Judas Priest — Hammersmith Apollo, 2012

Why this recording

Shot on 26 May 2012 at the Hammersmith Apollo, the Epitaph film was directed and edited by Alex Walker; the Front Row Music channel, which points to its digital release from Sony Pictures, carries the whole programme here, just over two hours and twenty minutes. Two covers slip in: Joan Baez's “Diamonds & Rust” and Fleetwood Mac's “The Green Manalishi”. Two songs stretch out notably, with “Victim of Changes” running past eleven minutes and “You've Got Another Thing Comin'” close to thirteen. The show opens with the “Battle Hymn” intro leading into “Rapid Fire”.

Filmed live concert by Judas Priest at London’s Hammersmith Apollo in 2012, capturing the close of the Epitaph Tour, presented at the time as the band’s final major world tour. Pioneers of British heavy metal out of Birmingham and, with albums such as British Steel, founders of the genre’s leather-and-studs imagery, Priest here celebrate four decades of career. This full concert of more than two hours features one song from each of their studio albums: a rare panorama spanning their entire discography. The line-up brings together Rob Halford on vocals (the “Metal God” and his piercing range), the guitars of Glenn Tipton and newcomer Richie Faulkner, Ian Hill on bass and Scott Travis on drums. Signature tracks — “Breaking the Law”, “Living After Midnight”, “You’ve Got Another Thing Comin'” — sit alongside rarer material. This live performance documents a pivotal moment in metal, between legacy and renewal. Year: 2012. This full-length live concert is available to watch online in high definition.
