JUDAS PRIEST - PRIEST...LIVE! (1987)

[RJhog (Admin)]

Priest's second live album was released in 1987.  Unlike the first live album, Priest...Live! was a double album.  The album was recorded in Dallas, Texas as well as in Atlanta, Georgia at The Omni, which no longer exists.  The album had a Top 40 showing in the U.S. (#38) and received a Gold certification.  None of the 70's songs were included in the original release, though Hell Bent For Leather was included as a bonus track on the 2001 CD reissue.  For me, I think it's a very good sounding live recording.  In general, I prefer the track listing on the previous live album.  However, some of these songs that did not impress me on the studio version sounded much better here.  I thought the opening track, Out In The Cold, was a strange opener at first, but I actually like the choice.  Regardless, let's see where this one ends up in the current album ranking.
