5.0 out of 5 stars Classic... vintage Priest, July 19, 2010

This review is from: British Steel: 30th Anniversary Edition (Audio CD)

I give this cd 5 stars, in spite of the fact that there are definitely reasons to be disappointed. As others have pointed out, there is nothing new on the cd. It is the same remastered cd that was released several years ago, with the same bonus tracks. I also agree... it would have been nice to see some additional bonus material, especially for those of us who already bought the remastered cd when it first came out.

On the other hand... I have always been a HUGE fan of the song "STEELER." It rocks on the original album version, and anyone who knows the song, knows that the last 2 minutes are basically a blistering guitar solo. It sounds dated on the cd, of course (and Dave Holland's mediocre drumming doesn't help), but i have ALWAYS thought it could be updated and be a great cover for some band... or better yet, by Priest, with Scott Travis and double-bass drums!

Until the 30th anniversary concert, i never thought it would happen. But this song alone is worth the price of purchase. Listen to the live version in Dolby digital surround... loud enough to piss off the neighbors, and with a good subwoofer. You'll see why it's worth the price, and why it should be a song that is MUCH more appreciated than it ever was. An underappreciated song, but a true Priest classic.

5.0 out of 5 stars Judas Priest At Their Finest!!!!!, May 13, 2010

Without a shadow of a doubt do i guarantee that you will not regret this purchase. This is a classic piece of Judas Priest and heavy metal history and i was fortunate enough to see them live during their summer British Steel tour. From beginning to end this concert will rock your socks off. I am truely amazed at how much better Judas Priest seem to sound as the years continue to go by. You get the remastered British Steel album which sounds very good and you get the live DVD which is great. The DVD is filled with 16 explosive live music that'll keep you rocking till the dawn. Judas Priest sound so amazing live, that if i can, I would Strongly reccomend that you pick up the 3 Disc Deluxe version of the British Steel pack. I can tell you that i have not regreted getting the live CD and they just sound amazing when you blast the music. The Priest truly sound amazing and there are no signs of the priest stopping and i cannot for next years priest tour and who isn't to say that we wont be seeing remakes of other albums the priest has made.
