Metallica - Full Concert - 07/24/99 - Woodstock 99 East Stage (OFFICIAL)

[@philipsmith9466]

Just watched the documentary on Netflix, doesn’t mention Metallica played apart from one tiny comment from Kirk, must’ve been one of the positive parts of the festival

[@Ruleof2Review]

I was surprised by that too. I’m the HBO documentary from last year it does talk about how a fan went to the front for Metallica but died from exhaustion and hypothermia in the pit during their set. Very sad cause he was a life long fan.

[@ericaikin6597]

right? I noticed that too

[@NooDLES411911]

I thought for sure it would've been a talking point. But seems like Korn and Bizkit incited the most frenzy, which makes sense I guess since they were the hot new biggest bands of the time. Metallica was now one of the remaining 80s bands with a bad rap after load/reload

Turn the page killed it actually

[@ivanoliver9532]

Hetfield's voice has the best balance during this era, clean and raspy.

[@fabricio2467]

i think his actual voice sound s more like what you say

[@danieldagenais7945]

The best voice James had in he's career in my opinion was that Live Shit Tour...those legendary Mexico Show in 93...best thing Metallica ever recorded that dosent include The God of Bass Metal himself , Cliff Burton .Jason was Killing it tho

[@kooijbas]

That just shows how opinions can vary, because I consider this the low point. In the 80s and early 90s he was basically abusing his voice and he sounded awesome late 80s early 90s. Then he blew out his voice and basically had to relearn how to sing live. I feel that he's still searching and learning here and he sounds better now (2022) then in this recording. In fact the whole band is searching for a new identity here. Took them about 13 years (1995-2008).

[@chriszaa2309]

actually james voice was better in the early albums

[@mattdad8429]

I find it almost impossible to pick a favorite vocal era for him. Some days I need that raspy piss and vinegar '87 Hetfield, and some days I gotta have that proper metal-crooner '99 S&M James.

I agree 100% Jason was METAL and they became to "soft" after he was gone@@m0nk3yl0v3r

[@wob6776]

​@@m0nk3yl0v3rHow on earth do you reach the conclusion that Newsted "is" Metallica? He was in the band for their most commercial period but it's almost universally agreed their best work is 84 through 88 so he had a part in at most one of their OG great albums. He wasn't there for the return to form that was Death Magnetic and Hardwired. He arrived late and left early, and his poor treatment while wrong is absolutely proof that he *wasn't* Metallica, James and Lars were and at the time still Kirk. He was a cool live player but people say this way too much.

THIS is my favorite Metallica era. Lars was so damn excellent on the drums, not to mention Jason's playing and backing vocals.

[@JoshT-rb9gq]

I must've watched this 1000 times when i was like 13. Playing along woth my guitar each time driving my parents crazy. On DSL speed back in like 2003. When everyone had kazaa and practically gave my computer aids to watch this.

1:00:55 my favorite moment. Reminds old good James

Sorry to post again. You people had to have been there ro experience it. First off after 3 days of 100+ degree weather, the storm that passed right when they came on was incredible. Added to already amazing experience. He was drenched cause it was pooring out. The lightning and thunder, winds. They came on speakers to warn us of the storm. Didn't stop them from rocking one if the most amazing sets. Like i said u had to have been there. I have been to tons of concerts but nothing will ever come close to woodstock 99....

[@justaguy5909]

Daniel DAmico remember what the announcer said ? He said that the weather channel called since we were considered New York's third city and warned us of a storm coming our way, the crowd when nuts !!!! He continues to say we spoke to the guys in Metallica and they will play rain or shine , which again made us go crazy !!!! The clouds came in like they scene in poltergeist as ecstasy of gold came on!!! Fucking epic time that I will never forget !!!!

[@domg9186]

Dude it threatened to storm with high winds. There was absolutely no rain during the Metallica set.. maybe a mist if anything. It passed right over all of us thankfully! 👊🏼

[@damico7979]

One of my greatest memories of my life. Woodstock 99'. 3 days in 100+ degree weather. All of this with my best of friends #Pkells, #Rbrusky, #Dkorbs and r.i.p Bobby Cunningham... Never ever forget when you guys came on stage and they were calling for a major storm to pass thru while metallica was about to take stage. Never forget the rain wind and best the sound of metallica lighting up the sky nevr mind the lightning. Sitting their on whatever i was feeling at that moment. It was truly amazing. Distant memory but this video produced in 2014 will forver take me back. Turning the page and nothing else mattered at that time truly...simply amazing metallica!!!

[@oneeightyseeevvveeens5326]

[@juangordilloandreu3603]

What a show this was. I was lucky to be there, and for 94’ too. I remember having to drag my passed out buddy from the concert grounds all the way to the tent after the show. Great times!

[@Rickkelley365]

I actually saw the show before ‘94 Woodstock. It was in Pittsburgh, 8/12. My first show

[@krankykong2439]

Man, ‘99 Tallica was the best. They really perfected their sound in this era. Would love to see an official video and/or audio release of this show.

This was Saturday night. I didn't really lose my voice until Sunday afternoon during Godsmack and by the time Flea came onstage naked Sunday night, I was deaf too.

Kenneth Richardson haha I wasn’t sure if he was naked and then I realized he was butt ass naked. We were all so thrashed. And drunk. And High. Saw tons of tiddies. And pussy.

Jaden Dubecky nobody died. 1 person in the entire 3 days died from a heart attack. Pits aren’t as bad as you’d think. As long as you don’t mind huge crowds and getting bruised up a little. And if you’re a man. A few sick fucks gang raped some women at this one ruined it for everyone.

[@corazon6325]

The performance of turn the page makes me feel so sad. The band is pouring their hearts out in this song and everyone, Metallica and the crowd giving away every last ounce of energy. Unfortunately little did we know Jason had run out pretty much and the band just about there also. Such a pure Metallica just pure sentiment.

[@MrNicoraffaele]

just came out here because of the new Netflix's documentary about woodstock 99! when i saw that my metallica was there, i run to search if this video exists in youtube!

[@samadams9623]

the fact that they went after RATM and Limp Bizkit. the energy must’ve been surreal

[@ThreeDrives718]

Those of us who were there, remember the thunder and lightning striking during this performance. God, that was Fing INSANE! Happy 25th, to those of us who dragged suitcases filled with ML cans like A MILE to setup our crappy tent for the weekend. haha

I remember watching this shit on PPV back in the day. I begged my parents to order it for me so I could see Metallica's performance (as well as others...and I was only in High School at the time hence why I had to ask my parents lol). I may still have the VHS recording I did of it somewhere.

[@blueish-template4532]

Lurch Murphy I called the PPV line for my cable company and hung up after only 3 rings. I was scared shitless because I went behind my mom's back. To my surprise, those three rings were enough to get PPV on my tv... oops!

Fight Fire With Fire was so heavy. Ive never seen James play so hard and go so low on his vocals. Very sick!

[@tsjoencinema]

I find it odd that in the documentary "Trainwreck - Woodstock 99" on Netflix, they don't mention Metallica or show any clips of them.

[@totesflaisch]

Thought the same, that's why I looked the concert up. Probably they didn't want to throw shade on Metallica, because of Stranger Things

[@Michael15_25]

They left a few bands out. Rage Against the Machine had a great set after Limp Bizkit like Metallica did but all the focus was on LB lol

[@chrisingram8233]

Yeah it was weird that the doc was twice as long as the good one that came out last year on hbo max and didn't mention Rage burning an American flag

[@Yetizod1]

I have a feeling Metallica shut them down, threatened them with a lawsuit or something.

[@Grygal]

There is just a short Clip of a interview with kirk in it. But they didnt mention much of the RAtm gig too. I think they needed to focus on korn and limp bizkit

[@gregv2k]

My brother and I were standing maybe 25 feet away from James, just on the other side of the barrier. This was the end of a long hot day and whatever energy I’d lost came back from the first note of So What. This was the best I’ve seen them, the crowd was on fire, and you felt every note. It was as massive as it sounds.

[@NooDLES411911]

So just watched the Woodstock 99 documentary on Netflix. They only really showed Korn and Limp Bizkit. Thought they would've showed Metallica because it would've been undoubted crazy as fuck

[@Michael15_25]

Also Rage Against the Machine played right before Metallica too

[@99goat99]

Jason Newsted was the most metal part of Metallica, and never gets enough credit.

[@innuendo141]

Sting using Seek and Destroy from this show as his entrance music in '99 is what got me into Metallica. Still my favourite performance.
