Stood 12 hours to be in the front row for this show. Pissed where I stood and survived on booze and green. 18 yrs old & WV proud. I'm 35 yrs old now looking back and laughing. Great party Woodstock 99 was!!!!
Just watched the documentary on Netflix, doesn’t mention Metallica played apart from one tiny comment from Kirk, must’ve been one of the positive parts of the festival
I was surprised by that too. I’m the HBO documentary from last year it does talk about how a fan went to the front for Metallica but died from exhaustion and hypothermia in the pit during their set. Very sad cause he was a life long fan.
I thought for sure it would've been a talking point. But seems like Korn and Bizkit incited the most frenzy, which makes sense I guess since they were the hot new biggest bands of the time. Metallica was now one of the remaining 80s bands with a bad rap after load/reload
I get they were shattered their bass player died... but Newstead basically IS Metallica, and they treated him like shit the entire time he was in the band for no other reason than he wasnt Cliff. Rob is cool but no Newstead
@@m0nk3yl0v3rHow on earth do you reach the conclusion that Newsted "is" Metallica? He was in the band for their most commercial period but it's almost universally agreed their best work is 84 through 88 so he had a part in at most one of their OG great albums. He wasn't there for the return to form that was Death Magnetic and Hardwired. He arrived late and left early, and his poor treatment while wrong is absolutely proof that he *wasn't* Metallica, James and Lars were and at the time still Kirk. He was a cool live player but people say this way too much.

The best voice James had in he's career in my opinion was that Live Shit Tour...those legendary Mexico Show in 93...best thing Metallica ever recorded that dosent include The God of Bass Metal himself , Cliff Burton .Jason was Killing it tho
That just shows how opinions can vary, because I consider this the low point. In the 80s and early 90s he was basically abusing his voice and he sounded awesome late 80s early 90s. Then he blew out his voice and basically had to relearn how to sing live. I feel that he's still searching and learning here and he sounds better now (2022) then in this recording. In fact the whole band is searching for a new identity here. Took them about 13 years (1995-2008).
I find it almost impossible to pick a favorite vocal era for him. Some days I need that raspy piss and vinegar '87 Hetfield, and some days I gotta have that proper metal-crooner '99 S&M James.
Yeah I loved Jason's low pitched roar, it really worked....that period is when I first got into Metallica so for me that version of the band always feels right.
too bad they treated jason like fucking shit. i honestly hate james for that. he was the worst. i love metallica like LOVE them. Jason came in when they needed someone good and it was almost like they hated him for being so good. they didnt want a “good” bass player after Cliff left us. Jason put up with alot of shit for a good part of 15 years. fuck that.

no James vocal peak was 1986-early 1992 live 1993-1995 were rough years for James vocally yes James sounded good here but if you want prime James go to Seattle 1989
@@brianpatrickreddington1750I disagree with 1986 being peak. The aggressive he had there was nice but actual vocal performance I’d say 1999 was definitely better much more polished as a singer. 1989 is like a mix of the two.
@@Metal197 They really did. That being said, rob is a great bassist.. but he should've stuck with ozzy and infectious grooves. Jason fucking rips on the bass.
Maaaan, i'm having the same thought right now while he sings Seek and Destroy. Goddamn, he could easily be Metallica's lead singer. Jason bring back the raw, agressive voice that James lost short after Black Album.
I think there are certain bits of footage from Woodstock which get picked up by UA-cam's copyright stuff. That's why very few of the sets on YT are complete. Better than nothing though!
Sucks though! I always remember Creeping Death being on the Woodstock 99 compilation (the red disc), and that was definitely among the highlight tracks of the album!
Ikr! Creeping Death was one of the highlights of this show, James smashing the drums with his hands, Lars playing in the right tempo, Jason's backing vocals, James and Jason singing together. Its a shame that it isn't included here.
Matt Desrochers shit I thought I was losing my mind. Every time I watch bands I saw here I could swear I remember songs that aren’t included in these videos. I’ve never noticed any obvious editing out though. Thought I was going nuts. Makes sense now.
Ahhhh to be young again. I went to Woodstock 99 at 23 years old. Myself & 4 other friends. Had time of our lives. Everything was extremely expensive & I remember it being so hot & humid. I left Kentucky with $1500 & after 3 days of straight mayhem I arrived back in Kentucky with 8 cents in my pocket & a ton of dead brain cells. Worth every penny lol.
William Mathews ... accept when: they remember to NOT play that garbage song. I'm all about a band's musical freedom, save for when they take it as license to shit worthless, lackluster songs as drool as Hollywood blockbarfers. For full-throttle total Metallica metal mayhem, the Cannons are damned a 59:07 .
Its hard to tell, but it ain't no panties cuz that thing is moving, it almost seems like something elastic. Yes, panties can be elastic but wouldn't fly that far and that fast! Slowed it down but can't make it out.
I've watched this video over 15 times, Thought I was going insane for noticing this. how come I come across to this comment now. Props to you for that buddy
Just finding this in 2024, I was lucky enough to see them a few months later in Minneapolis with a very similar set list. This will always be peak Metallica for me. James’ voice is just perfect and Jason’s snarling energy is contagious. Will love this band in all its forms until the day I die.
They probably copyrighted the name, and they had already made quite sure that any band that sounded like them certainly couldn't use Napster to upload their music! Ha ha
They were all fucking great! The Chili Pepper set was fucking killer although I could’ve done without fleas dick flapping in the breeze for sure! , Creed killed their set Sunday with Robby Krieger from the DOORS
This would be the best live concert ive ever seen. Papa Het's voice was absolutely amazing. Its like listening to early 90s James combined with 2020 James. 💯💯❤️❤️❤️
My friend showed me this concert when I was in my early teens. Even through the old crappy television with it's old and crappy speakers it was the most amazing thing I'd ever seen or heard. Had never seen Metallica live before and this show definitely had an impact on me. I was already listening metal music back then but this stuff really got me hooked on it. I think I've watched this concert and Cunning Stunts a hundred times by now and I still love 'em. To me, this is Metallica in their prime.
One of my greatest memories of my life. Woodstock 99'. 3 days in 100+ degree weather. All of this with my best of friends #Pkells, #Rbrusky, #Dkorbs and r.i.p Bobby Cunningham... Never ever forget when you guys came on stage and they were calling for a major storm to pass thru while metallica was about to take stage. Never forget the rain wind and best the sound of metallica lighting up the sky nevr mind the lightning. Sitting their on whatever i was feeling at that moment. It was truly amazing. Distant memory but this video produced in 2014 will forver take me back. Turning the page and nothing else mattered at that time truly...simply amazing metallica!!!
I must've watched this 1000 times when i was like 13. Playing along woth my guitar each time driving my parents crazy. On DSL speed back in like 2003. When everyone had kazaa and practically gave my computer aids to watch this.
This performance was amazing, but when i heard one i just got chills everywhere, the almost distorted, dark, gritty and panicked playing really set the tone during the bridge god it was amazing
Sorry to post again. You people had to have been there ro experience it. First off after 3 days of 100+ degree weather, the storm that passed right when they came on was incredible. Added to already amazing experience. He was drenched cause it was pooring out. The lightning and thunder, winds. They came on speakers to warn us of the storm. Didn't stop them from rocking one if the most amazing sets. Like i said u had to have been there. I have been to tons of concerts but nothing will ever come close to woodstock 99....
Daniel DAmico remember what the announcer said ? He said that the weather channel called since we were considered New York's third city and warned us of a storm coming our way, the crowd when nuts !!!! He continues to say we spoke to the guys in Metallica and they will play rain or shine , which again made us go crazy !!!! The clouds came in like they scene in poltergeist as ecstasy of gold came on!!! Fucking epic time that I will never forget !!!!
Dude it threatened to storm with high winds. There was absolutely no rain during the Metallica set.. maybe a mist if anything. It passed right over all of us thankfully! 👊🏼
Biggest disaster of the century. Huge mistake to have such aggressive bands all in a row. Everyone in this thread seems to forget all the rape, abuse, death dehydration, starvation and needs to listen to the podcast breakstuff. They played great but there definitely needed to be more mellow acts in between. And security, any security at all.
He's done it a lot in live performances. Though you could be right, I'm sure he was just lazy or didn't care about playing it. I've sadly watched too many of their concerts to know he's never played that part lol.
@@___yaang___ there is a fill in that part of the original song but Lars never plays it at shows, so technically Lars can’t suck because he simply just doesn’t play the short fill
Here I was 18, ribs bruised. Came only to see metallica. Made my way upfront during rage. Most forward pressure I've ever felt. Amazing. Glad I left right after this.
One of my favorite concerts of theirs and it was almost the END of that classic lineup and that classic SOUND and energy. After Jason left (the following year) it was never the same.
I remember watching this shit on PPV back in the day. I begged my parents to order it for me so I could see Metallica's performance (as well as others...and I was only in High School at the time hence why I had to ask my parents lol). I may still have the VHS recording I did of it somewhere.
Lurch Murphy I called the PPV line for my cable company and hung up after only 3 rings. I was scared shitless because I went behind my mom's back. To my surprise, those three rings were enough to get PPV on my tv... oops!
Lurch Murphy ive done the same excrpt bh passed my parentd n ordered it with a click of a button n damn when mh dad recirved yhe bill oh was i in deep shit. haa.
Kirk Hammet proud Filipino... Mabuhay Pinoy... Metellica Metallica Metallica.... I remember this even when i was 18 years old, Woodstocks 99.. waiting until dawn..
There was was tense, angry, almost frustrated quality to James that changed his demeanor around this time. His personal life and celebrity life were really starting to blur into one, I think. And it made him seem more intimidating than other periods of his life.
Probably my favorite version. You can feel the emotion James is pouring into that performance. Just up there baring his frickin' soul to a bunch of drunk and high teenagers brave enough to stay to see them.
What a show this was. I was lucky to be there, and for 94’ too. I remember having to drag my passed out buddy from the concert grounds all the way to the tent after the show. Great times!
@@labs3768 I feel ya, but I'd say thats just because it's simply fun to get down to their simple hip hop beats! That's their technique as a band they expose you to their anti government politics by repeated hip hop lyrics. It's fucking brilliant!
just came out here because of the new Netflix's documentary about woodstock 99! when i saw that my metallica was there, i run to search if this video exists in youtube!
absolutely the best version of turn the page I've ever heard... I'm not sure why there is any negativity what so ever about this concert. for the haters,, if you can do better, please let me see your video, oh that's right.
So just watched the Woodstock 99 documentary on Netflix. They only really showed Korn and Limp Bizkit. Thought they would've showed Metallica because it would've been undoubted crazy as fuck
The performance of turn the page makes me feel so sad. The band is pouring their hearts out in this song and everyone, Metallica and the crowd giving away every last ounce of energy. Unfortunately little did we know Jason had run out pretty much and the band just about there also. Such a pure Metallica just pure sentiment.
Bro it was 90+ degrees at 10 o’clock at night. Probably 110° underneath those lights. It was the HOTEST three fucking days I ever spent my whole life.. 🔥🔥 E V E R 🔥🔥
This was Saturday night. I didn't really lose my voice until Sunday afternoon during Godsmack and by the time Flea came onstage naked Sunday night, I was deaf too.
Kenneth Richardson haha I wasn’t sure if he was naked and then I realized he was butt ass naked. We were all so thrashed. And drunk. And High. Saw tons of tiddies. And pussy.
The self-induced abuse people withstand during metal gigs is unbelievable. Everything is fun and games until you need a device to hear again at the age of 45.
to bad i was born in 2000. this is pretty insane. if i could go back in time, i would go here. except maybe backstage so i wouldn't die in the savage crowd
Jaden Dubecky nobody died. 1 person in the entire 3 days died from a heart attack. Pits aren’t as bad as you’d think. As long as you don’t mind huge crowds and getting bruised up a little. And if you’re a man. A few sick fucks gang raped some women at this one ruined it for everyone.
There is just a short Clip of a interview with kirk in it. But they didnt mention much of the RAtm gig too. I think they needed to focus on korn and limp bizkit
My brother and I were standing maybe 25 feet away from James, just on the other side of the barrier. This was the end of a long hot day and whatever energy I’d lost came back from the first note of So What. This was the best I’ve seen them, the crowd was on fire, and you felt every note. It was as massive as it sounds.
Nothing Else Matters Seek & Destroy Creeping Death Encore 2: Die, Die My Darling (Misfits cover) Enter Sandman Encore 3: Battery for those who are wondering what the rest of the set was.

S&M was great, although they did use autotune heavily on the DVD.
His voice back in the 80's was at it's peak. Those were his best days.

He must be a new fan LoL.
MyworstEnemy This is SUPER MEGA FUCKING TRUE !!!! SO TRUE!!! METALLICA 4 LIFE!!!!!
Only because The Ramones are all dead and so is Lemmy.
@@MirkoMaverick95 last year 2018 they did 50
Seems like Woodstock 99 got the best performance from like every band; honestly rage at this show is their best show ever too.
I'd argue it was Limp Bizkit, Bush, and Korns best performances too.
Go watch The Battle Of Mexico City then come back to me.
@@prairiefarmer5994 Bush's show was shit so i hope it wasnt their best lol, although that rendition of glycerine was beyond perfect
Yeah Creed totally killed it too
They were all fucking great! The Chili Pepper set was fucking killer although I could’ve done without fleas dick flapping in the breeze for sure! , Creed killed their set Sunday with Robby Krieger from the DOORS
This would be the best live concert ive ever seen. Papa Het's voice was absolutely amazing. Its like listening to early 90s James combined with 2020 James. 💯💯❤️❤️❤️
have u seen metallica live?
They killed woodstock! Metallica, Korn, and many other greats all in one! No better way to end the century!
and millenium too!
WTF is Korn?
@@guydelusignan4272 🌽
@@guydelusignan4272 they invented nu metal pretty much
@@pinkfloydmeddle6692 You say that like Its a good thing...
My friend showed me this concert when I was in my early teens. Even through the old crappy television with it's old and crappy speakers it was the most amazing thing I'd ever seen or heard. Had never seen Metallica live before and this show definitely had an impact on me. I was already listening metal music back then but this stuff really got me hooked on it. I think I've watched this concert and Cunning Stunts a hundred times by now and I still love 'em. To me, this is Metallica in their prime.
Sicktoid Obviously you've never seen Metallica live in their prime then. Born too late in the game.
Watch metallica in Seattle 1989 or Moscow 1991 and let me know if you still think this is their prime
James in his prime after his "prime".
Looks so healthy and fairly happy haha! Nothing but love to these METAL legends.
30yr fan, RESPECT!!!!
They really need to work Bleeding Me back into their sets. Such a great fucking song.
One of my greatest memories of my life. Woodstock 99'. 3 days in 100+ degree weather. All of this with my best of friends #Pkells, #Rbrusky, #Dkorbs and r.i.p Bobby Cunningham...
Never ever forget when you guys came on stage and they were calling for a major storm to pass thru while metallica was about to take stage. Never forget the rain wind and best the sound of metallica lighting up the sky nevr mind the lightning.
Sitting their on whatever i was feeling at that moment. It was truly amazing. Distant memory but this video produced in 2014 will forver take me back. Turning the page and nothing else mattered at that time truly...simply amazing metallica!!!
So ur last friend died? Sorry for u lost dude
THIS is my favorite Metallica era. Lars was so damn excellent on the drums, not to mention Jason's playing and backing vocals.
I must've watched this 1000 times when i was like 13. Playing along woth my guitar each time driving my parents crazy. On DSL speed back in like 2003. When everyone had kazaa and practically gave my computer aids to watch this.
There is SO MUCH going on between the members of the band as well as those folks' feelings into the crowd. Incredible.
This performance was amazing, but when i heard one i just got chills everywhere, the almost distorted, dark, gritty and panicked playing really set the tone during the bridge god it was amazing
Sorry to post again. You people had to have been there ro experience it. First off after 3 days of 100+ degree weather, the storm that passed right when they came on was incredible. Added to already amazing experience. He was drenched cause it was pooring out. The lightning and thunder, winds. They came on speakers to warn us of the storm. Didn't stop them from rocking one if the most amazing sets. Like i said u had to have been there. I have been to tons of concerts but nothing will ever come close to woodstock 99....
Daniel DAmico remember what the announcer said ? He said that the weather channel called since we were considered New York's third city and warned us of a storm coming our way, the crowd when nuts !!!! He continues to say we spoke to the guys in Metallica and they will play rain or shine , which again made us go crazy !!!! The clouds came in like they scene in poltergeist as ecstasy of gold came on!!! Fucking epic time that I will never forget !!!!
Dude it threatened to storm with high winds. There was absolutely no rain during the Metallica set.. maybe a mist if anything. It passed right over all of us thankfully! 👊🏼
Limp Bizkit, Rage Against The Machine, and Metallica. All on one stage. In one day. In that order. I like all three bands by the way.
We will have to agree to disagree but as Meat Loaf would say, 2 out of 3 ain't bad!
Biggest disaster of the century. Huge mistake to have such aggressive bands all in a row. Everyone in this thread seems to forget all the rape, abuse, death dehydration, starvation and needs to listen to the podcast breakstuff. They played great but there definitely needed to be more mellow acts in between. And security, any security at all.
Anyone who moshed their way through all three bands must have been thoroughly sore and fucked up by the end of that stretch!
@@mrconfusion87 yeah, one guy even suffocated to death
i was there..it was amazing and great experience... love Woodstock
This has to be my favorite live era of Metallica, they played at their best.
57:29 Lars completely freezes and doesn't remember to play the best drum fill in One
He's done it a lot in live performances. Though you could be right, I'm sure he was just lazy or didn't care about playing it. I've sadly watched too many of their concerts to know he's never played that part lol.
dude he was off the whole show. the dude sucks tbh
There’s no fill in that part anyway, listen to the original
@@___yaang___ there is a fill in that part of the original song but Lars never plays it at shows, so technically Lars can’t suck because he simply just doesn’t play the short fill
He never plays that fill live.
Wow, Bleeding Me was great.
Rastard12345 best version yet
Here I was 18, ribs bruised. Came only to see metallica. Made my way upfront during rage. Most forward pressure I've ever felt. Amazing. Glad I left right after this.
Fucking hell, they slayed Fight Fire with Fire! Fast and heavy as everything instrumentally, and the vocals are absolutely outstanding too.
Man, ‘99 Tallica was the best. They really perfected their sound in this era. Would love to see an official video and/or audio release of this show.
Так это официальная версия , описание прочитай
Im proud to be a 90s kid.... This Woodstock is fucking brutal and awesome... wanna go back this time its 2020 January..
anyone out there?
One of my favorite concerts of theirs and it was almost the END of that classic lineup and that classic SOUND and energy. After Jason left (the following year) it was never the same.
Agree
I remember watching this shit on PPV back in the day. I begged my parents to order it for me so I could see Metallica's performance (as well as others...and I was only in High School at the time hence why I had to ask my parents lol). I may still have the VHS recording I did of it somewhere.
Lurch Murphy I called the PPV line for my cable company and hung up after only 3 rings. I was scared shitless because I went behind my mom's back. To my surprise, those three rings were enough to get PPV on my tv... oops!
Lurch Murphy ive done the same excrpt bh passed my parentd n ordered it with a click of a button n damn when mh dad recirved yhe bill oh was i in deep shit. haa.
@@123childcare what
I have it on Cassette still And watch it on PPV to
I got so lucky and the PPV channel came in for free for a few hours. I got to see the end of rage and this performance. Summer of 99! 🤘🤘
I love watcing Kirk shred, he has a very unique stage presence. Id give anything to be able to travel back in time to attend this GOAT festival
1:03:00 Downpicking level - God!
Superpower!
One of the best versions of Seek and Destroy ever. Jason’s vocals are so badass!!
Listen to seek and destory in their live album new mexico
Here's this performance of Seek with HQ audio: ua-cam.com/video/R61QqU6uQbM/v-deo.html
It is the best version of the song IMO.
Kirk Hammet proud Filipino...
Mabuhay Pinoy...
Metellica
Metallica
Metallica....
I remember this even when i was 18 years old,
Woodstocks 99.. waiting until dawn..
Y'know the backspace key exists right?
I think James was kinda pissed off at this show.
He was probably drunk as fuck here
Check out some of the shows right after cliff died in 86...hes fucking possessed
Makes his performance much better
There was was tense, angry, almost frustrated quality to James that changed his demeanor around this time. His personal life and celebrity life were really starting to blur into one, I think. And it made him seem more intimidating than other periods of his life.
@@duaneshank6788 NS! That's one way to describe him...Perfectly! Haha
the moment Jason started to sing seek&destroy I felt like every planet are in their places and everything in the universe is alright.
That Bleeding Me performance though. What a great song.
Probably my favorite version. You can feel the emotion James is pouring into that performance. Just up there baring his frickin' soul to a bunch of drunk and high teenagers brave enough to stay to see them.
check out the performance from Plovdiv, Bulgaria '99. James is a beast during the song
What a show this was. I was lucky to be there, and for 94’ too. I remember having to drag my passed out buddy from the concert grounds all the way to the tent after the show. Great times!
I actually saw the show before ‘94 Woodstock. It was in Pittsburgh, 8/12. My first show
Best band that went up on that stage that year
Only because Megadeth played in the other stage
Rage against the machine for me
@@labs3768 You may enjoy them more but they don’t have anywhere the level of creativity or breadth of Metallica!
@@TheGreatTomDix your opinion. Rage is way better live
@@labs3768 I feel ya, but I'd say thats just because it's simply fun to get down to their simple hip hop beats! That's their technique as a band they expose you to their anti government politics by repeated hip hop lyrics. It's fucking brilliant!
just came out here because of the new Netflix's documentary about woodstock 99! when i saw that my metallica was there, i run to search if this video exists in youtube!
0:58:19 - Fight Fire With Fire nice shit
Opus SancteMichael
dude this has enough metal to rebuild the Titanic.
And enough rock to destroy it again
+anonymousSWE he said to destroy it again not destroy it like the ice did :D
anonymousSWE Sorry, I don't know about a musical gender called "ice"
still won't jack dawson back
absolutely the best version of turn the page I've ever heard... I'm not sure why there is any negativity what so ever about this concert. for the haters,, if you can do better, please let me see your video, oh that's right.
3:03 damn thats one fast wrist...
Wait that can mean something else
So just watched the Woodstock 99 documentary on Netflix. They only really showed Korn and Limp Bizkit. Thought they would've showed Metallica because it would've been undoubted crazy as fuck
Also Rage Against the Machine played right before Metallica too
The performance of turn the page makes me feel so sad. The band is pouring their hearts out in this song and everyone, Metallica and the crowd giving away every last ounce of energy. Unfortunately little did we know Jason had run out pretty much and the band just about there also. Such a pure Metallica just pure sentiment.
45:00 omg that bass... 👏💯❤
damn ''bleeding me'' in their set-list. this is so fucking awesome >3 :PPP great song
im still here in 2019 ! never forgotten!
3:44 one song in and Lars looking like he just got out of the pool
Lmao
Bro it was 90+ degrees at 10 o’clock at night. Probably 110° underneath those lights. It was the HOTEST three fucking days I ever spent my whole life.. 🔥🔥 E V E R 🔥🔥
This was Saturday night. I didn't really lose my voice until Sunday afternoon during Godsmack and by the time Flea came onstage naked Sunday night, I was deaf too.
Kenneth Richardson haha I wasn’t sure if he was naked and then I realized he was butt ass naked. We were all so thrashed. And drunk. And High. Saw tons of tiddies. And pussy.
The self-induced abuse people withstand during metal gigs is unbelievable. Everything is fun and games until you need a device to hear again at the age of 45.

🔥🔥🔥🔥
Fight Fire With Fire was so heavy. Ive never seen James play so hard and go so low on his vocals. Very sick!
the fact that they went after RATM and Limp Bizkit. the energy must’ve been surreal
to bad i was born in 2000. this is pretty insane. if i could go back in time, i would go here. except maybe backstage so i wouldn't die in the savage crowd
ua-cam.com/video/JcmylxQ0ma4/v-deo.html
Jaden Dubecky nobody died. 1 person in the entire 3 days died from a heart attack. Pits aren’t as bad as you’d think. As long as you don’t mind huge crowds and getting bruised up a little. And if you’re a man. A few sick fucks gang raped some women at this one ruined it for everyone.
@@fmjay11 okay
Pussy
Your social media generation is too soft no offense lol. We thrived for that!
I find it odd that in the documentary "Trainwreck - Woodstock 99" on Netflix, they don't mention Metallica or show any clips of them.
Thought the same, that's why I looked the concert up. Probably they didn't want to throw shade on Metallica, because of Stranger Things
They left a few bands out. Rage Against the Machine had a great set after Limp Bizkit like Metallica did but all the focus was on LB lol
Yeah it was weird that the doc was twice as long as the good one that came out last year on hbo max and didn't mention Rage burning an American flag
I have a feeling Metallica shut them down, threatened them with a lawsuit or something.
There is just a short Clip of a interview with kirk in it. But they didnt mention much of the RAtm gig too. I think they needed to focus on korn and limp bizkit
My brother and I were standing maybe 25 feet away from James, just on the other side of the barrier. This was the end of a long hot day and whatever energy I’d lost came back from the first note of So What. This was the best I’ve seen them, the crowd was on fire, and you felt every note. It was as massive as it sounds.
late 90's Metallica is the GOAT live performance. Just insane!
James Voice pretty awsome in 1999.
thanks for that bud
Jason , my favorite Metallica bass player...a beast on bass/stage.
1:00:55 my favorite moment. Reminds old good James
The force behind the motherfucker is so epic
Nothing Else Matters
Seek & Destroy
Creeping Death
Encore 2:
Die, Die My Darling
(Misfits cover)
Enter Sandman
Encore 3:
Battery
for those who are wondering what the rest of the set was.
Sting using Seek and Destroy from this show as his entrance music in '99 is what got me into Metallica. Still my favourite performance.
112:01 Jason let's them know who should have been the boss. Amazing vocal and darkness.
