Judas Priest - Reading Festival, August 22 1975 (Ultra-Rare 8mm Footage)

This never-before-seen video is easily the most historically important, and also the earliest known, Judas Priest concert footage to ever surface yet. It is from their legendary performance at the 1975 Reading and Leeds Festival, and was shot on a Super 8 camera. Seeing as how this remarkable live footage is unavailable anywhere on YouTube or the whole Internet for that matter, I decided to share it with all my fellow metal maniacs who also love classic old school metal in general and Judas Priest in particular. You can clearly see how it was at this stage that the Judas Priest earnestly began moving away from the psychedelic boogie/blues rock of Rocka Rolla and pushing towards the true pure heavy metal sound that they’d go on to develop on Sad Wings of Destiny and Sin After Sin. Enjoy!!! =)
