Metallica - Newcastle, England September 19, 1986 w/ Cliff Burton and John Marshall

[@SrDrakkula]

8 Days Before The Fckng Tragedy !! Cheers Cliff Wherever You Are !!!!

[@drewwesley9506]

John Marshall did a good job.

[@Ilshatey]

He always did.

[@perpetualmotion357]

Thr end of Fade is funny. I think John did one bar too many so they had to do another round or Lars didnt slow down for it. Maybe it was Kirk. I'm thinking John though since they never seemed to mess that part up before.

[@smashdalde9713]

Marshall really does a fantastic job filling in for Hetfield.Not an easy gig by any stretch of the imagination..

[@msicouldntthinkofafunnynam4770]

Crazy to think Cliff was gone only 8 days later, played like a king until the very end

[@rajarahman2655]

Picture this. Anthrax come on stage. They feed the crowd with adrenaline. The crowd responds in kind. The band likes to see the crowd going wild. Anthrax go up another gear. Fantastic. Metallica hit the stage. They feed the crowd with adrenaline. The crowd responds in kind. Metallica are full of spunk and on fire. Just as here and at Hammy, they were unstoppable. I heard they were fantastic at Sheffield as well. Take note kids, a whole generation of bands will fade away with time as immortality does not exist. But we at the time were spoilt for choice. Motörhead, Sabbath, Voi Vod, Slayer, Maiden, and hundreds of other bands at their prime during late ‘70’s, throughout the ‘80’s and ‘90’s as well. The gigs they put on were unforgettable. When you saw Metallica, you always remember Cliff as his stage antics drew attention. Cliff was a one off. Memories are made of this. Just glad people bought Pro Sony Walkman recorders to record shows the world over. Now people, listen to these shows try to experience what we went through at these gigs without the sweat, soggy tee shirts, denims. ENJOY.

[@smashdalde9713]

Best times of my life,man...

[@cliffisfuckingawesome3508]

fuck yeah

[@Ilshatey]

Everyone say "Hi!" to Cliff!

[@glennhecker4422]

"HI, CLIFF!!!"

[@andrewalexb]

My dad was at this show, can’t believe how crazy it would’ve been in person. Rest in Paradise forever Cliff

[@thomasackerly7732]

Awesomeness saw Cliff 4x he was amazing intense live He accomplish so much in short life

[@anders2772]

The bass drums from this kit Tama Superstar for US tours were used for Justice For All recordings.

[@ajwasp]

Anders Jørgensen how do you know this? Are you friends with Fleming Rasmussen?

[@MartinJessop-bi4yt]

So glad i got to this gig all those years ago, only chance to see the great Cliff Burton in action. It was a late night as Metallica didn't hit the stage till after 10. Sadly james had a broken wrist from skateboard accident so just vocals from him but didnt detract from the show one bit. People kept putting brown ale bottles on the stage and Cliff kept kicking them off. They hardly paused between the songs just blitzed through. My one regret was my mates got their programmes signed by all the band and i didn't. Oh dear!

[@paulc130]

What an upload! Yes, I was at this gig too at 16 years old. I got backstage and met the band afterwards and got my Damage Inc tour program signed. Still got it and wouldn't sell it for the world. I've also got the bootleg tape of the gig but glad to have this on you tube so I don't wreck the tape.

[@jhep1]

After meeting them in Bradford days earlier, Lars Ulrich got ,me in for free through through the back door cos I was only 15!

[@EstebanMenchacaGamboa]

+jhep1 Cool man

[@muriloninja]

Fucking epic! \m/

[@ianjames7440]

I was there it was my first ever gig.

[@daverutherford3127]

It was my 1st gig too mate and after what happened a week later such a privilege to see Cliff play 🤘🏻

[@ah197012]

Thanks for uploading this. I was at this gig and got an audio tape a few months afterwards which I lost years ago. I still have clear memories of the concert.Hetfield was enjoying the Newcastle Brown Ale and i remember him passing a bottle to the rest of the band at one point. Cliffs solo was excellent. Anthrax did a good 60 minute set , remember them covering the Pistols and Scott Ian getting showered in a pint from the audience!!. It was the first time I saw them and still got happy memories of the night. Cliff Burton RIP and the Mayfair RIP

[@bullyinspace]

I lived in Newcastle and the Mayfair was a great venue. May it rip !!!!

[@VmITImV]

70th comment! My origin story begins at this event. My mother snuck backstage to meet the band and even said Cliff gave her a kiss. She also met a roadie whose name she liked so much she gave it to me when I was born over a year later. I still have the bootleg tape of this night, too... orange cover and everything.

[@dclizardking]

Pleased you upped this, lost my tape a few years ago. One of the best nights of my life.

[@fatdandy5721]

& you still didn't chuck in for the taxi home. Cheapass. x

[@garyedgar9778]

Pretty sure that my friend Peter Atkinson recorded this ! We were both at this show ( I saw the Manchester show two days earlier as well ) and he recorded everything .

[@stevemann40]

This gig set the benchmark for all other gigs in my life and it still hasn't been equaled. (Still got my ticket stub too. No 109!)

[@Liviopedata]

Marshall was at the same level of james?

[@stevemann40]

@@Liviopedata He was damn close and it freed up James to chug down a lot of beer over the gig

[@Liviopedata]

@@stevemann40 because ive listened that the best gigs the heaviest craziest and fastest gigs in the era of cliff was on the great britain tour

[@Liviopedata]

@@stevemann40 you were also at day on the green in 1985? Many said that was the best gig ever of metallica during the cliff era

[@muriloninja]

Cliff had 8 days left....damn! RIP!

[@srsjackson]

Whiplash at 194 BPM and The Four Horsemen at 256 BPM sounds fucking crazy!

[@D2012-n3t]

I was deaf for about 2 days after that concert!! Happy days.

[@moonshine4815]

31:00 cliffs solo for those who need it

[@cortezmack8611]

NOTHING BUT THRASH I LOVE IT!!!

[@RammsteinLtd]

Saw them at the Birmingham Odeon, on The Puppets Tour, Anthrax were special guests.

[@fantacho]

damn! this is history! ty \m/

[@perpetualmotion357]

I've heard a lot of people say AJFA and TBA have the best vocals from Hetfield but I've always preferred the sound of him in 86' thru 87'. It's not as deep yet but there is an intensity to it that's unmatched.

[@ralph110281]

Damn!! imagine if they didnt play as fast as they did back then just how long this concert would be?!?! LOL

[@alexanderdoe3934]

This is a great video, thank you.

[@ianstuart5689]

I was there, Anthrax supported as I remember.

[@THESONICSPEEDDEMON]

Dang I never heard of this concert before especially with Cliff’s solo

[@iaingibbons1970]

Amazing gig! I can remember just standing watching Kirk play and thinking how the F&^k does he do that!

[@daverutherford3127]

It was my first ever gig mate. I was 12! 😂 I was just I. Awe of them all

[@ah197012]

I was down the front remember the stage diving and Kirk and cliffs solo amazing memories. Wish I could go back in time to this one also saw Dio at the city hall in 86

[@xendava8495]

God they play so fuckin fast. Fuckin love it.

[@mrb740]

I was born on this exact date, lol =))

[@sirchutneyroars]

Jason, this is amazingly brilliant. Nice work, cheers! Rob

[@bota2112]

...only seven days later.... :(

[@giantknittedcondomsforsale205]

8 days

[@johnjackson8975]

Sped up to fit 1:45 worth of music in to a video of 1:28. Nice.

[@perpetualmotion357]

Commented a year ago and I see I'm back again. James never sounded better imo. If I could freeze the way I want Hetfield to be, it would be the 1986 version without a doubt although he also sounded killer on the Garage Days Re-revisited, where he sounded like a mix between Puppets and Justice. The intensity though, it just can't be matched from 85,86,87. The very early years he was finding himself and you could tell they weren't quite as mature yet. Those first couple of years of constant touring really developed their playing and songwriting. Ride The Lightning(James favorite album) is where they captured it and kept that ultimate formula until The Black Album where they shifted gears and watered it down a bit to where the masses and radio stations could latch on to it. Even as a watered down band, they still conquered the world and they remain there till this day. TBA was the rocket that got the world to take notice but it was really their back catalogue which kept their fanbase and established them as the king of the genre. Even though they went every which way since the 90s, releasing different kinds of records and a few duds, it's what they did in the 80's that immortalized them and put them in the Smithsonian..

[@KeeperOfCliffsTone]

damn do you hear what cliff is doing during seek and destroy chorus waaahhwahwhahaw lol that's a bass im sure

[@KeeperOfCliffsTone]

55:30 for example, the sound is the same as for whom intro solo and ansthesia..he is doing that kind of stuff on the album recording as well

[@russfoulkes5490]

Its so fucking cool.

[@tryfishin9]

That's when he turns on his Morley pedal. Same fuzz wah used on Bells and The Call of Ktulu and a couple more.

[@soundgarden6478]

I was talking to a guy yesterday who attended this concert, he was telling me all about it.

[@prr9378]

Siempre intenté buscar un audio de cliff tocando orion pero 😭😭 nunca encontré

[@glen366]

£5 fucking hell you cant even get 2 pints for that now

[@men5crumm]

Now you struggle to get one pint for that !!!

[@psychedelicfright85]

No video grrrrr

[@mdub2000]

Shit i didnt know they were doing the good the bad the ugly intro even way back then?

[@stubkar]

Equivalent to $18.50 in today's American dollars. Huh.

[@pietrobembo]

Nobody ever believes me when I tell them I paid £5 to see Metallica!

[@smashdalde9713]

£5! And you could have fun too...

[@thomasackerly7732]

pietrobembo I paid $8.50 for them in 85

[@ajwasp]

pietrobembo I believe you. I saw them on the justice tour a couple of years later at Newcastle City Hall for £ 11,- and thought that was cheap.
