I WAS THERE !!!! It was the first in our country, after the fall of the Iron Curtain, a rock concert with the participation of Western bands. The entire USSR was there. People carried the flags "Chelyabiinsk", "Tallinn", and from all cities in general. I was lucky, I came at 10 o'clock in the morning, I watched people wake up around the fires, which arrived in the evening. Thanks to this, I was standing close, 50 meters, and almost in the center. The first cordon of the riot police was along the stage, the second was 50 meters away, so I was standing right next to the riot police, chest to chest. And empty bottles flew into my back and into the back of my head, which were addressed to the riot police. ) At the concert, there were about 100 wounded, mostly from riot police, the fights were terrible. The people were indignant that the riot police did not let them get closer to the stage ... The frightened authorities reinforced the cordon with some signalmen, apparently the nearest part of the FAPSI from Khodynka, these poor fellows were without armor and without helmets ... There were few sober ... It was reported that there there were at least 600,000 people! This is the most crowded concert of Metallica! The concert started at 14, first Black Crowes, Panther, E.S.T., all the while there was a carnage. ) Around 6:30 pm Metallica came out and the violence abruptly stopped!!! Fuck fighting, what can be divided, when - here they are, whose cassettes we listened to the holes all childhood, passed from hand to hand and copied from each other to a soapy sound ... and certainly never dreamed of hearing and seeing them live! Even the riot police opened their elbows and turned around to face the stage. The great power of art conquers any violence!!! You can also see on the video how some guys are standing and not shaking, but quietly listening. Here I was one of those. I oh...ate 200%. For me, this whole crowd ceased to exist. Just stood and listened, soaking up every sound, as if in tetanus. James later said in an interview that they were very scared when they saw a slam of 600,000 people, and with the participation of soldiers. :) They even wanted to refuse to perform, but they took the balls in their fists and went on stage! In this video, you can see that during the first song, James looks scared. What if this crowd rushes onto the stage, no troops could hold it back! They didn't realize that not only did each of these stoned, riotous teenagers not want to offend them, but on the contrary, we were ready to fight anyone to protect Metallica from all dangers! The great AC/DC came out at 20:00, I'm glad I saw and heard them, but it was more of a light rock'n'roll fan with their inflatable dolls and cannons scorching some kind of turnip. ) The Tushinskaya metro station, even with a great desire, cannot accommodate 600,000 people, so the survivors mostly dispersed on foot, people hung in clusters on the tram like in a chronicle about the war. And everyone had blissful facial expressions, just like children who were given the most desirable toy in life ... Tears flowed. If the word "epic" means anything, it's this. ) And Hatfield of all ... He said that now they would come every year, but their next concert in Russia took place already in 2007 at Luzhniki. And I was there too. ))) Dmitry from Belarus, 50 years old. And further. Metallica, if you ever read my comment, I just want to say one thing: we love you. Russians love you!
Deam....thank you for telling this!!! Amazing story, piece of history! You were lucky 😁 But everything you say I am sure is absolute true!! Those times in history were...dream come true!
Skipped school for two days to go to see MetallicA and AC/DC. It was pandemonium but when you are 15 it's exactly what you need. I'm 43 now my 3 yo daughter is sleeping in her room and I'm still there ... in Moscow... in 1991...
Imagine being Metallica and seeing an endless ocean of people, thats when you know you truly made it. All these people took that one day out of their lives to see YOU. They've planned for months to hear YOUR music. How incredible would that feel?
I was there before stage It was explosive million 600k screaming fans. Then we fight with militia for Freedom!! But before it was 1st ever Rock festival Moscow Peace festival!! Blown my mind we start with Skid row then inanity in pure❤drop couple of words❤
Yes corre,ct darling , was like mega shopping day , perhaps had to spend day or week to get there and same time to get back to ex USSR location . Was lucky just 45min flight to Moscow. Let's remember those 50+ that did not make back, some russian were ready to swap their life for show anyway. Was attacked and accused for retreating i.e for bit of rest after hours head banging. Was Greater reason to die there compare to dieing in Ukrainian
All bands played an absolutely awesome set Pantera put on just as good of show as any of them they were the 1st band to play & they were so hot had just toured 300+ days straight, needless to say the CFH set the bar extremely high for all the bands to follow making it an even more badass show, RIP Darrell & Vinnie🤘
I was at this concert in 1991. I have never seen so many people in my life before or after. Fans gathered from all cities of the USSR. The concert organizers did not expect such an amount. There was a threat to human lives when a crowd of thousands of people moving towards the stage began to put pressure on the first rows of spectators. The organizers used the police and the cadets, lined them up in chains, to divide all spectators into sectors so that the back rows did not move forward. But many drunken fans tried to break through to the scene through the police ranks. When they failed, they showed aggression towards the police and the cadets, began to throw bottles at them. The police responded with rubber truncheons and the incidents quickly ceased. The show was great, and we, the young guys brought a lot of emotions. But only now I understand that this show had a huge impact on the youth and was one of the elements of the controlled process of the hybrid destruction of our big country. The concert was free and we still do not know who paid for it ...
Just take a moment and imagine being Metallica there, on stage, in front of a million and a half people, thrashing out and being badasses in Moscow on the year the Soviet Union collapses. Sea of crowd, helicopters flying, flags of countries all throughout the world, representing the diversity of Metallica fans, even soldiers enjoying the music. All just seeing 4 guys jamming out. Must've been beyond surreal for the audience and a whole new level of craziness for Metallica themselves.
На самом деле у них остались ,,странные воспоминания,, от кучи ментов,которые дубасили людей и летающих низко вертолётов, что само по себе было опасным.
As an American I truly love the Russian people. It is sad our politicians brainwash people into hating each other. I wish the US and Russia were closer. I have many Russian friends.
" It is sad our politicians brainwash people into hating each other" You nailed it right on the head. It's the Governments fault for brainwashing one population to hate another.
Donald Trump knows what this feels like. Believe that. Fuck being "MANAGED" or "REGULATED" This was an epic concert. I'm going to crank Metallica in my car tomorrow.
thats the time before chechens get radical,there a lot chechens and russians casachs in the crowd and now ? Politic makes all angry and destroyed the friendship🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕
This concert was such a fantastic moment in the collapse of the old USSR. All of the bands rocked that day...but Metallica owned the day. What a legendary performance.
UtherDrums Nah Phil was super drunk, that's why his singing was a lot weaker than normal, still killer but James was better imo allthough Kirk's guitar was detuned as fuck...
This was the most epic concert ever and there is nothing else from this point. The historical moment, the country, the line-up, the energy and scale of that crowd! This is like the mother and father of the concerts.
Wha? Icp no? Forget which year. Back when punk popped up again there were huge concerts for green day and the sum 41 tards. there is nothing that big? Please. Black metal even thrived live. Try for rock n roll KISS. Female metal the butcher babies.
No? Well yeah right after Cold War nuke treaty. there was a milli ish here. Long distance radar systems picked up weird tings near the end. Us and them. And them. Glorious duckers holding the concert here
I was there, memories for a lifetime, Russia could have become like the USA if not for Putin…Freedom and equality forever! And of course Justice for All✌️
Я там был мне было 16 лет это был трэж!!!! Народ кидался бутылками из под пива в милицию попадало мимо в своих же те кидали обратно. Пули из бутылок летали над головами. Больше миллиона бухих. Тайно проносили пиво и что покрепче. В метро в Тушино давка выламывали сиденья на обратном пути с концерта. Ночные волки не помогли с порядком хоть и пытались, это было бесконтрольно, такого больше не было и не будет. Молодежи из Совецкого Союза дали вырваться на свободу, на целый вечер, это было очень круто. АС/DC там было тоже и еще пару крутых групп. Хэвю металл братва!!!!
I was an oboist throughout highschool and college, I can tell you that the feeling of having just the few hundred people cheer after solos is nothing that can be replicated by drugs or any other activity. I can't imagine the hit you get from over a million.
What an EPIC concert!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh my GOD....!!!! I'm a Heavy Metal hardcore-fan for almost 40 years and an Ex bass-player of Greek metal band, i have heard in my life all the greatest metal bands of 80's and 90's, and many more, i have seen many live concerts in Greece and i have to say that the Iron Maiden, the Metallica and the Judas Priest are the epitomy of the Heavy Metal Music worlwide. I LOVE METALLICA!!!!!!!!!! They have the momentum, the power, the inexhaustible energy and the pure passion of a true metal band. The sudden loss of Cliff Burton was very big and painful but the band continued the concerts energetically with more passion than ever and that's why this epic concert became. I think Metallica are for the Heavy Metal scene what the AC\DC are for Hard Rock scene. And that's why they are already in the pantheon of the greatest bands worlwide.
Fuck yeah they say they feed off the energy of the crowd well that night they must have felt like a nuclear power plant one hell of a concert I wish I could have been there
Nah. After playing in Decatur, Illinois in 1986, no crowd of any size compares. And the Decatur crowd was less than 3k people. No tapes, no pictures, no set list. And the guys were hammered. I drank Vodka from a bottle passed by Cliff over a fence. We were all in Peoria, but that venue sucked.
Oh man I've always said it that playing live shows is the best rush I've ever got better than any drug I used to love it had a really good metal band in the 2000s I really miss it but it was no where near on the scale that show was they will probably never be that many people in one place at a show like that ever again, it must've been an absolutely out of this world experience🤘
@@johnkooy5327 see it's ironic because the only reason a band was able to draw 1.6 million people is because radio acted as the gatekeeper of music so there was only a select amount of artists in the mainstream eye, and all the sheep were told what to listen to. now we have the internet, so people's music taste is much more individual and specificly catered to what they like, therefore no artist will EVER be able to draw a crowd like that again.
Jesus, could you imagine what it must have been like for them to walk out on that stage? To see that many people cheering eagerly to see them perform? As an artist, that must have been the single greatest feeling in the world.
I was there at 13. They went apeshit for Motley crew too but Metallica still had the edge. James must of felt like an emperor of the world! 90% of the fuckers could barely speak English and only some knew what the lyrics meant from the bootleg tapes sold in shops they translated.
If I could travel to the past I would put an ad in the Los Angeles Recycler Newspaper under James and Lars ad in the band section saying, 8 year old looking to travel with a band as a water boy or to watch over any instruments on or off stage.
@@matko8038 Moscow is the greatest ever man. There is not even a thing to discuss about that. Of the vid we see hundreds of thousands of People. It was between .5 and 1 people there. It could be 1.5 or 2 million just as well. That's history
@@martyleyeti yeah, but still, they only played 4/5 songs. Seattle 89 was a much better Metallica concert imo. But this sure holds history but because of the other bands who were also there.
@@matko8038 ? you can not read ? We 're talking about if it's the greatest concert of all times or not. and IT IS. We're not discussing your personal taste. It's not even about Metallica. [ACDC, Pantera and others were there too that day]. It's about Music in the entire music history. And Why you lie ? Why you say they played only 4-5 songs while they played 13 songs that day, plus the intro ?? Besides : how you dare to compare Seattle 89 to this ? This is more than music. It's history. It outclasses Woodstock 69 it prolly outclasses any other concert at any time in the entire humanity history... I don't understand why you write things so stupid
A war in Afghanistan, the Berlin wall, and the Chernobyl disaster were the undoing of the Soviet Union, but *Metallica* and *Billy Joel* are responsible for the introduction of rock and metal to the citizens. It was all over for the CCCP shortly after that.... Music is a powerful force of nature!
I get the message but there was rock and metal in the Soviet Union way before it. People should check it out actually, Soviet rock/metal were pretty amazing
This is best metal consert ever!! Soviet union was just collapse and peoples can enjoy "western" metal. It was own time woodstock!! F..k, when i'm not in there, was only 16 years old -91.
Хэтфилд Молодой, в самом расцвете сил, лучшие годы. Позже он признал, это лучший концерт в его жизни. Обратите внимание на голос, по сравнению со студийной записью, эмоций намного больше. Он был в шоке. Такого количества народа, 1 600 000 никогда в жизни нигде не собиралось. Концерт внесён в книгу рекордов Гиннеса.
Конечно, такой наплыв рок групп. Довелось мне там быть, добирались на перекладных, передевались где кто смог, в автобусе, в электричке да везде одевали свой металл. Много воспоминании от этого концерта осталось у юнца тогдашнего. 1977г.р🏴☠️
2 раза был на Метле, оба раза было ощущение, что он не поет, а отрабатывает. Монстры рока точно был их пик популярности и творчества. А в 99 на фестивале Рок Киев они пели перед пустым залом, после чего Хетфилд сказал, что в Украину больше ни ногой
Мощь! Качали тогда, качают и сегодня в 2022 году! Даже не представить какая громкость была на концерте, чтобы столько народа охватить 🔥который был просто в экстазе 😁
более 600к народа! Запредельная мощь! И наши б... "звезды"... , каково филе или тимати там кто еще, клоуны, б.. Струны на гитаре Ньюстеда не стоят! И это Металлика! 30 лет прошло... А есть еще Слэйер, Сепультура!
The largest rock concert of all time was in Rio, Brazil: 4.2 million people (in 1994)! But 1.6 million is still a massive crowd, to say the least. A million of anything is a lot.
This had to be the most insane concert in this universe. You cannot even see the end of people it's just amazing. I can't imagine what y'all must have thought.
I checked its the second largest concert in history, but the first had some weird band playing and idk about those numbers because I've never heard of the band, I'm just going to count this as the largest
1991, I was 2 years old. Just saw them last weekend, 2023, 2 nights different setlist! . It was amazing! I thought about this concert and all years that have passed!. I am lucky!.
@@rubywal Just imagine, what was the greatest day in the lives of the 1.6 million people in the audience was probably one of worst days of Vladimir Putin's. I doubt anyone had cheered with such deep adoration about anything in the entire history of the Soviet Union and it had to kill him seeing it
@@rubywal You are so right, it's like their heads are stuck in 1915 where the rule of 'to whom the victor goes the spoils' is still a valid foreign policy position. I'm so glad to hear inside and outside of Russia there are people who see this abomination in Ukraine for what it is. I have hope after this despotic gerontocracy dies off we will be in a situation where it is safe for massive music festivals like this again. I used to watch what was perhaps Metallica's finest moment here in awe of profound happiness of the crowd but now it makes me sad for what could have been. It also makes me sad that a significant percentage of these concert goers in 1991 are likely zombified by propaganda today.
@@rubywal Of all the bad guys in the war in Ukraine, the separatists perhaps may be the worst of the bunch. Many of the organized, systematic atrocities have been committed by Ukrainians on Ukrainians and I fear that the genocidal acts which have already been found will be dwarfed by what will be discovered in the separatist regions, setting into motion a brutal civil war in Ukraine. Between this and the fact all the damage being inflicted on the rest of Ukraine is being done in the name of the Luhansk and Donbas rebels, I can easily imagine that in the aftermath of a Russian withdrawal, the Ukrainians will seek vengeance upon them if they regain control over the separatist regions. I'm less worried about a civil war in Belarus since Lukashenko has long overstayed his welcome and by all appearances, is quite unpopular. Obviously you would know better than me but it would seem that if Lukashenko were to be overthrown, not too many people would be very upset about it. While it probably wouldn't go down without some drama, I can easily forsee a relatively smooth transition into democracy occurring through peaceful means. Russia on the other hand would likely experience great turmoil in a post Putin world. Unlike Lukashenko, his position in power is quite well solidified and is popular with large swaths of the country thanks to his decades long propaganda media campaign but of course it would all depend on the means through which he is removed. If he dies a natural death, that would be that and people will move on, if he resigns people would probably accept that as well (I don't see that happening though) but if he's overthrown through any other manner, I don't see him going down without a fight or in the worst case scenario, he launches a nuclear attack to bring the whole world down with him. I wish I could say this possibility is fantastically overblown but he seems rather casual about the idea of a nuclear war, he talks like he almost wants it to happen.
This had to be the most intense moment ever experienced by any band ever, to walk out on stage in front of 1.5 M metal starved Russians with open arms... I love the Russian people... so much passion... you are BEAUTIFUL! \m/ \m/
I'm pretty sure nobody has ever rocked as hard as Newsted did starting at 1:21. I mean, holy shit.... playing in a country he'd grown up being told was his enemy, and whose government and his were ready to annihilate each other only a few years earlier.... and now he's playing in front of a million of that country's people cheering for his band, as the world changes right in front of them? Hard to imagine a higher career peak than that. \m/
Был на этом концерте. Правда, в защитной форме и каске. Солдаты разбили поле на сектора, чтобы народ друг друга на подавил. Стояли, сцепившись в шеренге руками. И так пять часов) Ради этого концерта не пожалел, что отбыл 2 года в армии. Ещё там были ас/dc и "panters".
I can only imagine what it was like for those young people who had suffered under YEARS of repression and censorship. . To be FINALLY allowed to see a rock band . . LIVE! AND THEN. . . Their FIRST experience of raw, live rock is METALLICA. . At FULL BLAST. . In their prime! Fucking MINDS. . . . BLOWN!!!!!! The emotion would have been OVERWHELMING!!! It's like your whole life, the "emotion" and "freedom" dials were set at 1 or 2. . . Then you come to this show and someone turns the dials up to 40,000!!!
Sad but true😁but first Rock festival was also in Moscow in 89, Peace Music fest featuring Skid, Cinderella, Poison, Bon Jovi, Ozzy etc Honestly Tom Kiefer and Zakk still the show, I was there. On Monster fest.is 1 million 600k people. The biggest Rock gest ever and all bands plays for free to support freedom! Hail to the King!
@@MetalrageHell the US isn't a Democracy. We are a Constitutional Republic and you guys use that BS democracy line to justify invading other countries. How's that democracy in Iraq and Afghanistan going? Also the Democrats hate freedom and mock people who still believe in freedom of speech and gun rights.
Despite nearly erasing the entire world, Metallica proved that the major powers of Earth, if only for a moment, can put aside their differences and absolutely rock out
I was there. It was great!. We had some vodka and some special tobacco. It was fun. All bands were good. Then these guys began to play and it was like lightning and thunder!
I'm not sure if our Russian Brothers and Sisters of metal know, but MANY of us here in the states , and in other places in the world watched this live and paid a hefty fee to watch it live on Cable PPV. it was one of the first Music PPV this and the Moscow Music Peace Festival. Just know that metal heads all around the world were rockin' out as well! Stay Metal!
Lol mobile phones and cameras wernt cancer back then, like they are today, cuz ppl actually enjoyed what whas infront of them instead of trying to capture it
@@aasheeshpradeepbhai7202 I know, i saw it, it's amazing, but this is better because of the social context in that timy, besides, the song is one, or two seconds more fast than should be, because they are scare, but, with their scare they are playing no matter what. Is just outstanding.

In my Opinion the best Concert of Pantera and AC/DC to. You can feel the Intensity of this endless Crowd 30 Years ago. You can see the Respekt in the Eyes of the Bandmembers and they switched it to raw Power.
Metallica is and will be the best metal band forever !!! I saw them over 30 times live and it was always insane ! I wished I was there in Russia the power and passion there was and is unique !!! Now I am 62 sitting most of the time in a wheelchair but headbanging still works 🤘🔥✊🔥🤘
Wow... JUST WOW! The Power, the Influence, the Presence, the Impact. the Skill. This international concert by Metallica means more than any political effort.... Hands down. Well Done!
З0 лет назад, когда я впервые услышал Металлику я сказал сам себе, что это великая группа. И я не ошибся. Только это группа может собрать столько любителей. Вся Россия на ногах !!! Потрясающе !!!
Hatfield Young, in his prime, his best years. He later admitted it was the best concert of his life. Pay attention to the voice, compared to studio recording, there is much more emotion. He was shocked. Such a large number of people, 1 600 000 have never gathered anywhere in their life. The concert is included in the Guinness Book of Records.

I was at this concert in 1991. I have never seen so many people in my life before or after. Fans gathered from all cities of the USSR. The concert organizers did not expect such an amount. There was a threat to human lives when a crowd of thousands of people moving towards the stage began to put pressure on the first rows of spectators. The organizers used the police and the cadets, lined them up in chains, to divide all spectators into sectors so that the back rows did not move forward. But many drunken fans tried to break through to the scene through the police ranks. When they failed, they showed aggression towards the police and the cadets, began to throw bottles at them. The police responded with rubber truncheons and the incidents quickly ceased. The show was great, and we, the young guys brought a lot of emotions. But only now I understand that this show had a huge impact on the youth and was one of the elements of the controlled process of the hybrid destruction of our big country. The concert was free and we still do not know who paid for it ...
wow. you and your era must be very lucky. i wonder what the back crowd would see... bet they cent even see the band lol
"Still do not know who paid". Interesting 🤔

hey, you guys forgot about that Russian Metal band played in this concert? the EST band
Lmao. ACDC and Panthera helped too.
But the Scorpions brought down the Berlin wall. Creds2 them4 that.
Just take a moment and imagine being Metallica there, on stage, in front of a million and a half people, thrashing out and being badasses in Moscow on the year the Soviet Union collapses. Sea of crowd, helicopters flying, flags of countries all throughout the world, representing the diversity of Metallica fans, even soldiers enjoying the music. All just seeing 4 guys jamming out. Must've been beyond surreal for the audience and a whole new level of craziness for Metallica themselves.

Тайно проносили пиво и что покрепче. В метро в Тушино давка выламывали сиденья на обратном пути с концерта. Ночные волки не помогли с порядком хоть и пытались, это было бесконтрольно, такого больше не было и не будет. Молодежи из Совецкого Союза дали вырваться на свободу, на целый вечер, это было очень круто. АС/DC там было тоже и еще пару крутых групп. Хэвю металл братва!!!!

Absolutely slaying the guitar in front of a crowd like that must be an unimaginable feeling.

What an EPIC concert!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh my GOD....!!!! I'm a Heavy Metal hardcore-fan for almost 40 years and an Ex bass-player of Greek metal band,
i have heard in my life all the greatest metal bands of 80's and 90's, and many more, i have seen many live concerts in Greece and i have to say that the Iron Maiden, the Metallica and the Judas Priest are the epitomy of the Heavy Metal Music worlwide. I LOVE METALLICA!!!!!!!!!!
They have the momentum, the power, the inexhaustible energy and the pure passion of a true metal band.
The sudden loss of Cliff Burton was very big and painful but the band continued the concerts energetically with more passion than ever and that's why this epic concert became. I think Metallica are for the Heavy Metal scene what the AC\DC are for Hard Rock scene.
And that's why they are already in the pantheon of the greatest bands worlwide.
Imagine how it felt for the band members to play for such a huge crowd. Must have been the biggest thrill ever.
James said in an interview that concert was Metallica's greatest ever.
Fuck yeah they say they feed off the energy of the crowd well that night they must have felt like a nuclear power plant one hell of a concert I wish I could have been there
Nah. After playing in Decatur, Illinois in 1986, no crowd of any size compares. And the Decatur crowd was less than 3k people. No tapes, no pictures, no set list. And the guys were hammered. I drank Vodka from a bottle passed by Cliff over a fence. We were all in Peoria, but that venue sucked.
Oh man I've always said it that playing live shows is the best rush I've ever got better than any drug I used to love it had a really good metal band in the 2000s I really miss it but it was no where near on the scale that show was they will probably never be that many people in one place at a show like that ever again, it must've been an absolutely out of this world experience🤘
ALL IN THEIR EARLY 20'S
I can’t believe pop artist in 2021 actually think of themselves as epic. Do they not see this 😍
They are stupid commercial not Epic
there are still some epic bands but nothing like the old days,the younger generations are 70% snowflake that like commercial bad music
@@johnkooy5327 see it's ironic because the only reason a band was able to draw 1.6 million people is because radio acted as the gatekeeper of music so there was only a select amount of artists in the mainstream eye, and all the sheep were told what to listen to. now we have the internet, so people's music taste is much more individual and specificly catered to what they like, therefore no artist will EVER be able to draw a crowd like that again.
Exactly!
Lol they are God's tho.......not🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣today gen of music couldn't amount to any of these bands shoelaces
My God my wife and I had kids in that concert now they are all in university...btw I'm still on that concert

Jesus, could you imagine what it must have been like for them to walk out on that stage? To see that many people cheering eagerly to see them perform? As an artist, that must have been the single greatest feeling in the world.
King of the Stream exactly. Performing onstage gives you a high like no drug would. And this high must have been so massive for them!
I was there at 13. They went apeshit for Motley crew too but Metallica still had the edge. James must of felt like an emperor of the world! 90% of the fuckers could barely speak English and only some knew what the lyrics meant from the bootleg tapes sold in shops they translated.
At the beggining you can even see some intimidation on Hetfield's face
Michael Airton Right on man. The exhilaration he must have been feeling is indescribable
King of the Stream I thought the same thing when I first started watching it. It gave me chills.
If I ever theoretically could travel to the past I would go to this
Somber Brandon that's why There's so many people. Half are time travellers. Next time you watch this the crowd will be at 2 mil +
I would go to their concert in Seattle 1989
If I could travel to the past I would put an ad in the Los Angeles Recycler Newspaper under James and Lars ad in the band section saying,

@@rubywal Just imagine, what was the greatest day in the lives of the 1.6 million people in the audience was probably one of worst days of Vladimir Putin's. I doubt anyone had cheered with such deep adoration about anything in the entire history of the Soviet Union and it had to kill him seeing it
@@rubywal You are so right, it's like their heads are stuck in 1915 where the rule of 'to whom the victor goes the spoils' is still a valid foreign policy position. I'm so glad to hear inside and outside of Russia there are people who see this abomination in Ukraine for what it is. I have hope after this despotic gerontocracy dies off we will be in a situation where it is safe for massive music festivals like this again. I used to watch what was perhaps Metallica's finest moment here in awe of profound happiness of the crowd but now it makes me sad for what could have been. It also makes me sad that a significant percentage of these concert goers in 1991 are likely zombified by propaganda today.
@@rubywal Of all the bad guys in the war in Ukraine, the separatists perhaps may be the worst of the bunch. Many of the organized, systematic atrocities have been committed by Ukrainians on Ukrainians and I fear that the genocidal acts which have already been found will be dwarfed by what will be discovered in the separatist regions, setting into motion a brutal civil war in Ukraine. Between this and the fact all the damage being inflicted on the rest of Ukraine is being done in the name of the Luhansk and Donbas rebels, I can easily imagine that in the aftermath of a Russian withdrawal, the Ukrainians will seek vengeance upon them if they regain control over the separatist regions.
I'm less worried about a civil war in Belarus since Lukashenko has long overstayed his welcome and by all appearances, is quite unpopular. Obviously you would know better than me but it would seem that if Lukashenko were to be overthrown, not too many people would be very upset about it. While it probably wouldn't go down without some drama, I can easily forsee a relatively smooth transition into democracy occurring through peaceful means. Russia on the other hand would likely experience great turmoil in a post Putin world. Unlike Lukashenko, his position in power is quite well solidified and is popular with large swaths of the country thanks to his decades long propaganda media campaign but of course it would all depend on the means through which he is removed. If he dies a natural death, that would be that and people will move on, if he resigns people would probably accept that as well (I don't see that happening though) but if he's overthrown through any other manner, I don't see him going down without a fight or in the worst case scenario, he launches a nuclear attack to bring the whole world down with him. I wish I could say this possibility is fantastically overblown but he seems rather casual about the idea of a nuclear war, he talks like he almost wants it to happen.
@@lgmx-peacekeeper3204 The abomination is the Nazis that have killed civilians there since 2014.

@@aasheeshpradeepbhai7202 I know, i saw it, it's amazing, but this is better because of the social context in that timy, besides, the song is one, or two seconds more fast than should be, because they are scare, but, with their scare they are playing no matter what. Is just outstanding.
Man! Jason Newsted gives fans everything he has onstage. An awesome bass player, backing vocals, as well. This was Metallica at their peak powers,.
I'm pretty sure nobody has ever rocked as hard as Newsted did starting at 1:21.
I mean, holy shit.... playing in a country he'd grown up being told was his enemy, and whose government and his were ready to annihilate each other only a few years earlier.... and now he's playing in front of a million of that country's people cheering for his band, as the world changes right in front of them? Hard to imagine a higher career peak than that. \m/
No thats 1986
Excadrill 57 I love the cliff burton era,but their peak was 1989-1993
Idk y u guys talking about Jason so much , he left end of story cliff was a lot better
@@chi-townconcerts3485 probably because jason was in the video dumbass
2024 I will still faithfully watch this concert.. and if time could be turned back to this year I would definitely be the happiest person..🖤🖤
Да !...
О да! Одно из самых мощных выступлений Металлики! Я был на этом концерте!
Круто!!))
В километре от сцены?
Я тоже и после этого улетел жить в Штаты
This guy so lucky
И мой муж там был, ему было 18. Сразу после путча, 91ый. Времечко было класс✌

2. James voice sounds great here.
3. Jason screaming die! Die! Die! During creeping death was sick!!!!
4..Jason's heabanging...
5. Jason's backing vocals
6. Jason's performance
Jason is a beast on stage......

Russia: Where will you be holding your concert at?
Metallica: The whole airfield
Jason B more like other way round
In Soviet Russia, country come to Metallica
Привет
Well, Metallica was just support for the band with the 21-gun-salut
ACDC has the 21 Salut Gun
Мне было 16 лет....поехали на концерт всей группой из училища около 20 чел.Это было нечто...Сейчас показываю сыну эту запись и говорю я там был.....сын в шоке(ему сейчас 15 лет)....😂
Мне самому сейчас 15, сейчас сижу завидую тем людям которые смогли туда попасть Pantera, Metallica, AC DC хотел бы туда попасть.
I don’t know what the hell you said but you are my hero! Eff the NWO!
@@КириллКононенко-с6о Мда,а я тебе завидую парень,мне 40 лет назад тоже было 15.
@@igor.966 , мне 49, ранний период нашей молодости мы прожили, сейчас там живут наши дети. У меня Дочка, ей чуть за 20, правда слушает не такую музыку как я тогда и сейчас. Меладзе и наподобие , она же девочка ей простительно ). Едем в автомобиле у меня всегда рок металл играет )
@@igor.966 Но жизнь то не заканчивается, а вы наверняка уже многое повидали, не то что я в свои 15.
Imagine having to step on the stage after these guys just performed
Then Pantera shows up and mops Metallica on the floor...
@@djdrjacob1655Pantera kicked off the concert dude. They fucking rocked too.
Imagine getting diarrhea and you're in the middle of that crowd.
That's one of the reasons why I do not go to the Wacken festival ..
You just shit and wipe with your shirt.
2r
Imagine the poor bastard standing an inch away from your ass!
Just shit in your pants... Everyone is having to much fun to notice.
Imagine the traffic once it ended
@@LolSpice who needs cars when you have free public transport? and didn´t*
@@zilet7844 "free"
GC 5 That’s worse lmfao
They walked
LoL no one had cars back then))
The best Metallica gig ever. And the operators' / the editors' work is great.
In my Opinion the best Concert of Pantera and AC/DC to. You can feel the Intensity of this endless Crowd 30 Years ago. You can see the Respekt in the Eyes of the Bandmembers and they switched it to raw Power.
Yes. Excellent filming. Excellent editing. You can really see the massive crowds and feel their excitement. Awesome.
EU ENTENDI QUE ERA UMA IRONIA.
Metallica is and will be the best metal band forever !!!
I saw them over 30 times live and it was always insane !
I wished I was there in Russia the power and passion there was and is unique !!!
Now I am 62 sitting most of the time in a wheelchair but headbanging still works 🤘🔥✊🔥🤘
The sound quality is almost like in studio. Outstanding lead guitar. Great drumming. The bass is tearing the soul out. Even Kirk was on fire.
Kirk is the lead guitar
@@13eastxpharoh94 kirk is...a guitar . .?😶
@@13eastxpharoh94 Oh wow! Since when?
only if you don't think about the st. anger studio.....
They had to be in their game..Pantera opened and Dimebag stole the show
Wow... JUST WOW! The Power, the Influence, the Presence, the Impact. the Skill. This international concert by Metallica means more than any political effort.... Hands down. Well Done!
Я согласен
Absolutely great performance!
З0 лет назад, когда я впервые услышал Металлику я сказал сам себе, что это великая группа.
И я не ошибся.
Только это группа может собрать столько любителей.
Вся Россия на ногах !!!
Потрясающе !!!
Ну вообще вы правы, но это фестиваль monsters of rock, где выступали еще и такие группы как AC/DC и Pantera
Quote all Russians are on its feet where are all these Russians today very curious
Freiheit und Energie !
@@hpflax9488россияне в поряде . Варвары ждут похода на гейропу
Hatfield Young, in his prime, his best years. He later admitted it was the best concert of his life. Pay attention to the voice, compared to studio recording, there is much more emotion. He was shocked. Such a large number of people, 1 600 000 have never gathered anywhere in their life. The concert is included in the Guinness Book of Records.
The Best band of world
Actually 1.6 million Russians have gathered in one place before. Ask Mr. Hitler.
Communism was collapsing and people had nothing better to do lol.
I totally agree, so much energy in this concert, crowd going crazy, wonderful
Vi
Был там и выжил :)) И это был прекрасно! Такое не забыть и через 30 лет.
охренеть ты старый...я понять не могу, в 91 году металлика и подобные группы были популярны в мёртвом совке?
@@Владимир_Питун Есть такое хехе. 1969 родился, но с 1983 и по сей день Accept, Manowar, Metallica!! В 86-м за пластинки чуть из института и из комсомола не выгнали, такие дела были.
@@Владимир_Питун Ты даже не представляешь как заблуждаешься про мёртвый совок и про то какие вкусы в музыке тогда были казалось у обыденных совковых слушателей! Я не говорю про уважаемых бабушек дедушек, но наши мамы и отцы хорошо разбирались в музыке и вкус у них был отличный! Говорю за своих, мама была завклубом в 70/80-х и там играли пластинки Led Zeppelin и Judas priest, другое дело как на это смотрели власти? да не Металлика или Чёрный шабаш, но.
Да, это было круто, была там )
@@Владимир_Питун выдумки это всё про "мертвый совок" у меня папа спокойно в 80-х фарцевал Iron maiden'om и Accept'ом

I Know That Moscow, Russia Was Amazed By This Day , Seeing "Metallica" Live. From Joey Alaniz From Houston, Texas De Magnolia Park Neighborhood And To All The Fans Around Here.Rock On Metallica !
The people who saw this concert are now old enough to be ruling the world. Let's all remember this sweet point of union between countries, and please ...don't blow up the world.
Wow! 1991. Hard to believe it’s been 30 years and still going strong. & Still sounds damn good!
This will never gets old one of the best
Is that a helicopter.... like 40 feet above the crowd? Holy shit!
As if the music wasn't load enough
Chorkaloopa Helicopters were required as mobile fans to cool this massive crowd down.. Epic!
Cause Russia...
No it’s a drone
Yup.. we are Russians.
We had this show on VHS and literally had it on repeat for months when I was about 12 years old.. This brings back so many memories!! 🤘🤘
Мальчики и девочки. Сегодня ровно 30 лет этому событию. Завидую каждому кто там был!
That's awesome 🤟
Плачу что я не попал туда.
HELL YEA!!! WAS BAD FUCKING ASS!
Круто было, благ живи остались, кто то бутылки спереди назад кидал)))
Я там была, причем метрах в пяти от сцены. Сама себе завидую.
