    That was crazy! It's hard to imagine so many people in one place, especially in the USSR! How did they pull this off?? Metallica definetely did an insane job, and I know this event wasn't just a Metallica concert, but a collaboration between many bands, but anyway..
    Crazy.
    I hope you enjoyed the video:)

      Actually, that was the full on USSR military, not just the militia. The helicopters were a mix of news and military ones.
      This free concert/festival was a kind of thanks from the USSR government for the youth citizens who helped stop the attempted coup just days earlier. This concert is very important in history because Gorbachev allowed western music to be performed in the country for the first time ever. That's one of reasons for the high energy of the crowd.
      The concert was just months before the collapse of the Soviet Union. The government expected 100k-200k people. They stopped counting at 500k. The rest were estimated. Over 10k military personnel were brought in because of how large the crowd was. There are no records, that I have found online, of how many of the soldiers were injured. They didn't have to go very far to get the personnel, at least, since it was on a military airfield.
      Some got injured by the military due to their nervousness after that attempted coup, besides ones needing attention due to the weather and pressing crowd.
      I believe that it's considered to be the 3rd largest concert crowd in world history.

    Great reaction. When they show the massive crowd, you can see the structure stacks all over. Those structure stacks are the PA systems. So everyone can hear. So, It isn't just the stage PA delivering sound to that massive audience.

    I would guess the multiple towers you see set up around the airfield were speakers. I don"t think there were huge monitors so people in the back could see the stage, but i imagine they could hear the performance through the speakers. And metallica was one of several bands that performed in the monsters of rock festival, but they were arguably the biggest band in 1991.

    @ironwoodworkman4917 2 роки тому +3

    Yes, No problem hearing the music. Do you see the speaker towers and the control tower. You can hear it for kilometres/miles. The reason for the towers spaced out like this is so you do not blowout peoples eardrums.
    I do think Pantera should have used better crowed control. ( But they were a young band )
    This was a very safe concert for the massive size of about 2 million people. (Give or take on the size. No-one knows for sure of the size.)
    The fact that not very many people died, shows how great the Russian people are. ( This concert gave me one more reason to like Russian people.) That being said, does not mean that their was not a large amount of violence. ( Back in the 1990's concerts like this were bloody and violent but not deadly. It is how we let off steam and relaxed. ) Check out the cover on " Various - Punk-O-Rama 4 (Straight Outta The Pit) " A photo is worth a thousand word. Lol ) ) )
    The violence between the Army and the Russian people is what I find interesting. They started out trying to control everything (Got a few fat-lips and black-eyes ) Then they relaxed and enjoyed themselves. ( I think. ) I'm sure this was all very new to them. I do not think they trained for this. :-)

    Pantera opened for Metallica during this show. I am not a big fan of them now but they were very influential for alot of the music I listen to today. The video of Pantera performing "Domination" at this show is good though and I like it better than the Enter Sandman performance.
    This whole show in general was definitely symbolic for the USSR. It was a few months before the fall and it is almost like the precursor to the craziness that followed.

    This concert took place the month after the failed coup d’état in the Soviet Union. I am surprised that it was able to go ahead with the unstable political situation. With the Soviet Union being closed to western entertainment until the fall of the Iron Curtain in 1989 it amazes me that there were such a large number of Soviet citizens that had heard and embraced contemporary western music.

    Well, a 1.6 million audience is quite an impressive number, no doubt and I never knew about it before. Heavy metal is definitely not my cup of tea. Although Metallica‘s ‚Nothing Else Matters’ played life together with the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra together with Rammstein’s ‚Mein Herz brennt!‘ are on my top 10 list for pop music. They have a special place in my heart. The rest I don‘t care about. Nor, with the exception of one, have I been to a pop concert and I don’t regret it. Same goes for sports events and other stuff. Simply too many people there cramped in one place!

Насчет сортиров тоже интересно, но это, в общем-то, было банально поле - Аэропорт Тушино - выходи куда-то за толпу (если повезет выбраться живым) и там справляй свои нужды.
    Концерт был бесплатный, как ты наверное уже налуркал, и там была куча групп, поэтому столько народу и пришло, собсна. Я думаю, на тот момент, это было величайшее событие, которое должно было объединить давно враждующие страны и положить конец холодной войне. Но в итоге чекисты у нас захватили власть и случилось то, что мы имеем сейчас, увы.

    You are partly right it was a few months before the Soviet Union was crushed in the audience from all over the world was 1.6 million people. But then you got Putin Tstar time. You are always under preference.
    Russia will lose in Urakina, it is a question of whether Russia will use nuclear weapons or biological weapons.
    Russia loses big soldiers suffer double losses, Ukraine will not stop. Russia's big problem is NATO, oil, gas.
