Quite possibly the biggest concert in history in many aspects not just size ad this was the first concert in Russia after the fall of the soviet union. This was their first true experience of western culture in its raw form commercially. Probably my favorite live performance period
@@joseesparza7488 dude, I literally Googled "world's biggest concert crowd". According to Wikipedia, 4th was Jean-Michel Jarre (me neither) on Bastille Day 1990 in Paris - 2.5 million; 3rd was Jorge Ben Jor on NYE 1993 in Rio - 3 mil; 2nd was Rod Stewart, NYE 1994 in Rio (same venue - Copacobana Beach); 1st was Jean-Michel Jarre (again), at Moscow University on 6th Sep 1997 for the 850th Anniversary of Moscow. Both those last 2 were just listed as more than 3.5 mil. Each. Moscow Uni must be fvcking huge, because that's nearly half the entire population of Moscow at the time.
This is the 1991 Monsters of Rock Tour in Moscow. They expected near 500k, but about one million more people showed up and couldn't be kept out. They estimated the attendance to be near 1.5 million. I've been to two large concerts with both having near 350k people at...this one is huge compared to those two. The original members are all near my age (60 yrs). I saw them in '83 in SF, and later that year I bought their first album when I saw it....while looking in a Berkeley record shop, for the FANG album; Landshark.
@@AdamM0 Thank you...I didn't recall correctly what I had read a long time ago. I believe it was "they expected near 500k...but more than that showed up." I edited that statement.
I happened to be in the US Embassy 3 miles away from this concert. 1991 Monsters of Rock was a free concert put on by the Russian government. They estimated 1.6 million in attendance but actually more like 2 mill. Those structures you can see out in the crowd are actually speaker towers. Even 3 miles away, we were rockin' along at 90+db inside the Embassy. 😁🤘
This is one of the most iconic performances of the ages. The timing of it, around the time of the coup and the downfall of the Soviet Union, the million+ people in the crowd going crazy, that's over 70 years of pent up angst & they all finally got to let it out. I was still pretty young, but I'll never forget that time and this show was such a perfect symbol for the times. As always, great reaction. Keep 'em coming.
I like the song. I just fund it subpar. They have many other subpar songs. Like the whole St. Anger fiasco. But The Thing That Should Not Be? The absolute worst! Escape was better even lol!
Don't care how many times you've played live or to how many, it must have been hair raising and spine tingling to have that wall of sound and energy from a crowd that vast.
@AileenSenpai, Anything from "Seattle Live 89" Probably one of the best Concerts. Master of Puppets fr Seattle 89 has so much Power and Aggression. Live Metallica, it never disappoints 🤘
One In Seattle 89, especially the final breakdown with the strobe lights is easily my favourite Metallica performance, alongside Creeping Death live in Moscow’91
Hell yeahhhhhh. Old school classic thrash Metallica. Way back in the day. Old school Metallica is the best. My favorite. . CRANK IT UP LOUD. HORNS UP 🤘 🤘 🤘 🤘 🤘 🤘 🤘 🤘 🤘 🤘 🤘 🤘 🤘 🤘 🤘 🤘 🤘 🤘 🤘 🤘 🤘 🤘
In particular the intro into Blackened is unreal in that concert. Honestly anything off live shit binge n purge is gonna be great. Even the 92' san diego show is epic, literally just 3+ hours of Metallica, and most of the footage is from the show where they didn't have an opener. Just crazy, you would never see a band fill an arena today without bringing any supporting acts.
@@aaronpatterson2369 Toss yourself off a bridge aaron. He said it was HIS favorite song of theirs not "The best Metallica song ever" if you dont like other peoples opinions or tastes GTFOH and STFU you little roach.
epic song that starts with a BANG!!! great show, wish i was there. lol young, time to watch some kill em all vids from shows. best would be from cliff em all!!
Saw them on the Monsters of Rock tour when they played second out of 5 bands. Jason Newsted threw water in my face (per my request -- it was 95 degrees). Their opening music here, they've used since the 80s.
Yeah, it was fun. I lost my friends there which i was coming to the show with but i found my friends from my home building where i was living. Great memories!
I don't know if you know that last spring, during the tour in Brazil, James stopped the song while performing Fade to Black and said how hard it was for him and how bad thoughts were poisoning his mind. The rest of the band hugged him on stage and continued the concert. This event changed the song. Watch her perform it today and be sure to type Metallica: Fade to Black (Lisbon, Portugal - July 8, 2022). This moment is 3:12. Hetfield is the most authentic artist in the world.
Great - an excellent review of the 3rd best Metallica track (Number one is One , number two is "0 Else Matters") For our Russian friends (they are not all part of the regime), I just loved one of your first comments. Ха-ха, до кучи (грузовиков) людей Google translated "FxxxLoad" gently, so I put "TruckLoad" in () to hint at it.
I saw 3 shows from this tour in the northeast at 18 or 19 years old and it was absofuckinglutly amazing!!!! This show will never be topped ever for concert attendance 1.6 million
I could watch this a thousand times and never get bored, this concert literally brought the world together, almost every nation where metal heads lived flocked to this event! 1.6 million people losing their minds is something you can never forget once you see it, so pissed i was only a year old when this was going on.
I saw Metallica too in 2017. Best concert I’ve ever seen!!!! Got to see them again on their upcoming tour…. Love all your “rocking “ reactions Aileen….. keep smiling 🙂 😊😊😊😊…
You mentioned them looking young, but this was close to a decade into their career (8 years after their first album released). The ones I'm most familiar are any that were on the Cliff 'em All VHS, most of which seems available on youtube. 'For Whom The Bell Tolls' from Day on the Green (they were writing the Master of Puppets album at the time) is my favourite, but I blieve that whole 40 minute concert is on youtube.
Great reaction. You should listen to BATTERY from the Seattle 89 Live. That whole concert is Epic. This concert is Pre-Black album. Thank you HAVE A GREAT DAY!
If you didn't grow up in this time period (I was in High School when this concert happened) it can be difficult to understand what this, the crowd's energy and size was all about. This was the Monsters of Rock concert that was organized after the fall of the Berlin wall, and collapse of the Soviet Union. Western albums for these groups had been black market for decades and the people of the former Soviet Union finally saw that change. It was a crazy period of hope after what we thought was the end of the cold war, and this was just one of those iconic moments of the energy of that period. Again, it is just hard to understand unless you were around in the time period before and during all these events. It was an amazing period at that time. Sadly, I rarely see reactions to this video/concert, that even mention what exactly led to this moment/concert but it is important to have that context to truly appreciate it.
Another music video with historic importance: Wham! - Freedom (Official Video). Wham was the first Western pop band to perform in China, as depicted in this video from 1985.
7:18 I Still Have 1 Of Those ‘Lime Green Snake’ Guitar Picks James Has On His Mic Stand!!James Threw Out A Bunch Into The Audience At The Pittsburgh, PA Show During This Same Tour!! I Snagged 1 In The 2nd Row…Rock On🤘🏻!!😊
AileenSenpai - you make me so happy reacting to Metallica, I've been watching your channel for two days and I really like your reactions. But you know what? Can't you just leave us and not tell us what year you attended a Metallica concert?
After seeing your enthusiastic face, I think you need once in a lifetime to go to a metallica concert. You will have an unforgettable experience of a lifetime watching the rock band legends
Oh, Great Reaction Miss You must be check it out THE METAL HIJAB also They Called VOB (VOICE OF BACEPROT) They from Indonesia They Have metal music cover 1. ENTER Sandman (Metallica) 2. Killing In The Name (RAGE Againt The Machine) 3. Sabotage (Beastie Boys)
Awesome there young lady, what an insane scene! The only concert that I know that has a similar sized crowd is the Rolling Stones on Copacabana Beach, that atmosphere was less insane but a huge amazing party, worth checking out, even the Stones were impressed by the crowd which stretches over a mile on that beach. Thanks for more great music and take care of yourself, This retired hippie sure does! Time for some good, legal weed. Enjoy. 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶
First time on your channel and love your content and appreciation of music. On a side note, based on your last name I thought you were of Japanese descent and then I see your necklace, if I am not mistaken, "CHINGONA" LOL Love it!!!!!
Aileen, please react to "Nobody's Fool" by Cinderella Live from Moscow in 1989...❤️❤️ Tom Keifer is INSANE.. and does an INCREDIBLE guitar solo at the beginning....❤️❤️
