Despite often being hailed as part of the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal - termed by Sounds Magazine in 1979 - Judas Priest formed a decade earlier, in 1969.
Hailing from Birmingham, the current line-up consists of Rob Halford, guitarists Glenn Tipton and Richie Faulkner, bassist Ian Hill and drummer Scott Travis.
The band's best-selling album is 1982's Screaming for Vengeance, with their most commercially successful line-up featuring Hill, Halford, Tipton, guitarist K. K. Downing, and drummer Dave Holland.
As vocalist Halford left the band in 1992, and only returned in 2003, Tipton and Hill are the only two of the band to appear on every Priest album.
Judas Priest have sold over 50 million albums and are frequently ranked as one of the greatest metal bands of all time.
Despite an innovative and pioneering body of work in the latter half of the 1970s, the band had struggled with indifferent record production and a lack of major commercial success until 1980, when the album British Steel brought them notable mainstream attention.
DISC ONE contains Priest’s October 1979 show from Seattle, in Washington state, USA, while the band were on their Killing Machine tour.
DISC TWO continues the set with their May 1986 concert from Kansa City, played as part of another US tour, while promoting the Turbo album, released in March the same year.
DISC THREE concludes this superb collection with Judas Priest’s gig in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in September 2001, a show which was played while promoting their Demolition album. Both the concert and the album featured, Tim "Ripper" Owens on vocals, Rob Halford’s replacement during his decade long hiatus.
