Metallica: Harvester of Sorrow (Donington, England - August 17, 1991) 

and an amazing album as well

92 was good for performances too until James' voice started to go to hell

Exactly, but 1992, 1993, 1994 were also great. 1995 was a big change, but still great. 1996 - another big change, but still pretty good. 1997 nothing like 1991, but still very good. And so on....

I still think 86' (last year with Cliff alive) and then 88'-89' (Justice Tour years) were the best, I like The Black Album and think for almost any other band would be one of their best but for Metallica and all their Greatness it just wasn't nearly as good as their first 4 albums IMO

matured

what?

​@@SunjuhTribalcause he is too metal. Thats a joke

And its true

@@karolantkowiak5400 thank you Karol I did figure that out after looking it up I don't know what I have found it wasn't like an explanation but it made it obvious as to the meaning

@@karolantkowiak5400 one of my favorite bands

Seattle 1989 was better

Mexico City ‘93 was absolutely King Harvester

Yeahh, Jason era la gresividad de Metallica

I saw that. Fucking awesome. Back in May I took my fiance to her first Judas Priest show. It was in Biloxi. Whole show I was headbanging my ass off. Hair flyin everywhere. I'm in the zone and she grabs me and yells "LOOK!" I was on the jumbotron. She said they had me on there for about 5 minutes going nuts. She has it on her phone. She said she didn't tell me sooner because I was into it. I saw it on her phone and everyone else on their phones not doing shit was like "FUCK" LOL. So yeah...fucking kudos to thst lone headbanger.

Kevin Scarborough good on you. Too many statues at concerts. Must be hard for the bands even like Priest , Metallica and Maiden. I wish people would enjoy the show and take in the moment they paid to see. Then buy the DVD or watch on the band RU-vid channel.

@@thomasskeffington4539 bigger the band, less headbangers, not always the case, but quite often.

@@kevinscarborough9982 haha! Thats so funny!

I remember like 15 yrs ago I was at a bar and there was this rock cover band playing live music. I headbanged my fucking brains out the entire show. Also jumping around and doing some solo power walking. I was having the time of my life. But no one else was doing shit! I think I was the normal one there. Anyway, after the show, I was exhausted, sweaty and smelled like sewer when the drummer came to me and thanked me for doing all that aforementioned stuff. We both laughed and had a drink together. Fun times! You just dont stand at a rock concert!

A Lion, you mean 🦁 😂

Shame they took the piss out of him

+Jan Solo, That ain't Thor, that's the Cowardly Lion.

Wow!! Roflmmfaolamf

Looks more like the lion feom Wizard Of Ozz

Looks more like durotan of warcraft 😂❤️

Isn't that Zakk Wylde ?

lol

@@soysoy4495 soy boy Jack Sparrow couldn't front this band

*Captain Jack Sparrow

And Jesus on drums

Abd Satan himself had bass in his hands

A lot of energy missing nowadays...and the backing vocals best fit for james'

Yeah.....great bass player.....🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

Jason IS St Anger!

What happen to the bassist? Now different person

Rob is AWESOME aswell!!!!

So heavy!

Indeed! Marked my existence!! And i believe many more!

Sorry to sound pedantic but did you mean 'on the planet'

That's why he left Metallica...

Cliff banged just as hard. Rip

Almost like their the same person

@@gamecrafter222 weird isn't it

Minecrafter202 Yeah almost they might even be related in some way

Or maybe 2019 James sounded like young James? 😮

@@gamecrafter222 what the fuu

I noticed that too...🤣

Morgoth PT he was saying it in some Irish accent I believe

I was dying when I've heard it

lmao

@@metalmax930 I think it's more the word-chewing that was starting to take over his voice at this time-AH!

Iosif Pateroulhs dafuq!🤣🤣🤣🤣

Jack Sparrow 🤣

Jason is satan

Neckbreacker Sketit exactly

Lars grew the beard sometimes in 1993 then he was Jesucrist

@@Greenmanalishe1 go watch "Harvester of Sorrow Live (Moscow 1991)" and you shall see

Demonia Negro James voice was godly at that point, Jason was a fucking beast, Lars used to put his 150% into every song and sounded insanely good. Overall their live perfomances at the time were just insane. Metallica at their prime no questions asked.

and kirk was alright, this is when he started to mess up

The live shows were actually difficult to process as a non-desensitized 14-year old. Too incredible to grasp, like wtf am i even experiencing.

@@Greenmanalishe1 They were more powerful and aggressive than any other band, they had pure energy.

Amen to that. Stay safe, brother, I hope for all the best for you.

At 1:48 first LOL

I love when people point out all remaining vestiges of the almighty Justice Jaymz voice!!

Spot on.

James voice started sound worse at The begining of 92

He sounds better here than Seattle 1989. And he is a better singer now than he was back then. More variety in his vocal techniques. But as far as James sounding like he did then. It's just a different voice even when he does the original distortion.

Yeah the vocals here are insane. The rest of it kind of sounds a mess to me, but as soon as the vocals kick in, it's like "Holy shit". I liked the vocals at the Freddie Mercury tribute 9 months after this too.

12 year old with a moustache

Puberty gets to everybody

The greatest band ever Metallica

Másto Trawle that’s ringo star

No

His brother Frey pounds the bass

Right

Unison headbanging? Slipknot give u that

First time ?

HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA

I don’t get it

Neither can i

can you say it to me i cant read

"are you having a good time?" is THE NUMBER ONE cliche and MOST MORONIC WORDS ever uttered on a stage by any performer. That's why most of them utter this IDIOT cliche: they are not smart. It always kills me when Hetfield goes 100% moron. (I only liked the ARTSY Metallica that smashed cliches, on Master Of Puppets and Ride The LIghtning. I think Cliff was the cliche police in the band.)

Hey, I even copy his trademark hairstyle, despite playing guitar - and not bass -, and despite being a gal :Đ I think this says something :Đ

Huh? They used to have a dude named Cliff. He was pretty good too... 🙄

Jason had this energy, but yeah Cliff the best

Great Showmen, lots of Energy, always giving 100% on Stage

@@evilarchy1984 He said Jason was his number one bassist. Jason was with Met at their absolute live and commercial peak. Especially for fans who were introduced to the band through the Black Album, he *is* the Metallica bassist.

HellraiserDE thor

Me too Best time and best tour: 91-93

Juan Rezende the entire Damaged Justice tour. Need to include the amazing performances in 89.

Love this era too, but their live performance peaked at 96-00 if im totally honest.

I'm not a diehard fan but you are correct....he is a great example of singer/guitarists along with Dave Mustaine....ain't no denying where we come from dude...awesomeness !!!!

cliff

@@Daniel-hr7rp check Seattle 89’s Blackened. Jason looks like fukin helicopter

Corpsegrinder might have something to say about that

Gary Holt

Cliff and the guy at 6:00

It got worse by the end of the song.

floyd rose 24.75 scale Les Paul... obviously that shit would go out of tune and maybe james used 10-46, he now uses 11-48 cuz 10's would go out of tune with his hands

Kirk's guitar wasn't a Gibson Les Paul, it's an ESP Kirk Hammett KH-3 Spider. It's equipped with a German-made Floyd Rose Original. It wouldn't go out of tune so easily. And Kirk was never that hard on the bar either so...

I imagine it's just a failure on the guitar techs part.

Thomas Parker most likely

Thank you

@@WillStLeger-kt6op omg jason is that you?

@@BlakeSpohn No, is Elvis Presley.....

And how did you come to that conclusion?

From seeing them play it live with Jason and live with Rob. Jason takes a monster shit all over Rob in every possible way.

@@pgrove My juxaposition was between Cliff Burton and Newsted!

+Phrygian Dominant Cliff never played this btw

@@SOLDOZER Eeeeeh, and justice for all? Black album? Some load and reload songs?

Ral Lopez did he and Jason used to spit at the same time? Lol I'm sorry I just don't get what you mean. Btw I love Rob but I think Jason leaving SUCKS!

he's a man's man, he doesn't spit!!

I think what they were implying is that James used to spit on Lars every time he fucked up on drums and Lars fucked up there and James didn’t spit

No, listen to Mexico 1993, James spit then.

@@poliszslaw5499 precisely, regarding the live shit binge and purge harvester of sorrow in Mexico city '93 when they paused the song for a moment and James spat before continuing

lol wtf could swear it was!! haha

you're right

lmao, garbage opinion

Lol Rob got mad when I said Jason was better

Maybe Cliff...

And honestly, Jason was very technically proficient as well. Don't sleep on that!

Live Shit - - Binged that box set DAILY! 🤘

I like Seattle 89 alot but imo this is a good bit better than Seattle 89 its like mixing Seattle 89 and Moscow 91 james

imposter

Or is he? haven't seen y for some time🤔

No Satan

james imitating kirk

Giorgio Fenrir no offense, but it’s been 18 years. Get over it.

No, no, no... Weakest bassist of the 3

@@yourfriendlyneighbourhoods8202 and cliff 33 years. Get over it

javier i. l. h. Oh believe me I am

I'm really not dead

That is all true except it wasnt really hets fault, more lars fault

@@ashhrefhkookncswejjbdeuknv4956 stop blaming Lars for everything christ

Heavy Headbanging

That was the best show ever.

lol same here

It was so epic, it crippled the Soviet Union. After Metallica left the stage all the others bands, were like how the fk are we going to top that performance?

@@viking6535 hmmm, pantera´s performance at moscow also kicked a lot of ass especially in ''domination''

30 now. Sheesh

Damn. You had a real good treat seeing four bands in one night. Black Crowes, Motley Crue, Metallica, and AC/DC to top it all off

@@DKrueger1994 Actually there were FIVE bands: Queensryche came after Black Crowes and before Motley Crue. The concert started 2.30pm and ended 8 hours later.

Wow lucky you man!

Me too. It was my first real gig, and I decided to go hard!

yup, i think only metallica can make metal sound beautiful to general (ppl who likes poop and shitty songs) because other metal bands are so fast. they're pure thrash, but not melodic like metallica.

@@kiranbuzza ok ty for the advice. not only metallica can make metal sound beautiful. correction: metallica is one of the bands that can make thrash sounds good for those pop and rap listeners.

That's what excessive touring and alcohol abuse does to someone, though his voice is getting better finally.

Pretty sure that Les Paul Kirk is using is the perpetrator

Floyd Pose is to blame probably.

It's always Kirk.

bambino100011 just bad audio

RED BALLS73 I didn’t say it wasn’t awesome, I think the guitars were slightly out of tune... if look look at the other comments, some other people mentioned it as well.

JazzMan metallica Forever

1981-1993

83-96

Seattle 1989 Metallica was the greatest concert of all time and no one can convince me otherwise lol. James voice was at its absolute peak.

@@TThatsWhatSheSaid1 TRue

Filmore 2011 probably.

@@caelmcleish1212 I think that is the first and only full performance of that song...

Daniel Rivera they will hopefully do a new live performance of it to celebrate 30 years of AJFA

The '89 jam which was followed by Master of Puppets is one of the greatest moments in Metal history

Cael McLeish don’t get me wrong, Metallica is my favorite band, but they kinda butchered it at the time, probably because they were playing a bunch of other obscure songs that week too. They need to do that song justice (no pun intended) and play it right. To me preferably, they tune their guitars to how they sounded prior to 1996 and James plays his own solo in TLITD. I’m happy with what we’ll get though

:D

Shame that he missed half the fills

@@Grimnirs_Oath ı agree.He is so lazy.

@@Grimnirs_Oath you mean now? Cause in this vid he made all but the ending ones🤔

not even close

Good on guitar thou just don't look at him look for witches in the crowd😂

Wonder what you look like

Holy hell i never noticed that before!!

Yeah, the pigtailed crabman doesn't cut it.

Derek Miller, With all due respects paid to you- I love and respect Metallica madly, but to presume they bring that energy that they did in the late 80’s early 90’s is simply false. Those vocals (as in those days) you will never hear it again..That’s coming from a man that has James Hetfield as his favorite musician (of ANY) genre. Over the top light shows and fireworks help with their presentation today, but from a lifelong fan that was fucking there in those days and last August - it’s a profound difference. Again, I’m not hating on them- I love them..but they are not the level that they once were man.

It was uncomfortable to play. Too many rack toms forced him to put the hi hat wayyy to the left, so he removed some so that he could play with the hi hat in a more conventional position. This happened before the "Shit hits the shed" tour in 94 when they were still playing a set that was similar to the black album tour, but with 1 or 2 new ones from Load/ReLoad in the set as well. That was the last time they played in concert pitch.

He was also inspired by Dave Grohl to downsize his drum kit. Plus he also mentioned that the Ride Cymbal was in an uncomfortable position when he had the four mounted toms.

James never abstained from drugs. Various press releases from the band State his numerous stints in rehab for alcohol and other substances.

We all do

The golddn age.

88 yo 92

Gilles S holy crap it does

Because he had all the tools he needed to sound like that back then. Now hes lacking the tools to sound how he did back then.

There's parts of james current vocal technique scattered all over the performance.

5:30 - 5:39 is closer to james's current throat shape, but with more rasp.
