Judas Priest's 1974 Concert History

Judas Priest is an English heavy metal band formed in Birmingham, Warwickshire in 1969. They have sold over 50 million albums and are frequently ranked as one of the greatest metal bands of all time. Despite an innovative and pioneering body of work in the latter half of the 1970s, the band had struggled with indifferent record production and a lack of major commercial success until 1980, when they rose to commercial success with the album "British Steel" which ranked number four on the UK Official Album Charts. This remained the band's highest charting album until 2024's "Invisible Shield" which reached the penultimate position in UK and becoming the band's first album to reach number one on the German GfK Entertainment charts.
