36 years ago this week, the Priest was back and told us all that we donโ€™t need no โ€œParental Guidanceโ€ here!



On June 21, 1987, Judas Priest released their second live album โ€œPriest...Live! via Columbia Records.



The album was recorded at The Omni, Atlanta, Georgia on June 15, 1986 and the Reunion Arena, Dallas, Texas on June 27, 1986.



Background:

All of the songs on โ€œPriest...Live!โ€ were recorded on their 1986 โ€œFuel for Life tourโ€ which supported the album โ€œTurboโ€.



There were no tracks from their 1970s albums, though the 2001 remastered version did contain "Hell Bent for Leather" as a bonus track.



While it may have sounded more "live" than โ€œUnleashed in the Eastโ€, โ€œPriest...Live!โ€ did not sell as well as that album. However, the RIAA certified it Gold in October 2001.



The version of "Heading Out to the Highway" on this album includes separate guitar solos by K.K. Downing and Glenn Tipton that were not on the original studio version, while the performance of "Breaking the Law" includes an additional Downing solo.



The album was first released on June 21, 1987 as a 2-LP set in a gatefold sleeve with artwork inners. It was re-released as part of the 2001 'The Re-Masters' series and includes three live bonus tracks.



The live video was recorded in its entirety at the Reunion Arena in Dallas, Texas on June 27, 1986, and was released on Betamax, VHS and LaserDisc in 1987. The video includes the songs "Locked In", "Desert Plains", "The Green Manalishi (With the Two Prong Crown)" and "Hell Bent for Leather", which were left off the original vinyl/cassette/CD release, and was certified Gold in February 1988.



The video for this concert was featured on the Judas Priest DVD โ€œElectric Eyeโ€ in 2003.
