Judas Priest Preview Vengeance Reissue

Watch a clip from the forthcoming new DVD

Published 3rd Aug 2012

As reported earlier this week the band are due to release a 30th anniversary edition of Screaming For Vengeace on 3 September. It will feature a remastered and expanded edition of the original album album with a brand new live DVD.

The "Screaming For Vengeance – Special 30th Anniversary Edition" live DVD was filmed at the second, and what turned out to be last, US Festival in 1983. Headlined by Van Halen, Sunday was the Heavy Metal Day, billed as "the day new wave died and rock 'n' roll took over." It set the single-day concert attendance record for the U.S. with an estimated 375,000 people.

"On the day that we performed, we flew in by helicopter - and the first sight we saw was that of thousands of abandoned cars piled up around the crests of the hills that surrounded the festival arena, which as we went over took our breath away,” said Priest in a statement. "For there, below us, spread throughout hundreds of acres was a massive crowd - over three hundred thousand strong! The summer heat was raging and combined with the hot Santa Ana winds made for a scorching metal furnace on stage."
