That was me and my daughter and it was incredible. Had no idea Lee was filming it.

A true blessing to know one's kid will carry the torch to the most amazing music in existence that continues to give us metal heads hope! This video is golden and she will look at it years later to know it really happened! 🫡🫡

what did you say what did he say :)

[@joshansharma4244]

You are so lucky to get so close to him.. What did you say to him? If I may ask.

[@christinareynolds5339]

That is sooo beyond awesome, i agree, what did he say, he seemed super nice

[@user-hs7ps3egdkdkd]

A concert isn’t safe for a kid.

[@peaelare]

That exchange he had with that dude looked like a real, human, authentic connection. Very cool for both of them.

[@garrett8886]

It was awesome. I thanked him for sharing his pain through music to help others through their own. During the pyro for One he came back and gave my daughter his wristband.

It's so cool to see kids loving Metallica. I remember hearing my first Metallica song in the 90s when I was like 8 years old. That where it all began for me.

[@TheDude7107]

Saw the concert live in a cinema lol

[@u.s.m.c.fewproudthemarines2987]

Cool friend

[@yourmetalsister2958]

Beautiful footage. I was watching you all on a cinema screen in England. I took some photos of people that were shown on the screen and will post them on the film site, so hello to 13 year old John , who was attending his 1st Metallica gig, and to the lady who was sharing her 50th birthday with Metallica, and to everyone else who was there, you're world famous now. Both shows were awesome, wish I could have been there, but I at least got to see both shows twice at the cinema.

[@RobotSnake]

Where did you post the photos? I'd love to see if I'm in them. I saw the camera tons of times. I was to the left of this dad and daughter.

[@russellgriffeth8696]

Love how it’s a no-smoking venue, but Papa Het doesn’t give a sh- ! 😂

[@MrLennybach]

Neither does Snoop Dogg…. I don’t mind if the entertainers get pass, while on the job!

[@HelenNetoken]

I would never wash my face🤘🏻

[@WereRNT]

I was on the opposite side of there lol

[@thrash1337]

James is so cool with fans. What were they talking about?

[@markwittels1337]

That young girl towards the end is beautiful.

[@RobotSnake]

I was right on the other side of the dudes with the flag! Metallica was amazing but I preferred Pantera! I sold my Sunday Metallica ticket and drove to Austin to see Pantera headline with Lamb of God.

[@stevesun3658]

How the f!ck you got all those amazing footage ?

[@yourmetalsister2958]

Being in the right place at the right time.
