Judas Priest - Unleashed In The East

[Highway Star]

Studio or Live? what do you, guys, think?

[unchainedguitars]

Fucking awesome, regardless!

Green Manalishi is God-like on here.
I think the tradeoff in that solo between KK & Glenn, is one of the greatest moments in metal!

I think its live, just doctored a bit here & there.
Its still them playing, though.

[Scottie Hutch]

That to me is one of the Greatest Live Albums. I never heard if it got doctored up in the studio afterwards though. Classic Priest Rules!!!

Come on, people, chime in!
This is a defining album in metal, not a fucking Korn record.
Speak up, show some respect to the Metal Gods!

Genocide, Tyrant, Running Wild, Ripper, Victim of fucking changes...
These versions just destroy the studio counterparts.

The cover shot is brilliant, the guitar tones are jawdropping.
Along with UFO's strangers, DC's 'If you want blood', you can't find a better live album.

...Diamonds & Rust on here is magnificent.
"I'll be damned, here comes your ghost again..."
Rob sings the shit out of this Joan Baez classic, and those guitars just sing all over this track.

[Highway Star]

For me that album kicks ass, but it lacks of "live atmosphere". Sounds like a studio album. Rumours of being a cleverly engineered to sound like a "live" recording have been around for years. Halford vocals are out of this world.

Btw, i agree Unchained, that Fleetwood Mac song is amazing. That guitar attack is awesome! The highest point of that album.

Anyway, is a must have. But, to me, World Wide Live of Scorpions and Strangers In the Night are by far the greatest live albums ever!!

Schenker brother!!!

Shoot shoot, love to love...UFO rules!

Don't forget Tokyo Tapes, man.

There's probably not one live album that hasn't had a few tweaks added.

Yes, but this Priest album seems too tweaked to me!

Anyway, since we are talking about live albums, what do you think of Whitesnake's Live...In The Heart Of The City.

For me it's completely killer!! it showcases Coverdale's band at their best and prior to their glam transformation. Plus this lineup kick ass. Ian Paice and Jon Lord included.
