AI notes: On November 4, 1979, Judas Priest performed at the Palladium in New York City as part of their "Unleashed in the East" tour, supporting their live album of the same name and their studio release Hell Bent for Leather (U.S. title of Killing Machine). The band—featuring Rob Halford, Glenn Tipton, K.K. Downing, Ian Hill, and Les Binks on drums—delivered a high-energy set filled with heavy metal anthems like "The Ripper," "Victim of Changes," and "Hell Bent for Leather." The Palladium show was noted for its intensity, showcasing Priest’s theatrical stage presence and leather-and-studs aesthetic that would define '80s metal. This performance helped solidify their U.S. breakthrough at a pivotal moment in the genre's evolution.
I suspect this to be an extremely rare item because their was really no reason to save it at the time.
The Village Voice was an American counterculture newspaper known for being the country's first alternative newsweekly. It introduced free-form, high-spirited, and passionate journalism into the public discourse - a tradition it maintained throughout its 60+ year history. It is quite common to find great political cartoons, satirical cartoons and articles, thought-provoking editorials, and ads and reviews for both concerts and theater productions - both on and off Broadway. Many iconic writers and musicians credit their appearance in The Village Voice for at least a portion of their success.
