Reply #32: Van Halen and Judas Priest [View All]

[Kennah]

It was the 1984 tour, in 1984, at the Capital Centre in Landover, Maryland.

General admission concert, and my friend Al and I probably were 4 rows back from the stage, if you could really call it rows. A fucking madhouse is what it was, and awesome. A wave pulsed through the crowd every few minutes.

A few months later, while not a big Judas Priest fan, my friend Al asked if I wanted to go. No, not really. It's general admission? I'M SO THERE! We got to about 2 rows back from the stage. The wave pulsing through the crowd was much more intense than at Van Halen. Had to really struggle to stay on our feet.
