Beyond The Realms Of Death

[@candian75]

Man Halford has quite possibly one of the best voices in the business

[@neoxmetal]

[@skadi05]

great song,great video,great moment for heavy metal,great band!!!Judas rules!!

[@MarkyMarc78]

A great performance, I'm really lost for words. Especially the vocals are so fucking intense!

[@blackk4694]

Damn, Glenn even nailed that harmonic at the end of the solo. Classic. Rob's singing is unreal.

[@jericho667]

despite the bad quality this is one of the best versions i've seen!

[@HeviRane]

STARIIIING INTO THE SPACE! - EPIC!

[@el_rubens]

Les Binks on drums, awesome!!!!

[@pitdog34]

Kicks my ass every time I play this song!! If you can't feel this songs' turmoil, you have no pulse.

[@MartyKane217]

Even with the bad sound and video this song rocks! There's almost nothing I'd rather listen to.

[@Glamosapien]

[@ДеревяннаяДверь-э2г]

Восхитительно!!!78 - лучшее время Прист!!!

[@SINAFTERSIN666]

[@theskullkid72]

My Favorite Judas Priest Song

[@muskymod]

I saw this tour and it fuckin' rocked!.....bought tix the same nite of the show and sat in the 8th row!....kicked all forms of ass!

[@warminator1091]

"Yeah! I've left the world behind I'm safe here in my mind Free to speak with my own kind This is my life, this is my life I'll decide not you" Discribes exactly my life.

[@liljoe31]

challenge anyone to listen to this and not get chills. a classic.

[@hovogliadileggere]

solo of this song is marvelous

[@pagiodrk]

No sabia que Halford podia subirse tan alto, que voz, ese tipo me hace sentir que no soy nada, definitivamente nada. Es un Dios, Judas son los dioses del Rock, ayer, hoy y siempre lo seran.

[@RancidSwine]

ever watched starbreaker or exciter from this concert? I can't believe how he manages to sing those songs perfectly live. Halford taught God how to sing

[@truthseeker508]

Stop comparing Judas Priest with anything,nothing can compare. This song is extremely beautiful

[@dam4762]

It`s phuckin great to see Halford in his prime. It`s worth the very average video to hear the Metal Gods from iver 30 years ago. Major props to Evil 55 for posting it.

[@obscurebandfan]

Great to see live vids of Priest in their "pre-stereotypical metal band" days.

[@MaxGroot3DS]

This was uplouded on my 12th birthday

[@CWA12]

What a GEM!

[@L4MD4]

Halford's voice was so amazing back when he was young and fresh.

[@XionLuis]

time is relentless. Look at yourself today, compared to the day you post this comment, 5 years ago... The sad truth, my friend.

[@jolup1]

@@XionLuis Ironic seeing that this comment is now 5 years old

[@carlhungus00]

I remember a long time ago seeing these future metal gods open for Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush in Fresno, CA. Nobody knew who they were. They just came on stage and did what you see here and just stunned everybody. Nobody walked out of there not a converted Priest fan. I remember going to Tower Records and asking about them and they didnt even have an LP to sell. Not until Hell Bent For Leather was released did I see Stained Class even show up on the shelves.

[@hockeydude634]

@neutonik hes more then that......hes to be remembered for ever 1000s of years from now and tell our kids and grandkids about judas priest and generations on so no body ever forgets about him

[@corm1000]

God, this is good, I too am of the belief that the 1970s was priests best time. There was so much meaning to all these songs. Makes me wonder how much of an issue euthanasia was in the 1970s. Asuming that is what this song is about. Glenn's solo is also awesome, this may be his best although he has so many good ones.

[@MepProductions]

sick song, sick version, all the right notes.

[@xPIMPINROCKYSxMOMx]

ICON!

[@ROCKSOLID36]

awesome

[@jornybear]

Classic!!!

[@kingdavid64]

The first Priest album I ever heard ... probably best song besides the classic "Saints In Hell".

[@Conquest13]

back in the rob with hair days...classic

[@mytoob77]

Agreed. Not to mention the camera work is deplorable. Yet, I'd buy this in a heartbeat if I could find it.

[@ironrojo]

@TurboThrash I Agree. It´s a brilliant master piece. Fucking awesome. And this performance was out of this world. LOVE IT!!!

[@RASe4ek]

Metal Gods!

[@MetallianDefender]

I've never heard or read of this accusation, but thanks for the info.Yeah, Tipton's solo is Classic, but I also enjoy KK's lead near the end.

[@JpPainkiller]

Screech Master

[@Tpratesbh]

Fuc**ng perfect! Tipton is divine and Halford is a god among men.

[@fluffyusa]

if you could make out the video, a cross between queen or bowie. halford one of the greatest voice from the heavy metal world, awesome solo work and song.

[@tourdeforce17]

@omersy92 i think this IS their best track- that solo by glenn is mindblowing.

[@andrelias]

hehe, anyone in metal scene refused to see it at that time, but I think music is what matters. I was disapointed when I first knew, but after I had to accept, 'cause I just couldn't let to like their music. Same happened about Queen

[@andrewjjhamilton1]

yeah, evil55, nice one, man.

[@noiseruption]

@corm1000 Priest needs to play in it's entirety the Sad Wings/ Sin after Sin records live, i think that would be great.

[@Filpiovano]

I would kill to have seen this show

[@EJoplinxx]

@nri222 he fucking does! I think we are all confused due to the lack of LEATHER baby! Gonna see them in Dallas in Oct....... Priest Lives ON!!!!!!

[@ToyGunnTube]

"Great to see live vids of Priest in their "pre-stereotypical metal band" days." I find that statement funny due to the fact the "stereotype" is based on and was created by Judas Priest.(-: \m/ Spinal Tap is basically a Judas Priest parody. Videos like this is where I can really see them blending the sounds of Zepplin and Sabbath with the visuals and choreography of British glam rock. It is amazing how much they pioneered as far as what heavy metal evolved in to.

[@hdqcb99]

Memories - I had this as a B-side to the 12 inch single of Evening Star in clear vinyl - played it 100's of times - shame about the poor audio quality or do I need a new PC ?

[@RancidSwine]

gay or not, Priest and British Steel was the beginning of the new, real definition of heavy metal, as said. this song owns, Halford, Downing, Tipton and all other members.. I totally agree with you:b

[@scorpiistar]

well that explains his inexplicable high notes.....!

[@roppi]

interesting quality

[@ferrreira]

Hmm, I think you should listen with more attention. The changes in the pace of the song, the theatricality, the dynamics, all this reminds Queen's early albums. Listen to some other songs like "Call For The Priest" or "Sinner" and you will hear a strong Queen influence.

[@seventhsamuel]

What was KK's gear setup, his tone was great!

[@Acktheleone333]

Now called a "By-Gone" Era.

[@speednecromancer666]

BEST FUCKIN METAL BALLAD EVER!!

[@rattlehead85]

This Song and above all the solo is just fucking mind blowingly awesome!!!! Any fucker who claims that metal is noise needs mental help.

[@mikedonn71]

The acoustic part at the beginning sounds like Black Diamond by KISS.

[@AlkisT]

Vocally, only the period after Turbo and before Painkiller were up to par to the 70s. He had more control but not quite the range. On the Painkiller he has some of my favourite vocals but for a different reason, he makes awesome distorted screams and delivers all kinds of emotions from hate to fear. Technically it wouldn't hold a fart to his range in the 70s and he burnt out his voice doing it, as he apparently couldn't do the distorted screams in a non-destructive way.

[@lonegroover]

Shame the cameraman appears to be allergic to Glenn Tipton, who provides the breathtaking lead guitar here.

[@clockworkmike83]

A lot people now suggest though that Les Binks actually stole the main riff from Styx's "Suite Madame Blue", which it really is the same chords except the last 2 notes are reversed. But in any case, even if they DID steal it, they certainly did a way better version of it lol. The guitar solo is one of the greatest ever written in the history of guitar.

[@MetallianDefender]

Interesting note that Binks came up with the guitar riff for this song.

[@tentoaces]

Not a metal Queen, a metal Godess :D:D:D HALFORD IS FUCKIN AWESOME!!!

[@bjcck]

Rob's outfit is hilarious but the performance is still amazing though.

[@ToyGunnTube]

"Great to see live vids of Priest in their "pre-stereotypical metal band" days." I find that statement funny due to the fact the "stereotype" is based on and was vreated by Judas Priest.(-: \m/ Spinal Tap is basically a Judas Priest parody.

[@clemulus]

Is Les Binks playing drums? The writer of this song....along with rob....but think Les came up with the guitar riff.

[@mytoob77]

More Les Binks...

[@804safety]

@TheTimenow1 sorry but rob halford is a lot older than 39 im 34 and i was born in 1976and they were already playing then.hes in his 50s,late 50s

[@guitarforfun]

this is really awesome! where'd you find this recording? could you send it to me somehow?

[@obscurebandfan]

@SpecialKaa He's great, but his tone can be a little harsh at times.

[@high8us]

les binks the great

[@MetallianDefender]

Kosei-Nenkin Hall 7-31-1978?

[@Quartered3000]

@2WickedDudes and sinner...

[@555980]

I -think- it's Alan Moore. No, wait, wait, it's Leslie Binks! It has to be because Les wrote the acoustic part of this song.

[@obscurebandfan]

@ToyGunnTube I know, but you gotta admit they look really cool opposed to their current look.

[@RedCornerMovies]

@brunomoital Very wise man

[@goredonramslay]

Rob may be gay, but he's straighter than any scene core band. Hail to one of the greatest Gods of Metal \m/

[@healmeicanhearyousay]

WOW! What is this video from?

[@m189856]

Being British like me, Glen Tipton's monika probably shoudn't bear close scrutiny. But the guitar solo on this track makes up for all the strange hairstyles, big noses, yellow teeth and features in not quite the right place that the British do so well. I'm very proud of him for that.

[@caitliancute]

how long ago??

[@clockworkmike83]

Check the two out, it's one of those " You be the judge" issues. Like Zeppelin stealing Spirit's Taurus for Stairway to Heaven. Like I said though, I still stick with Priest even if they did take the riff lol.

[@TheEVILJACKAL]

wow thats old he had hair lol

[@klbax63]

Do you think priest ever listened to Styx enough to rip them off???The similarity is purely coincidence

[@AlkisT]

No it wasn't, sorry. That sounded *unbelievably* thin. He was doing the high notes and sounded like a baby crying, having screwed his voice by doing the (*awesome*) Painkiller vocals. This is *THE* live version of BTROD

[@VictimofAtkins]

Man why didn't Les Binks stay with them, his playing is way better than Dave Holland's and he didn't touch up kiddies either.

[@Filpiovano]

@II6bulletII 78

[@firdaus125]

I think rob's 3000 times better
