Priest...Live! is the second live album (and 12th overall) by Judas Priest, recorded during two shows in their World Tour of 1986.

All of the songs on Priest...Live! were recorded on their 1986 Fuel For Life tour which supported the Turbo album. There were no tracks from their 1970s albums, though the 2002 remastered version did contain "Hell Bent for Leather" as a bonus track. While it may have sounded more "live" than Unleashed in the East, Priest...Live! did not sell as well as that album but eventually went Gold in the US. The album received a negative review from All Music Guide (2/5 stars), but it currently has a 5/5 customer review rating on iTunes.

The version of "Heading Out to the Highway" on this album includes a separate solo by K.K. Downing and Glenn Tipton that was not on the original studio version. The song is also longer due to the additional solos.

The version of "Breaking the Law" on this album includes a solo by K.K. Downing that was not on the original studio version. The song is also played at a faster tempo than the studio recording.

The album was first released on June 21, 1987. It was also re-released in a digitally remastered edition in 2002 with three bonus tracks.

Also, the video for this concert was featured on the Judas Priest video recap DVD "Electric Eye" in 2003.
