The real draw, and the reason to shell out for a new copy of an album you should already have, is a stunning live DVD recorded at the second US Festival held in San Bernardino, California in 1983. The audience, the band inform us in the liner notes, stood in excess of 300,000 with attendees from all over the states, and Priest performed their set in the blistering mid-day sun with an attitude and aggression that simply laid the festival to waste. Performing twelve tracks including brutal highlights from ‘British Steel’, the obligatory Joan Baez and Fleetwood Mac covers (‘Diamonds and rust’ & ‘the green manalishi with the two pronged crown’ respectively) and the bewildering opening thrust of ‘Electric eye’ and ‘riding on the wind’, Judas Priest are represented at their very peak, the band clearly firing off the sheer size and overwhelming enthusiasm of the crowd and the sound (courtesy, once again, of Tom Allom, ably assisted by Richie Kayvan) simply thunders from the speakers. It is quite remarkable that footage of such quality was unearthed considering its age, yet the picture is crystal clear; the sound near perfect; and the concert the ideal snapshot of Priest during their golden period – long-time fans of the band will be in heaven.
