What a way to end my first Sturgis experience and end the first leg of my tour!
I love this era of Priest. The songs pre SFV have more of a raw pub show sound rather than the slick production that came from SFV on. Nothing wrong with slick production mind you 😉🤘
@@pmbbmp Sabbath was more of a doom type band, and Deep Purple was kind of a bluesy rock band. Judas Priest had more of a heavy metal sound even in their early beginnings.
So R A W ! No Autotune and I LOVE IT. I saw them several times in the 80's - Halford is amazing. Anyone else get a Sad Wings of Destiney meets Green Manalishi vibe to this song?
