Between 1 million to 1.5 is the estimate but I don't know. This is when they finally dropped the iron curtain in Russia so people could finally have democracy and do what they wanted. There had never really seen any worthwhile concerts from any artists from America so we decided to give a free concert over there. Metallica, ACDC, Pantera and the Black Crowes were all there. Now this was a real concert the kids wanted, not all that glam crap! Imagine if you were young and had heard about the great rock and metal from America, the UK, etc. probably had heard some of it bootleg. Wouldn't you want to go to a free concert? So yes sir this is all real, no cgi just the real thing.
They only estimated 1 million because it was really impossible to tell just how many people were there. Some people have analyzed the footage and figure it's only around 500,000... others think it is probably closer to 1.5 million, as the crowd apparently extended behind the stage almost as far out as in front. This concert likely would be holding a world record for biggest concert ever had it happened in an environment where they could properly estimate how many people were there. But this was Russia, post Soviet Union, and it was complete chaos. There are stories of the military personnel you see in the video getting so caught-up in the concert that they stripped off their uniforms and joined the crowd. Over 50 people died at this concert as well.
There was actually another similar concert a couple years before this (1988??) in one of the stadiums in Moscow with a bunch of popular western rock/metal artists as well BEFORE the fall of the USSR. Ozzy, Bon Jovi, Skid Row, etc... it was also EPIC but the sound quality of the recording was/is lousy

@@metallicafan416 Bob Rock. He produced the black album, load and reloaded. Notice how those albums had a softer radio friendly sound? Producer. Rick Rubin replaced Bob Rock after reloaded and it shows as well.
They cut it like that at the end cause they immediately go into "Creeping Death" which is another awesome vid from this concert that you should react to. It's goooood!!!!!!!!
Metal Mellie creeping death was how, as a young Pentecostal kid, I justified listening to them. Because, how could it be bad; it’s the Passover story. Now looking back as a 47 year old non believer I think, the Passover story made it ok?! The Passover story is horrific. LOL. It’s just funny how we justify some things in our minds.
The intro song is called "The Ecstasy of Gold". It was composed by Ennio Morricone for the Clint Eastwood spaghetti western movie "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly". Metallica has used this song as their intro music for decades now. I've seen Metallica three times and every time I hear "The Ecstasy of Gold" start to play I get goosebumps!! If you liked "Enter Sandman" from Moscow 1991 you should watch the video for "Creeping Death" from the same concert! I can only imagine being surrounded by 1.6 million people all chanting "DIE! DIE! DIE!" in unison!
Daniel Rupp The ecstasy of gold is in that movie but originally composed by Ennio Morricone and Metallica opens every show with it right before they come out :)
@@met.coasters3562 composed by Morricone for western movie from 60s. Morricone is one of greatest composers of 20th century, write and compose for over 400 movies, tv series, documents and orchestra...
I love how every reactor who isn't into rock/metal, then hits this concert, or Master of Puppets is "Holy shit! Now I GET IT you guys, you were right!"
Been a Metallica fan for 30 years now, and just seeing how blown away you are, reminds me of my own feelings each time I listen to them. And being at a concert is REALLY mindblowing. Those guys are real artists, composers, writers, performers!!! Great of you to have taken the time to see what they're all about. Indeed that period's metal is the real deal. They will join Mozart, Beethoven, etc up there.
What was really cool about this concert is that there were a bunch of soldiers that were supposed to keep the peace, but if you notice, many of the soldiers just decided it was impossible to control the crowd anyway, and joined the crowd in rocking.
1991 This was the first ever metal concert in Russia. 1.6 million people! I was in the Army at the time serving in Europe and this sorta thing was going on all the time. Good times.
@Nadji Ryad I wrote is not the only one ( Rod Stewart ) to reach that number, hopefully you can read if you can write. Anyway this concerts were for free! The most attended paying ticket-holders is italian rocker Vasco Rossi, 220000 paid tickets.
Kirk came up with that classic riff. James wrote the lyrics. The sample in the beginning is called ”Ectasy of Gold” and is from the movie ”The Good, The Bad, The Ugly”. React to Creeping Death from the same concert.
D'yer Care Music legend Rod Stewart holds the current world record for the biggest gig of all time in 1994, he performed on Copacabana Beach to to 3.5 million people celebrating New Year's Eve.
@@cafr399 ,Im aware of that gathering, but its not the same thing. 3.5 million people didnt gather, just because Rod Stewart had a concert. It was new years eve, people gather every year and it just so happened that Stewart was a featured act at the occasion. For example, , key west ,fl has 24,000 residents. On new years eve, 120,000 people gather to celebrate new years. They often have live music. Lets say band XYZ was the featured band. Well yeah, 120,000 people were there when xyz performed, but it wasnt the reason for the gathering. When Metallica played, there was no other event nor reason for people to be gathering. Huge difference.
D'yer Care Yes, you are correct, and the 1.6 million people weren’t just there for Metallica. AC/DC, KISS, Van Halen, Judas Priest, Motörhead, Cinderella, Ozzy Osbourne, Bon Jovi, Cheap Trick, Mötley Crüe, Ratt, Dio, Y&T, Guns N' Roses, Slayer and Poison, were also performing at the concert.
@@cafr399 how stupid and/or young are you? The 3 biggest bands that played in that famous Monsters of Rock show in Moscow, 1991 was AC/AC ,METALLICA, PANTARA, BLACK CROWS and E.T.P...

@Francis Sailo , yeah man.Did you read all his posts? Lmao... Hes so clueless, I think the reason he didn't reply was because he forgot what his computer and keyboard looks like..hehe
"creeping death"from this concert is probably the best live song ever.i it is so powerful that i have to force myself to chill after listening.great band!rock on!
The song in the beginning that Jay-Z also used for a sample is originally from the soundtrack for "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly" a legendary western starring Clint Eastwood. The song was composed by Enio Morricone.
Can you imagine being there? I think the energy that all the people gave for this concert is amazing. The audience is hyped already and when they started to play omg!! Its amazing just to watch this video.
I connect this event to the song "the sound of silence." Because the Russian revolution took place and the communist government fell to the people. In communist Russia hard rock was outlawed. When the people decided what they want for the celebration they picked a massive hard rock concert. It was the end of the silence and the beginning of freedom.
I just discovered these reaction videos. I was introduced to hip hop in the 90’s. Blew my mind. I’m so grateful for that introduction. But seeing a 1st reaction to amazing music period . I’m loving it.
At least 500.000 were there. Some say over 1,500,000 the largest crowd that ever existed for a concert. Some kids had died fighting the soviets not long before in moscow...
This concert was held at an air field and was a free concert sponsored by Time Warner soon after the fall of the Soviets. Heres a short clip on James Hetfield talking about the experience of this concert and the background of it on a Joe rogans podcast-> ruclips.net/video/qmSgl4mwZ4Q/видео.html
youre going to love allot of that old school metal. especially earlier albums by metallica. i can guarantee you will be head banging and flailing of the arms. rock on man.
You picked an awesome song to start your Metallica journey with... This is one of the few times where the live version of a song compares to studio. Loved your reaction, Cheese!
1.6 Million people....and this is 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.
The total attendance for the concert is estimated at 1.6 million, although the "official" tally varies and it's likely that not that many were there all at once. It was a free, daylong event that also featured AC/DC, Pantera, and Black Crowes.
Brother, I’m an old head alright, 50. Bought Metallica’s first album, Kill ‘em All when it was released in 1983. I was 13. Check out PANTERA, DOMINATION at this exact show. Then step up to Jinjer, Who Is Gonna Be The One, for metal with ferocious bars unlike you’ve ever heard...
"Ecstasy of gold" is the intro classic by Ennio Morricone featured as OST in the movie "The good, the bad and they ugly",and Metallica owns the right to play to start their gig.
Nice reaction mate. New to your channel and just about to subscribe. Prob been mention in comments previously but attendance is estimated at 1.6 million so you’re only 1.4 million out. Russian military stopped counting after letting 800k through the gates and stated their were still the same amount queuing outside still. Unfortunately 12 people died during the day. The intro is (that Jay Z sampled) what they always walk on to. It’s from the good the bad and the ugly film (1965 or 66) enter sandman was written by James Hetfield the lead singer. If you enjoyed this then you really need to listen to Master of puppets (all about drug addiction) and One which has one of the saddest music videos of all time. Both amazing Metallica tracks. Great job man. Can’t wait to hear more
This concert was called “The monster of Rock” several huge bands played that night including AC/DC and other big name rock bands from the 80’s. This was the first time that American rock was allowed in Russia. Before that only boot tapes would be the only way to listen to this type of music in Russia. Estimate was 1.6 million people showed up to this concert. It was the beginning of the “Iron Curtan of the old USSR”
That music festival was the first of its kind in Russia. It was only a year and a half after the Berlin Wall came down. This was the first time Russians were able to hear American bands live. Also, the members of Metallica wrote and composed that song and every song they play, except for a few that they covered, like Stone Cold Crazy, which was originally written and performed by Queen.
My husband introduced me to Metallica with song( which I love), then had me listen to One by Metallica. One is heavy with a deep and sad message. If you listen watch a lyric video before you watch official video so you will understand what is going on in official video. Great reaction, great song. Stay safe and thank you for what you are doing! Prayers for you and your coworkers ❤️
The main riff of this song was written by the lead guitar player Kirk Hammet, most of the arrangement and other parts were done by the singer and the drummer...
I just found your channel. Wonderful reaction! You seem to really get it. Your comments were all spot on. Metalica is amazing and Sandman is one of my all time fav songs. If you want to see a rock band mesmerize a crowd in my opinion even more than this epic video, watch RUSH perform YYZ (Live) in Rio. Just a suggestion, but you will not regret it. Should be great for your channel. Peace.

It always amazes me how these 4 men make all that sound!!
Brother, I’m an old head alright, 50. Bought Metallica’s first album, Kill ‘em All when it was released in 1983. I was 13. Check out PANTERA, DOMINATION at this exact show. Then step up to Jinjer, Who Is Gonna Be The One, for metal with ferocious bars unlike you’ve ever heard...
"Ecstasy of gold" is the intro classic by Ennio Morricone featured as OST in the movie "The good, the bad and they ugly",and Metallica owns the right to play to start their gig.
There was over 1,000,000 people there.....20,000 military personnel
Nice reaction mate. New to your channel and just about to subscribe. Prob been mention in comments previously but attendance is estimated at 1.6 million so you’re only 1.4 million out. Russian military stopped counting after letting 800k through the gates and stated their were still the same amount queuing outside still. Unfortunately 12 people died during the day. The intro is (that Jay Z sampled) what they always walk on to. It’s from the good the bad and the ugly film (1965 or 66) enter sandman was written by James Hetfield the lead singer.
If you enjoyed this then you really need to listen to Master of puppets (all about drug addiction) and One which has one of the saddest music videos of all time. Both amazing Metallica tracks. Great job man. Can’t wait to hear more
HELL NO THAT AINT NO CGI THATS 1.6 MILLION PEOPLE
1.6 million!!!!!!!!!!! Now that’s a fricking show
There was an estimated between 1.2 million and 1.6 million fans in attendance. It was a free show. Tushino airfield.
Absolutely Agreeable indeed.!!!
This is from a concert in 1991. 29 years ago!
RAPPERS ALWAYS SAY THEY SELL OUT STADIUMS 🏟, MATALICA SAYS THATS NICE 👍 WE SOLD OUT A COUNTRY. LOL 😂
This is the song Virginia Tech football team rolls into their stadium. The fans go absolutely crazy...
He plays the drums with two feet which is why you hear those smooth transitions.
This concert was called “The monster of Rock” several huge bands played that night including AC/DC and other big name rock bands from the 80’s. This was the first time that American rock was allowed in Russia. Before that only boot tapes would be the only way to listen to this type of music in Russia. Estimate was 1.6 million people showed up to this concert. It was the beginning of the “Iron Curtan of the old USSR”
Of the end
If I remember correctly the report was 1.6 million people were at this concert on a Russian airforce base
There were over 200 rapes and 11 murders during this show. The bands didn't hear about it until a week later.
That music festival was the first of its kind in Russia. It was only a year and a half after the Berlin Wall came down. This was the first time Russians were able to hear American bands live. Also, the members of Metallica wrote and composed that song and every song they play, except for a few that they covered, like Stone Cold Crazy, which was originally written and performed by Queen.
I WAS 20 YRS OLD AND ITS REAL WE DID NOT HAVE CGI AT THAT TIME
My husband introduced me to Metallica with song( which I love), then had me listen to One by Metallica. One is heavy with a deep and sad message. If you listen watch a lyric video before you watch official video so you will understand what is going on in official video. Great reaction, great song. Stay safe and thank you for what you are doing! Prayers for you and your coworkers ❤️
The opening vocalization is from Ennio Morricone's Ecstasy of Gold, from The Good, The Bad and The Ugly a 'spaghetti Western' starring Clint Eastwood.
Yes, explore old-school stuff. Off the top of my head, "Train Kept a Rollin" by Aerosmith. There's so much to discover, of any genre
The main riff of this song was written by the lead guitar player Kirk Hammet, most of the arrangement and other parts were done by the singer and the drummer...
I remember lead singer James Hetfield said on a radio show it was about 500000 fans they played in front of in Moscow.
1.6 million estimated over 3 days. A free show at a military airbase
I just found your channel. Wonderful reaction! You seem to really get it. Your comments were all spot on. Metalica is amazing and Sandman is one of my all time fav songs. If you want to see a rock band mesmerize a crowd in my opinion even more than this epic video, watch RUSH perform YYZ (Live) in Rio. Just a suggestion, but you will not regret it. Should be great for your channel. Peace.
