JUDAS PRIEST in 2001 discovered the talented Tim "Ripper" Owens and maintained the lifeblood of steel. The out-of-print official video has been decided to be released. This work includes “December 19, 2001 London Performance”. This is a detailed reproduction of the official video "LIVE IN LONDON" recorded at the traditional venue "Brixton Academy". It is an official video that has been loved as the best multi-camera professional shot of PRIEST during the Ripper era, but it is a masterpiece that is currently out of print. In fact, the Ripper era itself is currently suffering from underestimation, and even the essential studio albums ``JUGULATOR'' and ``DEMOLITION'' are out of print. It was an unfortunate time, with Ian Hill expressing his anger towards the record company in an interview. Aside from that, what kind of show was the No. 1 video of the Ripper era taken? Let's look back at the schedule at that time and check our positions. 2001/June 8th-July 10th: Europe #1 (22 performances) [Demolition] released on July 16th/September 1st-October 10th: South America/North America #1 (10 performances)・October 31st - November 18th: Europe #2 (14 performances) ・November 30th - December 15th: Australia/Japan (10 performances) ・December 19th: London performance ←★This work★ 2002 January 17th - February 19th: North America #2 (25 performances) March 13th - April 7th: Europe #3 (20 performances) July 5th - August 25th: North America # 3 (38 performances) This is the whole picture of “DEMOLITION TOUR”. After taking a break in the summer of 2002, they brought Rob Halford back into the fold and the ``Ripper era'' came to an end. On this tour, a performance in Japan was also realized, but the Brixton Academy performance of this work was immediately after that. It was not a UK tour, but a special performance set only once for DVD recording. This work recorded at such a show is (obviously) a completely official super-superb multi-camera professional shot. Of course, in the history of rock, it is not uncommon for official products to have silly images, but this work is different. It has completely taken over the official release plan, and even the show itself has been set up. Not only is the image and sound quality excellent, but it is a stunning official video that exudes a sense of work in its camera work and editing. And what is depicted with such quality is the truth of "Ripper PRIEST", which is now about to be erased by the darkness of history. Speaking of the Ripper era, there is also another official work "'98 LIVE MELTDOWN", so let's compare and organize it. Classics (14 songs)・Wings of Fate: Victim of Changes/The Ripper・Diamonds & Rust・Murder Machine: Running Wild (★)/Hell Bent for Leather・British Steel: Metal Gods/Breaking the Law/United (★) / Living After Midnight・Golden Spectrum: Desert Plains (★)・Cry of Revenge: Electric Eye・Turbo: Turbo Lover (★)・Painkiller: A Touch of Evil/Painkiller Ripper Era (5 songs)・Ja Regulator: Blood Stained / Burn in Hell・Demolition: One on One (★) / Feed on Me (★) / Hell Is Home (★) *Note: "★" mark can be heard on the live album "'98 LIVE MELTDOWN" No songs. ...and it looks like this. It was a colorful set that included not only new songs from "DEMOLITION" but also some unexpected comeback songs. The reason for this was the Ripper. In fact, the set for the "JUGULATOR TOUR" was decided by Glenn Tipton, but for the "DEMOLITION TOUR" he asked Ripper, "Do you have any other songs to sing?" and the rare songs were brought back. . Moreover, it is because the selection is Ripper. He was originally a member of a JUDAS PRIEST cover band, and is well versed in all kinds of repertoire. Honke has selected extremely rare songs, such as ``Running Wild,'' which he hasn't played in 21 years, and ``United,'' which he hasn't played in 20 years. ``Desert Plains'' and ``Turbo Lover'' are also pop numbers that I chose because I'm an American ripper, and it's been 15 years. These two songs became standard even after Rob's return, but if Ripper had not chosen them at this time, they might still be rare songs. Ripper Owens kept the sign of the Steel God even at a time when Rob himself declared that "metal was dead." Now in 2020, he has formed “KK’s PRIEST” with K.K. Downing, who also left JUDAS PRIEST, and is trying to return to the forefront. Now that we're in the moment, I'd like you to look back on the Ripper era. For that reason, we have reproduced a masterpiece. Live at Brixton Academy, London, UK 19th December 2001 PRO-SHOT 1. Metal Gods 2. A Touch of Evil 3. Blood Stained 4. Victim of Changes 5.
