Judas Priest - Electric Eye (DVD, 2003)

In 1986, heavy metal act Judas Priest was enjoying Gold Record success for their album Turbo (which would go Platinum in '89) and touring more than ten countries promoting it. No country was receiving the album better than the US, so they decided to record a show in Texas for an upcoming album: 'Priest... Live!'. Video footage was also recorded and released on VHS, but the modern Priest fans needed a new way to watch the show: on DVD. Enter Electric Eye, 2003.

The DVD has a lot of stuff on it - the kind of "stuff" that would make any Priest fan drool. The highlight of the release was the 1986 'Priest... Live!' concert included in remastered DVD quality. The video looks and sounds amazing, not to mention the concert itself, which shows the Priest playing in their prime. Classics like 'You've Got Another Thing Coming', 'Breaking The Law' among many others are played to perfection.

Not only a concert, though, the DVD has all of the band's promo videos released to date (2003). 'Living After Midnight', 'Heading Out To The Highway', 'Freewheel Burning' and 'Painkiller', are just a few. The videos look and sound very nice, much better than the original releases, and are a great retrospect of the band's history.

The best part of this heavy metal package, however, is the "Extras" section, which includes six (never-before released on video) BBC Television performances. Some are lip-synced, others are live, but either way it's equally entertaining. Songs like 'Rocka Rolla', 'Take On The World' and 'United' are three of the six appearing on the DVD.

Even the DVD's booklet insert is exciting: it includes a lengthy message from the band!

With a classic 1986 concert, promo videos, and old-school BBC performances, Judas Priest's Electric Eye DVD is a flawless effort to keep the fans happy.

This DVD is packed full of great footage from Priest. Included is most of the videos they released over the years as well as some early performances from various television shows. As an added bonus is an entire concert filmed in Texas during their Turbo Tour of '86-'87 which shows the band at the peak of their popularity. Halford is in fine form as is the band. The film and sound quality on this DVD is excellent! This would make a great purchase for any Judas Priest fan and you will not be disappointed.
I give this DVD a 5 out of 5 stars rating!

This DVD is a great combination of live music and videos.  The dvd has all the music you want to hear from the glory days of Judas Priest.  There are both videos and live performances of all their best songs.  This dvd is a couple of hours of metal at its best.  Highly recommend.

EVERY conert they play is awesome, but that is their mantra. Videos of their performances are treasures to the Priest fan. I would encourage JP fans to buy this and every video they can find of this band. We have 3 that are priceless to us. Terrific investment in memories and music!!

Diehard fans will love the old BBC video of the early Judas Priest. I hope more vintage stuff is on the way. The band is great and getting better with each release. Rob is back and the band is in exxxxxxcellent form. Dont miss this jewel.
