The Best Live Album By Priest , And Onr Of the Best In History Even though I'm writig this review late (After the release of Demoltion) . But that will change me mind about this Master piece , Judas Priest's most Powerful live ever and teh best thing they ever released since Painkiller, and teh best thing released with Ripper. This album showes talented Ripper is and shows how Priest are great, how much their classics sound with there new giutar style. From the begining to teh end of 24 tracks it rocks hard. I have listened to this CD more than 1000 times think and I'm still not bored of it. Lets Review the Tracks one by one The Hilleon: Magistec sound opens the concert with great audiance participance Electric Eye: Evil Eye sound even faster and better than the Stodio recording and Ripper starts singing (Here you start noting how talnted Ripper is and you start releazing that he is a suitable replacemnt to Halford); Metal Gods :The magic start , This is the best version of Metal Gods ever , the sound of Glenn and KK guitars rocks hard in the middle of huge audiance particpation ( turn it load and you will swear that you were there, then Ripper starts deilvers mulilayerd voclas , rock the stage when he screams lines like "Marching in the Streets " , " Hiding under Ground" and toward teh end of teh song he start screaming with the audiance. He is better than Halford in this one. Grinder: The magic continues, the best ever recording of Grinder, the best part is when Ripper sceams 'Grinder , looking for meat Grinder, wantd you to eat" . Judas Priest's performance is much better than the original recording in 1980 of British Steel. Rapid Fire: A master piece, this long that was far away from ther lights when it was released , rarly played on live showes, the song was remixed with Ripper as a B side of the Single Bullet Train, but this recordeing is far better than the Brith steel original recording or the remix, you will swear when you hear it there two or three guys sining not Ripper alone, heavy , hard and rocking to the ultimate , Better tahn tahn Halford again. Blood Stained : the first cut from Jugulator, it is a good one , and the live recording is good , and the audiance particpate as will. The Setinel: fast and furiious , but the recordings (live and stdio) with Halford are better. A Touch Of Evil :Another chance to see how good Glenn and KK guitars r great , and Ripper performs a very good job here but not better than Halford. Burn in Hell: great but it is appreaviated ,why??????? The Ripper: Ripper shows that he is teh Ripper here. Bullet Train : the recording of this one is better than the one on jugulator. Byond the Relams Of Death : Here acually Ripper can't perforom as good as Halford, probaly this teh weakest song on the album. Death Row :This has always been my favroute of Jugulator, but it is also appreaviated, no intro. Metal Melt Down : What a surprise , I think no one thought that this track will so excellant. The song is extraordinary here, and Ripper shows his magical voice again, yes every thing melts down with this song. Night Crowler; Great as melt down , but the guitars dos not realy sound like the original Night Crawler on Pain killer , but it is great. Abductors : the best recrding of the Jugulator stuff on this album ( The song is great also, one of teh reasons that does not make Jugulator OK) Victim Of Changes : great of the beging to the end , and teh best is when Ripper screams for about 30 consecutive seconds (What a throut). Diamonds and Rust: A great new version with accoustic guitars making it sound like a new song, I like it , and here you how Ripper can sing so softly , you will be shocked by the music and singing on this one , but I like teh live recording of it with Halford on Unleashed in the east. But this one is extremely marvillous , try to thin of it as a new song. Breaking the Low :Great and Rocking , I like it. The Green Manalishi : Again Ripper is better than Halford on this one , and the guitars are great more like the remix of the song. The sudiance particapation is extraordinary. Painkiller : I was a bit disappointed by this one , because all the previous ones were great But some notes must be pionted out the recording of this song. First the sound of the drums at the beginig is as striong as the stdio , in fact it is not strong at all , why??????And to say the truth Ripper dose not sing the song as it is , he tries but he fails, still OK. YOu Got Another Thing Coming : YOu cant go to a priest concert without listing to this one . Hell Bent For Leather : The best best ever live redording of Hell Bent for Leather , Yes Ripper is much better tahn halford here, and the guitars are so strong on fast. I just repeat this dong for 10 consecutive times when I'm listing to teh album. Living After Midinght :Great audiance particpation and great drums , marvillous gutitars and vocals , the best thing to the closing song for the album. Yes it is great. I recommend that you dhould directly go and buy this one
