Judas Priest - Living After Midnight (Live Aid 1985) 

...and the crowd cheered when Rob personally executed the sound technician right after this song

I very recently finished reading Rob’s autobiography. He wrote that Priest were at the very height of their popularity at this time, yet it was the lowest point in his personal life. He has remained sober since ‘86.

That voice just fucking slaughters! The best metal singer ever as far as I'm concerned. Judas Priest are awesome.

One of the best singers of all time!

Judas Priest needs their own movie like the Queen

Okay who is with me on the conscious that this band needs an honorary Grammy award as well as induction into the rock and roll hall of fame the justifiably deserve it

Good rasp to Rob's voice, yet he still hits crazy high notes;& gets the crowd singing, too .

I want the 70s and 80s back😭😭😭

The most powerful voice in Rock, Metal, well music period. . .

Killer bad azz voice , Sir Rob Halford ! God I miss the 80’s !

90 degrees out and the Priest in their usual leather !

Listen to the metal god. Still listening rob

80s metal still undefeated... Legends....

From the raw power of Black Sabbath's black tar to Judas Priest's refined jet fuel vibe, metal's awesome power flies in the skies roaring in all its forms. Don't let the spirit die, keep soaring!

Learning new respect for that drummer... Hell yeah!

I always love it when the camera guy is on the wrong guitar player during the solo. :p

I had to listen to this 3 times tonight , it's so outrageous. Hard to believe this was done in the middle of the day - what a showman.

You had one job sound tech... One job...

I was there in that crowd....great performance....great memories.

Feedback technical issues aside this is the best version of living after midnight out there. The band sounds great and Halford is just completely awesome here. He looks mad cool and sounds fantastic.

Omg how great they play. It's like they are in the studio

Love that, at the crack of dawn, 90,000 people are singing “LOADED!” Many were!!👍👍

How can anyone not Love this. I Love Judas Priest & this song. 👍👍👍

A testament to any band is when they can play this good live!! Judas the best of the best👌🎶🎧

Halfords voice can carry a stadium then and now

What a lineup this band had in 1985 !! Outstanding !!

I saw Judas Priest Live at Wacken 2018 and I´ll see them at Wacken 2020 again... Rob Halford is a legend

Such a nice performance, the singer’s voice is so lively

The peak year for Judas Priest.

I don't usually like live music but he's such a vocal talent I'll make an exception with this band. Most bands can't pull it off but most don't have a one in a billion talent

Young and healthy we all miss that don't we😮💪??!?!!

Halford in his prime.

Nothing says Judas Priest like Rob Halford in leather!

The producer had no idea who Judas Priest are. He pans on KK for the solo when it is Glenn playing it.

Not only is this The Priest at their very kick arse best, but, it's now a historical document of sorts, just as the Woodstock footage was to the '70s, for such mass gatherings may never occur again. We can comfort ourselves with The Priest flying high in their leather and sweat.

I wish I existed during this era

Robs voice is still as good as 35 years ago🙏

It always struck me how halford was more macho and tougher looking than literally any of the glam metal bands of that same time period, who all basically looked like my sister. He was and is a total badass

What entertainer!!! Best metal frontman ever!!!

All the Madonna fans must have been freaking out when Judas Priest came on stage.

Glenn & kk..the worlds greatest guitarists! Miss the 80's so much. Was 20 years old 85 and everything was good..

This is why he’s the METAL GOD! 🤘

THE PRIEST IS THE METAL 🤘

For some reason I'm most impressed with Dave Holland's timekeeping here. No matter how many wrenching mic feedback squeaks there are, he keeps tappin' as if he doesn't hear them. PS. poor choice in sound manager lol.

Wow, wish I was there, must have been an awesome experience, people appear to be respectful and well behaved, couldn't put on a concert like that today.😞

What a handsome man.

Coolest moment was sitting on Rob's Firepower Harley in Prince George a few years ago. Pipes were still warm from it's spin with one of the crew in the parking lot. Second coolest moment was it being ridden on stage during the show.

I started listening to Judas Priest after watching this show and I still listen to them

I remember driving my motorbike with a Group of friends to bike rallies here around Ireland & when we would arrive we used just drink beer and have a good time listening to this band mostly as I kept requesting them to be played from the DJ 🤣 good times and the good old days with no worries. Long live Metal🔥

Got to see them live last night omg Rob Halford omg I got to see a living legend. That’s still shocking to me. It was amazing. Was singing this song on my way home

Sir Rob Halford, THE VOICE.

Philadelphia crowd loved some Priest.

JP: "How many songs do we get to play?" Live Aid: "3" JP: "8 full Marshall stacks and double bass cabs should be enough".

Priest and Rob absolutely killed it that day!

Great video with powerful music. The band looks awesome in their heyday.

Judas Priest beste Heavy Metal Band aller Zeiten👍👍👍👍👍. Unerreichbar👍👍👍👍👍

The technology wasn't what it is today. No way close. But what this video does do... it captures the essence of the concert. The sweaty hot crowd, the performance, and the energy... OH THE ENERGY that day and night it was amazing! Yes, I was one of those people jammed in there, and will never forget it. This video is perfect for the memories of a 1985 concert.

Judas made heavy metal mainstream .Great live band tooo 🤘🤘🤘🤘

I sat & watched Live Aid all day.What a performance.Even the crowd control guy in yellow @ 0:32 is Rockin’..what a day..

They played Live Aid!? Wish they were in the UK. Imagine Rob and Freddie Mercury on the stage. It would have been sheer brilliance

Sound guy: “Sound check? I don’t need to do no stinkin’ sound check!”

The mighty Priest kicking ass, taking names and Rob roaming like...a...BOSS!

Great times best concerts,hell we're old and still here 💪2024!!

I was there that day, at age 17, we were pretty big Priest fans, but all the acts were pretty damn good. Even Madonna.

UM DOS REIS DO *HEAVY METAL* LONGA VIDA JUDAS.

Always will say it my favorite band.

best band ever

Total pros!!! Playing on with all that squeal.

What a time to be alive. Wish I could've been part of it!.

The best band!!He's 38 yrs sober!!!

Long live metal, Judas Priest, my favorite band

Thanks to Queen's Performance at Wembley, not only do we forget that Live aid was international, But that Judas Priest, the metal god's, themselves were involved. That's no surprise tho. It's fucking Queen 🤘

Best show of the Live Aid.

Well, It is official Judas Priest was just announced to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame! The band has been together for over 50 years and have put out at least 18 albums and 6 live albums, they opened for Led Zepplin in the early 70's at The Day on the Green and along with Black Sabbath were the only 2 metal bands at Live Aid in the 80's. They have toured the world many times. I will never forget the first time I ever heard them was in high school and we were skipping class and someone said have you ever heard of these guys? They put in a tape of Sad Wings of Destiny and the song Victim of Changes played...and I was hooked, then I saw them live in concert for the first time a couple of years later on the British Steel tour. I have had all their albums and seen them many times. I'm so happy for them as they deserve it and everyone who has played in the band will be there including Les Binks. Congrats to Judas Priest!!! *Speaking of Live Aid this was the first time most of the world got to see them live unless you were a fan and saw them in concert. I remember it was early that Saturday like around 10 or 11am when they came on and on MTV they said after the set "Wow, it is hot out there and they all had on leather and played a hot set, don't know how they did it". One thing is for sure if you had not quite woke up yet, you were awake by the time they finished as the world had never heard a man scream like that before. Rock On!!!🎸

I was 15 when this happened but not until right now was I aware these guys played on the day.

The Metal God. Sporting a hanky, code for HEAVY S&M. Love it.

Blessed the guy who invented 'in-ear-monitors', that freaking feedback everytime Halford approached to the monitos explains the importance of new sound technologies :D
