Judas Priest concert chronology

The Fuel for Life Tour was a 1986 concert tour by British heavy metal band Judas Priest, in support of their most recent release, Turbo.

Recordings

The band's second live album Priest...Live! and their DVD set Electric Eye feature performances recorded at The Omni, Atlanta, Georgia on June 15th, 1986 and the Reunion Arena, Dallas, Texas on June 27th, 1986. Other official live recordings include "Desert Plains" (Point of Entry bonus track), "Locked In" (Turbo bonus track), "Hell Bent for Leather" (Priest... Live! bonus track) and "Private Property" ("Parental Guidance" b-side), all recorded at Kiel Auditorium, St. Louis, Missouri, on May 23rd, 1986.

The video documentary Heavy Metal Parking Lot was recorded prior to the Judas Priest concert at the Capital Center, on May 31st, 1986.

Production

The stage design featured several platforms resembling sleek mechanical parts, and included a large robot prop at the back of the stage with mechanical arms that would lift some of the band's guitarists and Rob Halford during performances.

During the North American leg of the tour, the band had hired an auxiliary drummer, Jonathan Valen, to operate electronic drumming equipment (to enhance Dave Holland's parts), and trigger backing vocals and some guitar effects, since the limitations of technology at the time required a person to manually operate the devices.[1]

Setlist

The average setlist is as follows.[2] The setlist predominantly featured songs released in the 1980s, particularly omitting all pre-Killing Machine material, except "Victim of Changes". On early US dates, the Turbo song "Hot for Love" was performed, and also Point of Entry´s "Desert Plains" while "Parental Guidance" was omitted. The Fuel For Life tour also included the only few shows ever where Victim of Changes was left off the set list.[3]

  3. "Heading Out to the Highway"
