@@internallycombusted1This song isn't kinda weird to play. It's an absolute pleasure to play. I've played it for years in a Metallica tribute band, and we didn't need to stand close together to perform the song well. Consider that Metallica have been playing this song livd for nearly forty years. They can do it in thier sleep. Metallica have chosen this 'huddle up' thing as a visual treat for the fans. That's all.
I completely disagree. I was standing on the opposite side of the stage and I couldn’t see them at all. They should be spreading out or getting a smaller stage or a better designed one
I just love these guys so much. They were my first musical shock, way back when I was 13-14. I remember listening to the MOP album 3 times in a row when I discovered it, because of how shocked I was because of how good it was (I had never heard more than GN'R at that point, as far as metal goes). Today I'm 40+, and after decades of metal journey into more extreme territories, I've come to the conclusion that these guys are just my favorites. I always take huge pleasure in seeing and hearing them perform. The songwriting is fantastic, the drums are excellently written and performed (Lars always managed to bring excitement to his parts), just a fucken incredible band, and this is an incredible song. Thank you guys.
I think he's smiling about the shape of Kirk's solo. And how to disagree? He never played that well, live. I think it was about a thought as "I kwew he got it".
@@jd0879 Wanna elaborate? I'm talking about the tightness and punchiness of the snare for example, and how well they've been mic'd and mixed. He's also playing pretty damn well in my opinion, and I know he has a somewhat notorious reputation as a 'bad' drummer amongst some.
@@andyjm7122 I went to the Finland and Amsterdam shows, i am vouch for Lars here, the drums sounded immaculate on all four shows. He was on point the whole time, certainly wasn’t overdubbed either. People who don’t go to the shows tend to hold this opinion that everything’s dubbed or altered in post. Totally not the case
I remember how the whole stadium just cheered when the band kicked in, people around me were even singing the melody of the main riff. Awesome audience, great show
Perfect Orion, it means constellation in the area of the celestial equator. This is one of the most visible and recognizable constellations in the night sky. His brightest stars are the red Betelgeuse (alpha Orion) and the white-blue Rigel (beta Orion).
I've been listening since 1981, I've seen them live twice at the Cow Palace, San Francisco and Reno, Nevada...but this is without a doubt the best Metallica video I've ever seen. Camera angles, enthusiasm, sound quality, band energy, etc. WOW!!
5:25 James going "Oh Yeah!" while enjoying that harmony part is priceless! they are having the times of their lives with each performance, and so are we!
I love when they play instrumentals. You can tell James is having the most fun during those songs, probably 'cause he can forget about singing and fully concentrate on the instrument.
Just got back from the Edmonton show last night and they played it here too. Nobody does it like these 4. Metallica FOREVER! CLIFF BURTON FOREVER! ♥️⚡️
Entre los 4 suman 240 años, y le pasan la mano por la cara a CUALQUIER banda actual. Más de 40 años de carrera y siguen sintiendo la música como en el primer ensayo. Viven para tocar, y se nota. LONG LIVE METALLICA
I was just playing this on guitar last week. Some Metallica songs are super difficult, but Orion is very approachable for most guitar players - I can even see where beginners could attempt a much less detailed version, but surely intermediates would have an easier time picking this up. It’s a gorgeous piece, despite not being the fastest track in Metallica’s repertoire (yes I just used that word, lol). If you’re looking for something to play of Metallica’s that’s more approachable than the super fast stuff, give Orion a try!
Orion, the day that never comes and shadows follow thos 15-20 min just goosebumbs from head till toe. They kept on going and going. So greatfull. What a concert that night in Madrid.
One of the things I love about live performances of "Orion" is how the band is always in tight proximity during the song. They have theis massive stage with all the ramps and whatnot, but when they play "Orion", they come together. It's as if they all combine their energy to summon something ethereal, something more powerful than they are individually (which is very powerful indeed).
It's funny after watching a bunch of these cuts of them playing Orion around the world you can actually tell they've been getting a lot of practice in! Hahaha... I mean they are all great, but geez this one they just nail it. All in perfect sync and perfect time. Just spot on. This might be my favorite live version.
Played Perfectly. Remember hearing for the first time like 22 years ago.... I loved every part, the ambient and harmonies the whole song gave good chills
This is, for sure, without the shadow of a doubt, the best version of Orion ever played live. Espacially for Kirk, who's been completely on point for the whole song. James is a machine, and that's it. Lars plays as he's in his 30's, with the exactly same stamina, and doesn't miss a bit. That changes the shape of a song. Rob? He saved Metallica and he pours out his soul, show after show. And he's a beast of a bass player.
I can’t believe Robert’s been in Metallica for 20 years. Kind of feels like he’s always been here now. He’s played Cliff’s and Jason’s licks more than they have at this point. Cliff would dig Robert as a bassist for sure.
30 years waiting to hear Orion live.... You are the best... thank you so much Cliff, James, Lars, Kirk, Jason and Robert
what about dave? he wrote majority of the riffs in kill em all and ride the lightning. his work in metallica is really underappreciated

I was there, amaizing performance... Metallica For Ever...
No one cares, my videos are better
That's Great!!! ***** \m/ *****
Cliff’s masterpiece 🔥✨
Its unfair 😭😭😭 a ginius musician like cliif burton to dead so early 😢😢😢
One of the greatest pieces of music ever written
If Beethoven wrote rock pieces, it would sound a lot like this. 😊
Those harmonies giving me chills
These are one of my favorite Metallica harmonies
I loved to watch how they seemed to feel them!
It's really cool how despite having such a massive scenario to walk around, they just pick to be close to each other for this song.
Yeah it's nice they do this every time they play, including when I saw them last month in Helsinki
they stay close to signal for when parts change. its harder for songs without vocals. and this song is kinda weird to play

Glad you're out of depression
I’ll be seeing them Friday night 🎸
@@Steven-lb4blI would love to see them but there not cheap which sucks
@@Steven-lb4blHave fun, I saw them in Copenhagen and it was FIRE
I love this song, I love Master Of Puppets and I was born on the same day as this incredible album. Long live Metallica and rest in peace Cliff Burton
Erm technically this is not a song its a piece beacus there are no Lyrics 🤓☝
@@Leonardo-co4dv 🤣
🙏👏👏cliff was and would be a great musician 🙏🙏🙏legends never die🙏🙏🙏😊
it's wild how much better Kirk's leads are on Greenie than any other guitar. Short scale smaller frets keeps his vibrato in check
Pro observation right there
I was just thinking that too after watching a couple recent videos!
Yes i was there both nights, Greenie sounds heavenly 🖤
Seems like the guitar just fits his hands & playstyle best. He should stick with les pauls!
All of Kirk's signature ESPs have scalloped frets, which makes doing vibratos super easy (perhaps too easy, seemingly).
This is my favorite song of all time.
Mine too
Mine too!
MIne too! It is incredible.
Cliff burton for ever 🙏🙏🙏🇬🇷❤️♥️

@@gabrielescipioni864 it sounded like it came straight off the album, but down-tuned. That's how good that performance of that solo was.
Lar's drums sound so amazing on this tour.

Dude. It’s not his actual drums they sound nothing like this live. They’re using programmed sounds
I was there, both nights. He didn’t skip any double bass in any song, i wasn’t expecting that :)

Powerful heavy epic
After being there and seeing it live makes this video even more special.
Thank you Metallica for such a masterpiece
It's so nice to see them playing the old instrumentals! Still so powerfull!
Hetfield and Hammett! They compliment each other nicely. This one demonstrates this beautifully!
love the lyrics🔥🔥

And of course the pyramids of Giza align perfectly with Orion…
Yeah, and while you're being all cosmic entity here, they literally named it Orion because it sounded spacey.
@@yasininn76 That's it!
One of my favorite songs
Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened.

One of their best song. So good to see them play it (so well) live 38 years later. R.I.P. Cliff 😢
Vamosssss ... Dublin to Madrid for the best weekend ever. This was the song that gave me the neck pain the next day but all worth it.
Love you Robert Trujillo, you did Cliff Burton right on this song as always. 5:03 starting
Just got back from the Edmonton show last night and they played it here too. Nobody does it like these 4. Metallica FOREVER! CLIFF BURTON FOREVER! ♥️⚡️
You can really hear Robert’s bass in the mix.
Usually James seems very sullen when they are playing this live. But look how much fun he was having! Especially at the end! Happy for them.
They played this on my B-Day. What an awesome gift 🤘🤘🤘
What a magical moment 😍 I never thought I could hear this song live and you guys made that dream come true. Long live Metallica!
We love you Cliff. Rock on Metallica
Orion Is my favourite instrumental!
NEVER ANOTHER BAND LIKE
METALLICA!!!!.
😊
We LOVE YOU guys!.!.!
😎😎😎🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟👑😎😎😎
There’s been/are plenty but yes I get your point
I dig how James keeps Cliff's memory alive every time this track ends throwing a kiss up to the sky. Big love for these guys.
Impressive and mesmerising performance. I loved how all of them felt their instruments!
best metallica instrumental song
It truly is
Best Metallica song in general tbh
uh.
What about To Live Is To Die. Orion is a great sing, but it has nothing on TLITD.
i prefer TLITD
This band is always honoring Cliff’s memory I wonder how their feeling when they play this song live I cried after watching this video
no set back from the stage!! Fan experience right up close!! LOVE THAT👍🏼👍🏼..
Timeless beauty
One of the greatest metal songs of all time
They sound great! Still selling out shows after 43 years!, big respect to the boys!
8:09 wow looks crazy and style dance when robert interrupt with fans 😮🎉🎉

Are you implying that Metallica has no heart nor soul anymore?☹️
They went totally downhill after his death.
