@@thepharmacist4651 that's how many tickets were sold. More people came and he said they decided to just let the gates open. So there's more than 500,000.
The stage itself was even shaped to help amplify the sound. Also, estimates of the amount of people there range between 750,000 and 2 million. Nobody is quite sure. lol
Concerts this size always have delay speaker towers in the audience. The sound coming out of those speakers are delayed so that the sound coming from the front of house PA matches as it reaches the back of the audience, otherwise the sound would have an echo effect for the people at the back.
1.6 million people showed up for this concert. One of the biggest in rock history. Every song they do here is a banger but my favorite from this show was 'Creeping Death". Imagine what it felt like to hear over a million Russians yelling "Die! Die! Die!" with James & the boys. :-)
Here's an AMAZING reaction. Three years ago, at the age of 50, I discovered Metallica. Now I grew up with an awareness of them, but I doubt I could have named one song the did until my discovery. I highly recommend their "Through the Never" movie. I enjoyed that movie alot.
That short and sweet intro, before ENTER SANDMAN kicks off, is ACTUALLY Ennio Morricone's track - The Ecstacy Of Gold (METALLICA DID A COVER OF THIS SONG, DURING DEATH MAGNETIC's TOUR, at them concert at Copenhagen (Denmark), on 2008/2009!!!!!!!!)
Monsters Of Rock tour!!! If I remember right, the Russian government used their military for crowd control, but you can see the troops saying "F" it and rocking out, too... Nice reaction! Peace! Cheers!!!
@Scott ?????? No Gorbachev led his people to freedom, Reagan had nothing to do with it, He was just along for the ride. In fact the UK had more to do with the fall of the Iron Curtain than the US did
This event was historical for the time. 1.6 Million people....and this is only 3rd on the all time list of crowds at an open air concert. #1 is Rod Stewart at Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil with a crowd of 3.5 Million in 1994. #2 was Jean Michel Jarre in 1997 also in Russia, like that Metallica show, with 3.5 Million.
Actually there were 1.6 million people in the crowd that day (and most of them came just for Metallica). The Soviet Union was about to fall and the concert was held on a former military testing ground. Pantera, AC/DC and a local band, The Black Crowes, also played. One of the biggest concerts known to mankind. It was a celebration. 51 people died due to pressure, most likely. The military first didn’t know how to react to the crowd’s behavior, but as you can see, the stopped hitting and joined the crowd during Metallica’s set. A truly memorable, important and magical day.
1.6 million tickets sold, the crowd was over 2 million. Because how are 10,000 troops going to say no to almost a million people who turned up to stand at the back and watch for free?
I've been front row center at a Metallica concert General admission Took me awhile to make it to thee front but I did before the first song and never left
What you hear at first is the theme to the Clint Eastwood movie The Good, The Bad , and The Ugly. It's worth noting that my favorite hockey team uses this song ( the studio version) as their entrance theme when they hit the ice to start the game
I've heard numbers from a couple million to nine million. It's somewhere in between i guess but still the biggest happening in recorded history! Thanks for playing!
Love watching you guys enjoy the music I grew up with and going at it with an open mind. Tasha you are so pretty, my love to you both, thanks for the videos.
They were so good live. That's far from their best...go back in time from here and watch pretty much any live performances of their best songs. The skill to make that fast tempo, organized wall of sound live, and absolutely nail it, amazes me every time.
You have to understand these people were told to stay in line and not to express yourself for decades. Now all the sudden Metallic is pulling this pen up excitement out. Really cool stuff to see! BTW.... I love the girl's reaction to this. She's adorable, expecially when she headbanged, haha.
this is what happens when a repressive government has the cold war end, the wall come down, and allows it's people to listen to rock and roll bands from around the world! They The Russian citizens at the concert) clearly were excited to join most of the world in the freedom to enjoy a Huge Rock concert. Soldiers and helicopters were there to keep order, just in case. Russia's welcome to the world of live rock and roll!!!
I subscribed to your channel, watching alot of different video , when this video was made , to today you have done a good job, Iam a small rancher blew my knee out on my horse so I have lots of time to give my opinion
As far as their live shows, check out S&M with SF symphony. Esp Hero of the day, Nothing else matters, Outlaw torn or No leaf clover sound really great!
I know a song no one has really reacted to it was spyhunter by project 86 and even has a interesting video that has a cliffhanger ending if you could react to it that'd be great
Please react to chalice of blood live in 1989 by forbidden. They are super underrated and the song has good vocals, a very intricate riff and it has unbelievable energy
Your reaction was great. . But imagine the reaction of the folks in that crowd. . Russia had been a closed country for 70 years. . . Then this show comes to town. . . . Reported to be 1.6 MILLION people in the audience. . . 99% of them have NEVER been to ANY rock show EVER IN THEIR LIFE!!. . Zero experience of anything. And then the FIRST rock show they ever see is THIS!!!?? MINDS BLOWN!!!! The energy coming off that crowd could have powered 15 aircraft carriers!
The Russian army was there for crowd control. And, used helicopters for crowd control. Once the music started many of the soldiers just went nuts and joined the concert. This was held at an empty airfield. You know the crowd is big when they are the horizon.
Without this song and the black album I don't know if I would have started my love affair with Metallica at the time I did. The two things that stand out to me about that album are 1) a comment I heard from Scott Ian/Antrhax about saying yes, Metallica sold out, they sold out every show after that album hit and 2) once you do their back catalog from this album you will notice how they changed in style but you can also tell someone actually did the hard work on getting James to sing better and producing their sound better.
And a danish 🇩🇰😁flag on the drumkit...The story goes that Lars compleatly destroyed hes hands...blood on the drums...thats Evy he always plays with his fingers taped
1.6 Million people, and then they stop counting. Intro/back story- ruclips.net/video/_hYNsa2Qyjs/видео.html Riots/on with the show- ruclips.net/video/MW9gS69bRGY/видео.html But my fav is For Whom The Bell Tolls Live Seattle 1989- ruclips.net/video/Zi021mb0AtI/видео.html
Great song choice and reaction! She needs to see the video of the band that got that crowd fired up to begin with! I'd love to see her reaction to and to hear her lyrical breakdown of - (Pantera - Domination - Monsters Of Rock Moscow). Link ~ ruclips.net/video/XRhrolRzKVo/видео.html . I think she'll appreciate the band, music and the overhead video showing the size of the crowd from a helicopter at the very end of this video. Rock on!🤘🏽🤘🏾 Peace!!☮
RAPPERS ALWAYS SAY THEY SELL OUT STADIUMS 🏟, METALLICA SAYS THATS NICE 👍 WE SOLD OUT A COUNTRY. LOL 😂🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘👍👍👍💪💪💪 , I WAS INMY TWENTIES BACK THEN. GOD IM OLD LOL 😂
Have you heard The Warning? If you want to analyze lyrics, their 2nd album, Queen of the Murder Scene, is a concept album which tells the story of a disturbed young woman's inner journey from desire to obsession to murder to self-loathing to suicide. The songs are told from the point of view of either the young lady's inner psychopath or her good side, which has a conscience - until it does not. The 1st song is Dust to Dust: ruclips.net/video/TeIbG8nkOiU/видео.html
Wish they still sounded like this live. Or more specifically.... James. His voice has always been killer. But they cut their hair, painted their nails.... and deployed autotune. Two of these things can be forgiven.
![Metallica - Enter Sandman (Live Moscow 1991 HD) [ REACTION ] Metallica Throws The Hammer Down!!](/img/1.gif)
Imagine the sound system needed for this to overcome a couple million fans and freaking helicopters flying low overhead.
It was only 500’000 people, James Hetfield confirmed it some time back, still awesome though 🔥🔥

Legend has it people are still leaving that concert
No, they still singing at that concert. Why would they leave?

That is how long the port-a-pot line was.
Still looking for my lada.

Moscow. Russia 1991
2.5
Official numbers were 1.6 million
Mark Wisniewski no tickets to count.
I wish the ladies I know got into Metallica like you do.
Some are...😁

Harvester from this show its beast
Yes, perhaps eclipsing even the binge/purge videos. Contender for the greatest live performance of all time imo.
Tasha and Metallica 😍🎄🤘Merry Christmas to me!
This never gets old! My favorite metal band bar none!
Monsters Of Rock tour!!! If I remember right, the Russian government used their military for crowd control, but you can see the troops saying "F" it and rocking out, too... Nice reaction! Peace! Cheers!!!
Metallica single handedly defeated the Soviet Union :)
Scott ?????? No that was themselves, nobidy defeated the soviet union...
Either way guys, Metallica put on an incredible show back then.
@Scott ?????? No Gorbachev led his people to freedom, Reagan had nothing to do with it, He was just along for the ride. In fact the UK had more to do with the fall of the Iron Curtain than the US did
@Scott ?????? Its also well documented who the UK was doing it too, Reagn just jumped on board
Only if Ronald Reagen was a band member;-)

THE GREATEST BAND EVER...THE SONG ONE OFF THE AND JUSTICE FOR ALL ALBUM IS MY FAV SONG... BEEN A FAN SINCE THE 80'S
Was officially 1.6 million people..amazing!
gives me goosebumps
They were so good live. That's far from their best...go back in time from here and watch pretty much any live performances of their best songs. The skill to make that fast tempo, organized wall of sound live, and absolutely nail it, amazes me every time.
That moment when my grandfather took my father to that show... Heard so many stories!
I am now following based on your hot wife and her reaction to the music I have loved for years....
She interprets music very well
Natasha is hot.
You always look so happy and excited - so does your husband - that's contagious WHOOPSY wrong word- it makes you wanna be happy..and ROCK out

Please react to The Beatles - Yesterday (Live,New York 1965)
P/S WE WERE WATCHING IT ON TV LIVE NOW CAN YOU IMAGINE THE CROWD AND TV .HOLY CRAP LOL
I was a military contractor paid protection.
I remember thinking if this gets crazy there's no hope
I played football in the minor-league up until I 35 listen to this song right before every game to get ready for the game
If rumors are true. there is 1,6 milion fans headbanging their brains away there.😍✌
I know a song no one has really reacted to it was spyhunter by project 86 and even has a interesting video that has a cliffhanger ending if you could react to it that'd be great
Good Lord !!! Looks like a scene from " apocalypse now "
Listen to Architects- Gone with the wind. It's one of Tom's (guitarist) final songs before he passed due to cancer. The songs really emotional
Love Ecstasy of Gold entrance
awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Metallica Rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please react to chalice of blood live in 1989 by forbidden. They are super underrated and the song has good vocals, a very intricate riff and it has unbelievable energy
1.500.000 people!
Creeping Death from this same concert, or Domination from this same concert but Pantera
Your reaction was great. .
But imagine the reaction of the folks in that crowd. .
Russia had been a closed country for 70 years. . . Then this show comes to town. . . .
Reported to be 1.6 MILLION people in the audience. . . 99% of them have NEVER been to ANY rock show EVER IN THEIR LIFE!!. . Zero experience of anything.

MINDS BLOWN!!!!
The energy coming off that crowd could have powered 15 aircraft carriers!
1.9 million estimated to be in the crowd when Metallica went on stage!
@Stutter of the House I reckon not, research it.
Weren't the numbers for when Metallica were on 1.6 ?
That’s the total number of ppl during the whole festival, but there were about 500-600k ppl at most at one time.
Like the esp!!! You guy should do one on Primes. I would say the LIVE on vid of the song Those damned blue collar Tweekers
The Russian army was there for crowd control. And, used helicopters for crowd control. Once the music started many of the soldiers just went nuts and joined the concert. This was held at an empty airfield. You know the crowd is big when they are the horizon.

Yes, from life from flight 666.
Try Orion next. The best instrumental ever created.
Enjoy your reactions! You guys are cool.
If you take suggestions, you need to do some STEEL PANTHER. I would strongly suggest GIRL FROM OKLAHOMA.
I believe there was 1.6 million people at that show.
I'm only watched for Tasha!
1.6 million people. Remember USSR was not open to having USA groups coming over there. This was one of the first concerts after USSR fell.

Have you seen the Metallica S@M concert with the classical Orchestra?
Those people aren't social distancing!!!
American politicians never ever want to hear this at a protest, we pull out Metallica we mean business.
You should react to eddie van Halen's "solo eruption". It is just mind blowing i swear

I'm not trying to be funny .. But you're one of the nicest girls I've seen. 😀

And do your research about what going on during that period
That’s a lot of men with probably 5 women at the back half a mile away.
