I was at this show. My brother worked the soundboard for a company called Bell Sound out of Newport, DE at the time. The sound on this video doesn't capture the mayhem that Metallica created that night. At one point I went across Main street from the no longer there Stone Ballon and it was so fucking loud outside that you couldn't hold a conversation with someone next to you. The one downside was that the bathroom was covered in puke, but that was how most nights ended at the old Stone Balloon. Thanks for posting this, until I stumbled upon this all I had were memories of this incredible evening.

Amazing footage of a small club show with a totally unique setlist. Some of the show wasn't taped because Otto (taper) got up to sing "Trapped Under Ice" at one point. After the cut, he films the rest of the show on stage.

[@mikehauncho4874]

Jason came into a tough position. Cliff was the leader of the band, the oldest member, and they moved to San Francisco just to get Cliff into the band. Cliff was also, at least, 10 times the bass player of Jason. Metallica was forced to get a new bass player before they were mentally ready... so they took a punching bag. Jason ended up taking the beatings and gaining a voice in the band. Unfortunately his voice took them in the wrong direction and resulted in some of the worst albums Metallica put out, Load and Reload. He left before St. Anger (clearly the worst Metallica album) and didn't write any of the songs, but his influence was there. Since Rob joined the band Metallica has really turned things around, hope they can put a few more albums out before they hang it up.

[@bobekgergo967]

@@mikehauncho4874 what you mean with " Unfortunately his voice took them in the wrong direction and resulted in some of the worst albums Metallica put out, Load and Reload " ??? If i understand you well it was not Jasons fault Kirk and Lars wanted to make a record like that 2 album ... they wanted to try something new , like kissing each other ... Jason was the most Metahead in that Period only Lars & Jaymz ego didn´t let him to show what he has got ... they pushed him in the background he hadnt done to much to change the "metallica sound" ... Jason left the band ´cause when he get in the band than was only music matters ... but in baltimore in 2000 Metallica played very shit you can hear no more warming up or rehersal befpre the show their ego was in the sky and just got out and pissed on the crowed not birngin the level what they gave before ... Jason leaving was the best for the band ´cause so at least they realised where they are heading and tried to get back to the track ...

[@Ad.Dd.James.]

Jason was and still is the only living member of Metallica with an ounce of integrity by keeping a level head.

[@Sgarnoncunce]

@@mikehauncho4874 I don't think Jason had as much influence as you think. It seems like James and Lars were the masterminds and anything that happened went through them first. Can't pin it on Jason

Up to this point in my Metallica fandom, over all 30 odd years of it, the 85 Metal Hammer fest was by far my favorite Metallica performance ever, back when they played Disposable Heroes for the first time just before Puppets was released but fuck me I think this gig is actually just as good but for totally different reasons, not in terms of footage quality of course, because its far from it, but I reckon anyone who was actually there that night can count themselves very lucky, this is a real slice of Metallica history here Im glad they eventually shared it with us,

@@night1964prowler I can't believe that I'm seeing the name Wrathchild America in print lol! A few days ago, my cousin and I were talking about the Clash of The Titans tour at the Spectrum I took him to. He was 14 and I was 20 going on 21. Alice In Chains, Anthrax, Megadeth, and Slayer were the bands. We had good seats and had picks & drum sticks flying by our heads. People were trying to catch em and I was pushed into this kid a few times. I apologized and he turned around in his Wrathchild America shirt and told me that if I push him one more time, he will punch me in the face. Two big guys behind us pushed us aside and told him that if he hits me, he's done. I thanked them both and the kid in the shirt took off. I never heard of that band until that day in May 1991 nor have I heard anyone talk about them since until I seen your comment today lol. You got so lucky to see Metallica in that kind of atmosphere! We were born at a good time 🙂. Take care 🤘

@@night1964prowler ha ha ha - I remember having a sore neck in those days! I had no clue that they were that hard and opened for Metallica as well. I learned something new today and can't wait to tell my cousin. Thanks for sharing this bit of information with me. Have a great week and take care!

Looking back from 2022, its remarkable how this band rebounded strong after losing Cliff, and more than losing him, it was how they lost Cliff... it was horrible. Young ages... up and coming with a few albums out and then a huge tragedy. Metallica is a band like none other. All successes are well deserved. Self made giants.
