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.Read full review
Great bonus material. Several videos, television spots of the early days, and a concert from Dallas in 1986 when they are at the top of their game. Very successful band when they play this date in Dallas and the band are brimming with confidence. I loved seeing the promo videos again. MTV rarely showed Priest in 1982 or any other year. Used to have wait days and hours to see Priest ever on MTV. Glad to see this much material all packaged together. Must have for a true Priest fan. Great sound and picture quality throughout this release. Can be played loud on high end HDMI equipment. Very enjoyable sound!

This has an excellent full length concert at the peak of their popularity, and numerous videos and early sessions as they were learning how to be the metal gods! A must have for any Judas Priest fan.

Lots of must-haves here for even the casual Judas Priest fan, including all of the Rob Halford-era music videos through Painkiller, throw-back TV appearances, and the full-length Priest...Live concert film (also available as a live album) recorded during the Turbo tour. Until this material shows itself on Blu-Ray, this comp is the place to be for metal godness.
