 Priest at it's Absolute Best! May 12, 2008

I've been listening to Priest since 1978, that's 30 years for all of you mathematically challenged dime-store critics. For all of you discounting this CD and the phenomenal DVD of the same recording, you obviously don't know what you're talking about. The song selection is great as is the energy and the production value. Anyone else looking to buy this CD/DVD, please disregard any and all of the negative reviews. The DVD is the best DVD I own (i.e Led Zeppelin, Motley Crue, Cinderella, Ratt, etc.) such that I want the CD to listen to while driving.
 VERY GOOD. January 30, 2008

THIS IS A VERY GOOD LIVE ALBUM BY JUDAS PRIEST, JUDAS HAS BETTER LIVE ALBUM THAN THAT, FOR EXEMPLE: MELTDOWN LIVE 98.
Solid Live album of Priest's 80's material September 22, 2007

Priest Live is a good release and includes most of the bands best songs from the 80's. I know a lot of people are down on this album as they consider it the Turbo era release and point towards the flashy costumes and big hair the band sported for this tour. However, the playing is fantastic. The vocals incredible and there are many songs from British Steel, Screaming For Vengence, and Defenders of the Faith to rock out to. Also, I always liked Turbo more then most other Priest fans and the opening with Out In The Cold was to me unique and brilliant as Priest showed they didn't follow the mold for bands of its genre and era and had the balls to open a show with a Ballad.
 A couple of great moments make it worth owning... February 5, 2007

The decision of whether to buy this one or not depends largely upon how much value you want for your money. When I need a "Priest Fix" I usually head straight for "Victim Of Changes" from "Unleashed In The East." With "Priest...Live" I think you'll find a consensus among the reviewers here that a live document of the "Turbo" tour adds up to a big "so what"...so...what DO you get? For one, I like the version of "Electric Eye" because Halford really spits out the lyrics with venom. "Living After Midnight" is solid, even though it may not be a "career best" performance of the song. "You've Got Another Thing Comin'" slows down a bit for me with Halford's "I want four more big ones" sing-along shtick at the end, but that's what they did onstage, and it's a live version, so that's what you get. I put "Electric Eye" and "Living After Midnight" on my Judas Priest mix CD, which includes tracks from every album from "Unleashed" to "Painkiller," so I feel like I got my money's worth. I gave the CD 3 stars but it's probably closer to two and a half.
Has their big hits but lacks passion January 22, 2007

Released in 1987, Priest...Live! is Judas Priest's second live album, following 1979's Unleashed in the East. While that album was recorded when the band was still hungry and had yet to achieve worldwide success, Priest...Live! shows a band on the downslide. During the time between, the band had achieved their greatest success while releasing albums of varying quality as the classic releases British Steel and Screaming for Vengeance were countered by the uneven albums Point of Entry and Turbo. The energy that made Unleashed in the East so exciting rarely surfaces here as the songs differ little from the originals except for an occasional guitar fill or Rob Halford scream. The release does contain their most popular songs from the `80s such as "Metal Gods", "Breaking the Law", "Electric Eye", "Heading Out to the Highway", "The Sentinel", "Some Heads Are Gonna Roll", and the hits "Living After Midnight" and "You've Got Another Thing Comin'." Other tracks such as the mid-tempo "Love Bites" and the relentless tracks "Screaming for Vengeance" and "Freewheel Burning" are also very good. However, it's the inclusion of 5 songs from the aforementioned Turbo album that hurts the track listing. While "Rock You All Around The World" is a good anthem and "Turbo Lover" and "Out in the Cold" are okay, none of the songs on that release touch the other songs on this album, even on the reissued version. Even more disturbing is the inclusion of their corniest song ever in "Parental Guidance" while the excellent "Locked In" is not included. No more than two songs should have been included from Turbo as they have so many better songs that should have made the cut like "Desert Plains", "Bloodstone", "United", and "(Take These) Chains." All told, Priest...Live! is similar to AC/DC's 1992 release, Live, in that while it contains their most popular songs, it would have been better if the songs were performed with more passion and had a better song list.
