This Album should have been called 'The Live Best Of of Rob Halford', because it contains not only the Resurrection live material, but also some of the most famous Judas Priest Songs and songs Halford recorded with Fight and the two japan-only-bonus-tracks from Resurrection: Hell's Last Survivor and Sad Wings.

As most live albums are mixed from many performances throughout world tours, this one makes no exception, but you feel like being on a single concert listening to both cd's. Great production. The bands and Halfords' performance on all tracks is outstanding. By the way, the last three tracks on cd 2 are studio tracks, recorded in sessions during the world tour.
I gave this album a 9.0 because there are 5 songs I don't like, four of them are the 'Fight' songs and one is the first of the studio tracks, which to me is really awful. All other songs are great, though you don't get 27 songs as you might think reading the back-cover. The Intro on disc 2 is just a few seconds of a screaming audience.
I've been to one of the concert on this tour, in Essen. I can only say the sound on this album represents perfectly the bands performance. On 'Stained Class' Rob Halford salutes Essen, which always reminds me of the concert. Back to the topic: To me the Judas Priest songs sound even better than the originals, they are more powerful, especially 'Breaking The Law' which is originally a bit lame, but this live track is furious, just great! As mentioned above all songs are performed perfectly.
The Studio tracks, except 'Screaming In The Dark' are great too. Especially 'Heart Of A Lion', which is one of my favorite songs of all time. 'Prisoner Of Your Eyes' has been re-recorded by Halford, it is originally a Judas Priest track, which I think was only released later on the remastered cd's. But don't mind it's cool.

Compared to Crucible I definetely prefer the Resurrection songs including the bonus tracks on the japanese album and the studio tracks 2 and 3 on Live Insurrection, which were surely inspired by the Resurrection album and the following tour. Screaming In The Dark sounds indeed like it belongs already to the Crucible material, that's why I don't like this song. The whole atmosphere is different, too dark and disturbing, it does not fit on this album.
For these reasons the all in all the rating is 9.0. You get 113 minutes of music, approximately 93 minutes are great, 17 minutes are ok and the remaining are for the wicked!
