New shit in my collection #7

Time for new tickets. We start with the oldest.

First ticket is from a concert in Nashville (Nashville Municipal Auditorium) of July 27’ 1986. A day earlier, James breaking his arm skateboarding and concert, which was to be held in Evansville (Indiana), has been canceled. Since Nashville show until September, Hetfield just sang and Metallica played as a five member band with John Marshall from Metal Church as a second guitarist.

 

In December 1988 the band promoted the newly released album ... And Justice For All . This is one of my favorite periods in the history of Metallica. The ticket, which is below comes from this period and was to be held in Phoenix (Arizona ) at Memorial Coliseum December 4’ 1988 . Just look at the setlist from Phoenix . I wish now the setlist like this at current concerts.

During the American leg of tour after The Black Album, Metallica quite often played concerts in the same place for two or even three evenings in a row. In early January 1992, they played three nights in a row in Los Angeles. The ticket comes from a second (January 8 ' 1992) from three concerts at The Great Western Forum.

 

The ticket from Summer Shit Tour '94. On this Tour Metallica was supported, by Danzig and Suicidal Tendencies. During the last show on tour in Chicago at the World Music Theatre (July 7’94) Metallica invited guests on stage and played with them the last three songs in the setlist. The Last Caress and Green Hell with Glenn Danzig on vocals (BTW.. the author of these songs) and So What with musicians Suicidal Tendencies. Was it the first time when Rob Trujillo, at that time bass player of Suicidal played for the first time together with Metallica?.

 

A similar situation as with above ticket from 1992. Metallica played three nights in the row at the Rosemont Horizon Arena in Chicago. The ticket came from the second concert February 8, 1997.

 

The last ticket today is my first ticket from 2014. Metallica just ended South American leg of By Request Tour. The ticket comes from a second concert that took place in Buenos Aires (Argentina) on 29 March 2014. Many thanks as always to Piotr and Kasia for this ticket. If someone has a ticket from the first concert in Buenos or other South American concerts of the By Request tour please let me know.

 

Lithuania 2010

In next few days marks the fourth anniversary Metallica concerts in Lithuania, where they promoted Death Magnetic album. It was leg of European World Magnetic Tour during which the band arrived for the first time to Lithuania and also gave concerts in Latvia and Estonia. The concert which became a question mark, because air traffic over Europe was largely paralyzed by a volcanic eruption in Iceland. Metallica as always did everything to bring their music and from Scandinavia (Oslo) moved by ferry to Riga (Latvia). A lot of fans from Western Europe, however, was not so lucky. But I know guys who drove by car from Belgium to Lithuania.... Respect. Me and my friend also went to Vilnius (capital city of Lithuania) by car where we showed up the morning of the concert.

METALLICAAAAAA !!!!

 

After the obligatory visiting the old town where you could find a lot of Polish accents (the city that for centuries was Polish and lay on Polish territory) went into the hall where the concert was to be held.

 

Vilnius - where old meet new

At the hall we met some friends from TMCC, but what was strange - the lack of crowds at the hall. It was so strange, because it was the first ever Metallica concert in Lithuania. Because on this tour Metallica played on stage centrally located, so we just waited until everyone gathered at the hall come and quietly went inside hoping that, we will all see well. Inside we were surprised again - still could take the place of the barriers in the first row. WTF???. We were on one of the stage corners, but right in front of one of the microphones. The first support was Fear Factory. The sound was weak and I don’t remember much from their performance. Then there was the Gojira. I saw the French for the first time in action and despite still not the best sound performance stuck in my memory ... maybe because of the distinctive bassist playing. During the supports behind us was quite empty, you could easily reach first or second row. Metallica as always came and smashed... at least to me.

 

Show number one

 

Thank You and goodnight

 

During the concert several times passed by us Eric from TMCC, who was working for Metclub recording videos of concerts. As it turned out “knowledge” with "concert staff" made ​​the guards more favorably looked at my camera, which I had hidden earlier and which now snapping occasional pics. They gave us even water. After the concert, we came to Big Mick, who gave me the setlist from the concert with his own hand-written notes. Add to these ticket and two guitar picks ……Yeahhhhh. Ticket from second show bought from other TMCC member two years later.

 

Tickets from April 20 and 21 '2010

Unfortunately we could not stay for the second concert, which was to be held in the same hall the next day ... a great pity. What stuck in my memory is still in relative peace among the fans and the lack of madness. In Poland the unthinkable.
