...I'm in trouble. What can I say in front of such a masterpiece? This guy is already the best masterpiece of the music genre "HEAVY METAL". Or, the "symbol" of heavy metal music. Even the words "once in ○ years" are too sweet. A masterpiece that may even transcend the existence of the band JUDAS PRIEST. Such an abnormal one is here! The true identity of the symbolic work that reigns at the top of the music genre itself is a multi-camera pro shot of the "July 12, 1991 Irvine performance". It was unearthed just the other day, and it is a shocking video that is making metal fans all over the world excited at this very moment. What is shocking is its overwhelming quality. Until now, there have been pro shots of the Detroit performance and Rock in Rio from "PAINKILLER TOUR 1990-1991", but it is a completely different dimension from those. It has been thought that the quality of the professional shots from the PAINKILLER era is... ", but this is already the official quality, sound, mix... everything. "Maybe it was excavated for the 30th anniversary edition of "PAINKILLER"!?" I can't help but imagine that this video itself is not a completely first appearance. About four songs have been broadcast on television since then, and two songs have been used officially. As we have introduced in "VISUAL METALOGY: DELUXE EXPANDED EDITION", this is the full version of that super clear video. There is a time counter at the bottom of the screen, and it seems to be a leak from the master during the broadcast station's editing, but that is why you can see the heavy metal paradise with the frightening master freshness and extreme quality. The heavy metal live drawn with that transcendent quality... This is the reason why it is "symbolic". After all, this work is the band potential that produced "that" masterpiece "PANKILLER" is fully opened on the stage. This is a good opportunity to introduce the outline of "PAINKILLER TOUR 1990-1991". ・September 13, 1990: Participation in FONDATION FORUM ・October 18, 1990 - January 15, 1991: North American Tour #1 (51 shows) ・January 23, 1991: Appearance at ROCK IN RIO II (1 show) ・January 31 - March 31, 1991: European Tour (44 shows) (about 2 weeks later) ・April 12 - 15, 1991: Japan Tour (3 shows) (about 3 months later) ・July 9 - August 19, 1991: North American Tour #2 (31 shows) ←★Here★ A total of 130 shows. JUDAS PRIEST's live history is still being explored, so I can't say for sure, but this number is more than enough to support one album. In fact, it was the biggest tour in the history of JUDAS PRIEST, even surpassing their heyday in the 1980s. This is proof that they were wanted all over the world, but the condition is completely different depending on the position of the tour. In Japan, it was better than taking a two-week break, but some people may remember that it was still a tiring show. And what is of concern is the position of this work. In fact, it is the final leg of the tour, "North America #2", but the point is just before that. As you can see from the schedule above, they took the only big break of three months on the tour, and this work is only the second performance since the tour resumed. The ensemble, which has been fully trained by playing a lot of shows, is still full of momentum after the break. That's why the show packed into this work is in top form. Of course, it is different from the elaborately crafted sound world of studio productions, and it is also a JUDAS PRIEST tradition that Rob Halford's voice becomes rougher as the show progresses. However, unlike the long-length pro shots (Detroit performances and Rock in Rio), it is full of the fulfillment of receiving rave reviews from all over the world, and even has a mood of "Let's do it again!" Rob, who screams throughout the whole film, is in a different dimension from the later reunion, and the sharpness of the a cappella shout in the "All Guns Blazing" intro is beyond words... In addition, the set list for the latter part of the tour is also delicious. The aforementioned "All Guns Blazing" is the highlight song only for this tour, but the awesomeness of "Night Crawler", "A Touch Of Evil", and "Painkiller", which scream in accordance with the regular tuning, is a catharsis that could never be enjoyed after the reunion. Furthermore, "Heading Out To The Highway", "Diamonds & Rust", "Some Heads Are Gonna Roll", and "Turbo Lover", which could not be seen in the previous pro shots, are also fully fatigued. JUDAS PRIEST made a great comeback with the super masterpiece "PAINKILLER" of the century. The best full professional shot of "PAINKILLER TOUR", which had been put up with the quality, has finally descended to this earth. Until now, the ultimate scripture was the official video "LIVE VENGEANCE '82". Of course, even now, its brilliance is not lost in the slightest, but that scripture depicted the figure of "an evangelist who spreads heavy metal". In contrast, this work is the figure of a god who has returned to pursue the "core of metal" after experiencing the expansion of the possibilities of "HEAVY METAL" that has already been established. Its purity is the highest in JUDAS PRIEST history... no, the highest in human history, and its metallic luster is the most dazzling shine that humanity has ever experienced. This should not be discussed in terms of whether it is official or not. The northernmost, apex, and ultimate of the music genre "HEAVY METAL" that humanity has created... it is different after all. "Symbol". An absolute one that can only be called that. Live at Irvine Meadows, Irvine, CA. USA 12th July 1991 PRO-SHOT (82:47) 1. Introduction 2. Hell Bent for Leather 3.
