Metallica- Enter Sandman Live Moscow 1991 Reaction

you know you've reached legendary status when your audience has a horizon.

[@moorek1967]

Not only a horizon, but a cloud.

[@moorek1967]

@@SuperAdam2468 You should see the whole concert. Pantera, Counting Crows, Metallica and AC/DC. In 1989, Black Sabbath was in Moscow as part of the Peace Music festival. There was a little violence with some of the young men at the front attacking soldiers and the soldiers beating them. That was hard to watch. That started when Pantera was singing and then while Counting Crows was on. Had the crowd rushed the soldiers, there would not have been enough to stop it but the army had tanks nearby. Then Pantera was out in the crowd with their interpreter asking the young people how they liked the music and general questions like that, and one girl said her brother was killed by a soldier. The concert was long because it was night when AC/DC closed it out.

[@naycnay]

This happened as a special stop for the "Monsters of Rock" tour for the people of Moscow during the collapse of the USSR. No tickets or anything, just turn up and mosh. The army not only couldn't stop it, they joined in...

The melody at the beginning is called "ecstacy of gold" it was on the movie "the good, the bad, and the ugly".

[@jasongallegos651]

Ennio Morricone is the composer of Ecstasy of Gold, and other spaghetti western music

This comment thoroughly confuses me as _The Good, the Bad and the Ugly_ is a movie by Sergio Leone starring Clint Eastwood.

[@LaptopLarry330]

On the "ABC Rock Concert" program, Brian Johnson and Angus Young, of AC/DC, made a brief statement (after the concert festival many weeks later) before their performance of a song from this music festival. They stated that the concert took place at an air force base outside of Moscow, before 2.5 million people. It has been said that 1.5 million people were there. It may have been so for when Metallica played their set, but it most likely had grown by the time AC/DC performed as the "Main Event" act at the end of the night.

[@moorek1967]

For those who don't know the song, the opening was Ecstacy of Gold written by the late Ennio Morricone for the move The Good, The Bad and the Ugly. Metallica opened with it at every concert.

[@lisalotwin3154]

They held the concert at an empty airfield. It was massive.

[@herotomillions4095]

This was an AC/DC, Metallica, Pantera concert in September of 1991. The USSR collapsed in December of that same year. It was attended by an estimated 1.6 million people. The people were ready for communism to end. About 50 people died or were hospitalized. There were also about 11000 armed soldiers to keep the crowd in line. Musically, in Russia this is considered to be a very significant concert considering the time. If you're doing a Metallica-athon check out the song Harvester of Sorrow from the same concert. It really puts this concert in perspective

[@Maks_Morkovkin]

Just 1 died, he was killed with the knife. 50 injured.

[@MrTech226]

I have seen Metallica playing this song in 1992 during their Black Album American tour in Miami. It was not many people there where I was in the arena like the festival in Moscow year prior....

[@edwardbarrett453]

1.6 million yes that’s correct!!!!!!!!!

[@mettall1981]

The melody that is played at the beginning was not written by Metallica. Many bands have intros play before they enter onto the stage. Ozzy plays the theme from the movie Excalibur. The melody for Metallica is from the soundtrack to "The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly" starring Clint Eastwood. This song plays at the end of the movie during the final duel.

The crowd is around 1.6 million, but what's important about this concert is that this took place shortly after the collapse of the Soviet Union. This was the first time they had ever heard western music. And Metallica is what they got. Awesomeness. Because of this Metallica is still insanely popular in Russia. And one of the most respected bands to play in Russia.

So the melody you hear at the beginning is called The ecstasy of Gold.... it’s from a Old Clint Eastwood Western I think. The band likes the music so much the bought the rights to the song just so that they could play it as their intro music at concerts

That's the only thing about a band with this kind of following, I was into metallic back in the 90's and i guess some changes in their line up anyway. I don't know I'll watch this type of show on tv but live it's just different it's not worth the money to me if you can't get close to the stage and it also hard for some bands to sound good with like with AC/DC this kind of such an enormous coliseum size crowd, I give kudos to Metallica they sure bring the crowd but ill listen to the CD or watch it on tv .you guys keep rocking 👍👍!

This was 3 months before the USSR was no more. This was September 1991. Gorbachev lowered the hammer & sickle flag from the Kremlin for the last time December 25, 1991 & replaced it with the 3 color flag. This was the 1st western culture event in Russia in 5 years. 'For Those About To Rock: Monsters In Moscow' as part of the Monsters of Rock Tour. Artists were: Metallica, Pantera, AC/DC, The Black Crowes & E.S.T.. The military were going to cancel the show almost right before people started showing up. But for fear of revolt, they didn't. They expected 500,000. It was estimated at 1.6million. Crowd Scan had since tried to do an accurate count using video footage. They settled on 1.6million but said it was most likely a little more than that. 1.6 Million people....and this is only 3rd on the all time list of crowds at an open air concert. #1 is Rod Stewart at Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil with a crowd of 3.5 Million in 1994. #2 was Jean Michel Jarre in 1997 also in Russia, like that Metallica show, with 3.5 Million.
