"Heavy
Metal Parking Lot" documents heavy metal fans tailgating in the
parking lot outside the Capital Centre (which was demolished in
December 2002) in Landover, Maryland, on May 31st, 1986, before a Judas
Priest concert (with opening act Dokken)
By
the early 1990s, "Heavy Metal Parking Lot" had become an
underground cult-classic, usually traded on bootleg VHS
videotapes. It was reportedly a favorite on the Nirvana tour
bus, among many other bands. Due to growing popular demand for the
film, music-rights issues were finally sorted out with Judas Priest
and in 2006 an official, features-packed 20th-anniversary DVD was
released.
