Beautiful kk

[@bobrogers5568]

One of the most beautiful and emotional guitar solos ever!

[@Dharmicaction]

One of the best solos of KK

[@ognir66]

Gorgeous, melodic and dark.

[@TheDispather]

Until recently I thought that this solo belongs to Glenn.

[@stanperkins8147]

Never seen him play with so much feeling!

[@michaelmatheson7877]

You can see the love the pain and the hurting in his face only for that moment

[@danielsansone654]

King KK. Still got it

[@rosenrangelov5792]

Велик китарист много готин човек КК Даунинг!!!

[@benhenningburk9781]

My idol KK.🤘🤘

[@diocollins2379]

I have nothing but respect for Tim Owens, he accomplished a dream, I know many fans didn't and still don't like him, but he did something that only happens to a few people in life.

[@shellwalsh3317]

I'm a classic Priest (74'-92') lady in my early 50's & I refused to listen to JP after Halford left & I think this live version is great. K.K does his soulful solo perfectly. Much respect to him🥰

[@jeffcronin7600]

​@shellwalsh3317 Ripper is VERY good. Give him a chance!!!

[@ytusersumone]

KK's 70's soulful solos are to die for. So powerful they can break the lagest dams.

[@HeidiLandRover]

KK really made that guitar weep. This concert was a proper headbanger's dream right there in the birthplace of Heavy Metal.

[@NZLatic]

One of my favourite Priest songs. So underrated.. I’ve played it live acoustically many times.

[@stephenworsey3469]

I went to this gig. Best night ive had for years. A proper venue.

[@HaraldEngels]

The band did a great job, totally convincing.

[@Frip36]

Are you the dickhead with the phone on a stick?

[@Exocetlovein14]

Excelent song Judas Priest

[@misternobg]

That's how it looks when the masters are playing! Great video with very good sound. Cheers!

[@shellwalsh3317]

Loved KK since about 84'. "Before the Dawn will be the last song I'll hear😔 My top Priest song. KK was spot on. Just love him😏 ( And I'm in my 50's)

[@bencarpenter5776]

Never understood why this never got played live from the 70s to this day.

[@yeahright302]

wow,so great,kk is great,the whole band is great!!!

[@Finishf]

This solo, each note at the right place, like I heard it more than 40 years erlier. So good

[@justintyme1414]

Love that song!!! KK rocks. Thank you

[@ecouture33]

K. K. Downing...enough said!

[@lyndonscott3528]

Incredible version, solo by kk was immense!

[@tigerkiller501]

KK still and always will have it and les binks was always my favorite drummer for Judas Priest. One of my favorite songs by them.

[@Asturcharlie]

Thousands of teardrops rolling my face down . Thank you so much for the video!

[@christianoliver7282]

INDEED....A BEAUTIFUL ROCK SONG !!

[@juliegunn7944]

and mine

[@terryhennigan3911]

Love this song, plus killer solo from KK 🤘🖤

[@sherry8894]

I absolutely LOVE KK's guitar solo! My favorite part of this song!

[@kentbeery4941]

K K is a Master !! This is Awesome 🤟

[@trillrifaxegrindor4411]

super star line up right here

[@dandogful]

I think its cool that Dave Ellefson coming from Megadeath doing complex music honored the priest bass riffs of Ian Hiil. He set his personal playing aside and played the songs correct without feeling he had to overplay. Tons of respect he seems like a cool dude as well.

[@jwcjrcpa]

Didn’t know Ellefson was in this lineup 👏👏👏

[@portuguesebeer5069]

Fantastic! De Luxe line up! This is as Judas Priest as Judas Priest! Thanks to all, and thanks David Elefsson! Its a previlege to watch sutch great Heavy Metal Heroes! Cheers from Portugal 🍺🤘

[@muhammadnoorbinrohani39]

K K Steel Mill is the best heavy metal band in the world.

[@shanegriffin2215]

Les Binks is a beast! So glad he is still playing.

[@alexanderzakharov9037]

yes facts

[@taomahNEGEV]

Thanks for making this eternal song live. Should have made that beautiful solo much longer though. I've never understood why Judas Priest gave upon this terrific song and never played it alive.

[@jimilove7773]

Awesome tune .......God bless for playing this one!

[@kenmorgan7357]

Magnificent!!! Kk is a huge sum of the parts of authentic judas priest......he MUST play this song each and every show like a benediction

[@JustAnotherReactor]

One of my favorite Judas Priest songs. This sounds great.

[@syl064]

Such a treat to hear this song live at last 💓

[@tommytrixter]

After covid etc,i really hope these guy's get back out on the road,I gotta see this.

[@peteresselstrom8616]

Timeless song, incredibly done, a masterpiece that still gives me the chills every time I hear it. I am so proud of KK, les, Tim, and the rest to play such classics. I will be in the front row if they ever play anywhere in the USA!!

[@ErikWouda]

Well sung!

[@michaelmatheson7877]

The emotions in his face before he started his solo 🤘🤘

[@bigbermbikerchannel572]

Best of slow rock guitar solo all time 02:30 - 03:05

[@bolgarbalgarinov7325]

Good job Tim!!!

[@kamkam2526]

oh thats Tim Owens?

[@bolgarbalgarinov7325]

@@kamkam2526 Yes!

[@sherrytrenner9452]

This is my favorite Judas Priest ballad . Thank you so much ! Love you all

[@Hugo_M1757]

It's 2024 near 2025, one of best songs JP written but not played. Here KK nicely playing it. So sweet

[@afterburner2869]

Before the dawn I hear you whisper In your sleep don't let the morning take him Outside the birds begin to call As if to summon up my leaving It's been a lifetime since I found someone Since I found someone who would stay I've waited too long and now you're leaving Oh please don't take it all away It's been a lifetime since I found someone Since I found someone who would stay I've waited too long and now you're leaving Oh please don't take it all away Before the dawn I hear you whisper In your sleep don't let the morning take him

[@nicotesla6094]

Que letra maravilhosa hein?

[@steveruss5663]

Cheers for the filming credit themillarman- means a lot-cheers.

[@gondon3953]

2024?my love song

[@jonesygw]

It’s so cool to see how passionate Tim is singing this stuff. Sounds amazing. I put him up there with the top metal singers of our time. It’s the ultimate tribute and highest compliment anyone could pay, to what Rob Halford and the band created. Amazing idea KK to get this together, who’s ever it was. I think a full tour is in order.

[@zach7948]

Strictly my two cents here. Based on finally getting to hear him sing live over the summer, and bootlegs and live DVDs too, I think Tim has never been more comfortable on stage and behind the microphone. He'd be hitting an incredible peak as a singer if he had gotten the chance to front a band for decades like so many of our metal heroes did.

[@ADarkandStormyNight]

I agree. Ripper has one of the best metal voices ever, I just wish he had found the right band to back him. It pains me to admit it, but he is often better than the original vocalist in his covers and they are often heroes of mine.

[@danielwildeboer1382]

I doubt Rob would sing this song as well as Ripper these days. And I say that even though Rob is my favorite vocalist of all time. I think Ripper deserves a lot more attention than Rob currently, because he already had his share of the cake and Ripper can offer a lot of fresh stuff with KK Downing.

[@danielwildeboer1382]

My only criticism of Ripper is that he doesn't seem to value his solo work very much, and he prefers to participate in many bands and projects - this ends up making his work and talent a little trivial in my opinion. I mean, I really like his band Beyond Fear, but he didn't take it further, and he did the same with his solo career.

[@danielwildeboer1382]

Paul Di Anno ended up taking the same way before Ripper. I mean, he had excellent bands like Battlezone / Killers, and Di Anno, but he ended up not valuing his own work and being persistent with only his own thing. These guys (Paul and Ripper) should learn from Blaze Bayley who really believes in his own work and remains very productive only with his stabilized solo project, even though he doesn't have as many fans, but the little one values ​​it a lot. I say that as a constructive fan criticism because these guys could offer a lot with something more established and consistent. But now with KK Priest I believe that Ripper is in the right place.

[@Oggrant60]

Best Song Priest Never Played Live

[@Adhemirus]

We want more shows like this! Dont stop guys please!

[@HaraldEngels]

They MUST keep it going ... They are really a great band, fantastic energy.

[@LauraKnotek]

Thanks for sharing this great video. I've always considered Ken to be my favourite Judas Priest member, since his playing is so emotional. 🎸🤘🏻

[@thomastaberski5909]

Was always a K K Downing fan..! Sounds killer...

[@richardbelisle7626]

I am crying this album got me through a world of grow ups I couldn't and still don't relate too

[@jeffdeath2000]

Wow! Thank you for posting. KK was my first guitar hero and the reason I started playing Flying V’s when I was 13. And even now, 37 years later, nothing but V’s 🤘

[@kevinpender2515]

My fav Priest song ever...I absolutely love this song. I never play it only once, always have to have multiple hearings when i play it in itunes..

[@hvymetalthunder]

Ken is truly underappreciated as a heavy metal guitarist and a founding member of Judas Priest. The Priest just isn't the same without him. Looking forward to some new music from KK's Priest. \m/

[@shellwalsh3317]

That's so true. JP never played Before the Dawn. Ken wrote the music & I've loved it since about 84'. I'm in my 50's ♀️& was nuts over KK. The only true JP era for me is from 74'-92', & saw them live a few times. I was set w/ passes to meet KK 🔥 & whole band but I only met Rob (which was great), but was so upset I never met Ken😩. Check out "KK's Priest"..album just dropped 10/1. It's a bit too frantic but I do like 1/2. I really admire Ken for his stamina at 70‼️..I'll always appreciate/admire him for his music

[@TheSimba3062]

KK belongs back in Priest- if not he should tour with this lineup. I will definitely get tickets. Seen Priest many times since 1980. I went to both tours with Ripper, in a small venue in San Diego. I thought he nailed the vocals- though he lacked Halford's magnetic stage presence- and sounded great. Very impressed by the video I've seen! Wish I'd have been there!

[@mike_likes_sludge]

When the bass player entered the scene, I thought "is that......?"....and then read the notes haha I've always loved this song and justice was done.

[@jamescampbell2829]

What a great guitarist

[@mccartney2]

fantastic...now get an album out

[@FreeMTrider]

This is one badass band

[@JonBeGood-uz1pt]

Hermoso tema de Judas Priest. Esta balada siempre estará en mi corazón.

[@bigbermbikerchannel572]

Live performance of Priest like never seen before. ❤❤❤

[@Kynos1]

KK and Ripper in one band is the best combination possible! Better than what remains of the "real" Priest!

[@carapungo]

plus Les Binks

[@jerseyforhawks]

KK's playing is crystalline, everyone else in good stead.

[@JensAndree]

I don't know how this flew under my radar but damn this made me so happy!!! I can sort of understand Judas Priest being reluctant to bring in the old when a recent stint of new blood has given them much needed energy, and if there's some old beef with management (man, this is some pure Spinal Tap stuff come to thinking of it!!!) then these things happens... I now hear something happening as KK's Priest and if I had a choice of going to only one concert I would choose K.K. every day of the week!

[@inlakesh555]

Now THAT was a pleasant surprise😁👍🍀

[@dgbbgd1616]

Bravo KK, bravo Tim 😀

[@tc699]

Bravo Les.

[@joeallegra3122]

Hi Steve I would love to have this full concert nice video work

[@stanperkins8147]

TY for posting....Amazing I found this never knew it existed live!!!!

[@errbeom]

I love to see Kk and Tim working together again

[@briandoyle6188]

Love this song difficult to play live,but Christ they pulled it off...wished the lead hadn't of done crowd participation because he sounded so good....£10 for this gig bargain....in the heart of world metal ...

[@Dharmicaction]

Difficult to play live ? why? It sounds good live

[@torarauland7145]

That song is very cool from Killing Machine

[@rockinrosie5687]

Metal godz all the way right here! Ripper just brilliant right here. I’d absolutely love to see this show live!!! Thank you for posting a quality vid too!

[@budapest381]

Kk sorgt immer dafür das alles super aufgenommen wird er hätte sich gleich kk.judas nennen können er nimmt immer die Gesangs Technik von rob mit und ripper owns macht alles nach aber eben immer eine Stufe schlechter ripper owns hat keine eigene Interpretationen woher auch ! Wahrscheinlich wird auch alles überarbeitet geh mal aufnahme machen es treten immer akustische Effekte auf weil die Handyaufnahmen mit mickrigen nicht gut funktionieren! Ich lass mir von den ripper keinen Bären aufsuchen er ist ein sehr schlächter Sänger und Darsteller ein karaoke man ok

[@dankk2754]

It would really make me happy if K.K made a surprise appearance in Holland 2020

[@blairkerr6574]

The fans really appreciated this song.A jem if you will,well done.

[@centaurus5676]

This show cost £10 to get in! I think the price will go up now, incredible gig!

[@666mathew]

I'd pay 10 times that price to see this show than if you gave me free tickets for the current Judas Priest.

[@MathsYknow]

Ten pounds? WTF?

[@taomahNEGEV]

Beautiful solo.

I hope kk keeps the metal alive again
