Official footage of Judas Priest's historic live performance at the 2022 Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame induction ceremony has been uploaded to YouTube to mark the second anniversary of the occasion.
The band – made up of singer Rob Halford, bassist Ian Hill, guitarists Richie Faulkner and Glen Tipton plus drummer Scott Travis – were joined on the night by former members guitarist KK Downing and drummer Les Binks, and performed truncated versions of three classics: Breakin' The Law, Living After Midnight and You've Got Another Thing Coming.
Before hitting the stage, Judas Priest were introduced by Alice Cooper, who described them as “the definitive metal band.”
After the performance, which celebrated Priest's entry into the Hall Of Fame via the Award for Musical Excellence category, Halford took to the mic to make a typically heartfelt speech.
"I'm the gay guy in the band," said Halford. "We call ourselves the heavy metal community which is all-inclusive, no matter what your sexual identity is, what you look like, or what you believe in or don't believe in. Everybody’s welcome.
"We should get out another 50 years, but the joy about music is that it lives forever. And that’s the reason why we're here. We live for heavy metal. We live for music. And we're living for the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame.”
Earlier this week, Judas Priest announced a run of dates in mainland Europe for next year. The band also play six Japanese shows next month. Full dates below.
