The band's second live album Priest...Live! and their DVD set Electric Eye feature performances recorded at The Omni, Atlanta, Georgia on 15 June 1986 and the Reunion Arena, Dallas, Texas on 27 June 1986. The 30th anniversary edition of Turbo, released in 2017, features a 2-disc live recorded performance from the 22 May 1986 show at Sandstone Amphitheater in Bonner Springs, Kansas. 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), "Private Property" ("Parental Guidance" b-side) and "Love Bites" (Metalogy), all recorded at Kiel Auditorium, St. Louis, Missouri, on 23 May 1986.

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

Production

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

During the North American leg of the tour, the band had hired a drum technician, Jonathan Valen, to operate electronic drumming equipment and a sample trigger for backing vocals and some guitar effects. Due to the limitations of technology at the time, these devices required a person to operate them manually.[1]

Setlist

The average setlist was 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" and Point of Entry's "Desert Plains" were performed, while "Parental Guidance" was omitted. The Fuel For Life tour also included some of the few Judas Priest shows where "Victim of Changes" was left off the set list.[3]
