Judas Priest/NY,USA 1980 Complete

JUDAS PRIEST in 1980 announced the birth of a new era of music “Heavy Metal” to the whole world with the revolutionary album “BRITISH STEEL”. A new superb recording that allows you to experience the scene 100% live has been excavated. It is an urgent release decision! This work is imprinted with the “Rochester performance on July 2, 1980”. It is a superb audience recording. JUDAS PRIEST gradually progressed to heavier since their debut, but it was only “BRITISH STEEL” that invented “Heavy Metal”. The album was filled with a tight feeling of steel that was squeezed to the limit and music with a riff attack from beginning to end, and the mysterious keyword “heavy metal” was embodied even in the lyrics and costumes. And the “BRITISH STEEL Tour” that showed off that new music to the whole world was a revolutionary tour. This work is a live album that allows you to experience the site of such a tour at its best. First, let’s take a bird’s-eye view of the revolutionary tour and check the position of this work. March 7th – April 1st: UK (21 performances) {April 11th “British Steel” released} April 12th – 26th: Europe (12 performances) May 25th – August 6th: North America (46 performances) ←★Here★ August 16th: MONSTERS OF ROCK performance August 23rd: GOLDEN SUMMER NIGHT performance {October “Golden Spectrum” production begins} This is JUDAS PRIEST in 1980. The tour was structured to expand its influence from the UK to continental Europe to North America. The Rochester performance of this work is the 28th performance of “North America”, the main leg. The sound board press masterpiece “DEFINITIVE DENVER 1980 (Zodiac 265)” also reigns as a standard, but this work was also a week later. This vacuum-packed show is a superb masterpiece that will wake you up. It’s a newly excavated sound source that was released just recently, but the sound digitized from the original master is extremely clear and terrifyingly direct. It’s an audience recording because it absorbs the strangely realistic enthusiasm, but the twin riffs and vocals that run through it are disgustingly clear. Well… it’s an expression that only our customers can understand, but it feels like “somewhere between an official sound board and a Kinney recording”. The hall sound is light and full of “beauty only for the customer recording”, but the listening response is like FM broadcasting. Rob Halford’s shout is particularly strong. While cutting through the air with a sharp tip, the sound is metallic and glossy, and even the subtleties of the vibrato are super clear. To be honest, the heroic voice is so beautiful that I tell myself, “This is not an FM sound source, it’s a customer recording.” The beautiful sound depicts the revolutionary scene that slams the charm of the new music “Heavy Metal”. Of course, the axis is the new songs of “BRITISH STEEL”, but the selection sense is far from modern. Let’s organize the contents here. British Steel (4 songs) Living After Midnight / You Don’t Have To Be Old To Be Wise / Grinder / Steeler 70’s Classics (8 songs) Wings of Destiny: The Ripper / Victim Of Changes / Genocide / Tyrant Others: Hell Bent For Leather / Running Wild / Sinner / Beyond The Realms Of Death … and so on. A set that incorporates “BRITISH STEEL” based on “IN THE EAST”. There is nothing strange about it in itself, but when you look at the breakdown, you can see that “You Don’t Have To Be Old To Be Wise” and “Steeler” are lined up, ignoring historical classics such as “Breaking the Law” and “Metal Gods”. It’s a real-time spectacular that you don’t know which songs will become classics yet. And that dynamism is also present in the performance itself, making it a very vivid show. Anyway, it’s an incredible transcendental sound. It’s a shocking live album that allows you to fully experience the revolutionary “BRITISH STEEL Tour” with unusually high sound quality. Not only have the big classics not yet been decided, but the “standard of heavy metal” has not yet been decided. They were just trying to figure out what “metal is”. The cutting edge of such an era is a new recording that blows out of the speakers. This is the birth of a new masterpiece that you should face with all your heart and soul. A super-class audience recording of the “Rochester performance on July 2, 1980”. The sound digitized from the original master of the newly excavated sound source released just recently is ferociously clear and terrifyingly direct. The twin riffs and vocals are so clear that it’s almost creepy, like “somewhere between an official sound board and a Kinney recording”. “You Don’t Have To Be Old To Be Wise” and “Steeler” are also delicious, and this new masterpiece allows you to fully experience the revolutionary “BRITISH STEEL Tour”.
