Judas Priest Everwise Amphitheater At White River State Park on April 28, 2024

I usually have a sense of anticipation before many shows. A twang of excitement, a twang of anxiety (wondering if I can get decent photos), and sometimes as is the case with Judas Priest a longing of days past. It was 1986 and Turbo Lover was on heavy rotation in my house. Most of the time I would see the video on Headbanger's Ball or possibly Night Flight. Those days my dose of Heavy Metal was late Friday or Saturday nights. I could not get enough of these videos. Probably like most 14-15 years of the day there was a heavy dose of Quiet Riot, Iron Maiden, Ozzy, Metallica playing in the house or through the jam box attached to your bike. But for me watching a skeleton driving through the desert on a motorcycle with Rob Halford singing those incredible vocals was true metal mayhem and that music video will forever remain iconic in my heart and soul.
