Many doubted that Judas Priest would find a vocalist to capably fill the shoes of legendary frontman Rob Halford. With Ripper Owens, the band found not only a Priest fanatic, but a talented screamer in his own right. Proving that his studio performance on Jugulator was no hoax, Owens displays performing talents on this vigorous double-live album. For concert album cynics, heed this: half of these 23 tunes have not been performed on the two previous Priest live discs, and Owens really belts out those screams with greater accuracy than Halford was able to summon in his last few years in the band. The metal legends unleash the long-lost pre-speed-metal classic "Rapid Fire"; they play an inspired acoustic version of "Diamonds & Rust" that's closer to Joan Baez's original than Priest's 1977 cover; and they dig up two previously unperformed Jugulator songs. Most of what's heard here rates from very good to excellent, though one wishes that "Burn in Hell" wasn't abbreviated and that "Dreamer Deceiver" wasn't excluded; and a few of the mixes could be cleaner. Still, this very live-sounding record (complete with essential raucous audience participation) captures the potent force of a Judas Priest concert performance. --Bryan Reesman

Customer Reviews:

Priest best live cd since Unleashed In The East!!.......2006-07-13

This puppy roars from the opening cord right through to the end. Classic Priest songs and newer offerings sound awesome. Ripper really takes charge in this and the overall vibe and intensity is in full swing. Ripper can really belt it out and he's in fine form here. The sound is really good and the song selection is killer.

The cd totally rocks folks!!

JUDAS PRIEST HEAVY METAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2005-06-10

NOW...... this is an awesome release! Every song on this double cd gets a perfect 10 in my book! I saw the Priest during this tour with Ripper and man...talk about a set of pipes on that voice!!!!! I truly have to disagree with a couple of reviewers stating that "this is horrible" cause "it doesn't have halford" and another saying that "it's not essential because it doesn't hold up to Beast in the East (actually Unleashed in the East) or Priest...Live. Sorry Charley, neither one of those release are as energetic as this one. I can say this too! I have been a fan for over 25 years. In fact, the Priest...Live cd...well, let's not even go there! This IS the Judas Priest Live cd to own. Those wondering if they should take a chance...DO IT! You won't be disappointed!!!!!!!

Terrible.......2005-02-04

I bought this cd not realizing "Ripper" Owens was on lead vocals- bad mistake. All you have to do is listen to the sample of Victim Of Changes provided here on Amazon. Of course Tipton and Downing sound great, but just wait until the vocals kick in. It's absolutely awful. He sounds like the stereotypical wannabe heavy metal singer from a cheeseball cover band you'd see at the local rock club in the 80's. Do yourself a favor- save your money on this one and pick up an earlier Priest cd with Halford- Unleashed In The East is the best Live one- I'm buying the latest compilation box- only 4 songs from Crapper Owens.

Fuck Yeah!.......2005-01-29

aight. First of all, Judas Priest kicks ass. i started listening to them just recently, and i already own 4 of their CDs. i have to say, this is by far, the best out of all of them. here are some ratings:

2. Electric Eye: once again, non-live version is better 7/10

4. Grinder: not too bad. 8/10

5. Rapid Fire: not bad either. 8/10

6. Blood Stained: pretty cool song. 9/10

23. Hell Bent For Leather: not the best. 8/10

24. Living after Midnight: this song is better when it isnt live. still ok tho. 8/10

if you lke this, get Demolition. it is awesome. one of their heaviest CDs. if you want a lighter CD with some good songs, try Living After Midnight. anyway. this 2 CD set is Kick-ASS. you need it if you like any metal at all.

Heavy.......2003-04-19

I like new Judas Priest in its own way. I mean, it has three core members, their best drummer and Ripper is good. But it's not close to the best of the classic stuff. That being said, most of the songs on here are very heavy and as should be expected with a good live album, more immediate than the studio versions. The set list is excellent, though they should've included Cathedral Spires, hands down the best song Priest have written post-Halford. Ripper shows he can sing the classics. Though the drum intro to Painkiller here makes the original seem like a studio trick. If you don't mind new Priest you'll like this. Old fans who didn't necessarily like the new studio albums should pick this up. I give Ripper credit as being a good singer but let's face it no one compares to Rob Halford except King Diamond and a couple others.

Ripper can sing!.......2000-01-23

the new priest album "98 live meltdown" is brilliant to say the least! After the jugulator album I was a little dissapointed at Rippers abbility in such a high profile band as priest, but he is very capable and redeemed himself completely. Screeching vocals from his part and terifying riffs from K.K and Glen make for the perfect combination. The audience participation is awesome, if you turn it loud enough you could swear that you are there.Guitars are just a little thin at times,but that well blame on the technicians and producers.The new solo in breaking the law is tremendous and then there is also the slow version of diamonds and rust..If there was ever a man who could sing it's the ripper. Rob's days are numbered and not really missed,and if there was ever 2 guitarist's who understood each other completely and knew each others capability it is the riff masters Glenn & k.k. Tremendous Album from beginning to end. GET IT NOW!
