Metallica - Enter Sandman Live Moscow 1991 | First Time Reaction

[@WhatsUpDoc1379]

1.6 million. They have evolved over time and their first 5 albums are great top to bottom. Can't miss!

[@edwinbaltazar9878]

Yes even the KGB and CIA are present in that concerts

[@Pavel-Geleznov]

could be more than 1.6 million, they are just stopped counting after it😈

[@RoverWaters]

About 300 thousand spectators came and came from other cities to the concert with the participation of PANTHERA, BLACK CROSE, METALLIKA, AS / DS and our EST. This concert was guarded by 11 thousand people: police, riot police, internal troops, rifle divisions of the Soviet Army. When the first bottles fell on their heads and two soldiers were taken away by an ambulance, angry law enforcement officers began to rush at anyone they did not like, beating people with their hands, feet and clubs. The space in front of the stage literally turned into a bloody battle that did not stop from the very beginning of the concert until midnight. According to the ambulance station, 56 people were taken to hospitals with serious injuries, of which 16 were military personnel.Oleg PSHENICHNY Photo by L. LAZAREV "Horizon №12'1991

The first and last time you will ever see 1.6 million people in a concert crowd all grooving on the music....the energy is through the roof ....amazing

[@christophermzdenek]

An interesting story was told by one of the helicopter pilots some years after this. He was absolutely terrified flying over the field. There was a constant downdraft from literally all the people breathing and shouting (2 million liters of air moving per second in a relatively small area) plus low pressure everywhere from the heat coming off all the bodies on a hot day. He said he had nightmares of crashing into the crown for years.

[@dougwill8850]

Said it my prayers as a young child. I still say it.

[@gregbradshaw3410]

The prayer that you hear in the song is a prayer that is traditionally taught to children with Protestant Christian parents. This concert which featured 11 music artist and bands, was in September of 1991. Music from the U.S. and England had been smuggled into the Soviet Union over the years, and there was a huge underground movement of sharing music. The thing that is so special about this concert, is that it showed that the Soviet system was weakening and preceded the official dissolution of the Soviet Union December 26, 1991.

[@jeffpollard3749]

1.6 million people. 3rd largest crowd ever to witness a concert.

[@kimstan2033]

the Lords Prayer IS PRAYED BY ALL TRASITIONAL CHRISTIANS

[@gregbradshaw3410]

@@kimstan2033 The prayer in the song is not the "Lord's Prayer". It is the "Now I lay me down to sleep", which was originally written by Sir George Wheeler in his book, "The Protestant Monastery".

[@reallybadgamer]

I also heard it was a free concert. Conan asked the lead singer if that was maybe an accident for making it free. They had no idea this was going to happen as it was thrown together so fast.

[@matiasvignoli6889]

​@@kimstan2033te equivocas yo soy católico apostólico romano, es decir la mayoria de la cristiana y nunca la aprendi pero la he oido de sociedades protestantes

[@RandallMorris222]

The prayer is an old children's bedtime prayer and has been used in many things. "Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep. If I die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take." It was always pretty terrifying to me as a child. I think that was actually the point in this song.

[@mztweety1374]

My grandma made me recite it every night before bed... possibly to protect me from all the horror movies I loved to watch as a kid lol.

[@timl8302]

It might of come from the Plague days? "Ring Around the Rosie" came from those days.

[@ThunderBallz87]

I recited the same prayer almost every night with my parents as a kid when they were tucking me into bed, but in my neck of the woods it ended with one more sentence, "If I should live for future days, I pray the Lord to guide my ways." Takes a bit of the edge off I think.

[@igorzaicew2295]

I was at this concert , so not everyone had arrived yet , but there were 1.6 million people at that time

Ha Igor cool name wait now I remember when the Russian names were all over my country since 1959 and I had a friend in Middle school, he was in my classroom, he was call Igor, he looked like a Russian blonde guy with green eyes, man it was 1979. Congrats 🎉🎉🎉🎉😊😊 for been in that Monster of Rock in 1991 my country started banning news from Russia and the Cubans were fleeing from there.

[@jamesrader3329]

I was tought that prayer by my grandmother when i was young..

[@victorramsey5575]

This video is iconic for many reasons. But a little known one is the guitar singer James Hetfield is playing saved his life. A few months after this show they were touring with Guns N Roses. In Montreal, during the song Fade To Black, James was standing in the wrong place when a stage port went off. Stage ports shoot sparks and flames made from molten magnesium 30 ft in the air. James' hand and the side of is face were burned pretty bad. But the guitar took the main blast. The guitar, an ESP custom made copy of a Gibson Explorer, sacrificed itself to save James. This event put ESP Guitars in a mythical, almost magical status. Still today the name ESP carries a lot of weight in guitar circles.

[@delboy7928]

Never new that thanks for sharing

[@kensternation]

There were 1.6 million people of three days but they were not all there for Metallica. It was a music festival called Monsters of Rock. You can even see the other stages in the background, but I guarantee most of the people there are fans to some degree or other.

[@jamieslack3147]

Since you enjoy The Warning, please check out their tribute to Enter Sandman live at Teatro Metropolitan CDMX- the same concert that you reacted to Animosity and Disciple.

[@l.j.4458]

❤️this..your awesome

[@hantek1]

Hey Inna, thanks for the reaction 💕 Nobody knows the exact people count, but its around 1,5 million people. The concert was given on a military (air)base. It's a bedtime prayer: Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the lord my soul to keep. If I die before I wake, I pray the lord my soul to take. Btw, Enter Sandman is one of the heavy songs. But you really have to check out Master of Puppets, Sad But True and One 😊

[@renejensen7799]

Metallica, Pantera, Ac/Dc and The black Crows played at this concert, its one of the biggest concerts ever with 1,6 million crowd, the russians went nuts, the concert was brought to a pause after Pantera performed, i think it was after the song Domination, but the concerts continued, you could check out Domination to from Pantera at this concert..

[@RoverWaters]

1.6 million was the estimation over the entire weekend

Goodness! Gracious! That's one insane show!

[@renantrudes7025]

One of the best concerts ever

[@ianbrooke6342]

They actually stopped counting people at the gates at 1.5 million because so many were climbing in over fences and so on, nobody knows for sure how many were there. Very sadly 53 people died in the crowd. There were a number of bands on the show along with Metallica, AC/DC, Pantera and The Black Crowes were 3 of them. It was held on a disused airfield outside Moscow just after the dissolution of the soviet union.

[@brianschaffer9220]

3 days, 1.5 million people. There are bound to be a couple handfuls of deaths from anything.

[@edwinbaltazar9878]

Yes we're already know that already

[@carlop.7182]

Thanks for your reaction. Here, you only see a part of the crowd facing the stage, but not all of it. To see the whole thing, look for: Monsters of rock, Moscow 1991 riots during the show, you'll have a view of the total 1.6 million crowd by helicopter--not too pretty to watch, though--lots of fights in there. Have a nice day.

[@RoverWaters]

1.6 million is an internet folktale

[@sammurphy3343]

It's a great live show but the context around it is why it's remembered fondly. First Metallica performance in Russia just after the soviet union collapse.

[@malheuroutpost970]

Great video, Inna - this music bridges the generation gap. P/S. The female vocalist introduction music is Susanna Rigacci performing The Ecstasy of Gold.

[@crazexskater]

METALLICA RULEZ!!! MASTER OF PUPPETS!!!

[@ar47yrr4p]

There was about 1.5 million people in that crowd. This was part of the "Monsters of Rock" tour that they were doing every year for a while. Every year they would get 6 or 7 of the big rock and metal bands to do a tour. This particular year Metallica were the headliners but keep in mind there were 6 or 7 BIG name bands there. Not to diminish Metallica, because they are one of my favorites, but just to be clear, the crowd wasn't there "solely" for Metallica. They obviously LOVED them though! Some people claim that this was the first time after the "fall of the soviet union" that they got western music like this. Well, this concert was August 17, 1991 and the "soviet union" collapsed on December 26, 1991! So this was before the collapse, a full 4 months before the collapse, and if you take into account the MANY months it takes to prepare and schedule such an event, you are likely looking at at least a full year before the collapse.

Now that you know Enter sandman, as you already know The Warning, you should look at the two covers of enter sandman that they made. The first in 2014 as they were 9, 12 and 14 yo became viral and made 22M views. The second, made with the canadian singer Alessia Cara at the request of Metallica for their Blacklist album in 2021.

There had been another major fest before: Moscow Music Peace Festival '89, with Ozzy, Scorpions, Bon Jovi, Cinderella and others.

[@anthonydavella1878]

They stopped counting at 1.6 million, some say 3 million showed up. 55 people died during the concert. The concert was so big because it was the first time medal music was allowed in the country. This was just after the Iron curtain fell.

This concert took place mere months after the attempted coup against Gorbachev; and only a few months before the Soviet Union declared itself finished. 1.6 million showed up to the concert. It was the first open-air concert of western bands in history. The Soviet military tried to make sure that the concert wouldn't take place. The importance of this moment in history can't be overstated! Rock music helped bring down communism.

[@jeffsukut2148]

It's actually called "The Lord's Prayer".

[@metalmamasue3680]

The Lord's prayer starts with; Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. I think so anyhow.

[@watcher2554]

Earliest versions of the prayer come from the late 15th Century and the modern common prayer taught to most Christian children has changed only slightly in verbiage over the years. Early - "Here I lay me down to sleep. To thee, O Lord, I give my Soul to keep, Wake I ever, Or, Wake I never; To thee O Lord, I give my Soul to keep for ever." Modern - Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my Soul to keep. If I should die before I wake, I pray the Lord my Soul to take. And yes, it has been used a lot in Rock and Metal songs in keeping with those traditional values of Justice for Ones' Soul. And its used even More often in Rap songs than in Metal!!

[@genewojciechowski9567]

There were several bands mostly power heavy metal types, including also AC/DC. It was after fall of USSR and this concert was one of the demands by the students and others who organized the uprising that they have a free concert . 1.6 million people showed up but it was peaceful and looks like everyone had a very good time, even the Russian military that were there to maintain order joined in the celebration. I probably shouldn't judge because I am American, but in my opinion seems that this was one of the few times in Russian history when they had a government that backed the people.

[@joeb4142]

Actually, believe it or not, in this “Monsters of Rock” concert / cultural explosion Metallica wasn’t the headliner! The lineup was AC/DC, Metallica, The Black Crowes, Panera and the USSR’s Electro Shock Therapy. The helicopter pilot was trying to cool down the incredibly large, overheated crowd with his ‘copter blades. He was terrified because of the turbulent updrafts and downdrafts caused by such an enormous rocking crowd.

[@subhashshah]

1.6 million as per the record i read somewhere

[@torsten.breswald]

hey inna, this was one if not THE first concert of a western band in russia after the fall of the iron curtain. you are from ukraine but to young to actually remember but you may have heard stories, before this kind of music wasn't really allowed to listen to in public at all. still there were fans trading band merch stuff secretly and things like that and now after years and years of being restricted they were able to go and see this band live. imagine how they must have felt. you see it in their faces so this video is about the crowd, not about the band or song :)

[@AkahigeNoAmo]

I don't want to argue that Metallica was the first band of their(huge!) calibre that played in Moscow, but The Scorpions played as early november 1989, and again in '90 iirc (in '90 they even released a special version of Wind of Change for russia), being nitpicky and all (though The Scorpions style would be less offensive to communist parties ears, I presume)

[@torsten.breswald]

@@AkahigeNoAmo ah thx for correcting, i think i even remember there were news about the scorpions in russia. still it must have been an insane event back than

[@AkahigeNoAmo]

@@torsten.breswald I didn't really see it as a correction, more of a informative tidbit. and while I'm not that much of a scorpions fan, I do enjoy their music a lot. and Wind of Change is quite the anthem for the fall of the iron curtain as well, imo. And what I saw of them in interviews, they actually pushed quite passionately to play for the russian people back then. (and I have that info more or less at my fingertips, since I get triggered [not really] when I hear those Hasselhoff or Rocky jokes [not that that is the case here ;) )

[@JohnHarris-BluesaltsAuthor]

An interesting bit of historical trivia (to us) about the presence of the US flag in the crowd. During the Soviet era, it was illegal to openly display the American flag in Russia. Indeed, there was an American ex-pat who had stayed in Russia after World War II, who fought a 40-year court battle to display the USSR and US flags together outside his house in (of all places) Siberia. To the best of my knowledge, he never received permission to do so and died before the Soviet Union fell.

[@aaronstandingbear]

Apparently over a million very happy Russians.

[@kh2099-z5f]

This was part of a 3 day festival. And a first for rock bands from outside. So ya a lot of people partook. But there have been larger festivals. And please understand. Doesnt matter what famous RockNRoll bands were there. There would still be 1.6 watching them. So dont make it out to be a Metallica concert. The helicopters were there to help keep the crowd cooled off.

Damn they know how to throw down in Russia,that one guy was in a James Bond movie,was there really a million people there

[@MusiCatsKing]

They actually stopped counting at 1.6 million, so more than that, but no one knows how many more. The crowd was probably so starved of music that this would've been a phenonemal release for them If you want something heavier, next song Creepping Death is fantastic. There's a moment when the whole crowd is chanting DIE DIE DIE... at their collapsing tyranny. If you want something more melodic and with more variety Fade To Black, also from the same concert, would be my suggestion.

Many of my friends were die hard Metallica fans in the 80s and when the black album was released lots of them were not happy because they found it too commercial. It was the first album I liked and the band grew on me after it.

[@palladinodessa8988]

With respect, before the black album, they had a raw, garage band sound. Their rhythms drove the song at a much thrashier sound. The black album did seem more mainstream and refined. That change in production is a lot of the reason why. Just one man's opinion...
