MASTERUDY Castillo You sure? Looks more like the better broadcast TV analog cameras of the period to me. I don't notice any film grain at all. But that's just nit picking.
***** What? 1983 had much higher audio quality than 2015. Source material is crap in 2015, and home audio reproduction is garbage. In 1983, many houses had at least a quality receiver and a decent set of loudspeakers.
BillyBob Hammer The problem is when technology got cheaper to produce. Nowadays you just need to know what to buy. In recorded music, the usual problem is no dynamics because people think compression is actually a good thing. Even with modern releases, depending on what you get, the vinyl versions haven't been touched with that modern nonsense. But that's the fault of the people that think compression is actually a good thing, the same audio could have been put on cd but they don't want it that way. :/ I believe koolaidman9922 said this is good quality for 1983 compared to less professional live videos from this time. I'd love for Metallica shows from this year to be recorded like this.
I was 17 years old when this was shot and I was hanging onto the rail at the front of the stage. The day was a total roaster...with the only shade on that field being at the front of the stage (under the lighting gantry) or in the shadow of the control booth off in the distance. The air hung heavy with the smell of dust, heat, suntan oil and pot. I had forgotten just how good some of the bands that played this show sounded live...and how vivid everything was. We all knew that Rob was gay back then, even though he wasn't "out". It didn't matter. He kicked ass then and kicks ass now. Thanks for posting this! It's an awesome memory that came flooding back in while watching it!
Setlist: 0:34 Heading out to the highway 4:55 Metal Gods 9:27 Breaking the law 12:31 You got another thing comin' 22:26 motorcycle :D 22:53 Hell bent for leather 27:30 Diamonds and Rust 31:08 Victim of Changes Enjoy :D
So glad I was going to concerts back then. Besides all the scrappy 80s music, we had the best Heavy Metal concerts...Maiden, Priest, Saxon, Metallica , Ozzy, Dio,Motoelrhead all in their prime...Best time to be alive
Larga vida al sacerdote d Judas... D lo mejor del heavy metal... Del mundo entero... Saludos a toda la banda d México y del mundo q les gusta el sacerdote... X q a un servidor.. le encanta... Desde león Guanajuato México!!!!..
Going to Chicago May 1 to see them at Rosemont theater Illinois and then going to Kalamazoo Michigan to see them at the event events wing center. Oh yeah baby Judas Priest forever flying in from California you got that right?
This is one of the best live priest I've ever seen. Wow, top shape vocals, tight as hell bass and beat and rocking guitars...Priest at their prime! Thanks for sharing! 1: Heading out to the highway 2: Metal Gods 3: Breaking the law 4: You've got another thing coming 5: Hell bent for leather 6: Diamonds and rust 7: Victim of changes
See children? They are really able to play the music live what they recorded on their albums! Nothing too fancy, just pure and awesome heavy metal! They are the real musicians, not the ones you are worshiping so badly these days... And no, I'm not an old fella, just someone, who love real music...
earlier today i watched a video of priest 2014 victim of changes,... the quality sucked, but if you listen, you can still hear rob hitting some of those notes!!....throw bieber in a mosh pit!!
Warren552011 Thanks! And yes, I was not meant Judas Priest used autotune. They are just talented musicians, thats what they did/do for a living. These days, no matter if you have no talent, but you have protection, you can become a wealthy man. But it is just because of the stupidity of people, that helps these musicians.
He's fking Rob Halford for fux sake. Age six yet inevitable, for all ov us. As long as he continues to grace every stage on Earth, he gives his all against all adversity. Give him your respect.
I was at this concert at Glen Helen park in San Berdo.... Priest was incredible, but I thought the Scorpions absolutely killed it. That being said, was the best Cali concert I had ever seen... and I saw Deep Purple on their Perfect Stranger Reunion tour in Long Beach...
Damn! That's an amazing concert lineup. The only thing that would have made it better for me would have been seeing Iron Maiden when Paul Di'anno was in his prime. Bruce did some truly amazing stuff and the band was more commercially successful during his tenure, but I still prefer Paul.
Bill Mason I love many of their songs during Paul's days as front man, but I have to say that Bruce is a better singer IMO. There was a live album--Live Killers, I think--that was just awesome!
Sigh Co. Bassist I can totally respect opinions on both sides of the coin regarding Iron Maiden front men. My preference for Paul has a lot to do with the punk element the band had during his tenure. I liked the rougher edge he brought to their music and presentation. Both were great front men though, and Bruce has aged much more gracefully.
Judas Priest always sound great live. I've seen them over the last four decades and they don't disappoint. Was at this show too and man was it hot that Memorial Day weekend over thirty years ago.
I goota know brother! Was this recorded at the US Festival in San Bernardino...if so I was therf for that 3 day,Woodstock West.😊 But, was the Priest there? And, was this that recording???😊🎉👍✌️♥️🎼🎶🎵

This was recorded in 1983.! I believe that I was there? I can't find out if it was recorded in the San Bernardino mountains?? It sure looks like it! It was the US festival in 1983. Called Woodstock West! I was there!!!! 3 days! I just can't remember if the Priest was there? And, this video Rocks Metal!!!! The Priests Rocks!!!!!!👍♥️🎼✌️😀🎉.......

I was there on this Sunday only. Lived in Highland CA at the time. About 13 miles away from Devore, where this all happened. I was 19 years old, They opened with Hellion / Electric eye and then right into riding on the wind and Heading out to the Highway so this isn’t exactly the full set. But thanks for posting . Order of appearance was Quiet Riot, Motley Crue, Ozzy(first show with Jake) Judas Priest, Triumph, Scorpions and Van Halen. 20 bucks per ticket. Still have two T-shirts and my ticket stub. They eventually built a concert venue on the same spot that opened under the name Blockbuster Pavilion (as in the video rental store) I saw many shows there including Ozzfests, one with Ozzy and another with Sabbath until I left CA in 2005. Good times.
Grew up in Chicago started seeing Judas Priest in 1976 sad wings of Destiny tour all the way through now currently I live in the city of Angels beautiful California going to see them in Chicago on May 1 at the Rosemont theater, invincible shield tour and going to Kalamazoo Michigan on May 4 to see them as well. Long live Judas Priest, my friend. Oh yeah, the worlds greatest metal band ever yes oh yeah.
Может быть не правилен ваш перевод на русский язык,, зажечь священника,, ... Послушайте российскую группу Ария, до 2001 года, норм тема, может быть откроете что-то новое для себя.
all these men that hate on this band because Rob is gay .. are in the Closet !! Who cares about the sexual choice of anyone that Rocks like Priest!!!!! or anyone else .......
I saw JP in Vancouver 1979, Seattle 1981 and Toronto in October 1982. Absolute heavy metal brilliance, they and Van Halen were the two best bands in the world in the early '80's. Yes that's Dave Holland on drums here.
4☆20☆2024. Just excellence in synchronicity. Better live than the recorded versións. Dave Holland beating on the drums, K.K. and Glenn in unison and Rob Halford prowling on the stage hitting every note on cue and in tone. 4☆20☆2024
Well, that was way back in fkng 1983. Up to now I am still waiting for any other people/bands to bring around such sort of music, feelings, power and dedication! Now it's up to you each individual, after 40 years, to BREAK the ....
00:36 Heading Out To The higway 04:57 Metal Gods 09:25 Breaking The Law 12:26 You've Got Another Thing Comin 23:00 Hell Bent For Leather 27:30 Diamonds & Rust 31:08 Victim of Changes
Saw this concert in a small, intimate arena. It was INTENSE. When they rolled the motorcycle out, it shook the whole building, and nobody could breathe. So we lit out lighters.
This band is the fondation of heavy metal as we know it today. Yeah, the lead singer is gay but no one cares because he kicks ass and doesn't shove his sexuality in anyones face! Who fucking cares ??!!
I saw these dudes back then on their Screaming tour and it was one of the top 3 loudest and clear concerts I've been to in my life.AC-DC is another one along with Pink Floyd.The bass was just shakin your body and every hit of the bass drum felt like you were getting smacked, it was fantastic. My ears rang for a whole day after that.
This is the most insane shit I've ever read. Literally any of his contemporaries are better. This is such mediocre metal that does not stand the test of time.
He's one of the top five for sure, but greatest? Come on. You didn't hear Dio or Bruce Dickinson not staying in tune. Halford misses the note multiple times during one song.
1. Heading Out To The Highway 2. Metal Gods 3. Breaking The Law 4. You've Got Another Thing Comin' 5. Hell Bent For Leather 6. Diamonds And Rust 7. Victim of changes this is metal perfection.. down the hats to Metal Gods!!!
I was there on Heavy Metal Sunday, Memorial Day Weekend 1983. Man I was 17 years old at the time, where does the time go? It was a GREAT experience to have been at the "US" Festival '83. ROCK ON!!!!
Sounds and musicians from late 60's through mid 80's will never be outdone. So much talent on the road full time - man did they ever learn their chops! And the cream just kept rising. Keep trying youngsters the bar has been set VERY high!
Amazing quality for a video from over 30 years ago. This band just rocked it hard, would love to have a time machine and go to this show :) Because you can't see anything like this ion 2015 anymore.
Judas Priest is a real classic heavy metal band, I fucking love these guys! Never getting tired of listening to good old JP! Rob is a Metal God, and will always be! When im watching these live sets, I want so badly to invent a time machine to go back in time just to see these magnificent rockers to do what they love most: TO ROCK THE WORLD!
They should've played later in the day, with the Scorpions. Moved VanHalen out of the headliner spot, made Judas Priest and The Scorpions closing acts. Now, it's hotter than hell, the sun is in the eyes of the crowd. Good time for the VanHalen clown show. Let the bands that came to play on the highest level have the better night spots!
I agree, VH was wasted by the time they finally hit the stage and people were filing out in a hurry. The Scorps, Priest and Triumph all blew Van Halen away.
marshjvm I saw VH in my hometown, David Lee Roth only sang 1/2 the lyrics & not always in synch with the music. That's why I will always give credit to bands that put effort into their live show. Queen at Live Aid, another band that showed up to deliver!
This not the full show. The complete setlist is this: The Hellion Electric Eye Riding on the Wind Heading Out to the Highway Metal Gods Breaking the Law Diamonds & Rust (Joan Baez cover) Victim of Changes Living After Midnight The Green Manalishi (With the Two Pronged Crown) (Fleetwood Mac cover) Screaming for Vengeance You've Got Another Thing Comin' Hell Bent for Leather
