It was a Monster's of Rock concert. The first rock concert in Moscow.....and it was free. AC/DC and Pantera were there too. They stopped counting at 1,600,000 people. The military was security and the helicopters were to help cool off the crowd!! Totally EPIC!!!🎶🎼🎵🥁🎤🎸🎧🎙🤘🤘🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This was the first metal gig in Moscow. The first rock gig was in 1989, the Moscow music and peace festival with Skid Row, Cinderella, Ozzy Osbourne, Mötley Crüe, Scorpions and Bon Jovi.
This was right after the Fall of the Berlin Wall and the end of the Cold War. Western Music was never allowed in Russia!!! Their first taste of FREEDOM!!!
Check out "Creeping Death" from this same concert! Can you imagine what it took to not just get the first show of its kind approved by authorities, but the logistics, expense to the bands, even getting equipment hooked up properly (Ive read that the wiring was a nightmare), Metallica disclosing to Russia that they were bringing things that go 'bang' too? Also check out "Fuel" performed in Sweden in more recent years.. Awesome pyro! xo
Watch the entire show. it’s absolutely mind blowing. You can’t see it because the resolution was crap back then, but the drummer cut his finger during Harvester of sorrow I I think, and just kept bleeding and drumming lol.
I just went to see them last night at Gillette Stadium. It's a 2day - no repeat concert "in the round". Tomorrow is Night 2. It was just as spectacular as you could imagine.
On September 28th, 1990, one at the very tail end of the Cold War, in Moscow, on this abandoned airfield, Metallica played to 1.6 million people. That's the same size as, like, Philadelphia or Phoenix, Arizona
@@jareklewczuk3627They started as security and crowd control and very shortly became the crowd. Amazingly with all those people crammed in there there was only thirty three reported fatalities mostly from being trampled by the crowd. It sucks if you were one of those people but there have been higher numbers dead when the World Cup crowd goes off.
OH MY GOSH I’M DYING HERE🤣🤣🤣🤣 YOURS is my most favorite reaction to this video! It really is kinda jarring with the pyrotechnical eruptions on both sides of the stage huh? Kidding aside these guys had it ALL going on back in the day! They were heavy metal GODS in my opinion. Loved them then and I love them now! At 62, I’d much rather listen to music most of the day whether I’m cleaning house or working in the yard. Hardly a day goes by that there’s not music playing around my house. Keeps me focused I guess and I promise I’m not bragging but I have a beautiful yard, beautiful flower garden and my husband (who’s also a music lover) has a very impressive vegetable garden. Music is the universal language of love and I absolutely LOVE watching younger generations react to and discover the best music on the planet! Can’t beat the music from the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s and a little bit of the 90’s‼️✌🏻Oh yeah, ya gotta check out AC/DC Thunderstruck Live at River Plate AND Phil Collins In The Air Tonight live in Paris (from either 2004 or 2009, can’t remember), if u haven’t already, 😂u won’t be disappointed! AT ALL‼️In fact, ya might wanna invest in some Depends because, well, just because! You’ll figure out why, especially the Phil Collins one
Funny mosh pit story with this performance. This was the first mass, all western rock groups, most of the soldiers did not know what a 'pit' was. When a mosh broke out they thought it was a fight and went in with billy clubs.
Sleeping with one eye open means watch out. I have horses and they sleep with one eye open so that they can keep the herd safe. And that’s why these are called hairbands
You need to react to Ren - he will blow your mind. He is so versitile and is an amzing rapper. Start with "Hi Ren" then move to "The Hunger" then to "Chalk Outllines" then you'll be hooked. In "Chalk Outlines" he sings with Chinchilla. You'll be blown away by her too! Ren and Chinchilla both do live, one-take videos!
Since you like this live performance you must do Master of puppets, live version in Quebec (have the lyrics there to understand the meaning of the song). Enjoy it!! 🤘🏼🎶
First American rock concert in Russia and it was the biggest concert in history with 1.4 million people there. 36 people actually died at this concert and Russia had to have the military be security. That is why the military helicopter and armoured trucks. It was "THE MONSTERS OF ROCK" concert.
Here's a suggestion that will have your head spinning: Sam Perry doing a mash up of Coolio - Gangsta's Paradise X Destiny's Child - Survivor. And that's all him, too. He's a beat box looper.
You want PRIME heavy Metallica? Check this one out: ruclips.net/video/NBwA2d3BAnE/видео.html Metallica performing their "Justice Medley" in 1989. It's basically a mashup of their entire 1988 "...And Justice for All" album, including opening with "Eye of the Beholder", a song they haven't played live since 1989.
It was also a FREE concert for the Russians. The military was there to help with security but the band members even said they too were jamming with the other attendees!
What were you doing at age 27??? That's how old they are here. In their prime. The guitarist is the one and only Kirk Hammett. This was a free concert for the people by the Govt. Perfect song and group to start your intro into rock or metal. There is many to look at in the Metallica catalog. You now realise the hype of a live concert is like. Cant do them nowadays, as everyone can't put down their phones and just watch the band. They wanna film everything and just ruin the vibe for everyone. Try looking at the video clips for the songs- One and Enter Sandman.
You commented about Jason's neck hurting after swinging his head around like that... Well, it does hurt. He has had to stop doing that to spare his neck. Too much metal can do that to you...
From my personal experience ...you CAN give yourself stress whiplash from those movements ie. a whole concert. BTW!!! This was right after the fall of the Soviet Union and it was FREE! I have it on very good authority that ppl were still walking back to their car a year later!!!!!LOL

Also Black Crowes , which was so weird.
@@andy60234 Yes.
I forgot them.
And Gorky Park.
@@drigerdranzer7514 < yup, yup. This was the first ALL WESTERN Rock show.
1.6 million people is an internet folktale
This was right after the Fall of the Berlin Wall and the end of the Cold War. Western Music was never allowed in Russia!!! Their first taste of FREEDOM!!!
One could be jailed for having a pair of Levi jeans or a Beatles record before this time
In :89 there was The MoscowPeace Festival with Ozzy amm
And those aren’t vets, its the military.
They had underground clubs and would smuggle records and LP's into the country.
All music especially American music could only be bought on the black market
Packed? It’s 1.6 MILLION PEOPLE!!! It’s a tsunami of people.
1.6 million attended amazing
These people came out when they could and this is what happened…..unbelievable 🇺🇸❤😊
It’s wild to me that someone would hear the intro to Enter Sandman and not immediately recognize it.
PLAYED ON A BASS .
Poetic chaos. Thousands of people focusing their energy. Great song!
Check out "Creeping Death" from this same concert!

I second all of this!
Creeping Death is a much better song.
Yep, it really did happen. It was the 5th largest concert and the world in the largest heavy metal concert in the world.
Rock music is the great unifier. People from all over the world love rock music.
Watch the entire show. it’s absolutely mind blowing. You can’t see it because the resolution was crap back then, but the drummer cut his finger during Harvester of sorrow I I think, and just kept bleeding and drumming lol.
It's a Celebration of Freedom!👍
I just went to see them last night at Gillette Stadium. It's a 2day - no repeat concert "in the round". Tomorrow is Night 2. It was just as spectacular as you could imagine.
Know every word to this! ❤ grew up with them best Music I’m 51 and still rocking it this granny can still headbang especially to this
Those aren't Vets, they are Russian police.
This was during the fall of the Iron Curtain in Russia when communism was defeated.
On September 28th, 1990, one at the very tail end of the Cold War, in Moscow, on this abandoned airfield, Metallica played to 1.6 million people. That's the same size as, like, Philadelphia or Phoenix, Arizona
They are not police. This is army used as a security which as a profession could not exist there back then.
@@reneezie Communism defeated itself.

This was a great performance by Metallica. Have only seen them once back in 87' ! xx
What a band 🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘

1.6 million rockers in one place 🎸💫☮️
Harvester Of Sorrow from this show...badass.

You must do Metallica Master Of Puppets . Preferably a studio version with lyrics. It will blow you away.
Love Sandman 🔥🔥🔥🤔❤
1.6 million people!
This is what Va.Tech football team runs out too before every home game. It’s incredible.
Not Vets my man... try the Russian Military who were there for security but decided to join in instead... 1.6 million people here.
Half a million to a million
1.6 million was a guess made online
Lars, james, and the VHS of the concert said half a million
@@Akyuu2608I think they technically said they stopped COUNTING at half a million
There was over a million people there for this show.
Legend says, people are still crowdsurfing back to their cars
Gotta watch Pantera - Domination from the same concert.
Russian military not vets, I do believe 1.5 million in the crowd. One of my favorite songs. "Simple man" is another great one
Sleeping with one eye open means watch out. I have horses and they sleep with one eye open so that they can keep the herd safe. And that’s why these are called hairbands
That was a free concert from Time Warner at a Soviet Air Field.
Rumor has it that some of the concert goers are still waiting line to leave the parking lot

Sick 💪💪
1.6 million in the audience. Soviet soldiers was Security security for the Concert.
❤❤❤❤
You should check out Creeping Death from this same concert its about Passover from the Angel of death POV its AWESOME

Metallica are the GOATS of Metal

Check out the song creeping death at this same show
Live Concert in Moscow 1991.
You better check "one by Metallica" live in Seattle 1989 👌🏼
Cant wait to see a Rammstein reaction from this fella 💥🤯😸👍
Russia. 1991. Berlin Wall just came down. First American band to play there. 1.6 million people attended. AMAZING!!!
Definitely not the first American band to play there
Creeping death same concert.
Watch Pantera Domination from this concert!!
You need to watch domination by pantera at the same concert dude, it will blow you away
My first Metallica show was for the Justice tour seen them only 11 times the people in the front row are just getting Back to there cars 😅
You have to listen to their song One
1.6 million ppl there in 1991!
Don't forget that AcDc and Pantera were also there...
Jason Newsted is probably the most underestimate bassman in Metal history.
You'd never see this in Russia today, what a historical event.
Wrong. My cousins moved to St. Petersburg from Italy because it's freer there. Don't believe the media.
They would all be arrested at the airport on some trumped up charges and held hostage.
What are you talking about?? If James appeared in Moscow, no doubt, thing like that would happen again)))) Like, no BS, James is soooo loved here :3
Here's a suggestion that will have your head spinning:
Sam Perry doing a mash up of Coolio - Gangsta's Paradise X Destiny's Child - Survivor. And that's all him, too. He's a beat box looper.
They think it was actually closer to 3 million people in total, including the areas surrounding the venue!
Half a million to a million
1.6 million was a guess made online
Lars, james, and the VHS of the concert said half a million
Those aren't "vets" they are active duty soldiers there to provide security and crowd control. There were 1.6 million people there.

You have to have to HAVE TO watch Creeping Death from the same concert. Makes this seem tame asf.
It was also a FREE concert for the Russians. The military was there to help with security but the band members even said they too were jamming with the other attendees!
SUGGESTION: Out of Touch by Daryl Hall and John Oates (Official Music Video Version)
Those aren’t vets. They had to call in the army as SECURITY!
1.7 million people there
thats the army strait up and a bunch of them said fuck it and removed the gear and just enjoy

I just subbed so please react to seven seas of rye by queen live at Wembley 1986
From my personal experience ...you CAN give yourself stress whiplash from those movements ie. a whole concert. BTW!!! This was right after the fall of the Soviet Union and it was FREE! I have it on very good authority that ppl were still walking back to their car a year later!!!!!LOL
dozens of people died in the crush of that crowd....It's why you'll never see anything like this ever again.
There was no report of any deaths
That reaction 😂😂😂😂
The vets were actually Russian soldiers supposed to be doing crowd control lol, they were failing so hard so they just joined the crowd said fk it lol
hey my channel from a headbanger this is a teenage band , but for u in the moment =everest, metallica =kill em all ! after this they open legs kkkkkk
Pretty sure they're running soldiers that iron curtain just came down
Behind blue eyes is an awesome song by them. It’s mellow.
That’s the military. Not vets.
Read your comments
try "du hast" by rammstein
Yes but, live in Paris! 🤟
Starting off with Ennio Morricone’s The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. Think that was just the video overdub. Then Enter The Sandman.
Ecstasy of gold bruv
