Judas Priest – '79-'80 Tour the Colonies Full Limited Access Laminate | Johnny "JW" Roberts Closet
A truly exceptional piece of heavy metal history — an original Full Limited Access photo ID laminate from Judas Priest’s legendary ‘79–‘80 Tour the Colonies, the tour that broke the band wide open in North America. The front features the now-iconic salmon-colored credential with the cheeky headline “If It Ain’t U.K. It’s U.S.” and a photo ID of the credential holder. The reverse showcases the Unleashed in the East live album artwork — one of the most celebrated live records in rock history — with “Full Limited Access” printed below in the band’s signature gothic script.
From the personal collection of Johnny “JW” Roberts, SHOWCO monitor engineer, who worked the road with Priest on this landmark tour.
