On the morning of Aug 31st, 1985, I was 15 years old and that morning my older stepbrother, who was going to the concert with 3 friends, told me one of them backed out and asked if I wanted to buy his ticket. I was a *huge* Metallica fan but I knew I couldn't miss my mom's annual birthday brunch with the family, so I declined. My mother somehow found out, bought the ticket for me and told me to have a good time. Up until then I'd only seen Eddie Money and The Little River Band in concert, so this concert just blew my freaking mind. - Thanks mom!
Same here! Saw my first Metallica concert back in ‘83 when Mustaine was still their lead. Me and my mates biked down to the venue last minute and bought tickets for only 10 bucks. They were cheap in the glory days. Went to this concert too in ‘85, definitely my favourite concert yet.

I was at this Day on the Green. Victory, Yngwie Malsteen, Metallica, Y&T, Ratt and the Scorpions. We were there to see Metallica. After the show we drove down to Santa Cruz and partied on the beach. Crashed in the back of my buddy's truck only to be woken up by the park rangers telling us we couldn't camp there. Not sure where we slept, but the next day we ended up at a college frat BBQ on the beach. They were pretty cool considering we were all long hair metal heads.
I’m from Santa Cruz but missed this concert. I’ve seen hundreds of concerts growing up in Santa Cruz Y&T in particular love Santa Cruz I’ve seen them more times than I can count here. I’m 63 now and still rockin to metal!❤😊
7:29 ,him screaming that in his old voice will forever be amazing to me that few seconds tell you everything you need to know about Metallica while Cliff was alive!
I wish I would have seen this show! My first experience with Metallica was the following year in 86 on the Master of Puppets-Damage Inc Tour in Long Beach June 13,14,and 15. They opened for OZZY on his Ultimate Sin tour. Absolutely fucking amazing! RIP CLIFF ❤️🎸😎🙏🏻✝️
I got to see them in April of ‘86 at The Spectrum in Philly. Went to see Oz, but left a dedicated Metallica fan for life. I remember when they came on and just took over. The velocity of their live performance was nothing I’ve ever seen before. I remember after they finished, I went to the merch stand and bought my first Metallica t-shirt. Don’t get me wrong, Oz was phenomenal, but Metallica absolutely stole the show. I remember that weekend I bought “Master of Puppets”, “Ride the Lightning”, “Kill ‘Em All” and if memory serves me correctly, the “Jump In the Fire” picture disc. A revelation for a young 12 year old.
I try to imagine telling a club owner in their early 1981 days, "Please play this song when we come out, The Ecstasy of Gold". The owner's like "There are four people here at Greasy Tony's Pizza Palace and two are bartenders."
Saw them in 86 long island coliseum the blew ozzy off the stage. Nobody wanted them to stop playing. Fans tearing seat cushions off chairs, it was insane. They were fast kicked ass!! Lars was a double bass beast then. Damage inc fast as hell! All songs were twice normal speed
Damn this was a GREAT Day on the Green! Over 4 months into my 20th year, we drove in from Sacramento for this one. Still have chills from Metallica's set that day...what an absolutely awesome metal moment for the band and all of us there! Metal Up Your ASS!
Well... recording the "moment" is imo fine if you wanna flex you've been to the concert or if you want to relive that moment again. This kind of stuff is much better (and cheaper) than any kind of merch you could get during the concert.
@@darrellpasion8925 There was camera on both sides of the stage for all the bands playing. on the right facing was a camera woman in black.There has to be more footage out there
Dude.. they're not only the kings of thrash no matter era, MetallicA is one of the greatest bands that EVER walked on freaking Earth regardless music's genre. They're bigger than any rock movement or Metal scene... Not even Rolling Stones, The Beatles or Led Zeppelin's stood active for as long on the road as them till nowdays including just to give you an idea
I was at this concert! Day on the Green concerts were awesome! Autograph, Yngwie, Metallica, Y&T, Ratt, Scorpions! That was the line-up. It took a minute for Metallica to lock in as a unit. I remember Kirk was out of tune for a song. The red ice chest has Heineken in it! Thanks for the upload! Good times as a 20 year old!
I don't remember Autograph, just some band name Victory. But for sure Metallica was still green and out of tune.....but always in time. Haha. I saw them twice on the Lightn' tour. 19 years old. Glad I was alive to see it.
I miss thrash Metallica so much, long hair, no fucks given....but we all grow up, even our hero's..sucks but I can say Im so happy there still playing and james kirk and lars are all alive and healthy, RIP Cliff!
I've still got long hair, 18 in81 an I've still got zero fUCKS given except for The Metal Family I recognize, not the drunken losers, all be iti drink but know when To Go, and just relish at taking in these cats at 60, where as I'm still in shape, long hair, all my METAL FACALTIES, LOL AND JUST Dig reliving our youth together. These guys are distant family an Woah to anybody who FUCKS with em. Take care fellow METAL Head
PS I've got their 1 of500 copies of their Double album called Assassin's. NOT BRAGGING AS EGOS AND POSERS CAN FUK RIGHT OFF BUT FIGURED ID SHARE A LITTLE METAL PEDIGREE ASCLIFFS ON THIS DOUBLE ALBUM.RIP CLIFF,MISS YOU MAN
This concert was EPIC, no doubt! 🙄 Watching Cliff Burton playin'bass so furiously is gratifying for any METALHEAD and the rest of the band were full force driven... And I truly miss that ''crazy bashing head Alcoholica J.Hetfield'' ripping the pillage apart on stage just like that... Holy shit... Time is cruel fellas!! Anyway, THANKS Metallica🤘🤘💯
It’s a fucking shame that we never got the full performance. If I’m not mistaken, MTV shot the entire ‘Day On the Green’ festival and did the interviews with James and Lars.
Oh dont break our metal hearts dear poster, its really the full? You know, some say the real full of Day on the Green is hidden and not shared to public including the Yngwie's performance. All the best🤘
Rockin with them since early 80's, im60now and still in shape,long hair,give a shit attitude and just a fuknkillerselectionof vintage Metallica albums, love ke 1 of 500 double album, Assasins with cliff andi couldn't have put I more DESERVING: THEY SEEKED AND DESTROYED..GOD BLESS
When I was a kid with my Cliff em All VHS tape I wish that someday there would be the full show of this and the germany one. Too bad they had the gain at 2.
When I was 13 I got hold of a bootleg Cliff em all vhs that rolled and oh it was bad ass terrible. Anyway you guys remember it cut off right at the 4th chord intro to horseman? I think about back then my buddies and me were all like talking how great it would have been to see the whole concert...but then other footage cuts in...anyway I remember that shit. See em first time 89 justice we were fuuuuuuuuuuqed up but I still remember..hehe!
Was there! In case you don’t know, The drawing on the white fabric is a Scorpion for the headliners,The Scorpions, who were massive at the time, they stole the show at Day on the Green a couple years earlier with Iron Maiden. This will be on the test!

Same here. Can't help it, the Energy still translates thru the screen
It's really good but Def not "peak" moment they had alot of amazing moments up till 91 even after that.
No Cliff, no Metallica.@@midnight347
It’s getting pretty difficult to not headbang to this or bop my head
I am literally tapping my foot as I read this 🤘😆🤘
Cliff is a beast with that tornado of hair surrounding his face … fuckin bad ass!

They been doing it since the kill em all tour I know for sure. Idk if they did it at the small clubs in the beginning not sure
@@midnight347 it was a speeding heart beat at the beginning I'm pretty sure
18:17 just look how much passion and care Cliff had for the band and the music, with his moves and all haha. So sad we lost such a legend.
Saw them in 86 long island coliseum the blew ozzy off the stage. Nobody wanted them to stop playing. Fans tearing seat cushions off chairs, it was insane. They were fast kicked ass!! Lars was a double bass beast then. Damage inc fast as hell! All songs were twice normal speed
Cocaine
I was at the Coliseum show. The whole place was shaking!! Unless you were there you will never know!
Cocooned era
I would've absolutely no doubt in my thrash loving mind totally see them back in the 80's

Can actually hear Cliff's bass, sounds incredible. It's the Cliff show.
Cliff was the best Metallica musician
@@viniciusamorim237 For sure, I miss the melodic harmonies he brought to the table.
Cliff era insano no baixo. PQP!
So Effin amazing ,And it's basically 40 years ago
Lightning fingers Burton over here lol
Love everyone head banging instead of standing there with their cell phones! Those were the days!❤😊
We naturally lived in the moment instead of trying to record it.
True that

I remember Kirk was out of tune for a song. The red ice chest has Heineken in it! Thanks for the upload! Good times as a 20 year old!
Autograph 😂...Turn up the Radio. Ratt was probably pretty good back then as were the Scorpions. I wonder what Yngwie was like..
I don't remember Autograph, just some band name Victory. But for sure Metallica was still green and out of tune.....but always in time. Haha. I saw them twice on the Lightn' tour. 19 years old. Glad I was alive to see it.
@@stuartewoldt1513 Yngwie was good. Rising Force was a pretty tight band.
Look at Cliff rocking it! 🤘
I swear cliffs right hand was not human
Wow now i realize how much cliff was lowered in the mix on studio albums
James’s voice is one of the main reasons this band was so huge. Riffs and songs are great, but his voice was always so commanding
His voice is my favorite thing to hear in these 85-89 videos
His voice was awesome till about 95. His style of singing was brutal. But I'm glad we still have him none the less.
James voice got sucks when he think hes good at vocals (black album)
