Binding: Audio CDEAN: 6969986182206 Format: Extra tracks, Live, Original recording remastered Label: Sony Manufacturer: Sony MPN: 86182 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Sony Release Date: November 06, 2001 Studio: Sony Editorial Review: Amazon.com: While Judas Priest's first three Columbia albums displayed a band that seemed musically restless and a bit wary of becoming just another rock caricature, their first official live album offers up a strong distillation of the musical sense that informed those records (along with earlier material from Sad Wings of Destiny) and is a testament to their KK Dowling/Glen Tipton fueled twin-guitar fury. The fact that vocalist Rob Halford's tracks (allegedly damaged in the recording process) were later replaced in the studio has long been a bone of contention to purists (though hardly an unusual practice in the industry), but fresh ears may find the "problem" actually resulted in a better-sounding record. More gratifying, the original album's manic sensibility has been amped even further by the inclusion of four key live, previously unreleased bonus tracks--"Rock Forever," "Delivering the Goods," "Hell Bent for Leather," and "Starbreaker." This digitally remastered edition also features new notes by the band and expanded artwork. This is Judas Priest's early arena rock at its over-the-top best: big, loud, and wholly unapologetic. --Jerry McCulley Average Rating:
 Rating: - Finest Aged Cheddar...There's good cheese and bad cheese; at their best, Judas Priest was the former, and this live offering from 1978 in front of a crowd of adoring Japanese shows them at their very best. For those not familiar with the Metal Gods, Unleashed in the East is the best introduction. Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath may have created the framework for Anglo Saxon Heavy Music, but the Priest, by ditching the blues changes for baroque prog structures, adding a second guitar, and playing at blinding velocity, may ...

But if you don't buy the disc then you have to buy the "Green Manalishi" download. The live version of "Green Manalishi" is one of the greatest rock songs ever and I don't mean one of the greatest live songs ever but one of the greatest rock songs ever! Do not buy the studio version of "Green Manalishi", it pales in comparison to the live version. Rating: - marshall stacksas far as i know, this was the first album that was unrelenting metal from first song to last. no artsy stuff, no mood pieces, just pounding metal all the way through. want to hear early priest at their best, here it is. Rating: - One of the all time best live Metal recordingsIf you could only own 2 albums by Judas Priest, get this one and "Sad Wings Of Destiny." Both are flawless and show off the considerable compositional and performing talents of this amazing band. "Unleashed In The East" was a blueprint for future rockers and heavy metalist and is considered one of the all time best live recordings of a metal band, get it and you'll see why. Priest rule: and this album is one of the reasons. Rating: - Good God......pluck me!In 1979, there was no band heavier than Judas Priest! Motorhead and AC/DC were worthy contenders, but only Lemmy's boys came close to ripping your head off like Priest at the end of the '70's. A live testament is usually a metal bands claim to faim and the boys produced a whopper in 'Unleashed in the East' in October of said year. In many ways, this record was the ultimate greatest hits package as classics from 'Sad Wings' ran alongside the best of their Columbia Records years to date. "Sinner" is long, ... Read More |
