Rushman14 Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Yes! I was at that Long Beach showComing off an era which saw several JUDAS PRIEST albums that have gone down as some of the greatest in the entire history of heavy metal (namely, 1980's "British Steel" and 1982's "Screaming For Vengeance"), the band from Birmingham knew that their next release had to "deliver the goods," to cement their standing as the leaders of metal. And deliver they did, with their platinum-certified 1984 release, "Defenders Of The Faith", which spawned such headbanging classics as "Freewheel Burning", "Jawbreaker", "The Sentinelhttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/icon1.png", "Some Heads Are Gonna Roll" and "Love Biteshttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/icon1.png". And on March 10, 2015, a newly expanded three-CD version of the album will be unleashed via Columbia/Legacy, which includes the original ten-track album remastered by producer Tom Allom, and a complete live recording from the "Defenders" tour, recorded at the Long Beach Arena in California, on May 5, 1984. The 21-track concert (split up over two discs) perfectly balances the then-new material from the group’s ninth studio offering overall, including such classics as "Metal Gods", "Breaking The Law", "Sinner", "Electric Eye", "The Green Manalishi (With The Two-Pronged Crown)", "Victim Of Changes" and "You've Got Another Thing Coming", among many others.As the band states in the liner notes to the reissue, "It's 30 years since we released 'Defenders Of The Faith' — we're very proud to say it has become a classic that's beloved by PRIEST fans throughout the world."

Rick N. Backer Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 I am so in for this. I wish all Deluxe Editions included a live set from that album's tour. DVDs or alternate versions of tunes do nothing for me. I saw these guys with Iron Maiden as the opener. I thought it was the Defenders tour, but it must have Screaming for Vengeance. In any event, phenomenal set list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick N. Backer Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Also, why Priest didn't open every show after SFV was released with The Hellion/Electric Eye is a mystery to me. It's like Spirit of Radio for Rush. It's just a perfect way to kick things off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure who those guys were however that I saw twice in 1979 or who put out that short stack of albums I still have in my collection. I will remember them as they were pre Living After Midnight.

Along with Victim of Changes, Sinner is up there with my favourites. When you got me hooked on Priest, Sin After Sin was the first album I listened to, and Sinner kicked my arse right from the get go! :haz: Damn! I'm looking forward to this one!!!
