It was at Tushino Air Force Base outside of Moscow. My brother, myself and his best friend Brett were all US Air Force brats and our dads were stationed at Ramstein AFB in Germany. No way were we gonna miss this. We took about 5 trains, a bus and even hitchhiked to get to Moscow. We bribed a border guard in Ukraine because my brother (of course) lost his passport. We snuck over the Russian border near Bolgorod via an abandoned railway and were chased by cops or soldiers with dogs. They gave up and eventually somehow we made it up,to the show. It was AC/DC, Metallica, Pantera and Black Crowes. We slept in a tent we found. Then we got on a train home that ended up in Lithuania and our parents finally sent us plane fare to get back to Germany. What a fucking time to be 18.

This concert was held a month after the August Coup and three months before the fall of the Soviet Union. The government wanted to try bringing in music to the Soviet Union so they brought some bands to have an open air concert. The military tried to have the concert postponed because of all the political stuff happening that year (by the end of the year the Soviet Union wouldn't exist anymore) but it still went on. The military was there to keep everything in order, but the crowd got so big they couldn't do much about it and you can see some of them in the video enjoying the concert with the rest of the people.

@@RussianReactionReviews I don't know if anyone else noticed, but they have three stacked lines of troops stretched across providing security. I can't tell if they're militia, interior ministry or maybe KGB. The only reason I entertain the idea of the KGB is due to the time period and possibly Gorbachev wanted no chance of anyone getting near Metallica. I remember it being a much higher priority in the USSR than the US to ensure that anyone visiting, especially from the West, absolutely left in the same condition. Anyone know for sure?

[@DanteRising]

In the original Pantera video for Domination there was footage of some soldiers beating fans with batons because they didn't understand what mosh pits were and they obviously thought people were rioting.

The concert was at Tushino Airfield in northwest Moscow, the area has since been redeveloped and is now the site of the Otkritie Arena, the home of FC Spartak Moscow. The count of 1.6 million people was actually when they stopped counting at the entrance because so many people were sneaking in by other routes. Great concert, actually opened by AC/DC, unfortunately there were too many people for the military to control and sadly over 700 were injured and over 150 people in the crowd died.

Wow, great memories. I was there for the festival. I was in the recording industry and had a large recording studio where we recorded 4 Metallica albums in California where all the guys in the band lives, just north of San Francisco. I had been visiting the USSR since 1976 and talked several groups into playing there, but did not have any input on the decision to play that festival and found out about it from them. That was not certain anyone would be allowed in the country because the attempted coup happened just a few days before. The location was the old Tushino Airfield. ACDC played also, which was the first time I had seen them live. I have a lot of still photos I took from that concert. Did you grow up in St Petersburg? I live in the center near Ligovsky Metro. I moved full time from the San Francisco area in 2000 after falling in love with the city in 1976 on my first visit. The 90s was a crazy time, good and bad as an ex-pat and mostly bad for local Russians but beginning in 2000 or so everything was improving monthly and the economy really grew until the Wall Street meltdown in 2008-9 caused a depression all over. Russia did not suffer much from it but it stopped growing at 6-8% as it had for 8 years in a row. It is still a great place to live. What clubs did you go to, we probably crossed paths a lot.

I was 18 when this happened. There were 1.6 MILLION people in attendance. Russian helicopters were less then 7 meters above the crowd.

Hey, as an old man, I was in college when this album came up. For those of us who grew up during the Cold War, 1991 was a unique year - the end of the political structures we were so used to living under brought nervousness but also a kind of promise and hope for the future - on both sides of the "Iron Curtain" - that we hadn't seen before or since. Both the U.S. and Russia have kind of backslid in the decades since, but at the time, the future suddenly seemed a lot brighter for us all

PS: I also believe that this was the FIRST FULL LENGTH concert by an American band (of any genre) to take place on Russian soil for the PEOPLE, not the "elite". Meaning that it was the first time in decades that an American band was going to hold a full length concert (with Metallica that could be up to 3-4 hours depending on list of songs) instead of showing up for one or two songs as a "demonstration" at another group's concert or event. It WAS the first time in nearly 70 years that the list of songs being played was NOT "screened" by "party officials".

[@patrickwentz8413]

Europeans do love them some Metal! One of the last big metal bands before Grunge took over. I was never much of a Metallica fan but that would have been a hell of a concert.

[@chrisa703]

Ce concert me donne toujours des frissons !

[@sergeirachmaninoff8481]

That crowd is something to be reckoned with... Especially now since it's covid times. Leastwise... Covid or not... That's insane amount of people

[@taoist32]

1.6 million, according to some comments I read. I was 19 in 1993, but only went to rock concerts, not heavy metal.

[@fightingidiocy7724]

Metallica: "Want some freedom and yummy rock n' roll?" Russia: "Yes please."

[@ArmyVeteran-]

Thanks for sharing your experience. Saw them in 1995 in America. My ears are still ringing. lol..✌️

1991 in Moscow. That was a year of crisis. People were ready for this concert.

[@captbrownbeard1599]

I am surprised the crowd wasn't larger. Russia was about to fall, everyone could feel it. This was, I believe, the first American rock concert in Russia. Imagine finally being able to have the chance to see a band that you probably could have gotten in trouble for listening to even just a year ago. I was just going into high school when this happened.

[@richardvail3840]

It wasn't Russia about to fall, it was the Soviet Union.

[@serjeew3555]

i love you too my dear,yeah truly was huge crowd ,yeah they are my fans and my enthusiasms ,thank you for your opine and investigating this song,your sincerely one

[@BANDIT2DAY]

I was a 20 year-old kid living in Seattle when this concert went down. I actually went to watch Metallica here in Seattle two years before this concert took place. It was the best concert I’ve ever been to. I think this concert in Moscow is now probably the best concert ever. It’s mine blowing. 1.6 million people.

[@CptSlow89]

Best concert in human history - Pantera, Metallica, Black Crowes and AC DC.

[@tylerbenally6754]

The bands that took down Soviet Russia

[@GSXRTino1]

You know, you are doing nothing to dispel the myth that all Russian woman are incredibly beautiful.

[@dapperdan434]

Russian women are either haggard old grandmas, or 9's and 10's. She fits the stereotype

russian women are the most beautiful women on this planet, besides their physical appearance, their traditional values and femininity is what makes them top tier

Metalica fucking ROCKED Moscow.

[@joefisher1972]

Beautiful video! It almost brings tears to our eyes! Badass! Horosho!

[@patrickfarrell6353]

Best Metalica opening song and performance, anytime, anywhere. This is classic. Good job Russia, you ROCK!!

[@maxwelldameron8773]

Yessss I’ve been waiting for this reaction. I didn’t think this video was real the first time I saw it. I’ve seen Metallica twice now and them being out of their prime and in smaller stadiums they are always still sold out

[@RussianReactionReviews]

I would love to attend

[@michaelchmiel166]

Legend has it that the crowd is still leaving.

[@EltoV]

I was 16 at that time, living in Belgium. Although Reagan and Gorbatsjov declared the Cold War a few years earlier as over, there was still still a bit of distrust about Russia and Russian people here in Europe. Anyways, I watched this concert on TV and I was so impressed by it that I kept thinking: Now the Cold War is really over and this is a celebration of it... It wasn't the government who brought people together, but it was Metallica!

[@brianthompson5672]

I love that you don't stop the video every 10 sec to say a comment. Well done!

[@gatormcklusky5850]

I'm much older then you back in the 1970s/1980s/1990s we had so much fun all concerts were like this Today not so much, younger people missed out on many cool things that no longer happen these days.

[@mattfulgurite4746]

Check out "Domination" by PANTERA from the same show...wow!

[@RussianReactionReviews]

Would you happen to have a link ? I’m reading the comments seems popular

[@mattfulgurite4746]

@@RussianReactionReviews i don't have the exact link; but the best is titled: "Domination live from Moscow 91" pantera

[@nevadagunslinger]

I can give you two videos to react to that involve Russia. First, Aterro Dominatus by Sabaton about the fall of Berlin in WW2, and Night Witches also by Sabaton about the all female Russian 588th bomber wing. Thumbs up if you agree

[@RussianReactionReviews]

Thumbs up and a heart

[@danmcneal9135]

Yes! Sabaton! Very good suggestion! :-)))

[@fuzielectron5172]

The Russian WW II , female pilots were incredible, also in the same vein the female snipers. Incredible stories.

[@nomad1517]

That wasn't just any concert, that was and still is a symbol of freedom from oppression. Even the guards were head banging. Those people needed that shit so bad. Sadly, I believe some people died in that concert, primarily from the guards. That's what I heard.

[@RussianReactionReviews]

How awesome

[@orlandoaabello3274]

wow a little hard rock too

[@knuckletherapyserveothersf6092]

That's what so beautiful about music. It always finds ways to bring people together.

[@ColinPoole]

This made me curious to know what the biggest concert crowd ever was - it turns out there were an estimated 1.6 million people here - which is crazy to see that sea of people and know there are 1.6 million there - but the REALLY fascinating part was that the largest concert crowd ever was also in Moscow but was someone I haven't even heard of (Jean-Michel Jarre) and they claim that his concert had 3.5 million people!! Imagine that crowd in this video being more than TWICE the size! I can't even fathom. Love all your videos! Would also very much love to see ballet movie reaction videos telling us what's real and what is exaggerated for the movie audience!

[@norwegianblue2017]

Jean-Michel Jarre was pretty big in the 70s. One of my first albums as a kid was Oxygene. Still sounds amazing today. It's like the Mozart of electronic music.

[@crhu319]

In China, Jarre was huge

[@RoverWaters]

that is not 1.6 million crowd kid

[@PeterJohnson76]

I think Rod Stewart had crowd of over 5 million once
