After 24 gigs, there is no doubt Poland ranks among the best places I've been too, all over Europe (coming from Denmark). Everything from the city, the people and especially both gigs were absolutely stellar. I'll definitely come back next tour if they play there again.
I am 53 now and never ever was on Metallica concert. I am so happy that I was there ! Although my heart belongs to Scorpions since I was 16, I am telling you: that was the best concert in my life. Really. I will NEVER forget it! THANK YOU METALLICA ! And one thing: when the concert started, you guys played despite the intensive rain. No behave like a diva, respect !!!
I was at this concert, AND it was my birthday when it happened. funny story: during a break between the songs, James yelled "is everyone having a good time!?", and i yelled YEAH so loud that James chuckled by responding "ok ok calm down" while waving in my direction. Best. Birthday present. Ever.
I remember the crowd moshing to this song that evening, it was my first concert after dreaming about it for years. This night will definitely leave unforgettable memories
This isn't bad, BUT.... I've been in this concert and GOD this vid doesn't even give back the 5% of the whole vibe. They are freakin loud and chrystal clear. It was like 115 dB in the whole stadium. They kicked the asses of 75 000 people for two hours for two days and WE LOVED IT!!!
Yea, the energy on this song was insane. I was in the first row in the snake pit, but I said fuck it and went into moshpit on this one when I heard the intro :D
20 years ago in Gothenburg, Blackened was the first song I heard Metallica perform live. They were great already then, but unbelievably, they're even better today, 20 years later!
@@JamesWilliams-nb8ig you can compare it with any audience recording from Warsaw, Lars ALWAYS (even in '89, even on the Live Sh!t DVD) stopped the double bass runs a couple measures early, he could never really push it to a neat stop on the crash hit. And the normalisation on some bass drum hits is so wild it sounds like it's whiffing or something. I want to make clear that I love Lars, love the band, and that their performance is more live than 99% of the acts out there. I'm just pinpointing stuff because: 1) it's silly to think Lars is a god because of a doctored audio, the very same way it's stupid to say he sucks when there are obvious quality/technical issues 2) it's sad that music industry set these standards where this tweaks are mandatory
I feel like they sound even better than they did 10 years ago!! Not like they’ve ever sounded bad, but they sound great! Screw old age. They are punching old age in the face 🤘🏻🤘🏻💪🏻💪🏻
@@FKCENSORSHIP unfortunately the bass drum is quantised as fuck post recording after the soundboard. if you dont know what quantization i'd suggest learning about that kinda stuff :D lars is a legend no doubt, nothing left to prove, the quantising is why the double bass sounds good in this recording and anything that probably sounds good live from him released by metallica

Moscow and Seattle may have something to say about that... Plus, way too many phones up, couldn't see any bug mosh pit happening? (Or was the pit banned at this show due to "safety"?)
One of my top 5 Metallica songs. For me, this is up there with That Was Just Your Life and Battery (all 3 are the 1st songs on their respective albums too)
There is nothing better than waiting with bated breath and have that spotlight shine on James. You know you’re in for a good time when he strums that guitar and Lars beats the drums, followed swiftly by Rob and Kirk! Chicago, August 11th… best night of my life.
Man, Lars is feckin' KILLING it. The rehearsing with a click is really paying off. This is the most consistent he's sounded since the early 90's. To make that kind of change is never easy. What an absolute badass.

Big job here does post production. But even live they had probably the best mixing I've heard, wich is especially impressive since PGE has really bad acoustics.
My favorite Metallica song, REALLLYYY hope they play it in Seattle. Going both nights. Just wish Kirk would play the second half of the solo too though (my favorite part of the whole song besides Lars’ double bass after the first chorus)
How are these guys still so f**king awesome all these decades later? Still one of the best bands to see live.
Because they're Metallica
Actually, the best.
Not just any guys...They are METALLICA 🤘
BECAUSE THEY STILL HAVE IT, that's why
Epic!!!
Blackened is such an amazing song with such a great riff 🔥
riff gods!
immo their best song and riff (thanks Jason!)
Can't be, really ?
Created by Jason newsted
AJFA best metallica album
Hearing that intro live made me lose my shit. Such a good fucking performance
Yeah, and then I could not hear James' guitar whole show on my side. Such a turn down. Poor speaker mix live. I was so angry. It was barely audible.
Holy fuck that intro gave me chills. I hope they play it when I see them in a few weeks
After 24 gigs, there is no doubt Poland ranks among the best places I've been too, all over Europe (coming from Denmark). Everything from the city, the people and especially both gigs were absolutely stellar. I'll definitely come back next tour if they play there again.
And you’ll be welcome, cheers
@@przemek8887 Cheers mate, I'm already looking forward to it.
That bassguitar looks absolutely stunning.
The two best colors I’ve seen on robs bass is gold, and baby blue. Both of those are perfect for a bass imo
Now if only we could hear it.

That mid-song breakdown is one of the finest moments of the Metallica discography.

I was there, I can't wait for the next concert in Poland.
Mee to!!! I still can't recover from such an amazing concert /m\ 😃
There are thousands of us waiting here for Them to come back 🤘🙏🤘You are for us, we are for you and we are all for music 🔥
It was my first Metallica concert, I hope that not the last one 😀
can't wait for them to be back in Poland!
Props to Jason for this amazing riff 🤘🤘🤘
One of the heaviest riffs in their discography!
Jason Newsted wrote the main riff 🤘
The verse riff in particular.
@@dmitryowens And how did Lars thank him? "Your bass is too loud". Sounds much better here.
3 words the. Shortest, straw
The Thing That Should Not Be.
Finally got to see Blackened Live and was worth the wait!! Poland you rocked! 🤘🏻🫡🇵🇱
Wrong flag lmao
@@Kurwaslayer 🤦🏻♂️ thank you!
Man James looks so badass now. Idk why but it feels like he's combined his late 90s look with his more modern look and its so badass.

Łooo kurwa Metallica nadal utrzymuje poziom!
BLACKENED! 🔥🤘 06:55

3:55 sounds so good
20 years ago in Gothenburg, Blackened was the first song I heard Metallica perform live. They were great already then, but unbelievably, they're even better today, 20 years later!
🎶 wow 😁 6:56
That girl is pure fucking metal
Thank You ❤@@nimnu6560
Now that's what I'm talking about. She's a keeper for whoever she's with or gets with later.
Hot damn Blackened is soooo good when you can hear the crunchy bass!
5:30 this is by far my favorite part of the performance listen to James’ guitar oh I love it
Man. The solo shots of James in the beginning 🔥🔥🔥
Its a undescribable thing that I can hear myself in the audio at the beginning… glad I was there, I love them all!
one off the best live songs for sure
Lars killed it.
2:05 fantastic touch from Kirk.
This is their Best Blackened Performance in Years it's Just absolutely Beautiful.
Best intro riff ever!!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

@@punch845 Yeah man, that guy deserves much more gratitude

3:07 That’s what it's all about! Rip it up! 🤘🏼
Band delivered but so did the crowd 🤘
Exodus
my all time favourite Metallica song, and what a performance, thank you Metallica!
Wow! How intense Warsaw crowd is! Hell yeah 🤘
The shot at 4:55 with James growling “population” is insane
my absolute top 1 of the Metallica's discography
DOUBLE BASS!!!

@@patogames5099 Well, of course it's not late 80s or early 90s, when tallica was in it's zenith
@@DeepWest9000 correct, that's why the energy, while it may have been great, is definitely surpassed by other shows.
@@patogames5099 Well, true, but I was expressing my personal impression ;)
Listening to this on a system with a sub-woofer and man that bass is rumbling!
6:55 Love of my life
I love hearing this song with bass!
This is epic track. Show in Warsaw was brilliant. Thank you, guys.
One of my top 5 Metallica songs. For me, this is up there with That Was Just Your Life and Battery (all 3 are the 1st songs on their respective albums too)
Unreal. These guys are still ripping it live. Living legends.
Aint that the truth... theyre increfible

Who is she😍
@@arthurwierenga8081 idk maybe some angel😂❤️
This show stays with me forever!!!!
Long Live The Kings!!!!
Been a fan for 40 years and glad to see them still crushing it.
They just get better n better. Man, i can think of anyone that rocks truth this hard except Christopher Bollyn. His truth about the world.
Rob's voice at 6:37 was absolutely insane
Oh yes! it's so blackened with a boost!

What. A. Night. That. Was ❤
I was there! Sensational night and Warsaw... Great city
Úžasná atmosféra. Zdravim z České republiky. ❤
Insanely tight show, amazing mix, and James is sounding on top of the last 2 decades. So happy to see Metallica killing it.
That's my favorite Band, I seen them 9 times from Maine to Hawaii and all on the East Coast.
Love them forever ♾️
That night's setlist was honestly amazing. Aside from nothing from Death Magnetic, songs choices were perfected
I wonder how it feels to have so many fans around the world
The sound of each instrument is clear and the soloist is even more intelligible. Congratulations to the sound technicians in Poland.
Lot’s of editing in the studio afterwards. ✌️
Big job here does post production. But even live they had probably the best mixing I've heard, wich is especially impressive since PGE has really bad acoustics.
One of the best moments of this concert ❤ couldn't contain my excitement when I heard this intro
What a kick ass crowd
True death of life 🤘
the golden bass from Trujillo looks so nice, as well as the sound
As far as I loved the fastest live versions, the actual record tempo settles the debate: these guys are timeless!
Love how James stands next to Kirk during the dual guitar part! In sync!
My favorite Metallica song of all time!
This is how the lighting should look at all the time! Looks great!
At last, Blackened!! 🤟🤘🔥
So glad they are letting the Bass come out 😊😊😊😊
That OOOOOOOOOH! Was awesome, James may be old but he’s still an epic singer! 🤘🤘🤘
The audio sound is awesome! It's crushing!!
Robert Trujillo makes this band so heavy live
That super clean double pedal 🫡
Polska 🎶🎵🔥❤️🇵🇱🙂
This one had me going nuts live for The first Time. Unforgettable concert. Possible The best part of The concert.
Wow really spoiling us with Warsaw clips ❤
the thing with their polish flag colors at the beginning was nice :-) and the song is still so awesome!
We occasionally get Blackened. What we never get is Dyer's Eve. The two bookends of a phenomenal album.

@@NotSensyYT Yes he can
@@NotSensyYT Get over yourself - you have zero importance to anything
@@Hey-Its-May last time I saw them play it was in 2009 and Back then they were in the '89 shape
