Judas Priest - Diamonds and Rust (live in 1978) (with audio overdubbed for hopes of enhancement)

[@Wintermadness64]

last video of the year but best video of the year (: i love priest and seeing them play this long ago for me is amazing

[@tuengem]

Been a Preist fan for 32 years!!! Seen them 9 times!!!

[@tyrant1505]

Priest were very much this look since I first saw at a pub in Rotherham, UK '73/'74. This WAS the look upto the Stained Class album and including the Unleashed tour.They first wore the leather and studs for the Killing Machine album taking it to the States where they supported the likes of Kiss, ReoWIMPwagon (oh dear!) and Blue Oyster Cult. They first wore it live in the UK on the British Steel UK tour and metal hasn't looked back since. Just TWO days before Sheff Arena, GREAT!!

[@visionfirst1970]

I would never ever think of complaining about vid quality Thank you for posting this Judas Priest is going to influence chidrens dat taint even born yet

[@Syntarro]

Wow this takes me back, havent heard this in well over 25 years...thanks for posting :}}}

[@tubejon]

I had this version on cassette in the 80ies, thanks for putting on YT!

[@sqwuade]

First true "Heavy Metal" band in my opinion. Classic stuff! Nice work on the vid!

[@edgo99]

Five stars and goes to my favorites. I spend a couple of days seeking this version, the best version of Diamonds and rust, better than the studio version and others concerts. Betther than Joan Baez (really original) version. Simply the best. Amazing voice performance, guitars, bass, battery. Judas Priest shine in this song. Excellent!!!!!

[@Vatch1966]

Hard to believe UITE is 30 years old and still one of the greatest live albums out there.

[@stevencrow9725]

Priceless footage :D :D Thanks for putting this up, even if it's overdubed

[@lethedt]

it's awesome.priest for life.thanks for posting friend.5 stars.

[@codebabe]

I just keep watching this. Halfords AMAZING.

[@Slocket712]

There is no "better" version of this (1979 had no camera like today), thanks for the load.

[@luisvaz92]

They truly used to wear hippie clothes in that time, nice vid dude thanks for sharing.

[@jasondotson]

@detroitdemon I love that song!!! "Stanied Class" is probably my second favorite Priest album after "Unleashed in the East". A close third would be "Hell Bent for Leather" or "Sin After Sin". They kinda lost my personal tastes after "Screaming For A Vengeance". However, I do have a DVD boot of Priest in Germany in '83 that kicks ass. I'm more of the old-school metal. Thanks for the info!

[@codebabe]

Rob's voice is amazing. i just love it.

[@tezzquill]

Glad you loved it, dude!

[@TheDogofWar87]

The audio version of this Diamonds and Rust can be found on Unleashed on the East (Live Album). :) Great old school video of Rob and the gang, good work man.

[@oj8b709q]

Les Binks is an awesome drummer

[@tezzquill]

I have to say I'm impressed...there's absolutely no haters on this vid except for the 50 cent dude some time ago....

[@tezzquill]

Living after midnight is another of my favs btw :). Really fun feeling

[@jasondotson]

This is taken off of the BEST live Priest album of them all, "Unleashed in The East", which was recorded in Japan and released in 1979. This song and 'The Green Manalishi"(Fleetwood Mac) are the only covers that I can think of that Judas Priest has done offhand that Judas Priest has done. Joan Baez suprisingly wrote this song!!!

[@Filpiovano]

That's the same shirt he used in the Old Whistle version of Dreamer Deciever, it's sooooooooo awesome, wish I had one like that!.

[@juanito26262]

thanks for sharing this treasure

[@MawMawStJohn]

YEA the sound is f**king right on!!! Kill it BABY!!! I love him...the first concert I went to all by myself at the Capital center and the time of my life...went in dry and came out wet....

[@sweetytwome2]

i think halfords voice has mellowed and is richer now that he has matured. the acustic version of diamonds and rust is just beautiful.

[@basvanderwiel]

Thanx for making this, it is better to see this nice old video images of Priest with overdubbed not so in sync sound then with no sound at all. If you don't like it make a better one or shut up!

[@hilvldruid]

SO GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@cashandtravel]

Classic Priest! Damn cool!

[@rudzhouston]

Thanks for the video. I apprceiate your efforts. I say JP in 1980 with Def Leppard as the opener...

[@forzamicha46]

Thank you for sharing this :)

[@sqwuade]

There ya go. That pretty much sums it up!

[@takk78]

Lord what a voice

[@coronamario0]

esta cancion me hace llorar en mis peores momentos

[@tezzquill]

I believe it is, there are so many different versions of information on the same thing on the internet after all.

[@rangyui]

at the beginning when the big bang ocurred. the first note was a melody with the strumm and speed of heavy metal. then judas priest was born as a ricocchet of that pasion.

[@cubby3o5]

on the higher quality video you can see that Rob is wearing the same thing he was wearing during the Dreamer Deceiver video from the 1975 BBC sessions.

[@tezzquill]

Appreciate it, really!

[@VLombardi01]

awesome! This rocks!

[@jdclyde]

It is the thought that counts, "A" for effort, "C" for results. At least you put in details along the side I could read instead of paying attention that the video lost sync. :)

[@pablodicosta]

great audio!

[@tinkles30]

Man, the video quality is terrible. Ha Ha! Great audio. Thanks for posting.

[@KrisMarti915]

F'ING AWESOME VERSION!!!!!!!

[@soupedguit369]

@MetalxGoDsx3 Hate to break your heart, but this whole album (Unleashed In The East) was retouched in the studio after the fact. Worked with a fellow that was a roadie for Priest for years, and he told me that they were not happy with what ended up on the tapes, so they re-did most of the tracks in a studio. So "Unleashed In The East" is not a true live performance. And I am a big fan of the group, so I feel your pain!

[@Rizzy55]

Its the best audio on KZbin though..great quality

[@timpenfield5]

@TheNokie65 HOLY SHIT.THAT MUST HAVE BEEN INSANE.ALL GREAT MUSICIANS

[@pyromohanzed]

....I've already paid... BANG ON!!!

[@ozzietube61]

dont worry to much man its cool thanks

[@Kondzio717]

Halford jaki szczaw, dwadzieścia pare lat :D

[@lebowskyred]

daanos, daanos el arrozz, es una de mis favoritas del sacerdote

[@kirkph95]

i need a button "fucking awesome,I love it"

[@tezzquill]

I'll be damned, here comes your ghost again~~~ Lol, yea one of my fav's of all time.

[@zidane456]

awesome

[@noiseruption]

i would kill for some soundboard bootleg of 73'~77 PRIEST material. thanks for the info

[@tezzquill]

@lrewopf it IS from unleashed....just that the same track was a bonus in my new nostrodamus album.

[@patakan]

time ago :'O great!

[@Sk8Corexx]

yeah! cris cole Fallen ride the sky part2

[@luisdagreat1]

i'll be dammed... great song

[@detroitdemon]

@TheArbiter74 Spooky Tooth - Better By You, Better Than Me was another cover they did.

[@tezzquill]

everyone has their own tastes of music. 50 cent is a super celebrity in his own right, as are Judas Priest. However, respect is still appreciated.

[@eagle0468]

Rob Halford is was and always will be the premier lead singer of metal followed very closely by Bruce Dickerson!!

[@MrSOB69]

*****CONSIDER FOR A MOMENT***** This was in 1978. About 5-6 yrs before the mainstream "Heavy Metal" era. Pioneers?

[@noiseruption]

i wonder why the cover for the Unleashed record is total leather and spikes and this vid is like from the Sad Wings era clothing Rob and Priest are wearing. anyways great song and cool vid! old PRIEST rules!!!

[@gurubhai01]

cant believe halford still wore this in '78 gypsy priest :D love it anyways.... its priest!

[@tezzquill]

@mikeshdesign Thank you. Original can be found in description. You're welcome.

[@tezzquill]

@Danyerd This is not the hospital. Sorry to hear that you're walking lame though, can't give you treatment myself though.

[@tezzquill]

both the audio and video were live, but it appears they were even faster in the video

[@horseboyken]

This is the same recording they used for the compilation Living After Midnight

[@mind_vagabond]

Best

[@MichaelLoweryDrummer]

Live in Japan rocks!!!!

[@dreambrew]

Nobody did cover tunes like Priest could!

[@MisterShalashaska]

no, only the voice part. Rob Halford was problems of voice in this year. sorry for my bad english.

[@tezzquill]

As I indeed am, as you can see from my description.

[@LPcustom76]

@soupedguit369 i doubt they retouched any of binks bits as he was a freakin clock live.

[@robfire66]

intramontabile!

[@kevincummings632]

Thank God Rob found that leather shoppe or they never would''ve broke through.

[@charmedfun]

Well i don't listen to this kind of music!!But it's pretty cool!!!!:P:P Ur video is nice:)It may doesn't have such a good quality but it doesn't affect the sound which is the most that counts in that case!!!!;):):D:P:P

[@Overlorde1]

This is from unleashed..i should know ..i wore out 2 of the albums listening..i know every tiny soundbyte of this track!

[@tezzquill]

@janborrowitz would be very happy if you could find a better quality of this equivalent vid. I'm sure the world would die to see it.

[@tezzquill]

That's what I said. lol. except that mine was a nostradamus album, with this as a bonus.

[@janborrowitz]

Everyone sometimes makes a mistake ,-)

[@cesarvilla263]

chingona

[@tezzquill]

the video response from ZODIAKFV appears to contain the original audio. Really good quality compared to the version I found. I mean, it was so bad that I ended up doing this video.

[@Suavratman]

Yeah this is Unleashed dubbed over...

[@XRealHardcoreX]

cuz unleashed was an after thought and by the time they made it things had changed a bit but not too much plus rob always was very spikey

[@PavelB21]

hehehe this is great concert and u have this song from it on video of that concert? LOL Can U atach more videos from this,if u have green manalishi I will be very happy to see it :)

[@demonhoopa]

Really? I saw them way back in '82 and I thought his voice had deteriorated significantly even THEN (the version of Diamonds and Rust from that tour here on KZbin kind of supports my impressions back then).

[@standby4excita]

Sabbath got close, but if you look back, priest was first for twin lead guitars and their songs were just much heavier and more aggresive than anything that had been seen before them

[@headbanger6661990]

is this the footage of unleahed in the east :O ? because i have it on vinyl and it is exacyly like this one :D:D:D

[@MisterShalashaska]

pos claro

[@codebabe]

@cubby3o5 at least something similar...yes :)

[@njbee64]

@harman82 nothing like it, dio comes in very close with halford.

[@SlaventiyUA]

Rob #1

[@heresyisprogress]

i give you an A for effort. I was looking for a good live cover, but priests had the terrible habit of speeding up all their songs live. works good on some of their more straight up metal songs, but sounds terrible on some of their earlier stuff that need to breath a bit.

[@Funkytiger37]

まだオサレロックの名残が！こんな若きロブもイイね！

[@olivierliburuzainak1594]

I want to see this video to see the first historical look of JP, signaled by Wikipedia ; look wears proto-metal Psychedelic Rock.

[@tezzquill]

Lol this...erm...debate is interesting :D

[@peterkin1010]

@metalriff11 material yes brilliant,sound quality and production was and is the worst I've ever come across in 30 years plus of me enjoying Rock/Heavy Metal-a very big shame and possibly the biggest missed opportunity in the history of heavy metal.

[@tezzquill]

I said overdubbed...didn't I haha.

[@kevincummings632]

Les Fuckin' Binks!
