Love how Cliff was so happy when playing. He looks up to the crowd and starts smiling. Wish he was still here
Definitely wonder what today’s Metallica would’ve been like if he was still here. I know he influenced a lot of the songs. I mean his bass works is just out of this world.
Metallica iron madien
We probably don’t have the late 90’s Metallica aka Load/Reload and St Anger and there is also no One with probably a higher amount of bass in Metallica things would be very different
You an I both.
Don't be sad that he is gone! be happy that he existed!
At 1:23 the video focuses on Cliff and directs to the sky.
*(sad bass noises)*
Maybe a Time traveler went there and recorded the video like that bc of what happens to him
Interesting to see these kind of coincidences. I believe there are some evident signs of what's gonna happen in the future in our everyday life, even if they are subtle to catch and understand
The cameraman killed Cliff!
@@paulzenco6182 omg 🤣🤣😭
That's creepy and sad all at once
3:27 that’s the look of perfect harmony and determination, Cliff was at his happiest at this moment he thought “this is really happening and this is gonna be my entire life from now on”. As a fellow musician that’s all we strive for R.I.P Cliff
Yes. Those of us that somewhat enjoy our work are a blessed bunch.
RIP
it was gonna be his entire life from then on
Fuck man, Cliff was absolutely robbed of his life. So tragic.
I wish to be him happy enjoy life and the music making thousands of people happy. And being very talented RIP to the best metal bassist
RIP Cliff Burton, one of the best bassists to ever walk this earth
Thee greatest bass player to Rome god's green and blue planet
I don’t think he ever walked the earth , he levitated
How much gain do you want?
James: no
Sometimes more gain makes the sound a shit
@@diegogomez6835 yeah... but too little sounds funky also...
Well, yeah, in that concert sound more like hard rock, but good anyways ;DD
😂
When they are mixing the tapes to mute all the crown noises, all the instruments are effected, but the thing is that is a very rare video.
James voice has more distortion than his guitar 😂
NAJ Productions Well at least then we can hear the bass.
😄😄
@@prometheustv6558 I don't even mind how you can't hear Kirk during the solo, Cliff really stole the show on this one.
I played one of these shows, your amp simply isnt distorting. The playing shines through though.
The monitors are miked!!! That's why it sounds like that....
I am 80 years old and am never tired of listening to them - they have a unique style and unbelievable arrangements. The singer is exceptional - their music will live on forever.
Rock on my good sir
@@laurajones9821 thanks,🥰🥰🥰please subscribe to my youtube channel and enjoy the great
You sound cool as shit, someone hit the grandpa lottery and has a super cool grandfather lol.
Respect, sir !!!
He said in his other comments on his channel that his dad use to sing "For Whom The Bell Tolls" to him as a child. I think he's full of 💩
RIP Cliff Burton (February 10, 1962 - September 27, 1986), aged 24
You will be remembered as a legend.
💋😍🤘🤘
❤
It's so weird that he was only 24 years old. As a 15 y/o at the time I thought they were old. Now, at soon 52, fuck, 24, that's just a kid.
@@hakkenarsk Exactly! Just a bunch of kids that turned out to be in the biggest metal band in the world.
@@INeverWanted2010very true! kids who changed metal forever more since ‘83 with KEA I mean when that album came out cliff was just 21 i think Kirk was 20 and Lars and James pretty sure was just 19! Literally 4 musical kids givin the opportunity of a lifetime! I’m 20 currently laying in my bed at 11:34pm boy do I feel accomplished right now😂😂
I absolutely love how we can mainly hear Cliff’s bass. It’s so freaking awesome.
Looks like a great setlist.
Creeping Death is a perfect opening song, and they have a few slower songs here and there so that there is a bit of a recovery from the faster songs.
The way it was meant to be.
Because it's Cliff'em All
Bruh i dont hear it at all
rip cliff burton
It's not everyday that the bass player gets the attention
Cause its Cliff Fucking Burton man, cliff deserves all the attention
It's not everyday you have a Cliff Burton as bass player.
PugShroom How About Flea from rhcp?!?
Pugen dude your profile pic I'm dying
thats like 3 bassist out of 30 000
One of Metallica's greatest moments the time when James and Cliff start headbanging simultaneously at 4:55
I like to think about 30000 dudes joined in.
0:29
You don't get to see that much these days
Fuck yea
muito foda vsf
Cliff sounds terrific, what an amazing bass player we lost.
60,000 people there that day. I am proud to have been one of them!
lucky
So lucky
Fuck me 60,000 is a lot, I have never seen above 10,000. 60,000 is a third of the entire population of my region.
What a lucky fuck
60K people yet the crowd seemed quiet. But it must be because of how that stadium was. Seems like this was one of the best possible shows you can ever go to!
3:24 The genuine emotion on Cliff's face from seeing the audience makes me so happy
God rest his soul
He just wanted to bass. Why did god take that away from him?
He just was too perfect for us
bruh moment
Why do you blame God for his death? Do you blame God for Hendrix and Cobain’s deaths?
@@jumbobagginsjellogo4475 I don't blame God, I'd say it's just faith and life
I seriously cannot go a day without listening to at least one Metallica song! The way they do metal makes me happy they're still around!
Fucking same!!!
It's been 35 years and everyone still missing you, Cliff. Rest in power
Don’t worry the 80’s will be here in 60 years
And be full of fuckboys with so much autotune it might as well not be them singing but instead a damn robot. And have shit meaningless lyrics
And Technology will take over even more and people will be lazy they will have the robot do it for them and everything will suck
And cameras with quality so clear that you get blind
And i'll be in my 70s early 80s
@@rockmetalhead7680 me too
When I was young we had Cliff Em' All on VHS and watched it till it almost wore out. Can't believe I can watch the whole concert on YT now. Very excited.
I knew I would see you here
THE ART OF METALLICA IS HERE!!!!
😂😂😂
Ha that’s cool- his guitar sounds like he’s playing through one of those Marshall battery powered amps though
Yeahh I had it on vhs it was awesome to be able to watch live Metallica whenever you wanted
Wait how do you watch the whole concert?
It´s too sad knowing that Cliff didn´t live enough to see how gigantic Metallica became through the following years until today, and always remembering him as part of band´s sucess and history.
Yeah but Metallica was at the top of the heap of the “underground”music scene by this point. Anyone into any kind of subversive music styles had mad respect for metallica around ‘85 even if they weren’t as big in mainstream as they later become
The band was huge when he was alive, can you not see the massive crown they are playing to?
@@mind5403 yeah, but how about Monsters of Rock 1991? Woodstock 1999?
He knows trust me he does !
I think he knows and so does James.
37 years later, they are still the greatest heavy metal/thrash band in the world.
Lol
@@oshikiri.nikko-desu02 why the lol? Don't be a hater bro.
I was definitely head banging at 5 days old when this was happening
SLAYER
@@wizard_bunny slayer retired 6 years ago. So therefore it's Metallica. sad but true. 🤘🤘
1:29 "Take a look to the sky..." oh, wait, wrong song
lautAA LOL
Yeah wrong song. This is not "For Whom The Bell Tolls"
V3N0M you're smart kid
lol smart
Clever pick up but have you seen a Metallica lyric song list............You need be the equivalent of Albert Einstein remember all that.
James and cliff headbanging at the same time look really rad 4:51
Pure awesomeness.
Someone needs to make that into a GIF
You know the rythm section is good when they headbang together
Even more badass at 0:30
True brotherhood
I love the bass line starting at 2:39. So underrated.
cliff was a fkin beast on the bass
it’s super fun to play as well
Definitely is, I’m just noticing it’s greatness.
It's very Iron Maiden-style!
Cliff's death was the biggest early loss in music history... I used to think how many epic songs we lost with his departure 😢 RIP legend!
HOLY SHIT CLIFFS HEADBANGING IS CRAZY
Thomas Hindmarsh like no one else can he was the master
Thomas Hindmarsh in the words of Scott Ian cliffs headbanging on stage was legendary no one banged like him
In my opinion, his headbanging is up there with Angus Young.
Have you guys even heard of CORPSEGRINDER?
ali dx pardon me? ....no I haven't heard of corpse grinder. and don't really care either. the fact that you would compare some no name grind core or whatever band and
their headbanging to cliff Burton is an insult and disrespectful.
1:28 someone gave the cameraman the beer he ordered.
+Syn het jajaja!
jajajaja sure of that
+Syn het LOL
+Syn het He was trying to see the lightning
he wanted to film the lightning while it was headbanging
Who else gets chills watching Cliff bass..... my phantom lord he is the best
2:40 one of the heaviest riff ever by James.
i dont know who own thid but mechanix' intro feels same too
That's cliff
@@mehmetunal9731 it's a i-VI-III-iv progression, pretty common in many songs
I skipped football practice in high school to see this show. it was worth every bit of extra running I had to do.
Right desicion
Right decision definitely
Hearing James scream like a maniac and then hearing how weak the intro sounds is the funniest fucking thing
It is lol
I laughed out loud
well im sure its cus of the recording but lol yea
Kirk's guitar is almost completely cut off from this recording, you can barely hear it
You must be young. It was like this in the VHS era.
4:56 bro this moment is legendary cliff and James are head banging simultaneously. Beautiful R.I.P CLIFF BURTON
Cliff could make a bass guitar sing beautifully.... never known anything like it until I saw him do it live.... genius... r.i.p. cliff
One fun thing about it nobody now actually knows what the heck Cliff actually played Because He was so skilled really he would vary it all the time.
People today even f they try to play whats on the records they more often than not mess it up or miss half of it.
all i have to say about him is when ever you can watch something like this, Just sit back chill and enjoy it for what it really is.
I'm sorry but the "OH YEAH" In the beginning makes me laugh or smile EVERY time. James' puberty voice was great
Cliffs headbanging should be in the Guinness book of records
He was 22 here. Some 5 years after the end of puberty. You could call it his young maturity voice.
At that time, it was the voice of pure thrash metal
Makes me laugh because James is so loud and then his Explorer makes very little noise
The guy was in his twenties tho 😂
omg that bass is so loud! we can hear it perfectly even live
Wish we could say the same those days :'(
Manoel Ferraz great to hear cliff
wouldn't say its loud, its audible but the mix is not really bass guitar heavy
Actually about 1:58 you can finally hear it where it should be in the mix
Of course it's Cliff Burton
This era of Metallica will always be the example and best form of the band.
Its really intresting watching james's vocals progress and get more powerfull as his career went on
From all right to OH YEAH!!!
This performance it's amazing and raw. I think this and the justice era 87/88 are their peak.
0:30 As a metalhead from the 80's, you can't imagine what this means to people like me.
Absolutely sentimental I feel you man
Wish I sas born earlier
and me! back in the day, \m/
My dad loves this music, and I am so glad he introduced me to this music.
Seeing Cliff and James headbang in sync...god bless them
credit to the camera man... one of the best CLIFF footage out there...
Also camera man 1:29
What a pleasure it is to be able to see the consummate bassist Cliff Burton shine on stage with his bandmates. RIP Cliff! We still love you!!
Cliff’s backing vocal is so powerful. Watching him so confident and happy playing with his band in front of so many people is wonderful. Still love you Cliff.
4:54 metalhead friend goals
dude seriously
No he isn't
Yup...
Yep
dude yes
MY GOD. POST PLEASE FOUR HORSEMAN
+Макаренко Егор It wasn't filmed.
+MetallicaTV Sad. But was something else filmed?
+MetallicaTV why you only have bad quality Cliff films????? go fuck 80's didn't have too bad camera quality
+Manoel Ferraz Things were shot on video tape back then. We'd think you'd be happy just to see something rare... apparently not.
+MetallicaTV dont listen to him!! I would've loved to see four horsemen, but this is so good too!!
Qué grande Cliff, cada vez que le veo ahii tan joven, se me saltan las lágrimas....Cliff forever..!!!!
Cliff seems like the pure energy of the band at this moment. Anytime the camera pans his way your eyes can’t help but look at him
3:24 He must have felt like he was on the top of the world, that smile...
Miss you Cliff🎸🤘
Someone cutting onions in here...
We should all take that much pleasure in our work. If only it were possible.
No one headbangs like Cliff. Jesus Christ...
Ummm ... Jason Newsted?
Cliff Burton=Jesus Christ
Only Jason Newsted can
Craig Jones wants to know your location
Cliffs foreshadowed death oh no rip cliff best bassist ever can make his bass into a guitar
Seen the band around this time. Small indoor club. Right after someone dropped Ride the Lightning on my desk and said "listen to this". Great timing having the album and a concert 100 miles away in El Paso. Great times.
Never got to see them live with Cliff. Great musician, person in general by all accounts, and that mop, almost endlessly through the whole song just moving. Just masterful all around.
I wish I could watch this entire show with the camera focused on Cliff the entire time
MoveitorLoseit2 I wish I was there and not born in 2002
Prabhden Singh i understand u bro i was born in fucking 2003
StansiSprasky the pain...
Prabhden Singh Sad but true man
So do I😢
1:28 Cameraman; "Wow look at the cloud!!! Ok now band to the band"
HeyTray1 it was a good cloud
Day On The Green is easily my favorite live of Metallica, all of the songs in this live are just such good songs of Metallica's 2nd (second) album "Ride The Light", my favorite part of this live is James Hetfield's voice and the presence of Clifford Lee Burton (Cliff Burton). Long live Metallica 🤘👍
On March 5, 1985 (the day before my 18th birthday) I saw Metallica at the Rainbow Music Hall in Denver. In September of 1986, Cliff Burton was killed in Sweden when the band's bus crashed. I've been asked a few times over the years what concert I would want to see if I had a time machine, and I realize it's that one. I'd love to go back in time and see the show again and appreciate Cliff.
wow cliff is amazing to watch !!!
I was just thinking about that. what a crazy ass bass player he was. speed, charisma damn. we miss him...
He was so damw hot!
He was a show all to himself.
1:45 Cliff when arrived to the heaven
Dios es gay True
wtf is wrong for you for real, are you actually using someone's death to implicate a non funny joke which is total disrespect to a dead or alive person
Gabi Francis estas pendeja
Огњен shut the fuck up pussy you’re probably 14
@Огњен bruh, chill...
This is best live version ive ever heard of this song
This is awesome! And...... I was lucky enough to have seen Cliff with Metallica at Pine Knob in Michigan opening for Ozzy in July of 86 I think it was... it was unreal! Me and a buddy were on Cliff's side of the stage. We were standing on the seats about 20 feet away from him relishing the moment. I can tell you.... Metallica upstaged Ozzy that night.. we didn't want it to end. I still recall it like it damn near yesterday, it left that much of an imprint on me and my friend. Thank you Metallica and rip Cliff. We love you.
I was there that day I was fifteen years old. first thing James said was, if your here to see spandex and hair spray your in the wrong fucking place!!! I'm forty six years old now and I will never forget that.
Michael walker badass!!
Michael walker what was the crowd like. Energetic and thrashy?
_Yes, Anti-Motley Crue, Anti-Ratt_
5:26 Camera looks at Lars and Cliff Blocks Him.
Be good if there were proper drum cams of Lars in this era.
russkate88 fr
cliff: tf u lookin at lars for?
na i love lars tho
Off topic, you can see the old classic glass Gatorade bottle by Lars’ side. Old School.
Thanks to this song and For Whom Bell Tolls Cliff is my favorite bass player, thanks to Cliff Metallica is a great group, the live the Kill 'Em All, the Ride The Lightning and the precious Master Of Puppets. Thanks Cliff
At 0.33 James and Cliff head banging is awesome. they are in perfect sync. It’s a wonderful scene that excites me everytime. I like to interpret it as a symbol of their deep friendship. these guys express all the joy they feel when they are on stage playing their incredible music. I miss so much this crazy red haired guy head banging tirelessly
Love you forever Cliff..
Now playing: Cliff Burton. Ft. Metallica 😁
I can barely hear him first
No dark, no pyro, no light show. Metallica '85. The only metal band ever capable of raising this much hell in the bright light of the day.
Monsters of Rock
Alguien mas escuchando este rolon en 2024? La era de cliff fue la mejor de la historia de metallica.😢
I wish I was born in these times to see bands like metallica and just see them grow. I hope I can make it to a show this year!
3:24 - "Cliff light show"⚡ right there! - his smile- looks SO genuinely happy doing what he loves. My God, this man was such a gift to us...
I want to be born in the 80's. I miss the golden era of Metallica.
Jacky Din
I was born the same year they formed, 1981.
the band actually formed in late 1980... demo's started coming out in 81 with live gigs....
moparlover82 no, formed in late 1981, demos came in 1982
If you wanted the golden age of Metallica, I'd say late 80's early 90's would be your best shot. If you wanted to see Cliff though, yeah, early 80's then.
If you were born in the 80's you'll be enjoying Metallica in the middle of 90's.
Fans: Show us Cliff!
Camera Man: 1:30
Best show I ever saw. Best bands ever. Insane crowd. Show ill never forget.
James hair looks like microwaveable ramen. It's awesome.
LIKEWISE! TO THIS DAY, I, STILL, DO NOT KNOW WHY HE CUT IT LATER? In my opinion, he, as well as the rest of the band, looked A LOT BETTER when they had "long, rocker" hair! Also, in my opinion, by having long hair, it "matched the music" they played.
+AngelofAnguish he is old now, there's not enough hair to look cool as the 80's.. sad
Now I'm hungry.
It is microwavable ramen. He glued it to his fucking scalp.
I'm dead hahahahha
RIP Cliff. 30 years today. Still miss ya.
This video gave me the chilly bumps. I really like this song!
One of the things I’ve always loved about Metallica with their first three albums was how much they included cliff and gave him so many opportunities to show his talent. I.E. Orion or pulling teeth
Damn, Cliff had such a stage presence
Jason is often credited as the bassist with the most stage presence, but damn Cliff had an energy about him on stage that no one else had or has. Looked like he was having the time of his life on stage.
Cliff definitely had better stage presence and passion than Jason, and I like his style of playing and how his fingers danced across those strings..the original four horsemen.
@@Wolfoe-ex2jj he has been often copied by other heavy metal bassists with his bass style & his energy on stage
The bassist You are talking about is no other but the god itself....... Steve harris

No matter how often I watch it, it's always amazing.
I agree
Watching cliff and James headbang together brings a tear to my eye 😥
I am 23 years old and when i hear IT that Bring me the Energy that i never have in my live before
This intro alone shows why Metallica is the greatest band of all time!
Why is no one talking about Cliff's awesome scream at 2:24
Cuz it's a yell, not a scream, dumbass.
How did I not notice?
@@MrParkerman6 lmfao😂😂😂😂😂
Allan S.
Everyone probably would if only it was on camera
The retard rocket, jason used to actually swallow it, looked like it anyway
I once showed my 10-year old brother a video of Cliff playing. He asked me, "Why is he wearing a mop on his head?"
+Chris Perri He's a big Kanye fan.
If he said "mop" on Cliff's hair I wonder what is he gonna say on some huge afros...
I heard exorcism is a successful solution on such cases
Master of puppets?
Hi
Give Kirk props for always delivering the goods when it comes to his guitar solos over Hetfields riffs. Kirk pretty much note for note plays the solos just like it was recorded on the albums and that's what fans love to hear and SEE when checking out their favorite band play live in concert. Good job guys!
That's Satriani Surfing the Unknown
Thanks for all for this good vid.. 🤘
Anyone else noticed that cliffs bass got louder around the 1:55 mark?
sí. de hecho te das cuenta que sin eñ bajo se escucha horrible
+Ariel Paniagua yes, I also noticed that.
Yes that was awesome. Should have been like that the whole song. I wish the cam focused on Cliff when he yelled DIIIIIEEEEEOWWWWW into the other mic at 2:24
yes

1:28 yep.. those are clouds
xD

3:30 just pause Cliff's face at this moment, he looked really happy
The only explanation for Cliff being taken from this earth is that God needed more thunder in his choir of angels.
2:23 Cliff's backup scream
venrakdrake a
On the recording lars did a super high screech with his voice
Fits perfectly but when heard on its own it's super funny
Sounds exactly like his wah fuzz
Not to mention his bass behind it
Lmao it just made my day
4:55 looks so badass when james and cliff headbang at the sametime
yep
I love seeing the synchronicity when James and Cliff headbang
Invaluable footage. We are lucky to have this available to view.
Me when Kirk's solo came up: 4:51
RandomGamer_32 😂😂
Can’t Focking hear you
holy shit thats so funny
Lmaoo 💀💀💀
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
i never see kirk getting enough credit. he nailed that solo.
Genesis H agreed the sound just got super fucked it cuts down james vocals and kirks solo :(
he wasn't on time at a moment so technically we can't say that he nailed it, he quite nailed it
What solo?
They just recorded it so you'd have to imagine how precise they have it at this point when you didn't have pro tools or fl studio
The guy is a Fuckin surgeon with a six string...
Клифф, конечно, гениальный басист.Мы ещё не можем осознать,кого мы потеряли.Легенда.
I watch this over and over
Cliff’s head banging skills are otherworldly. I mean, the variations in speed are incredible. In 0:37 you got fast Cliff, and in 3:33 you got slowmo Cliff. Most importantly, he never stopped head banging 🤘🏼 Freaking legend.
During recording Metallica said that headphones never stayed on him and he would take his bass into another room and you would see his hair going and Lars added once the music started he started headbanging
@@gabifrancis7414 as someone who plays bass, headbangs and hates headphones when playing, I understand 100%. On top of what you said, i heard that it always made recording the bass tracks 10x harder
Yea thats incredible but his hacking vocals are really underlooked, for example 02:22
@@vio-lence7267 hahahahahaha he’s awesome!
DuckyWuzHere - I’ve never noticed a microphone there all these years lmao
