Judas Priest - Freewheel Burning - '83

[@hyperloke]

To my ears, this is the greatest band ever. In terms of influence, sure Led Zep, the Beatles and Black Sabbath take the spots - but in terms of colossal music - JUDAS PRIEST!! FOREVER! \m/

[@MrMedtech1437]

To me the first four years of the 80's was the epitome of metal. I'm 44 and still head banging .

[@wickedcurve]

Glen Tipton is the most underrated guitarist ever...!

[@bastienmalek]

Damn Right !

[@haydendraycott7897]

They both are.

[@scout805]

Tipton can shred as good as anyone u can name! Fact!

[@ДениславЙорданов-л6о]

Absolutely

[@antoniovidal6722]

judas es poder. no hay grupo como ellos tan completo y complejos grupos de hoy en dia qe tocan sus canciones las tienen que vajar de tono para llegar a las notas de halford y aun asi no se les puede imitar. esos reyes del metal judas para siempreee!!🙌

[@C64SX]

The album 'Defenders of the Faith' was released in 1984, but recorded in 1983. This concert was in december 1983. There was also a single with the song 'Freewheel Burning' released in 1983 so the year of this video is correct.

[@arturocobain]

El solo del final es simplemente orgasmo, magnifico, hasta dan ganas de llorar de felicidad

[@ahmetalperucarsoy4591]

Fast and furious We ride the universe To carve a road for us That slices every curve in sight We accelerate, No time to hesitate This load will detonate Whoever would Contend its right Born to lead At breakneck speed With high octane We´re spitting flames Freewheel burning On we catapult We´re thrusting to the hilt Unearthing every fault Go headlong into any dare We don´t accept defeat We never will retreat We blaze with scorching heat Obliterations everywhere Born to lead At breakneck speed With high octane We´re spitting flames Freewheel burning Look before you leap Has never been the way we keep Our road is free Charging to the top And never give in never stops The way to be Hold on to the lead With all your will and concede You´ll find there´s life With victory on high Freewheel burning

[@magister39]

It is a December 1983 gig. Freewheel was already written then :)

[@zel77777]

I believe this may be from the 1983 Dortmund Pop Rock Festival. I remember I saw this back in 1985 or so... amazing band...

[@jonathanmckay7713]

My favorite Priest song from my favorite priest album! outstanding!

[@TheShotgunslade]

This band was HEAVY METAL personified. This is one of my all time fav HEAVY METAL numbers. It souded awesome on the twelve inch at the time of release.Fanx for posting I appreciate it.

[@kaszpiboy]

Man, they own. Flawless performance. I'm glad to have discovered in my teens - will always be one of my two favourite bands.

[@ReinventingHelll]

Este tema es como para pegarse en la ruta!!! U r the King ROb

[@asuodhfaouidfoadfj]

One of the best albums ever :D

[@GrayWoIf]

I love when Rob does the fast part

[@thebreeze12]

While Sabbath are credited for starting metal, Maiden may be more popular and Metallica have sold the most albums.......Priest took metal our of the blues based sound and made it METAL. The greatest twin guitar attack in music, certainly in Metal. Plus your have by far the best metal vocalist ever in Halford and they created what is universally known as the look of metal with the leather and chains motif.

[@showmasterd]

guitar solo is marvelous!!! there's is some Ritchie Blackmore inspiration in it. like in Kill the King.. Tipton is a great player!

[@coulthard1984]

halford's singing skills are insane

[@michaelgadsby]

Vocally an absolute monster XD

[@chrisevers1682]

This is a nice mellow one from the boys!

[@agnessmash]

Rob Halford is a Master!!!

[@michaelgadsby]

Rob making the typically unnattainable vocals look almost relaxed, as per usual XD But that guitar solo is simply delicious as well. My favorite Priest song x

[@C64SX]

I think it was recorded at Westfalenhalle, Dortmund, in '83. Plenty of bands played during that event, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Scorpions, Def Leppard, Ozzy Osbourne, Krokus, MSG and Quiet Riot. Still have it on VHS :) search the web and you'll find the whole concert.

[@MeTuLHeD]

The Metal God is at the top of his form here. Amazing.

[@agrueeatedu]

Rob Halford is probably the best vocalist to ever live..

[@Jubidar]

Glenn is so amazing player, OMG ! How ?! He is GOD.

[@ottowes]

What a fabulous live recording! Thanks for this!

[@RonDormoriz]

I would have to agree with you. It's just a RUSH OF METAL HITTING THE FACE AT BREAK NECK SPEED.??!. \m/

[@GREEKNICK13]

THAT'S FUCKING PERFECT!!!!! GREAT LIVE PERFORMANCE!!!!!!!!!

[@ubuybuyb]

awesome song ...priest forever!!!!!!!

[@tyrant1505]

You're right, Defenders released in 1984 BUT they previewed Freewheel Burning on the UK tour for definate in '83 as it was the forthcoming single from yet another barnstorming album.

[@paulainsile5016]

Most impressive live metal vocalist of all time...and he was snorting loads of cocaine on stage during this time period...beat that Dickinson.

[@tigetbunny82]

Absolutely brother! And I really,really,really wish KK would come back too...

[@Jesus_Wept]

Well...in some aspects, sure. Glen took the lead with a lot of the parts. KK was there to fill in whatever else was needed for layering and texture. Can't deny the great guitar stuff KK does on the intro of the Sinner though. That is some real supreme work with the bar there....

[@Defender80s]

2:55 Nothing More PRIEST sounding than that bit! Gotta Love The Metal Gods!

[@OVER1970DGDR]

Saw This tour cow palace san fran ca july 1984...opened with lov bites....freakin epic !!!!!

[@jdl6881]

Fucking Glenn Tipton he is a beast

[@Midnite24]

Freewheel Burning = Defenders of the Faith = 1984..

[@j_freed]

The song was a released in 1983, a year prior to "Defenders of the Faith" - Wiki (I am an internet genius. You're very welcome.)

[@frankisfunny2007]

this is the first EVER Judas Priest song I have ever listened to

[@mok0s1]

awesome concert, with maiden, def leppard, scorpions and i dont remember more but this concert had to be awesome

[@Midnite24]

Rob's voice sounds AMAZING here! And it doesnt even sound like hes straining his voice here either.. Awesome! \m/ \m/

[@Nghilifa]

Because it was already written at that point. For instance, you can hear Creeping Death played in 1983 (Kill em all tour) even though it was released in 1984 on Ride The Lightning ;)

[@joseluisalonsoguisaddo5749]

master all metal los mejores conciertos...judas, Michael schenker,....heavy metal no dead

[@PavelB21]

absolutely :)

[@pcdd11pj]

@pistachioguy Couldn't agree more with you mate, There are only a few singers that are at par with halford and Robert Plant, Gillan, Meine, and Coverdale are certainly up there along with Glen Hughes and King Diamond.

[@shuldinako]

thanks men!!!!!! n.n! halford voice sound that screaming for vengeance tour

[@tuengem]

Seen em 7 times....Metal rules!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@tigetbunny82]

I might have sorry bout that. Anyways, this is my favorite guitar duo of any band. JP owns all metal...

[@69erthx1138]

Glen and KK greatly forged metal history with their combined grind. They PROVED that leads can work together in a band.

[@pofwiwice]

METAL!!!

[@ガンダム京アニ大好き関西-g8n]

グランツーリスモ4を思い出す😃

[@swaneeoffback]

@666RiffsOfDeth666 ... I bought the vynil of this album, in the same day of bosoxyaz8, and the vynil of 1984 of Van Halen. The next week I come back at home with the vynil of Disillusion (japan version) of Loudness and WASP of W.A.S.P.

[@MisterTee]

Richie was my guitar teacher so I am glad to see him in Priest

[@michaelgadsby]

The tone he adopts at times like 0:27 ("ev'ry curve in siiiiiiiiiiiiight") 0:39, 1:08 and 1:20 I just can't get over!!!

[@ThrashTillDeath123]

@Josephandalice I think you mean this part: "Look before you leap has never been the way we keep Our road is free Charging to the top and never give in never stops the way to be Hold on to the lead with all your will and concede Youll find theres life with victory on high!" Of course, sung in the awesome way only Halford can do:)

[@Wheatbreadification]

What I always liked about the Priest was that so many of their songs they actually performed live and THEN released on albums. Their song Living After Midnight that you hear on the radio or otherwise is actually them performing live on the BBC back in like 1978 or some such. They never stopped that style. That's why they always sounded good live... unlike, say, Metallica.... Can't help but wonder when they'll Re-Re-Re-Re-Re-Load another "album"

[@purgatoryjoop]

Great! I will bang myself a whiplash with this! 100% pure Metal! Great guitar riffs!!!

[@kapitaen_h]

heard it first time on a "100% Rock compilation"...i asked my mom "who are these guys"...she said " sounds like acdc" (my mom don´t know anything about music:) i just said wow, this is the music i wanna listen to...they took me to helloween iron maiden etc. just epic

[@LinkyHYC]

This show was on december 1983 and the record came out in january 1984 ;)

[@DevilsBeggingToBurn]

No I'm Not Actually I Recon that judas priest are an amazing band and rob is my fav vocalist they had/have i just dont think that his earlier work live didnt sound to well he was trying too hard but in recent years he has taken a much more mature approach to his vocalising it actually saddens me that some people cant take some criticism

[@deraickripper]

nah! halford 's voice is way sharped he can cut trough anything!

[@mcrobocreations]

what concert is this from ..it rocks the sound man made robs voice clear to hear..you know singers sing better when they can hear them self..it relly shows here helford expestions on his face he looks happy and confident...poor guy priest ant the same w/ out him..and right demo uk 83 fall defenders 84 spring i do belive

[@MsChristianv8]

[@hansenmetalmachine]

they played this song before to make the album...they played this songs in this gig like a teaser of the next album

[@tyrant1505]

Nah, liked this sound, tons rawer than '86 and the Turbo era. Reckon this was one of their UK gigs December 1983. They played Freewheel Burning prior to Defenders release as it was the single....Pure Priest!!

[@Oldschoolmetalnrock]

AWESOME.

[@an147]

JUDAS PRIEST, the gods of metal!

[@Basketter140]

1:54 - 2:06 is crazy!

[@DevilsBeggingToBurn]

listen to him singing live back then and then compare it to now :) i just recon that back then he couldnt sing as well live as he could in the studio his stage presence was amazing just not his vocals :)

[@josealejot]

THE TRUE JUDAS PRIEST... FAST AND FURIOUS!

[@toxicozzy2k]

[@heavygoz]

[@Michaelslayer1]

at 3:15-3:20 halford is moving on the stage like moving in his house.halford was born for that

[@ziksee]

glenn tipton is soo underated and yet he was fucking equally amazing to kk downing

[@Cyanarchy]

@pcdd11pj Axl is in his prime right now, and Halford just keeps getting better as well, why can't you just accept that they're both extremely talented musicians?
