I just stumbled across some (obviously pre-digital) pix I took in high school of the Heavy Metal Marathon at the Landmark Theater in Syracuse, August 1980. Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, and Def Leppard. Might as well post them -- this looks like the right thread. Wow, almost 41 years ago!
They managed to stuff their entire light rig into that small venue:
Rob Halford walking onstage to creepy intro sound effects along with the requisite dry ice and flashing lights:
Some nice grimacing from Glenn Tipton while doing a solo:
Rob unexpectedly getting the business from some local talent while Glenn looks on jealously:
Nice and blurry!
This must've been during their protest song Genocide because you can see Rob with his toy machine gun, which he fired at the end. Back when he had a full head of hair!
KK Downing with his Flying V:
Here's the middle act, Germany's Scorpions.
I have pix of Def Leppard somewhere/will try to find and post. They were all 18 and 19 years old at the time. Hope you enjoyed this trip down heavy-metal Memory Lane!
