I became a huge JUDAS PRIEST fan and bought a promotional JUDAS PRIEST PAINKILLER poster at my University which took up my whole bedroom wall at home. I also bought the PAINKILLER album and was blown away at the new direction the band was taking which was hard, fast and heavy. So when I heard JUDAS PRIEST was headlining the OPERATION ROCK N ROLL TOUR, I got on the phone to get the best tickets I could which ended up being just off the floor toward the bottom of the riser. The Tour was not a commercial success due to the economic recession at the time, but that allowed me to get GREAT tickets as I had some free spending cash.
Included is tour footage from the California leg of the tour. I saw the OPERATION ROCK N ROLL TOUR at the MEADOWLANDS, NJ Arena which included ALICE COOPER, MOTORHEAD, DANGEROUS TOYS, and METAL CHURCH. The year was 1991 and I was 22 years old.
