Judas Priest - When the Night Comes Down-Montreal Canada 84

[@Fixxer315]

Undoubtedly in the top ten of all time great Priest songs. Criminally underrated, and one that I'd like to see them dust off and bring back into the setlist--at least once.

[@Channel10334]

they played it in Europe 2018.

[@Bluewren71]

Classic priest song ,as is the whole album.

[@СергейСолодовников-д8б]

Sure Defenders album jewel

[@schuey999]

Rob was at his peak. Amazing.

[@brod7501]

And after 50 years, he's STILL got it! kzbin.info/www/bejne/iGqcYXuwj82arbc

[@rodneybrimer1712]

I've followed them since 1980. By far the best live band I've seen I belive they sound better live. I'm 45 and will be rocking priest to my grave. Priest forever

[@christopherlogiudice8254]

Me too brother. 52 and still very few bands can match what is going on inside of me. This band always could.

[@rpcarnell]

I am 47. Following them since I saw the video for Freewheel Burning on MTV. The year was 1984.

[@СергейСолодовников-д8б]

Brilliant, pure exiting Priest ballad. Defenders jewel

[@shredguitarob]

Even though Priest is one of the most famous bands in the world, I think they should still be much more appreciated. I guess because I'm a die hard fan...

The fact is Maiden has got more fans and sold more copies but Judas means much more to me than Maiden. Maiden has been searching for their old style since 2006

[@cindymorson880]

Goosebumps from mr halford. My only wish is that they'd have done more ballads, a one in a trillion voice

[@suemarie6676]

Always my fave song...

[@MetalRider666]

You can feel pain and sadness in his voice. Awesome.

[@kelvinwebber90]

What.about.loosing.a.man..how.sick...

[@dalmor33]

Certainly the best version of this song! Better than any other live, better than the record track. If only the sound were clearer...

[@larkraines9311]

Wow. All this, without auto tune. Rob has an amazing voice, and amazing tonal control, to be able to jump several octaves like that. 3:22 made the hair on my arms stand on end, and gave me goosebumps everywhere. Like I was plugged into electricity. Incredible.

[@wickedcurve]

This was Priest at their peak.

[@TheHalfordFreak]

wow man they should have done this song live more its brilliant

[@Oldschoolmetalnrock]

And of course, Rock Hard Ride Free. That song just sums up everything I stand for. It's epic.

[@СергейСолодовников-д8б]

True belief really

[@bridgeman11]

I saw them on this 1984 tour in San Diego; 60 years old and still a Priest fan. I saw them again last year and I'd like to see their last tour but I don't think it'd be quite the same without K.K.

[@Shadefecator]

The part 1:57 where he sings “as the lights start to dim and the fear closes in” is one of the most magical moments from Priest in my opinion. The music, the lyrics, Halford’s voice and theatrics, the mist and the lights fit so perfectly! This track is such a lost opportunity that I get a bit sad.

[@tigeroftheeye7121]

I never get sick of listening to this one.

[@octagon109]

Fantastic voice!

[@Grafo7771]

Personally i Think that it's best when musicians write songs that come straight from the heart. And that's what i like about Rob Halford he sang what he felt and what he lived all the those bad memories and the bad life and the hard test you have to go through before you have a band and get famous. Rock On Judas Priest

[@shizzle5150]

This song is just fucking awesome! It's one of those I could listen to 100 times and love it just as much as the first time... There are not many songs I can say that about.

[@kevinnorman5372]

should've been on the live release! epic performance!!!

[@stevelafond705]

I was at this absolutely incredible concert in Montreal - about 15 rows back on the floor (they had seats on the floor). Probably my favourite of the many concerts that I've been to, and I've seen the Priest over a dozen times. Ol' Bobby was in prime form, as was the rest of the band. My friends and I even got to meet the lads after the show. I've seen MANY concerts, many diverse styles of music, and most of my favourite bands several times, but NOBODY brings it live like The PRIEST! I can't wait to see them again in March 2018!

[@jeffreywarme8594]

Steve Lafond Was Great White or Saxon the opening band? Did they open with Love Bites?

[@Mr1Tanker]

@@jeffreywarme8594 I had tickets for the Toronto show which is usually right before or after Montreal (Great White opened) in March 84, then i wiped out on my motorcycle a week before and was in the hospital for a month with a broken ankle. Had to miss the concert, and gave my friend, who was going with me, my ticket. I got to see them in Toronto for the Turbo tour, but wished the hell i'd seen this one! :/ BTW... would loved to have seen Saxon!

[@freddyferrillo9704]

The best tour was this one. 1984. I saw it a Madison Square Garden! They got banned for life that night. Because us fans, ripped every single foam seat cushion out of the denim material, and then flung them about the arena. And on stage too! This is how we showed our appreciation for a kick-ass show! True story. June 1984.

[@jetshull]

I had a great year in '83 but priest came out with defenders in '84 and well it was even better.

[@achjo123456]

This is total amazing..the best metal band of all time..metal gods.........

[@mickyjones8500]

Judas Priest saved my life

[@grindmike1]

Another classic from Judas Priest gotta love that song

[@MidnightIsolde]

Why does Rob still never cease to amaze me with these performances?

[@VictimofAtkins]

One of my absolute favourite Priest ballads, this and Dreamer Deceiver are the best.

[@MichaelBrown-ut9qx]

One of my all time favorite songs, my god his voice is so powerful this video doesn't do it justice like seeing it done live

[@windk100]

What, a singer that can actually hit all the notes w/o Auto-Tune? Unheard of nowadays. Beautiful song - one of Priest's best!

[@belenhalford]

Oh no you won't be there tomorrow...oh no say it isn't true, can't take this pain and sorrow.....oooh can't you see my heart is broken in two!!

[@garyjskadra1180]

For a while this was the song I'd fall asleep to in '85. Sometimes after an evening of getting stoned when I was 14

[@tigeroftheeye7121]

Now that's a freaking power ballad!

[@brod7501]

One of the greatest hard rock or heavy metal songs of all times, and one of the best live performance lead vocals ever! Rob Halford of Judas Priest and Dan McCafferty of Nazareth are individually incomparable, and both bands should have been inducted into The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame decades ago for their influence.

[@cashus68]

This is one my favorites from priest , give me goose bumps being stoned out of my mind driving home at 1:30 am from Woodanville Washington over the 520 floating bridge home !!! Fuck ya ! also coked out 😉 i am 53

[@jerseyforhawks]

Master class in session. Vintage Halford.

[@realhbk316]

Judas Priest are METAL GODS. And this song is one of the METAL GOD'S FINEST CREATION.

[@grindmike1]

maaaaaaaaan haven't heard this fucking song in a long fucking time man this song is one of my favorits from judas priest great ballad

[@CarlyFloq]

His voice is sooo powerful! Awesome band, my fav 💕💕💕

[@eddonato5722]

WOW!!!!! Rob’s effort on this song was as close to perfect as it gets!!

[@Oldschoolmetalnrock]

I agree mate, I bought Screaming For Vengeance at the same time, and for some reason just listened to that more. Defenders truly is AWESOME. This song is great, I also really like Heavy Duty/DOTF, even tracks like Jawbreaker, I didn't appreciate until a few listens. British Steel was pretty class, Point of Entry had a few good tracks, Screaming for Vengeance is a good no nonsense rocker, and Defenders experimented, and yet really lived up to the other stuf as well. Class album

[@shreddinjoe]

I could listen to Rob & Priest all day & nite.Rob "IMO" is the best ever.Not to mention Glenn,KK,Ian,Dave.Just a gr8 combination.Ever wonder why Dave left?I here he got into some kinda trouble.

[@robertanolan4876]

I saw this tour in Ottawa, Ontario brings back a lot of memories

[@WilliamWilliamcaqui]

I love this song !

[@gunsdf]

this song is amazing, one of the best from "defenders...", thans for the video, is just AWESOME!!!!!!!!

[@blackguitar86]

This is one of my best JP songs. It is great to see all the comments giving this group the recognition they never really got-even in there prime. I remember making a JP emplem out of aluminum in METAL SHOP class. I might still have it somewhere.

[@vlassisnikas7634]

Epic! "Defenders Of The Faith" is a masterpiece.

[@gentrelane]

how the hell does rob do that

[@HARPO1ME]

GIFTED Tallent and extreme effort to put on a great show = Judas Priest

[@shredder40]

love this song by priest it brings me back to the 80's when metal was METAL this is by far one of thier best songs but there are so many and i LOVE them all i will go see them everytime the play now that rob is back,.. thanks for this great video

[@luppas]

Geez that voice is a weapon. I agree a very underated song. That last phrase always sends shivers down my spine. "And Im here all alooooooooooooone" ;-)

[@KISSBeatle]

Yeah, this is my absolute favourite song. I think its beautiful

[@chuckoldschool1]

Just incredible !!! Its songs like this that makes it great to be alive . Ive been to every Priest concert in my town . I have a 4 way tie in the best bands ever to be on this planet ~ Judas Priest, Led Zeppelin, Lynyrd Skynyrd & Black Sabbath . There will never be anything or any band that even comes close to those 4. Ever. Face it.

[@scottsway]

Priest - the best live band EVER!! Pure thunder and power! Halford was really on top of his game then...

[@CAJUN2112]

If you have never seen this band live you are really missing out .. best live band ever

[@O-sa-car]

So amazing - I've seen them twice live and will again if I can

[@vladivelchev5103]

The best band in the world forever

[@zandarx]

[@josefranciscocarreira2691]

[@MorbidDirector]

[@SASR]

Fantastic song.

[@Fauxjob]

In the US, on the same tour, this came on after the last encore and the lights came on, time to go home -- bummer. Thanks for this upload, strong vocal and all.

[@floydledqueen3]

The best Priest's ballad. Makes me wanna cry...

[@shuldinako]

judas priest!!! are the best!!!!!!!!! the metal gods!

[@rodolfocastillojimenez4468]

Judas y mis mejores recuerdos 1984.

[@jardamuth]

THat vid a piece of anthology. I didn't even know that they ever player that song in concert. It's simply awesome. Thank you very much for the great vid.

[@jeffreywarme8594]

My first concert was this tour at Long Beach California USA with Great White as the opening act . Loved that show!!!

[@mr1wal]

From your description: "Music this honestly rendered, genuine, and meaningful is virtually non existent today. " So TRUE!!! Thanks for posting this great live version of this song.

[@bdg8967]

a true Bootleg right here!! Can remember buying these at CD Shows when they sold them in mass quantities. Thanks for sharing!

[@michaelschenker1955]

Genuine, honest, you're right! My favourite track from Defenders of the Faith, I was just 13 when this album came out, great rememberance...

[@nabuconosor]

Adoro este tema... sobretodo por la voz de Halford, ideal para cuando uno desea relajarse con buena musica... Grande Judas!!! ojala hubiese estado entre 83 y el 88 hubiese sido genial haber estado ahi... Gracias KZbin por existir

[@peterlagios4286]

Agreed. Honesty. That's all we're asking for.

[@TheGreatDuck]

This and Accepts Winter Dreams are probably the best metal ballads ever.

[@SmorgasLord]

YES!

[@amigapullip]

you reall rock my world...no one like you guys!!!! lovya :)

[@carlosmartinmahillo6641]

Simplemente increíble. Heavy metal puro

[@langopriest]

eternamente. hasta el ultimo infinito Judas Priest...

[@542otm]

Fuckin' incredible! Rob Halford is truly the one and only METAL GOD! I mean, Bruce Dickinson, Dio, Michael Kiske and Eric Adams are also great vocalists, but Rob is the indisputed King! (..or at least was the undisputed King for some 15 years!)

[@dennisthemenace5466]

the priest that is the beast

[@ezeta69]

I agree the best live band ever !

[@robbyled]

Never saw or heard this performed live until now!

[@wayne3340]

Just a terrific performance.

[@Constrictor87]

How great do they sound !!!! Thanks for posting !!!

[@rosavil1967]

Awesome song,Rob was incredible between 3.24 / 3.30.Thanks for posting!!!!!

[@hemlock399]

Beautiful! What a performance! Bravo!

[@Trashfished]

EPIC!!

[@delire37]

Excellent

[@ets1410]

Eletric Eye have this live dvd "Priest...Live!" and you guys know, there's on 86, so, you can hear something near to that

[@Flaggius]

Priest is the most epic band ever! Fuck they're so good!

[@mootj87]

That leaves Chillz. Nice.

[@johnpatrickwilliams2051]

I was at this tour😀

[@tamaspapp8560]

my best song

[@ChessArmyCommander]

Imagine Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane, alone. His followers are gone or asleep. Imagine what it was like. The "night" was coming down! Jesus praying there, and coming to grips with his impending doom! As he was soon to be tortured and crucified by his enemies. I think this song captures that feeling to a certain extent.

[@HalForD666GOD]

Best perfoman EVER!!

[@GURAKASCA]

SPEECHLESS...

[@schuriken]

IF YOU HAVE EVER TRIED TO SING THIS OUT LOUD THEN YOU HAVE FAILED

[@durba8]

Yeah, the scream at 3:30 is ridiculous.Best metal voice ever.

[@demonizer123]

Halford gave a fucking flawless performance!!!

[@langopriest]

el eterno Metal God!!!!

[@bekabby]

DEFENDERS OF THE FAITH IS BY FAR ONE OF THE BEST BY THE PRIEST AND MY ALL TIME FAVORITE ALLSO UNLEASHED IN THE EAST PAIN KILLER BRITISH STEEL ECT ECT BUT KNOW THIS JUDAS FUCKING PRIEST ARE BY FAR THE GREATEST METAL BAND OF ALL TIME

[@juarmalon]

vamos judas loco!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@mattoman2010]

i dont think anyone pulls off the heavy metal ballad quite like priest.
