Track by Track Review

Disc 1 |
|
Resurrection Halford starts this live album as his studio one did, screaming out. This rendition of this modern metal classic smokes. |
|
Made In Hell Another killer cut from Halford's studio release, this one comes across quite well here. |
|
Into the Pit This is another strong rendition. This time it is of one of the better cuts from Halford's Fight days. The guitar solo section here takes on a rather Priestish mode. |
|
Nailed to the Gun This is a staccato sort of metal cut that really rocks out in its performance. Halford's vocal performance is exceptionally strong here. |
|
Light Comes Out of Black This one was not really live, but rather done on a sound check. Honestly, though, it they hadn't told you in the liner notes, you never would have known. The cut is a pretty standard metal number. |
|
Stained Class I still can't believe they did this number and smoked it at that. A more obscure, but one of the best, Priest cuts, you can almost close your eyes and picture KK and Glenn Tipton on this. That is how faithfully this group does the piece. |
|
Jawbreaker Another Priest cut, this is a faithful rendition of a piece that is a bit generic. |
|
Running Wild Another surprising choice of cuts, this one is another favorite from Priest. The group, as usual, smokes on this one. |
|
Slow Down This one is a little slower and more melodic piece from Halford's solo album. |
|
The One You Love To Hate Performed in duet with Iron Maiden's Bruce Dickinson, this one should appeal to metal fans everywhere. |
|
Life in Black Another cut that was not part of the show, but rather some serious studio magic, this is one of the considerably strong tracks from the solo CD and it really rocks. |
|
Hell's Last Survivor This is another smoker with some great textures. |
|
Sad Wings "Sad Wings" is yet another flawless performance of a smoking hard Halford cut. |
|
Saviour A bit slower, this cut is a bit on the generic side. |
|
Silent Screams One of the strongest and most dramatic cuts from the studio release, this one is exceptionally emotional and poignant in this performance. |
|
|
Disc 2 |
|
Cyberworld Musically this one feels a lot like Iron Maiden and really smokes, however, the lyrics are rather trite. |
|
The Hellion The classic Priest instrumental intro piece, this one is flawless and really benefits from the audience chanting to it. |
|
Electric Eye Screaming out, this is another Priest classic delivered in fine fashion here. |
|
Riding on the Wind This is a pretty faithful rendition of this Priest standard. |
|
Genocide Another cut from the "I can believe they did this one" files, this is definitely a highlight of the album. The performance is a bit different from the original, but certainly rocks. |
|
Beyond the Realms of Death Always a vocal showcase, this one is a bit different take on the classic old Priest number, but it is an incredible song. |
|
Tyrant Another pleasant surprise in its inclusion, this is another Priest smoker delivered in fine fashion. |
|
Screaming in the Dark The first of three new studio numbers, this one is a fast paced, modern sounding heavy metal cut. |
|
Heart of a Lion This new number sounds a lot like a cross between Judas Priest and Iron Maiden. |
|
Prisoner of Your Eyes This is a very powerful love gone away ballad that really works well. It is one of the strongest cuts on the album and a great way to end the disc. |
