Reaction to Judas Priest - Desert Plains (Live Vengeance '82)

[@graemeferguson4946]

At last someone has reacted to this version. The "are you high?" section has always been a wonder to me. It must have been mind blowing to have been there. My favourite band for over 40 years. Love it.

It was coke days of Rob then 😁

Right you are sir. And it was mind blowing back there in 82...ears are still ringin!

[@vinylrichie007]

Really not much of a reaction.

[@daronolenus3911]

Thank You!! I remember renting this VHS video & watching it on a 27 Tube TV. I was completely blown away. I have yet to see any MAN sound like HALFORD live. 2023

@@sabina1118 Sweetie imagine this but 40 years ago when the music 🎶 was wild. In that year I stopped listening LZ, AC/DC,Rush and started with VH, JP and Iron Maiden. I was in some park and somebody came with rock bands T-shirts and showed me. One of those was Screaming for Vengeance by Judas Priest and the other was Made in Japan 🇯🇵 by Iron Maiden. I didn’t think 🤔 too much and picked Eddy with a samurai sword 🗡️. Memories 🥹🥹🥹 I wanna go back 😩😩 Good reaction as always ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

The show in Dallas TX for the Fuel for Life show in 85 was Prime Priest, in my personal professional biggest Judas Priest fan in the world opinion ╚╬╝

[@birminghamchris9377]

The metal boys from Birmingham. Before they made a name for themselves, they regularly played around clubs and pubs in Birmingham city centre, which meant I was able,to see them on numerous occasions. I for one was delighted when they landed a recording contract and then began taking their music to the masses. This song is one of their finest..no keyboards..just pulsating guitar riffs and thundering drums. Sabina..a happy looking reaction..savouring the ground trembling groove.

[@sabina1118]

That’s really Awesome, Chris!! Sounds like you have a somewhat close relationship to these guys!

[@armlovesmetal1036]

One of my favorite Priest songs. That song sends chills down my spine.

[@sabina1118]

I feel ya

[@joecarcione6636]

Yes, a definite classic that they don't play too often anymore. However, I got to see them at Power Trip in October in the desert that's the Coachella Valley. They brought it back; they had to play Desert Plains in the desert!!

[@ericnortan9012]

My wife used to tease me and say that I really show my age with my music taste. Then after hearing Priest enough to start really listening she fell in love with them and Rob's voice. Now she is a huge fan and I catch her watching Priest videos without me, confirming she is a true believer.

[@quintork4100]

yes the shogun of metal range and power!

[@Moondirts]

One of my top five bands of all time. This was filmed in Memphis in 1982 I believe. I saw them a year later on the Defenders of the Faith Tour. Then later on Painkiller. Check out Victim of Changes live at US Festival 83. The best 🤘

[@judaspriestly88]

the Fuel for Life tour, Dallas TX, is the best place to "REACT" to Priest, it's literally Judas Priest in their prime, and not just Halford, but the whole band. Halford hits the highest note ever recorded of him in "Love Bites" of that show, it's a G#6

[@S.Carton_Esq.]

Thanks for the nice trip. The whole album "Point of Entry" is very good. The Priest "Live" album is one you would probably like, or British Steel, Unleashed in the East, etc...We won't see another band like this in our lifetime. Long Live JP!!!

[@-Heavy-]

Iron Maiden & Judas Priest are the ones that made a Metalhead out of me back in the 80s! Never seen this live version,it was nice to see them in their prime!Good choice!!!Next Judas Song suggestion : The Sentinel - An absolute banger!!

If you haven’t done Victim of changes yet, it’s a must listen. His vocal range in that song is beyond intense. Probably their greatest song ever.

I wish you could go back too, I feel so blessed to have been 18 in 1982, the amount of metal greats I was able to see in their prime was just a gift! Great reaction, thank you!

I'm 56 and to hear Rob Halford sing in the 80's was incredible. His vocal range made your ears bleed , lol. Amazing to say the the least. You cannot imagine unless you were there. LOVE your reaction. It was so AWESOME to hear this back then. Thank you for appreciating the true talent of the 80's because it will NEVER be duplicated.

[@rc3078]

57 here and I concur with your remarks about Halford. In the 80's and early 90's his voice was amazing.

[@tritontransport]

Oddly I actually prefer his voice now more than then. His aged 70s voice sounds more metal to me and works for a lot of his songs better. I much more prefer how he sounds now doing Green Manilishi than he did way back when

Absolutely the best live version of this song. The tempo was a little faster then previously done.

[@rc3078]

Yes when they perform it live they have almost always played it faster.

[@th5708]

I saw this live 2 times that year.....best concert (with iron maiden) EVER

[@choppingpenguin]

Judas Priest created the look of heavy metal, wearing leather and studs all the way back on their 1978 release, Killing Machine (renamed Hell Bent For Leather for USA release) which has remained the staple to this day, as well as helped pioneer the twin guitar attack which really beefed up the sound. I've seen Priest 5 times, the earliest was the Turbo Lover tour, and then finally just 2 months ago. They still sound good, but nothing compares to when they were young and completely on fire.

[@anthonymaniscalco7890]

I saw this tour live back in 1982 in New York City and it was insane all the shows are, you hear his voice but you feel it it comes from within you in your chest just pounding

This concert and the Dortmunt 83 is my absolute favorites.

[@martinvaughan5156]

Brilliant I'm so glad you enjoyed it been listening to them since the early 70's keep it up babe .

[@czaxis]

My favorite band. My first exposure to them was in 1980. A local band would play the Green Manalishi. British Steel was released. I would warm up my trombone before band class with Breaking the Law. Point of Entry came out soon after. I was in love with Desert Plains and Solar Angels. Then I learned about Unleashed In The East, Hell Bent for Leather, Stained Class, Sin After Sin, Sad Wings of Destiny and RockaRolla. So much great music! Posters covered my walls. Then Screaming for Vengeance came out. What??? Bought my first studded wristband after that. Got to see them live for the first time in 1985 on their Defenders of the Faith tour.

[@hadeseye2297]

Fun riff to play.

Great choice of video. I'm 60 years old and saw this Judas Priest concert tour in 1983 in Phoenix Arizona USA. This was the "Screaming for Vengeance" tour. The lead singer Rob Halford lives in the Phoenix area and I've seen him around town and talked to him a few times. His voice is one of a kind and you are right I would love to join you in the time machine and live the 80's heavy metal scene all over again. It was so much fun and exciting. The screams are hard to do. I can do them sometimes. I played in bands in the 80's that never went anywhere. It's fun to sing along to these fun songs. The Judas Priest version of Green Manalishi also has some great screams in it and so does Victim of Changes. Check them out too.

You described it very well! Delicious & YUMMY guitar solos! That was a big part of Metal in the 80's. You had to have very melodic & satisfying solos by your guitarists. It was just one of the staples that marked the time period for this genre of music.

[@vicprovost2561]

I saw them on that tour in the 3rd row, they had several dozen Marshall Amps in double stacks, when they turned that on, we looked at each other and laughed as we knew we would have our heads blown off! Clean volume though, it was a rush and they were experts at using it. Head rang for a couple days. Try Sinner or Victim of Changes from the same show, they killed it in Worcester, MA when I saw them, the best of the 7 or 8 times I saw them in the 70s & 80s. One of the very best. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎸🎶

You're video just came up on my feed. We metalheads are a passionate bunch. I am 52. I first heard Judas Priest when I was 11. NEVER stopped listening. Ever. Metal got me through some bad times. What I want you to know is the Holy Trinity of Metal....they are 3 vocalists.....Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden, Rob Halford of Judas Priest and Ronnie James Dio of Rainbow/Black Sabbath and then his own band. The music never left my body and I have branched out to other genres of music as I have become older, but heavy metal will always be home and the most important.
