This song gets me every freaking time... The lyrics for one. But also the fact that they wrote this at the age of just roughly 22. The lyrics would invoke the thought of someone old and spent writing it. It's truly a poetic, and musical masterpiece.
I KNOW. I can't believe it either. They were all about 20 when Kill Em All came out, 21-22 when Ride The Lightning came out. I can't believe they were that young and writing masterpieces like The Call of Ktulu.
I was There. About 60 meters left from the stage in the second row. So, all my ribs were pressed firmly. The best performance I've ever seen. Thanks to Metallica and AC/DC.
When James hits those first notes of the chorus at exactly 1:05, you get to see Metallica at the absolute top of their prime. That small moment of James playing the chorus by himself before everyone else jumps in, and James looking out at the crowd, is when Metallica reached the highest point ever in their entire history. That has to have been the most magical moment of James whole career.
+TheOromus Those rappers will never be in the same league as Metallica or actual real musicians. Rap is only popular in North America, outside these borders not so much. Rap is also terrible live and cannot create the type of excitement & energy for 100,000+ people.
+WarPigs413 you see the impact of Metallica because you are interested in them. If you were interested in either 2PAC or Eminem you would see their impact is just as great
yeap!!!! it s 5 in the morning in France, 4 hours yet of Metallica's music and I don't feel sleepy, even though I work in 3 hours....I'm screwed but happy!!!
This song at this particular concert just evokes so much emotion not just because of the massive amount of people that were there but for what this concert meant to the people at the time of the end of the Cold War it lets them let out their sadness and frustrations and everything and it's amazing how music can do that
Yes indeed, and basically 10 years after they taste the freedom, the russians go back to the evil hands of KGB and anti west propaganda, i can see USA flags in the crowd, imagine that right now.... so sad... Putin Huilo!
Something I just realized: this is the first live show I've seen where they've finished the entire song. This was the fall of the Iron Curtain at the late 80's, Russia was just becoming post-Stalin. I watched an interview with Hetfield recently in which he said at some point during the show the military, who were supposed to keeping everyone calm, throw down their guns and hats and joined the crowd. That's nuts! This really was absolutely historical.
To me, the guitar solo for Fade To Black is a work of art, a truly wonderful solo, but i've always wondered why they always improvise it when it's time to play it, kind of gets me off guard every time i watch the song live and just here wah wah or just some improv guitar playing that leads to the last bit of the solo that feels shoe-horned so we wont forget what song we're listening to.
Imagine how many times they have played this song since it is in their repertoire. And keep in mind it's a fan favorite and a favorite of theirs as well. They have probably played several thousand sets since "Ride the Lightning" ( Black Album alone was around 300ish dates ). It probably gets boring to play it exactly the same each time. And also probably replicating the solo the same or being on the same point every time you play or in the same groove or at the same skill level as when it happened in the studio is something that is quite hard. Kirk always has a tendency to go a bit of tang with his solos tho. They are at their most album similar within the same year of the release by what I've seen in live sets from them.
Totally agree. He needs to take that Wah Wah Pedal and throw it into the front row so they can trample it! That solo is a classic. You shouldn't fuck with a classic...even if you wrote it.
I was lucky to have grown with Metalica from my mid teens till my 40s. I feel bad kids now never knew how huge they were in their prime. These guys are the definition of metal rock, and for me will always be the greatest band I've ever seen.
+SP3C7REGaming It was released as an album, not a studio album of course. But I do have it. I love all of their improvising at the end, random jokes and playing. Hell, I love the impromptu Dazed and Confused halfway through.
My favorite song of all time. By far, by far. And I listen to a lot of stuff that's not rock/metal. I want this played at my funeral, especially 4:20 onwards.
This is what heaven on earth looks like. This has got to be in one of the top spots for best concert of all time. I'm seeing Metallica for the first time live in less than a month after being a diehard fan for years. I can promise you, I WILL cry during this song. METALLICA!!!!
i remember this concert very well. Looking back, the importance of this show should not be underestimated. Look at those fans-- just insane, probably the best day of their life at that point in time.
They must have been a bit nervous yeah, but they surely knew what they were doing. They knew that they were going to make millions of people (world wide, not just the ones in this concert) happy, and bloody relieved to be out of the bad government they've been in since they were born. FREEEEDOMMM (I know the US has it's ups and downs)
iplyrunescape305 Who the fuck cares if the US has had "ups and downs"? Be fucking proud. You don't have to feel ashamed to say "fuck you, USA USA USA, God Bless America, Freedom." Fuck the haters, the leftist degenerates.
I think it's their best guitar tone by far of all live shows.. Although I like the sound they have now, it's just not as much gain as they used to use like Seattle and here. I kinda miss that aspect
Infinity well... You kinda wrong, I have a mark 2c+ and his input level was 9.5 on volume 1, that's as much of a gain control as the master. His graphic eq changed from a V to an M with the lower and upper mids raised, which adds some crunch and fatness to the tone. But your right in the fact that the numbers were low, it's just on a mark iic+ 5.25 on the drive is a good amount of gain. Not to mention he had a mark iic++ which added 6 more DB of gain so if his was 5.25 maybe your settings at home would be 6 or so
Infinity I've played with both tones his old scooped tones, with my parametric Eqs, and honestly I got bored with it in 4 months or so. It's amazing when you first get it and crank that shit up, but yeah I started added more mids into it, and less gain, and it sounds like his tone today, obviously not exact cause I don't have a fuckin diezel vh4 :(... He gets his mids from the diezel and gain and treb from the triaxis c+ circuit. I think his tone today sounds A LOT better. But I still like to go back to the justice/ mop scooped shit from time to time.
Hold on a tick or 2? Could You actually stand up in front of that many people, Keep your nerve's and your composure, without Shitting yourself, and Perform at your peak, and act like it's just another show??? I dont fuckin think sooo man.. This is where you separate the Men from the Boy's! This is Rock History in the Raw!
Christian Sánchez actually I know, but I'm in love even by Chopin and Paganini. but it's not fair to compare any "modern" music with classical music ... even thinking that fade to black is so special as the classical works. XD

Life, it seems, will fade away Drifting further every day Getting lost within myself Nothing matters, no one else I have lost the will to live Simply nothing more to give There is nothing more for me Need the end to set me free Things not what they used to be Missing one inside of me Deathly lost, this can't be real Cannot stand this hell I feel Emptiness is filling me To the point of agony Growing darkness taking dawn I was me, but now he's gone No one but me can save myself, but it's too late Now I can't think, think why I should even try Yesterday seems as though it never existed Death greets me warm, now I will just say goodbye
why the band so and most be loved in Russia is because,the chords of metallica are like old and native russian music, almost all songs in Russia are minor chords. I played lots Russian music,and almost the same with what Metallica plays
I have loved this video for like the past 10 years, which reminds me of my youth from the past 30 years. I keep saving it to my favorites but with each Windows update, I lose it. I've saved it to my hard drive now. Hopefully I can keep it forever.
my brother who is 10 years older than me used to love Metallica so much and he was the one that made me listen to their music.... i used to be a kid back then and listened to them just cuz i liked the melody and stuff i didn't even know english ... but now i can definitely feel the emotion 👑👑👑
One of the greatest concerts ever!! Russia had just experienced the collapse of the Soviet Union. They had not known anything like this. The military got so excited that they thought everyone was being unruly. Lol they started hitting ppl & hitting cans on the ground. Most epic experience, it was filling souls with pure bliss. You can see it in their eyes. So beautiful!
Saw them in 91 two different times. Vancouver and followed them to Seattle. One of the last shows in the King Dome...no other band can fill a field like these guys....legendary and will go down in Rock history. Music is timeless.....oh the memories.
This was historical, American, and UK flags among a Russian crowd after decades of cold war and separation. Metallica symbolized the "victory" for American in this ideology war.
Масштабно! Настоящая живая энергия, ощущение предстоящих перемен... искренне все, настоящее. Это как прилет НЛО - хуй знает что ждет тебя, но интересно, по-настоящему. Искренний настоящий живой драйв. Щас такого нет и не предвидится пока.
I choose my girlfriend, my girlfriend choose my and together we've chose MetallicA. From 2008 we've been on three lives shows and the next comm for sure. yeah!
Realise that these people had been living under the impact of Communism for the last 60 years. While they were allowed individuality all examples of art, literature, music, any creative expression was banned or heavily heavily monitored. This concert would have been the first examples of modern music the some 1.6 million people would have ever heard. It’s a weird coincidence that fade to black is a song about letting go and being free, which is what this concert enabled Russia to do. There is no greater accomplishment of a musician than that of opening someone’s eyes to the beauty behind artistic expression and individuality. No life experience could ever be as good as playing up on that stage.
Soy fans desde los 15 años,y hoy tengo 40,tuve la oportunidad de verlos en el velodromo del estadio nacional,y seguire escuchandolos,lejos para mi la mejor banda de trash metal,los 4 jinetes continuen haciendo excelente musica

Life, it seems, will fade away
Drifting further every day
Getting lost within myself
Nothing matters, no one else
I have lost the will to live
Simply nothing more to give
There is nothing more for me
Need the end to set me free
Things not what they used to be
Missing one inside of me
Deathly lost, this can't be real
Cannot stand this hell I feel
Emptiness is filling me
To the point of agony
Growing darkness taking dawn
I was me, but now he's gone
No one but me can save myself, but it's too late
Now I can't think, think why I should even try
Yesterday seems as though it never existed
Death greets me warm, now I will just say goodbye

Saw them in 91 two different times. Vancouver and followed them to Seattle. One of the last shows in the King Dome...no other band can fill a field like these guys....legendary and will go down in Rock history. Music is timeless.....oh the memories.
Time between this concert taking place and someone posting it = 16 years.
Time between someone posting it and now = 18 years
lovely no cameras .... :) peopled enjoyed that event at that time
If only they had at least one camera, we could have been seeing it 25 years later...oh well.
we are seeing it right now ...no ?... But I know what you are saying.
Металлика выросла возмужала!!!Люблю вас ребята! Тащюсь до сих пор!!!! Не могу вылечиться
i dont know why, i just cry. 2016
Childhood's end
This was historical, American, and UK flags among a Russian crowd after decades of cold war and separation. Metallica symbolized the "victory" for American in this ideology war.
My favorite band
Me : *Hear to Metallica
My dad : What are you doing?
Me : I'm listen to Metallica
My dad : We have bigger speaker outside.
лучший концерт в истории!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
one of the best live performance from my favourite Rock band, briliant, awesome
That's what you call murdering a fantastic solo
you brain ded?
it's was metallica and Pantera at the top of their game
Масштабно! Настоящая живая энергия, ощущение предстоящих перемен... искренне все, настоящее. Это как прилет НЛО - хуй знает что ждет тебя, но интересно, по-настоящему. Искренний настоящий живой драйв. Щас такого нет и не предвидится пока.
дальше был пиздец в стране, разруха, обнищание и криминал, но по хуй пережили!
@@АндрейНиколаевич-г5ш Обратите внимание на флаги. Еще был СССР, но уже махали и власовским флагом, и салом с прорезью... вот и делайте выводы...
After all these years this jam brings it all back.. thanks man
Music is the universal language ...
The 'motherfucker!!' is class
I agree
The power of music man. Another great bands was there, like Pantera, ACDC and Black Crowes. And yes, about 800000 people was there!
1600000 exactly🤷🏻♂️
This just blows my mind how awesome this is. I'm a grown ass man and this brings me to tears how fucking cool this was.

Realise that these people had been living under the impact of Communism for the last 60 years. While they were allowed individuality all examples of art, literature, music, any creative expression was banned or heavily heavily monitored.
This concert would have been the first examples of modern music the some 1.6 million people would have ever heard.
It’s a weird coincidence that fade to black is a song about letting go and being free, which is what this concert enabled Russia to do.
There is no greater accomplishment of a musician than that of opening someone’s eyes to the beauty behind artistic expression and individuality.
No life experience could ever be as good as playing up on that stage.
Good for you for putting this on. Metallica at their prime and so was the crowd. Fucking awesome. Utter magic.
Autumn 1991. People in crowd did not heard anything about word "inflation" yet :) January 1992 is coming.
Soy fans desde los 15 años,y hoy tengo 40,tuve la oportunidad de verlos en el velodromo del estadio nacional,y seguire escuchandolos,lejos para mi la mejor banda de trash metal,los 4 jinetes continuen haciendo excelente musica
Yo los vi en 2003 En Washington DC! El mejor concierto de mis días. Summer Sanitarium 2003. También tuve el placer de ver a Chester Beninton QEPD.
EPIC performance, I love Metallica ♥
One of the best videos ever. Liberty to everyone on Earth that will fight for it!
A great song for the fallen of communism at USSR
Fuck those communist bastards. I HATE them!!!!
Same communists now control most of Europe, they just moved over from Russia
@@Kallogee Russia, china, North Korean. Very2 big communist nation
Iam still a Big Metallica fan # Jakarta Indonesia
lars' drumming at 6:00 is fucking on point
The song that saved my life. Thanks James.
4:17 most powerful moment in metal history
apparently lars has a hard time when it comes to recording but live...man... at the end his double pedal is perfectly timed, no flaw whatsoever
He seems to do better under pressure
kirk was absolutely out of time at 6:24, but still being amazing
Nossa cara, eu ainda não era nascido nessa época, mas eu sinto a emoção em cada frase e riff dessa musica. Época de ouro que muita gente viveu e alguns até participaram pelo que deu pra perceber haha
Minha favorita 100%
Legendary band
and nobody wears a mask .. those were the days
You think those days are gone or will return?
Theese days are gone, politicians earn too much from vaccaine producers to stop lying. Coronavirus isnt as deadly as they say, more people die in for example car accidents
@@niczymmiejskalegenda9899 ok boomer
They'll be back only couple years ago there wasn't any masks either
@@niczymmiejskalegenda9899 damn, I'm thinking the same as you. People afraid to much on this virus while they forgot this virus is made by human to politicians get advantage on their pocket. Sell vaccine etc
That was the golden era of heavy metal
When raw talent rips through your soul and become so hypnotic for years to come.
exelente banda cada ves me gusta mas! te llevan al extremo de lo que expresan en los instrumentos. alta banda maestros totales!
