Flashback Tour: Judas Priest and Motorhead

While everyone in Dallas is going gaga over Ozzfest (and everyone outside of Texas is throwing a shit-fit), somehow people are overlooking that Judas Priest -- yeah, Judas Fucking Priest -- is coming to town around the same time. And it's not just Rob Halford and Co., but also one of my favorites, Motorhead. Tickets aren't on sale yet for the August 22 show at Superpages.com Center, which also features Testament. That's not stopping us from getting excited. I came across a video of Judas Priest playing Dallas back in 1986. See it after the jump. Flashback and mark the show down on the calendar. -- Chelsea Ide
