Description
Had taken this photo of Rob Halford, K.K. Downing, and Glenn Tipton in Judas Priest, during the beginning of the concert. This was at the Warfield Theater in San Francisco during their British Steel tour, on June 19th, 1980. During the early era of Judas Priest...finally enjoying their major success, in the metal music world.

Pops Kwanulani, thanks for your comment, interest in my historic concert work. Was always known for being at every major Bill Graham concert event attended, up front center stage. Took my profession quite seriously. Had my own B&W darkroom, used fully manual 35 mm cameras too. There were some concerts where I would wait in line as early as the night prior to the gates/doors opening. Thus being one of the first people in line, outside of venue. If you take some time to read my profile/background on my main page...you'll find more details, regarding my historic professional photography career. Feel free to purchase any of my work if desired. It supports the past hard working freelance concert photographers such as myself, who sometimes dealt with insane/very physical aggressive crowds, just to capture such photos, posted on my art site.

Great shot! How did you get that shot? Those were film days and they weren't posing! I was at that concert and it blew me away, great show! I've also check out your other pics and I was at some of those concerts in the Bay Area too. Thanks for the memories.

David Nichols, please keep in mind my photography work is not to be taken from my art site, shared on social sites, copied, etc. Fine Art America does NOT even partially own my photos. It's only to be viewed and/or purchased for personal enjoyment of collecting, hanging on one's walls. When people illegally steal/take my work from my website to post on social sites...such as Facebook, copy, etc., it takes away from any possible sales, profits from my photography business.

My personal thanks to Daniel Larsen and fine art america for sharing this rare picture of Rob Halford ,Glen Tipton , K.K. Downing of Judas Priest. I feel that this picture captures the Metal Gods at thier best and I have been looking for vintage pictures of The Priest for quite some yrs as I was at the British Steel concert long ago in St. Louis Mo. At last, I have found the website that has exactly what I have been searching for.....Thank You
