The organizer of the festival spoke about its insane scale, estimating the number of listeners at 600,000 people. “People came from all over the country. We spent the night in the Tushino field in the rain. I arrive at Tushino at ten in the morning, and I feel unwell. Because I see just a human sea. Sea! I think: "Mom dear." And the police don’t know what to do,” he said. “I stood on the stage and could not understand how many people. The police said 400 thousand. There was a feeling that there were 600 thousand, ”Zosimov added.

i remember after the fall of the USSR I got my first audio tape recorder. My grandma gave me some money as a gift and I went and bought an audio cassette with Metallica. It had "...and justice for all" on the one side and "Master of Puppets" on the other side. That night was sleepless night! Oh boy, this 14 years old Soviet kid was listening over and over again under the blanket his first Metallica music! It was mesmerizing! It was new! It used to be forbidden and now you can listen to it! On the other hand my friends, I think it's not ever, yet! I think Putin (KGB) want's to regain control not only over former republics and take away their freedom, but take more, it it's possible. Now, I've been American for a while now. Once thing that always stick in my mind is a car sticker which I first saw in America that touched my heart, "FREEDOM IS NOT FREE!"

Only the second time the old communist regime was exposed to western music. The line-up was the best of the best of what russians could only buy on the black market for decades: AC/DC, Metallica and Mötley Crüe. Crüe already paved the way during Moskou Peace Fest a couple of years before with Scorpions and Bon Jovi. That show had an attendance of roughly 850K. Even crazier if you know the wall was still up back then.

Even in crowds this big there were rules you followed to keep everyone safe. If someone was in trouble you helped. When we went to concerts you watched everyone around you not just the people you came with. If something got started we stopped it. We all kept each other safe. Which is why we don't understand people getting killed at one of today's mini concerts. Music today is nothing compared to music then and no nobody was killed during this concert.

For every one of ME, there are probably a thousand drummers better, but I have given 40 years of my life to learning and perfecting new drumming skills, including a couple of Mike Portnoy's drum videos.

Love your reaction and the fact that you're too young to understand the times these people were living in. The iron grip of the Soviet Union had collapsed. For the first time in their lives they were free to go and do something without fear of being jailed for acting "free". Most of the military there were in the audience rocking out and loosing their shit right along with the rest. The whole thing was a massive release of a lifetime of pent up emotion and longing to let themselves go completely.

About 300 thousand spectators came and came from other cities to the concert with the participation of PANTHERA, BLACK CROSE, METALLIKA, AS / DS and our EST. This concert was guarded by 11 thousand people: police, riot police, internal troops, rifle divisions of the Soviet Army. When the first bottles fell on their heads and two soldiers were taken away by an ambulance, angry law enforcement officers began to rush at anyone they did not like, beating people with their hands, feet and clubs. The space in front of the stage literally turned into a bloody battle that did not stop from the very beginning of the concert until midnight. According to the ambulance station, 56 people were taken to hospitals with serious injuries, of which 16 were military personnel.Oleg PSHENICHNY Photo by L. LAZAREV "Horizon №12'1991

PA systems for this type of event have delay towers. They are spread out in rows throughout the audience space. Its those scaffold towers you see spread around. Each tower has a huge stack of PA speakers on it. Each tower is also electronically delay timed to the original line of the speakers on the stage, to prevent it sounding like an echo. On shows of this scale, it can take weeks to load-in all the gear. It takes a lot of smart people, and a lot of hard work to make it all happen.

This was the final moments before the Soviet Union collapsed. These young people, who were forbidden from listening to banned music from the West, made a lot of effort and took a lot of risk to covertly listen to poor quality "bootleg tapes" of Western music. This moment is filled with the spirit of change and the lifting of oppression that was soon to be. That is the "drug" these people are on, sir. The drug of freedom. With this in mind, I suggest you re-watch this event and understand what it is you are looking at.

Actually it was NOT. It was AFTER the wall fell. Read this long comment I wrote to another some time ago to REALLY learn more. I am pretty sure that the Danish foreign office in Denmark and former USSR were involved. Lars Ulrich was already a famous Dane at that time and Metallica have recorded albums in Denmark etc etc. He has many friends here and Denmark has been used to dealing with USSR on more informal and/or sensitive matters where none of the parties (USSR/USA) wanted a high level dialogue. Look at Danish geo position in relation to USSR and maybe you can understand we had quite a bit of hands on experience during the cold war. Gorbachow promoted Glasnost and Perestrojka and thus we here liked to take the hand reached out and used it to test if there were a true dialogue wish internally and externally. Therefore it made sense that Denmark gave a helping hand in facilitating dialogue around a "first" western concert. Look into it. It is more than a rumor. Look hard though, it is before YT was invented. Gorbachow KNEW USSR´s fiances was unsustainable so they needed either to live of potatoes or start trading with others to survive. The Berlin wall collapsed in 1989, so this concert less than two years after the collapse. One of the causes for the timing of the collapse actually was the maintenance of the Berlin wall and the other borders along the iron curtain. Honecker had, like some other nations (like Hungary) had issues with old technology and maintenance costs and had told Moscow they needed funding to upgrade/maintain border security. Problem was that Gorbachow, as the first ever, declined the request (he simply did not have the money) and told them to find the money themselves. NOW, if you know anything about these communist satellite states at the time, they also were de facto broke. This concert was thus, at the time, a test, both internally and externally. Gorbachow also wanted the Russian people to understand that new times were coming and by allowing this, he symbolically and in reality showed a change. You have never in 200 years seen so many civilians gathered in Russia without it being connected to revolutions or dissatisfaction. It was a win for Gorbachow as well. So big a public win that it later was part of the reason the "old garde in Kremlin" abducted Gorbachow for several days and caused an internal and external crisis. GUESS who was watching this as a GRU agent stationed in East Germany....PUTIN! The old garde in kremlin eventually made a fake democracy and got Putin as leader. Sad story in the end. And Putin eventually ended up being part of the coup that brought Trump in the WH. Crazy world. Only political interested that dont recognize this are the hard core right wing republicans in USA. Man, it is a strange way to watch a political win, end of the cold war, be wasted like that. Putin and Xi are laughing their asses of when looking at USA today. Anyway, hope you enjoyed I drizzled some knowledge upon this. Here are 6 "quality of life" minutes from some other Danes making music related to US: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m5_YgHSoesukfdE
