Video footage of JUDAS PRIEST performing the song "Electric Eye" during last night's show can be found on YouTube.

Trunk broadcasts his weekly radio shows, "Friday Night Rocks" on Q104.3 in the New York City listening area and "Eddie Trunk Live" on XM Radio (satellite radio).

Eddie said, "I've had the privilege of meeting and/or interviewing most of the top metal and hard rock artists at various points in my career and sharing their stories and music with millions of fans on air through TV and radio. To have an iconic band like JUDAS PRIEST, who helped invent the genre and are true legends, play a private show to celebrate my contributions and support is humbling, to say the least! It would be tough to find another band that defines metal like PRIEST, so this is an honor beyond belief and one I can truly say I would have never dreamed of as a kid!"
