Editorial Review:
There was a Time When British Steel was the Hottest, Hardest, and Most Awesome Substance on the Planet. On Judas Priest "Concert Classics", Here it Is, in Its Most Appropriate Circumstances: Live, on Stage. Judas Priest Re-invented Heavy Metal. The First Band to Use the Twin-guitar Attack, They Built on the Foundation Black Sabbath Had Laid and Moved Metal to a New Level. Looking Back on the Body of the Work that the Classic Priest Line-up of Rob Halford, Glenn Tipton, K.k. Downing, Ian Hill and Dave Holland Has Left Us, Nobody is in Any Doubt that the "British Steel" Album was the Finest Studio Work the Band Produced. There Are also Those People who Will Tell You that British Steel was the Finest British Studio Album Ever Made.this Album is Taken from the Tour that Supported the Release of "British Steel" and it Takes the Majesty of that Album Into Its True Context: In Front of a Paying Audience.
Live In Concert 25th June 1980 Reviews:
Disappointing quality 
2009-12-11 - As a Priest fan from way back, I was interested in live recordings of some of the songs that were not on Unleashed In The East, which I consider one of the greatest live albums of all time. Well, there's a reason Unleashed is the definitive Judas Priest live recording of their early years -- it is a professional quality recording. On this disc, the backing vocals burst out over the lead vocals, lead guitars are inaudible over the rhythm section...you get the idea. This is a bad bootleg-quality recording. It's hard to listen to. On the other hand, the CD sleeve had a decent write up of the early history of the band and interesting info on the songs.
Outstanding Vintage Priest Performance 
2009-05-21 - If not for the sound quality, especially on the first few tracks, I would have rated it 5 stars. The sound does get better later in the disc. The mix isn't the best, but the performances are 1st rate, with especially good renditions of Genocide, Grinder and Steeler. It was nice to see the inclusion of You Don't Have to be Old to be Wise, a rarely heard Priest track. Recommended.
Fans Only-this is desktape Qualitly 
2009-03-11 - What Can I say-this is a great set but was never intended for official release,if you are a cUnleashed in the Eastasual fan buy Unleashed in the East, This recording is a bootleg copy and does not translate well.
Unleashed in the studio?
2008-09-13 - I would consider this a treat for serious Priest fans and collectors. It sounds like rough cuts laid down in a studio or maybe at a sound check and I could mainly only hear one guitar track but regardless, I'm glad I purchased this. It's a great addition to my collection and it's a cool time capsule from the band's golden years before they got massive. The performances and sound qualities are tight!
This brings back some memories
2008-07-09 - I don't have a lot to add to the other reviews except that I was at this show and can say it was excellent. One thing the other reviews didn't mention was that Halford rode a motorcycle onto the stage at some point in the show, at least if memory serves correctly. It's been a long time and it's almost certain we had been imbibing. :)
Great show of some killer music.
