FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
JUDAS PRIEST TO RELEASE VINTAGE CONCERT DVD 'LIVE VENGEANCE '82' ON
APRIL 4, 2006 THROUGH COLUMBIA/LEGACY
PREVIOUSLY ONLY AVAILABLE ON DVD AS LIMITED-EDITION BONUS WITH
'METALOGY' BOX SET
Judas Priest had steadily been building a worldwide audience for eight
long years when the 1982 album 'Screaming For Vengeance' exploded and
became a smash commercial and critical hit. The mainstream had finally
caught on and realized what die-hard fans had known all along: Nobody
rocked harder or better than the British heavy metal quintet. The single
'You've Got Another Thing Comin' was embraced by radio and the music
video earned heavy rotation on MTV.
Columbia Records and Legacy Recordings will release the DVD 'Live
Vengeance '82' on April 4, 2006. It was previously only available on DVD
as a limited-edition bonus disc with the first pressings of Judas
Priest's career-spanning box set 'Metalogy' in 2004. This performance,
filmed during the arena-packing 'Screaming For Vengeance' world tour on
December 12, 1982, at Mid-South Coliseum in Memphis, Tennessee, was
first released on home video in 1983 as 'Judas Priest - Live'. It had
been out of print for many years before its brief inclusion as part of
'Metalogy'.
Vocalist Rob Halford, lead guitarists Glenn Tipton and K.K. Downing and
bass guitarist Ian Hill lead Judas Priest through a fiery set comprised
of classics from previous albums such as 'Sad Wings Of Destiny', 'Sin
After Sin', 'Hell Bent For Leather', 'British Steel' and 'Point Of
Entry' as well as the cream of 'Screaming For Vengeance'.
The 17 tracks on 'Live Vengeance '82' include: 'The Hellion/Electric
Eye', 'Riding On The Wind', 'Heading Out To The Highway', 'Metal Gods',
'Bloodstone', 'Breaking The Law', 'Sinner', 'Desert Plains', 'The
Ripper', 'Diamonds And Rust', 'Devil's Child', 'Screaming For
Vengeance', 'You've Got Another Thing Comin',' 'Victim Of Changes',
'Living After Midnight', 'The Green Manalishi (With The Two-Pronged
Crown)' and 'Hell Bent For Leather'.
The 'Live Vengeance '82' audio is mastered in both stereo and 5.1
Surround Sound mixes.
