9/02/2009 Judas Priest - Diamonds and Rust (live in 1978)

"Diamonds & Rust" is a 1975 song written and performed by Joan Baez.

The song was later covered by Judas Priest, first appearing on Sin After Sin, and later on the Best of Judas Priest, Hero Hero, as well as some remasters of their first album, Rocka Rolla. A live version of the song is on Unleashed in the East. The song remains a staple of Judas Priest live concert performances. In recent years, Priest have been performing a mostly-acoustic version of the song that is more similar to the original than the "rocked up" recorded version. Thanks to this band, many others into Metal genres have covered this song, like Great White and the Finnish Power Metal Band Thunderstone.
