JUDAS PRIEST ”CONVENTION HALL, ASHBURY PARK, NEW JERSEY, US" (JULY 3, 1980)

Rob Halford with Judas Priest "British Steel" US Tour, Thursday, July 3, 1980, Convention Hall, Asbury Park, New Jersey, USA ©Bill O'Leary "Calm down anti gun advocates, it's a stage prop! Rob Halford would fire this gun into the air at the conclusion of the song 'Genocide' in their 1980 set. Personally, what makes the top image most special to me is that it was one of Rob's personal favorites, he had it framed and would carry it on tour and place it on his personal road case in every dressing room, I have pics to show that, so cool.
