There is a retired American baseball player named Mariano Rivera. He played for the New York Yankees. His nickname was "The Sandman." Whenever he entered a game from the bullpen (where relief pitchers stay during baseball games) , "Enter Sandman" was the song the stadium played when he entered games to pitch. Mariano Rivera is the greatest closer in Baseball history and the only baseball player EVER to be voted into the Hall of Fame with an 100% vote. Anyway, when Mariano Rivera announced his retirement Metallica came to Yankee Stadium and performed Enter Sandman Live for Rivera's last game that he pitched in Yankees Stadium. It was epic to have Metallica show up to support his retirement from baseball.
I hate the Yankees but that WAS Epic!
@@terripanzarella6832 I understand the dislike for the Yankees, but there were a couple that were hard to dislike. Mariano Rivera (never showed up hitters after strikeouts), Derek Jeter (just played hard), and Andy Pettitte Came in , pitched, won, & walked off the mound quietly win or lose). I started following the Yankees in 1980. I have been through the good times and the bad--hahaha.
My favorite hitter Edgar Martinez put Mariano Rivera to sleep by hitting him hard.
@@Ozz77765 Even Sox players and most fans respected Rivera. You have no class.
Good recollection, however, I prefer Virginia Tech's entrance to this song. More energy in that stadium
Those soldiers that joined the crowd always puts a smile on my face
Sadly there was also soldiers beating the crap out of people , if you watch the Pantera - primal concrete sledge, version of this concert, you can see the militairy just beating and wailing on people, bottles being thrown and shit , its actually insane to watch
@@Makaveli13Xroy This is a Russian slam, everything is fine) Greetings from Russia)
they were court martialed and punished after.
Russia needs those young people now. Where they. They are the ones allow Putin to do his thing now and they hated being controlled back then yet here we are again.
Creeping Death from this concert is also badass. I love Jason Newsted’s stage presence.
Jason was the best showman and backing vocalist for Metallica.
The moment his hair starts windmills as the music picks up, the entire thing gets set off.
Can you imagine what the thunder created by 1.6 million people stomping and jumping up and down would have sounded like 😂😂😂. I bet people who weren't at the concert thought there was a 4 hour earthquake 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I first saw Metallica at the original Monsters of Rock. They weren't real big yet, and were only about 5th on the setlist (Van Halen and Scorpions were at the top). But after the festival, everyone was talking about Metallica. They absolutely killed it.
Saw that show in Miami
@@bwdubb9898 Cool. I saw it in Los Angeles.
If I remember correctly, it was actually about 6 months *before* the end of the USSR. And yes, 1.6 million. Fully 20% of Moscow's population at the time. 5th biggest concert crowd of all time.
The military were in control because the concert was at an Air Force base.
Некогда не забуду этот концерт. Эти потоки людей идущие к месту. Эту атмосферу. Эти летящие над головой бутылки. Этот угар и единение толпы. Такое забыть не возможно!
1.6 million people and 36 people died in the 3 day concert. It is the biggest concert that has ever been recorded. It was a "MONSTER'S OF ROCK!!" concert
It's not the biggest concert recorded. I suggest you look up biggest crowd for a concert.
Creeping Death from this concert is also AWESOME 🔥🔥🔥🔥
This was absolutely badass. I remember the first time I saw it, looking at that ridiculously massive crowd, thinking “how was Metallica not in absolute shock at the sheer volume of people??” But I’m sure they were already told or peeked out and saw the crowd beforehand and had time to digest it.
The folks that put this concert together severely underestimated the turnout. That's probably why the soldiers were cracking skulls, imagine that many people getting out of hand.
Actually, you can see how james hetfield (the lead singer) looks slightly nervous and disbelieving, when he comes out on stage and sees the crowd, but then shrugs it off like it's nothing. Mad respect for their professionalism.
@@GeneralKenobi03 mad respect, indeed.
Some concerts go down in history and the 1991 'Monsters of Rock' festival in Moscow was no exception. Known as one of the biggest concerts to ever take place, with a huge 1.6 million attendees, it marked the most momentous of performances for the heavy metal band Metallica.Sep 13, 2023
AC/DC, Metallica, Montley Crue, Queensryche, The Black Crows, and of course Pantera. With Metallica bringing in the most fans and longest set list even though AC/DC was headliner. And yes they played Master Of Puppets at this show.
Hands down best cover/reimagining of Enter Sandman is The Warning. It is the first track on Metallicas Black list 30th anniversary album. If Metallica put there name on it you know it's worth a reaction.
And if Ash likes Master Of Puppets you should check out Gamazdas piano cover of it. Will blow your mind that one person can do all of it.
Great. Love watching you guys. Video reaction is always good, but your banter before, during & after never disappoints. Thanks for the work to bring us your content.
I still get chills watching this video. I'm not really a Metallica "fan" anymore but I respect the fuck out of their music and history of it.
I'd argue that the 80's was the best decade for music.
Crazy video thanks for reacting to this epic show. 🤟🤟
FIRE!!!!!!!!!!..Is that a mini-microphone or are you glad to see me? lol
2nd best concert ever imo…. Never forget Queen at Live Aid! But, this did break more records and you can never go wrong with Metallica!
Yeah, science, reading, and crafting!
They show a bit of the violence in the Harvester of Sorrow by Metallica from this concert, nothing graphic, but gives you an idea
A year and a half in the life of Metallica was definitely a thing.
The soldiers are like if you can't beat em join em. Love it. I've seen Metallica 3 times and they kicked my ass all night long❤
This video reminds me how concert now sucks. Now, people just go to concert to record it in their phone.
Texas U.S. Navy Veteran reacting to you two. My family and I were filmed at Ft.Worth Texas Live album 1997 I believe, thank you I love all… 🫠🇺🇸
Can you imagine this concert of, Metallica, AC/DC, The Black Crows and Pantera (R.I.P Abbott brother’s) being the first western concert after the failed August Putsch? This, the Beatles rooftop concert at the Apple Corps, and Woodstock have to be top three for, just kickassedness.
You are right 2 vhs tapes and it was a Year and a Half in the life of Metallica. The first tape was in studio recording the Black Album and the second tape was them on the road and they talk about that show in Moscow.
James cheesin at the end always gets me. What a concert that must have been seein it live wtf METALLICA RULES!
It was on a Russian airfield and they stopped counting at 1.6 million people! Helicopters flew around to keep the people cool! A little over 50 people died over the 3 day concert! BTW,if you're afraid of dying because of WW3, give your life to Jesus Christ and your fear of death dissipates! Paul says "absent from the body, present with the Lord! Great reactions! God bless you both! 😊
I also had the double VHS of A Year and a Half in the Life of Metallica. The clip from this show on that tape was the song Harvester of Sorrow. It featured several live performances of Enter Sandman, just not this particular one. I forgot that video even existed until you mentioned a double VHS. I may have to watch that again, I haven't seen it since the late 1990s.
1.6 Millon People at that Concert!!!🤘
Love it everytime. MUST check Creeping Death from this concert. Really awesome.
Я был на этом концерте. 32 года прошло как один день.
@5:30 I started getting chills and the hair on the back of my neck started to stand up...holy f*ck to be there live.
WOW, now that's a concert!!! 🖖❤
Impressed you know about ~ a year & half in the life ~ going forward when you react to them live take notice when Hammett plays a solo he is giving the finger with his pick hand, SO METAL 🤘
It comes as a surprise to some people that particularly in the east of europe you might see american confederate flags in places. One of the reasons is when the americans were in europe during world war 2, they had confederate flags as well as the stars and stripes, sometimes draped over their vehicles too etc. So literally there are cases where american soldiers donning confederate flags liberates camps etc. Thats the interesting thing about flags, and what they mean to different people. For example, what would the US stars and stripes mean to a native american, or say, a vietnamese person? Or the union jack to the irish and so on.
In any case, this show is legendary in rock history, but so badly managed by the authories that people died at it!
A year a half in the life of metallica what a classic got me hooked too man 🤘🤘🤘
the stage setup was AC/DC's set for the razors edge tour.
Largest concert crowd ever and it was a free show in Moscow. I get nervous talking to more than 5 people.
faulse ...
they are in 5th position ex-aequo
1/ Rod Steward 4.2 M.... 2/ jean michel jarre 3.5 M.... 3/ jorge ben Jor 3 M.... 4/ jean michel jarre again ... 2M.... then the Monsters of Rock tour in 1991 (AC/DC, Metallica, Pantera, Queensryche, and the Black Crowes) with 1.6 M ( metallica not alone )
@@pathibulaire2571 Where was Rod Stewart at that held 4.2M people?
@@alienresearchlab rio de janeiro 1994
@@alienresearchlab rio de janeiro 1994... then jean michel jarre ( 3.5 M ) in moscow in 1997
in 1991 the monster of rock ( with metallica and other groups ) held 1.6, and it was the biggest at that time... but later this number got worse
@@pathibulaire2571 Wow! I stand corrected . Rock on!
Did I hear Jilly's Rockworld Manchester? Fuck yes
1 million people come to see 4 guys. That must be a total mind f. Metallica has lived the craziest life ever - and deservedly so.
closer to 2 million than 1 million people!
Nice reaction
This was right after the fall of the Iron Curtain. That crowd is insane.
A few people showed up for this concert after work.
"dick" ...you two are fantastic. ive never been in a crowd this large... how the earth must have felt. Metallica Quake? Love these reacts. Gives a better end to a long arse day.
love you say it i hade that vhs to
The original video has about 5 minutes of them with Russian protesters then film of an attack on russian tanks that were trapped on a freeway.They stacked buses 20 deep on bothe ends of the hwy..& the tanks couldn't get out. The last thing you see is tanks being attacked with Molotov cocktails & burning up. Absolute history in front of your Eyes.
LEGEND HAS IT PEOPLE ARE STILL LEAVING THE GIG.
When I first saw this (in the 90's) all I could think is I wanted to be there... now, in my mid 50's all i can think is how far away the bathrooms must be. When they showed it back then the said the helicopters were to "calm" the crowd. I don't think I appreciated that this was thee 1st open air concert, that it was more than a concert after the oppressive situation the country had been under and the helicopters probably felt more like a threat. I can't imagine as a performer you'd ever duplicate the adrenaline rush. The big hair metal bands were unmatched in the 90's.
and it was a free concert
Was probably the Mexico show. I had that tape years ago
Thanks for your reaction. You think it's a big crowd ?--in this video, we only see the part facing the stage. Want to see it all and what happened at the start of this show ?--look for Monsters of rock, Moscow 1991--riots during the show--but it's a bit bloody, I warn you. For another good performance from Metallica, try Master of Puppets from the Québec Magnetic show--I chose this one, because I was there for the whole show and the interaction with the crowd was amazing. Have a nice day, both of you.
Hell yea
One. 6 million fan for there. 3:29
Highly recommend that you check out Versailles Aristocrats Symphony live Holy Grail
And Aldious Dominator live Radiant A O East
IIRC - You'll see some of the military violence you were talking about if you watch Harvester of Sorrow from this concert.
1 million people showed up for this show
I believe you saw the 2 vhs Live:Binge, Shit,Purge box you saw from
1,600,000 fans were there
Remember, this was the end of the Soviet Union and they aren't used to freedom, rock n roll and all that.🤠😎
There's an ancient Vulcan saying, only Nixon could go to China, and only Metallica could go to Moscow. The second part is often forgotten.
I forget which company James Hetfield said paid for this concert but I think was one of the US cable companies. I guess they were trying to break into the newly opened Russian market and wasn't expecting so many people to show up.
I think you are right Dave, I borrowed A Year and a Half in the Life of Metallica from the library and remember all kinds of crazy from this concert in the documentary. I'm sure that documentary is posted somewhere online, I recommend watching it, I probably signed it out three or four times from the library 😅
I'm a little older so I like 80s metal the best. By the 90s Metallica was moving in the wrong direction in my opinion. Then again Megadeth became perfect in the 90s ...... and I like Pantera, and I think Meshuggah were kicking off around then. Well I change my vote to the 80s and 90s were best 😂
i was a owner for that vhs to iv got
Please check out the historical history of this concert! They couldn’t listen to this music in those days or they could be arrested! The fall of the Berlin Wall!

the song Enter Sandman actually came out in 91'
IIRC, this concert was held at the end of the September before the USSR formally dissolved in December (1991). The tour (Monsters of Rock) came through Mainz, Germany, earlier in the month. I remember The Black Crowes, Queensryche, Motley Crue, Metallica and AC/DC came to a nearby airbase -- but it wasn't quite as crowded as this one. =P (Germany would celebrate the first anniversary of its reunification in October. We'd all grown up referring to West and East Germany, so it was more than a little strange to see the world changing so quickly. Russians moshing to Metallica?! WT unholy F?!)
You forgot about Pantera among those bands.
A concert that never will happen again
60+ people died during the festival. It was still (for a few months) the USSR. The hard line communist party members tried to take over the Gorbachev regime but failed. However, the USSR would collapse within months. The Warsaw pact countries first and then the Soviet ruling party finally. However, it should be considered that Gorbachev and Yeltsin had to struggle greatly to hold back hard line party members. Putin, a strong supporter of the hard line party ended up in power. He had been a brutal KGB supervisor.
Just try and pull a concert off like that today.
I was hoping the office blokes responded to this one. Way better than fade to black
That was an epic show. That song from their "black" album was the one that sent them in the stratosphere! After the epic Masters of Puppets it wasn't easy to come back from that. Lot of older fans like me thought that it was too commercial and that album was sh**, but years later I now realise how great of an album it is. They needed the change so they could move on. When Cliff Burton died (bass) they simply couldn't play the same. Good for them.
More than 1.6 million people, and 60
people died there.
The reason the army was there is because every event (doesn't matter the country) that gatters a huge amount of people, to the police department is a nightmare, they call it a "high risk" event, and all concerts and sports venues like that with 80,000 to 150,000 people is high risk in security. But when you are talking about 1,600,000 people... there's no police department in any city that can handle that shit. National Guard has to come.
Officers down 😂 😂
You may be talking about the documentary that they created called some kind of monster
Listen to more music, Dave, it's good for you. Who Live At Leeds, Purple Made In Japan, Zeppelin Song Remains The Same .. '90s bands were the bastard children of those legends.
Just think about anything that's going on now in the world. 1 million soldiers in one place. Wouldn't happen. Ever. This is just 1mil normal people and apparently ex-soldiers rockin out. You have about prob 2k military/guards at most. Probably more like a couple hundred (hard to tell). More people in the audience than some countries have citizens. A beautiful thing really. In the end, music and comedy bring us back as one.
I've never heard of the military beating people. I've only seen the military joining in the fun like in this video
I know what Dave is talking about. I almost want to say it's shown when they played "Harvester of Sorrow" at this show, but I could be wrong. But I do remember seeing the Army or the police beating the fans with batons.
**Edit** Yep, found it:
ua-cam.com/video/R22xm1PTBL8/v-deo.htmlsi=cXbVH1zilW6JtVNi
Wasn't at the beginning (nor enter sandman, neither creeping death), was at almost the end of their setlist of that show, that was only 1 hour btw. James and Kirk told in interviews how the chopper went down and screamed to the people to stop while they were playing, army has to interfiere.
@@LuisRdzG10 wow. That's crazy. I thought the chopper was just there to push air flow down onto the people because of the way they were all packed in
@@Longhauler85 crazy
Im 52... mosh pit is the best!
1.6million
Why I like the fact weed is legal in my state...I have zero anxiety lol. You are correct they had the military come in provide "security" aka beat the shit out of people.
Enjoyed your videos friends. Please react to Under the Graveyard by Ozzy Osborne. It tells how his wife Sharon saved his life, also the song/video is 🔥

@@Mo-ec1we Ozzy played in USSR two years prior to this concert.
There is a myth that people died at the concert which is false.
There were some injuries which is pretty amazing that it was that little considering.
The Soviet would officially fall months later.
The Confederate Flag is there because I'm sure they thought it was a another American flag.
In the background the Union Jack is also flying.
Image if that crowd really wanted to rush the stage. The military personnel wouldn't have stood a chance.
I'm not saying beating people was ok but I'm sure the soldiers were a bit terrified of what would happen if things kicked off.
