Can you believe it's been almost three years since I last analyzed Rob Halford and Judas Priest? I couldn't, and I'm ashamed. So what better way to return to one of the greats than at one of the greatest rock concerts of all time (so I'm told): Live Aid! Yes, I'll get to Queen, but first, let's check out one of Judas Priest's most iconic songs!

Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to Judas Priest performing "Living After Midnight" for the first time.

To those commenting and to head that off: I was made aware that his performance had massive feedback on the audio during the performance - and it's ear wrenching at times. I chose to still do this version even after being made aware so I could talk about it. Even after hearing it, I chose to still release this video instead of release it just to Patrons. So please, enjoy!

Rob Halford doesn't walk across the stage; he struts with absolute confidence.

Judas Priest's "The Sentinel" from the 1986 Fuel for Life tour is so good, and so many people are recommending it. Please please check it out, I hope we don't have to wait three more years lol.

“A Touch of Evil” from the album Painkiller definitely highlights R.H.’s incredible high range. More of a metal ballad insofar as the tempo is slower than the rest of the album.

[Toddzilla]

I saw Judas Priest a year ago when Halford was 71 years old. We were 11 rows back from the stage. At one point Halford sat on a stair on the left side of the stage, put his microphone down by his side, and let out a yell. Then he let out another one. We clearly heard him above the PA and not just a whisper—it was strong and clear. The guitars may be tuned down a bit, but Rob Halford is absolutely making the best of his remaining ability. It was a great show.

Background on the song.The band was recording their British Steel album at Tittenhurst Park, an estate once owned by John Lennon. One night around 4 a.m., guitarist Glenn Tipton set up his amp and started working out riffs in the big room where they did most of their work - the one where Lennon wrote "Imagine." Halford's bedroom was upstairs, and it woke him up. He came down, asked Tipton to turn down his amp, and told him, "You're living after midnight down here, you are!" Tipton replied, "That is a great title for a song." Halford wrote the lyric that day.

Rob is such an awesome human being I think you could probably even get him on your Channel

[richardchocolas]

Judas Priest was the band that turned me onto Heavy Metal and I've been hooked for 50 years. Rob Halford's voice is absolutely phenomenal and legendary

[wineguzzlinguy]

I saw judas priest only one time back in the eighties. Screaming for vengeance tour. They were a great live band on stage. Rob hallford is both a showman and incredible vocalist. Some band called iron maiden opened for them and they weren't half bad either.

[nikoltsis]

Run of the Mill by Judas Priest is an epic song for review.
It is a song with deep meaning lyrics.
Rob Halford uses his most dramatic and high notes he has.
Especially after the guitar solo the track builds a crescendo and then Rob shines.
It really worth it to review it.
Happy the new year to everyone from Thessaloniki, Greece.

You still have not heard what Halford is capable of. (I think he sounds pretty rough here, like he stayed too late, drinking too much.) Also, Midnight is more of a radio-friendly Hard Rock anthem than a Metal song. Hope you follow up with one of the suggestions offered in the comments. My favorites include DIAMONDS AND RUST (the Joan Baez song), THE GREEN MANALISHI (a Fleetwood Mac cover), and ELECTRIC EYE.

[tonywilliams]

Thank you sooo much for dissecting Rob Halford. I grew up on him with “Screaming for Vengeance”. There’s a reason he’s known as the metal god.

[EvilPain]

If you listen to "Love bites" or "The Sentinel" from the FUEL FOR LIFE TOUR (86) you'll be just floored

But I think "The Sinner" from "Unleashed in the east" live is my favorite scream/squeals the METAL g*d delivers ... ALWAYS get a kick out of them and get some injection of energy whenever I need some

Well done Lady Charisma ... enjoyed the episode ... Thank you

Cheers from Seoul ... hailz

Judas Priest's Fuel for Life tour is great (all live recordings on youtube). The Sentinel especially. Rob Halford is totally on point and according to his book, it was his first sober tour (1986).

[generoberts]

You really need to do one of their recent versions of “Diamonds and Rust” . Sung as a ballad. You could really break down his vocals. Off the charts

[bluesdog]

I was there at Live Aid. I loved Priest’s performance but the prevailing question my buddies & I had was “How can they be dressed in full leather in this heat???” It was early and already in the low 90’s!

[DLevasseur]

Quite honesely, I love Judas Priest. I pay for a ticket not only to hear the band, but to hear Rob belt out his screams. Worth the price of admission

[aravinds]

You have got to analyse Judas Priest live in Dallas 1986 - Fuel for Life tour. Their performances were some of the best and Halford's vocals are superb. It showcases how easily he can jump around the vocal range. I'd suggest Love Bites or The Sentinel

[dowyler]

One of my all time favorite bands. I was lucky enough to see them live in concert in the early 80s and let me tell you they don't disappoint. As I was finding my way through music as an awkward teenager, Screaming for Vengeance was the fist album I bought of theirs and I played it till the cassette wore out. I will always love Judas Priest and am so grateful to Rob and the boys for making such great music.

[MetalPilgrim]

This is why Rob Halford is a Metal God!🤘 Love your videos, Elizabeth ;)
