It was a Monster's of Rock concert. The first rock concert in Moscow.....and it was free. AC/DC and Pantera were there too. They stopped counting at 1,600,000 people. The military was security and the helicopters were to help cool off the crowd!! Totally EPIC!!!🎶🎼🎵🥁🎤🎸🎧🎙🤘🤘🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

OH MY GOSH I’M DYING HERE🤣🤣🤣🤣 YOURS is my most favorite reaction to this video! It really is kinda jarring with the pyrotechnical eruptions on both sides of the stage huh? Kidding aside these guys had it ALL going on back in the day! They were heavy metal GODS in my opinion. Loved them then and I love them now! At 62, I’d much rather listen to music most of the day whether I’m cleaning house or working in the yard. Hardly a day goes by that there’s not music playing around my house. Keeps me focused I guess and I promise I’m not bragging but I have a beautiful yard, beautiful flower garden and my husband (who’s also a music lover) has a very impressive vegetable garden. Music is the universal language of love and I absolutely LOVE watching younger generations react to and discover the best music on the planet! Can’t beat the music from the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s and a little bit of the 90’s‼️✌🏻Oh yeah, ya gotta check out AC/DC Thunderstruck Live at River Plate AND Phil Collins In The Air Tonight live in Paris (from either 2004 or 2009, can’t remember), if u haven’t already, 😂u won’t be disappointed! AT ALL‼️In fact, ya might wanna invest in some Depends because, well, just because! You’ll figure out why, especially the Phil Collins one

Perfect song and group to start your intro into rock or metal. There is many to look at in the Metallica catalog. You now realise the hype of a live concert is like. Cant do them nowadays, as everyone can't put down their phones and just watch the band. They wanna film everything and just ruin the vibe for everyone.
