All time classic from the second record of the heavy metal gods. Influential and epic, a showcase of talent between Halford, Tipton and Downing.
When growing up however, I’ll admit I was drawn into the speed and virtuosity of Painkiller and dismissed this as not heavy enough. But having gotten older my taste definitely changed and I understand why JP got the chance to create their most well regarded piece in the first place, as THIS right here was the “Painkiller of early Judas Priest” or maybe even of heavy metal in general, at least in terms of impact lol.

Hell yeah! This is legendary! However, have you seen the 82/83 (can’t remember) live version in the US? It’s, for me, a rare case where the live version supersedes the studio version. Found it
Hell yea man, I also have a track I prefer live over the studio version: Fear of the Dark by Iron Maiden!
I will have to check that out, not heard the live version.
Made a post about it in this very community! Lemme see if I can link it lol.
