Priest...Live! Reviews:
The Best 
2009-12-21 - I love Priest. This is their Best ever. I listen to both cds without skipping tracks. It makes you feel like you're there. Priest lives forever .
It's the turrrbooo luvvvver... 
2007-05-19 - Man this record is just a great big glob of cheese. Cheesy production, cheesy songs and oh man....Halford is really cheesing it up! This tepid live offering, issued the month I graduated high school was purchased for the sole reason that I loved Priest! Turbo was a lame album, and a live disc from that tour was not something to look forward to but I was a loyal fan and I bought it. If 'Unleashed in the East' is the epitome of metal greatness, the 'Priest Live' is the epitome of comercial sellout. The video sucks too. "Private Property" and "Parental Guidance" are embarassments! "Rock You All Around the World"? Give me a break! There in lies the problem with 'Live', five songs from 'Turdbo' and four from 'Defenders'. Not enough 'British Steel' or 'Screaming' songs. Probably a good thing since the production sounds muted and decidedly more like chick rock! Def Leppard was great but why was Priest trying to look and sound like them......$$$$$$$$$$$ probably but at what expense??
If you already own Electric Eye Dvd, this album is worthless 
2006-09-26 - Seriously, Metal Gods is the only extra song on this version (although you can hear it playing during the credits, which pisses me off. Why didn't they put a clip of that performance?).
OK Live Attempt 
2001-11-25 - I was somewhat disapointed in this release. Not that it is bad but I was expecting something a whole lot better. I guess there is only one thing I can blame this on, and it is pretty obvious: these songs were taken from the "Turbo" tour. That should say it all. Turbo was definetly the bands worst release. The production is similar to that of Turbo which brings it down also.Turbo I believed was made by computer generated music(so was Defenders Of The Faith)and that made the music like...STINK.Well here is what I think of each individual song:
1.Out In The Cold-Disgraceful intro number. As soon as I started to hear this I was getting ready to go back inside the music store and get my money back. It's terrible
2.Heading Out To The Highway-Better follow-up song. I thought it was really good although the origional surfaced on "Point Of Entry" was much better due to better production. But it ain't bad
3.Metal Gods-I truely really like this song. But the attack of the killer production strikes again and tears this song to bits.
4.Breaking The Law-This is truely the 1st song where I would say it is better than the origional. It is more fast paced and has falsetto in it which I think was for the better. Trust me the version on "British Steel" kind of blows but this one is really pretty good
5.Love Bites-Another good song. Sounds pretty much like the version on "Defenders Of The Faith" though. All in all though its good
6.Some Heads Are Gonna Roll-I never really thought much of this song, but its still not all that bad.
7.The Sentinel-Dynamite song. It's intro just blows my mind away. Great selection
8.Private Property-This is the point where the album starts to go downhill. I honestly did not like this one. I just like Stinks
9.Rock You Around The World-This song is not bad. It has a heavy guitar intro and is fast paced so I give it at least some respect
10.Electric Eye-Good song. Was affected a little by the production though, but I love this song so It will do. Dose include "The Hellion" intro
11.Turbo Lover-This is the one song off of "Turbo" that is somewhat decent. It's slow and dramatic and I think it dose deserve some attention. So all in all its a pretty good song.
12.Freewheel Burning-Here we come to the best part of the CD. With the motorcycle at the beginning this song is made to be one of the best live recording's I have ever heard. It is faster also which I think is for the better. Definetly listen to this one if any
13.Parental Guidance-Bad song. No further comments
14.Living After Midnight-This really makes up for the disaster of "Parental Guidance". This song is still strong and I still love it
15.You've Got Another Thing Coming-Great Outro number. It was expanded by about 3 minutes which I think is even better. So its a good live recording
So all in all its an OK album, although it could have been a whole lot better. But if you see it marked down about 10 dollars go ahead and buy it.
Not as good as being there, but... 
2001-08-09 - In '87 I was trying to get out of high school (finally!), & this was definitely getting 5 stars from me cuz it was like, all the best from British Steel to Turbo. It was about time to hear all the classics live, you know? Like what more could you want?
Now I wish I could hear more of a real set list including some of the earlier material. Maybe the band would be kind enough to dig into the vaults & put out a prime show from like, '83? But anyways I still say 4 stars cuz all the material rocks today as much as it did back then (including the five(!) songs off of Turbo). Definitely required for fans but not an all time great.
Some have commented about the flat sound. I think I agree when played @ lower volume levels. But it shreds when you crank it. This goes for a lot of JP albums, actually. Just remember, this music is meant to be listened at TOTAL MAXIMUM ROAR!
