Judas Priest,Quiet Riot/UK 1983

JUDAS PRIEST, who embodied the utopia of British metal with their famous album “DEFENDERS OF THE FAITH,” and QUIET RIOT, the flag bearers of LA metal who rose to become the darlings of the era with “METAL HEALTH.” Introducing a masterpiece original recording made by four iconic bands of British and American metal during their heyday. [A miraculous show where the symbols of British and American metal collided] This work was recorded at “Leicester performance on December 28, 1983”. This is a superb audience recording that records the whole story. Speaking of 1983, both men were at their peak. Here, let’s look back at the combination of both schedules and check the show’s position. January 4th – February 21st: North America #1 (34 performances) February 28th: ​​Albany performance [“METAL HEALTH” released on March 11th] March 18th – May 27th: North America #2 (14 performances) Performances) May 29th: Appeared at US FESTIVAL ’83 June 4th – December 3rd: North America #3 (99 performances)《“DEFENDERS OF THE FAITH” completed in November》 December 12th – 22nd: Europe ( 9 performances) ← [Here] December 27th-31st: North America #4 (5 performances) *Note: “★” marks are performances by JUDAS PRIEST, “◇” marks are performances by QUIET RIOT. This is Ryoyu’s 1983. It’s a bit chaotic, but JUDAS PRIEST’s only schedule is “North America #1”, which was the final leg of the “Scream of Revenge Tour”, and the rest are basically QUIET RIOT, so it’s easy to see. Among them, the two men shared the stage at the legendary “US Festival” and the “Europe” tour in December, which was the beginning of the “Rule of Immorality Tour”. The Leicester performance of this work was the 7th concert of such “Europe”. Also, this “1983 European Tour” is special and glorious for the history of both men. First of all, on the JUDAS PRIEST side, although they achieved a breakthrough with “Wings of Vengeance” the previous year, their tour was limited to North America. The “1983 European Tour” was a triumphant return tour to their home country of England. And for QUIET RIOT, this is the first overseas performance made possible by “METAL HEALTH”. It was the ultimate stage where both of them were in the midst of a huge hit and collided with each other at their peak. [Excellent evidence by master Crazy S.] This work conveys a show scene that can only be described as “historic”, and the sound is also historic. After all, this work was recorded by the master craftsman “Crazy S.”. This is one of the most famous products that has been digitized directly from the original cassette. The sound is truly the work of a master. The heyday of the “Crazy S.” collection was in the late 1980s, and 1983 was a relatively early period. Therefore, this work cannot be said to be his best masterpiece, but it has a clear sound and a strong and strong core flavor. Although it absorbs the enthusiasm of the scene, it doesn’t even come between the sound of the performance and the sound. You can clearly enjoy the harsh guitar riffs and the energetic beats. And even more than that is the vocals. Even though it’s metal, the most important thing in the early 80’s is the vocals, and this is a great recording that captures the live singing of charismatic British and American artists Rob Halford and Kevin Dubrow with plenty of direct feeling. What is portrayed with such a sound is the ultimate heavy metal battle. As you can see from the schedule above, the first meeting between the two men was at the legendary “US Festival”, where both have professional shots. Here, let’s organize the sets while comparing them. QUIET RIOT (8 songs)・METAL HEALTH: Run for Cover/Love’s a Bitch/Slick Black Cadillac/Let’s Get Crazy/Metal Health (Bang Your Head)/Cum On Feel the Noize・Others: Danger Zone JUDAS PRIEST (16 songs)・Wings of Fate: The Ripper (★) / Victim Of Changes ・Gate of Betrayal: Sinner (★) ・Murder Machine: The Green Manalishi (With the Two Prong Crown) / Hell Bent For Leather ・British Steel: Grinder (★) ／Metal Gods／Breaking The Law／Living After Midnight・Golden Spectrum: Desert Plains (★)・Screaming for Vengeance: Hellion/Electric Eye／Riding On The Wind／Bloodstone (★)／Screaming For Vengeance／You’ve Got Another Thing Comin’ – Code of Immorality: Freewheel Burning (★) *Note: Songs marked with a “★” cannot be heard in the “US FESTIVAL ’83” pro shot. …and it looks like this. Since QUIET RIOT is the opening act, it further enriches the “US Festival”. A special style that carefully selects from the masterpiece “METAL HEALTH” and adds the precious “Danger Zone”. On the other hand, JUDAS PRIEST is the headliner, so the volume has increased significantly. Although it is very similar to “LIVE VENGEANCE ’82”, it also features “Grinder”, which cannot be heard there, and the featured new song “Freewheel Burning”. The show that was put together with that set was so passionate and amazing! A special spirit is added to the potential of both of them to climax, and the tension is extremely intense. And the scene where we witnessed such a symbol of British and American metal was scorching hot. As mentioned above, this work is dominated by the thick performance sound, and the loud cheers are just a sashimi tip. However, you could still feel the heat that was being ignited, and that was fed back to the stage. The performance is as passionate as an iron pot stirred over high heat, simmering and then gushing out. Anyway, it’s a utopia of scorching steel music. In terms of the entire scene, 1983 was the year when metal exploded, and this work is filled with the energy of the top British and American bands that were at the forefront of that. Although it is a musical work that simply allows you to enjoy a collection of famous songs with wonderful sound, the “passion of the times” that surrounds it is too amazing. What this work is packed with is the era and place that any metal fan would want to witness. This is evidence of a metal explosion.
