  25 years ago today...I was there & for a split second I am in the film. An unforgettable day/night, Priest slammed it that night, had an amazing time in the parking lot like so many other concerts there. Thanks to Jeff Krulick & John Heyn for capturing this wild time on film.

  Thanks for posting this. It's a reminder of a time that once was, and will never be again. For those of us who were lucky enough to have experienced these great shows firsthand, we know how fortunate we are. In the face of cell phones and social networking, along with American society being so uptight, this kind of parking lot experience would never happen today.

  This is too funny!! I grew up in the 90's but I love watching how each decade was.. 70"s and 80's were the best for heavy metal !!! yeahh baby.For all those uptight people who talk crap about how they were back then its worse now. I'm sure alot of them grew up and became your boss today! Now what. worry about what are kids are faced with today! ROCK LIVES ON! LOL... that video was funny!!

  I was at this show but arrived too late for the parking lot film scene. I was also past the alcohol/drug phase, but loved the music and still do! Could have cared less if Rob Halford was gay. Grew up listening to Iron Butterfly, Deep Purple, Blue Oyster Cult, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Ted Nugent, Van Halen and The Ramones. Then came Judas Priest, Scorpions, Saxxon, Diamond Head, Iron Maiden, Motorhead, Metallica. Followed by Nirvana, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Live, Ministry. I was lucky enough to get to see most of them, some more than once. Today I still love these bands and many more, including Three Days Grace, Incubus & Chevelle. For the record, my IQ at last check was 142, but my hearing has probably deteriorated, for obvious reasons.:) I also work and pay taxes, and when I am in the old folks home, I will be among those who lived during those great years to drive the nursing staff crazy by demanding to hear our heavy metal LOUDER! The 60s, 70s and 80s and 90s were great years to be young!

  That was great. Because I just LOVE people. Change the hairstyles and the type of music and it could be anybody in any decade since the 1920's. I'm serious. I love that vigor and enthusiasm. I'm annoyed that people think that their ecstatic moments will be enhanced by getting drunk or doing drugs, but most people grow out of that. This was fun. I was in 5th grade when this was filmed, but all the hairstyles and clothing was familiar to me. Lots of fun.

  If they only knew that the Judas Priest lead singer was also in the closet at the time. LOL.

  Where are the now? Some went on to enlist in the military, work in construction, and some of them even own their own contracting firm. I'd say we did better than the dopey Baby-Boomer generation and we had more fun! \m/

  Notice, there aren't as many fat people in this show as there would be today?

  Hey Rik, They are your leaders, teachers, nurses and we pay taxes. We were kids having fun and letting off steam. Relax. You are way too uptight.

  So- this bunch of dope heads will be the future leaders of our country, fund social security and worst of all have kids, we're in deep ####!!! I know their parents are real proud of this group, what a waste of sperm!!!

  Yeah, that takes me way back...love it. Precious time piece, totally captures that era!

  This reminds me of some of the metal heads when I was in high school in Iowa. They look and act the same. This totally awesome.

  What a total waste of time!

  What a trip down memory lane, seeing how idiotic people can be when they're wasted, thinkin they're so ultra cool. If people back then had known Halford was gay, J.P.wouldnt have had the fanbase they enjoyed over the years. Even the styles have changed so dramatically over the last 24 yrs. In the 80's, only a earring in the left ear was cool for guys, a pierced right ear meant you were "gay". Nowadays, they wear them in both ears cuz its fashionable. lol Thank God rock is still around tho. Rap & hip-hop is nothing but garbage noise. Nothing compares to the 80's style rock/metal music! Long live Rock & Roll!

  The Decline of Western Civilization Part II. Google it, the video is free. Much better than this. This was funny, but TDOWC2 was the epic movie of the 80's about metal

  pretty funny to watch. i lived in Fairfax VA from the 1960's to the 1990's. i had a lot of good times and lost ALOT of braincells at concerts in the Cap Centre Largo MD. i have been to at least 20 concerts there and never once left sober. aaahhh the 80's.... long hair and partying everyday. unfortunately i had to grow up eventually, now i have no hair, a wife, 3 kids and a buttload of bills to pay.
