Blitzkrieg 97

Today, three tickets from Metallica European concerts in 1997. They were the only concert that summer in Europe to a wider audience. It is true that the band played several gigs in small clubs during Re-Load Promo Tour but they were promotional gigs before the release of the Re-Load album. It was a real Metallica live blitzkrieg - band played three concerts in three days in a row - just a weekend getaway. Metallica adequately to the situation called this mini-tour - Blitzkrieg 97. So the summer of 1997 You could see the band at Pukkelpop Festival in Hasselt (Belgium), Blindman's Ball Festival in Stuttgart (Germany) and Reading Festival (United Kingdom). It was the first visit Metallica on each of these three festivals. The concert in Stuttgart was fully registered and video from show was a part of the Fan Can # 3. On each of these concerts the band played four songs from the Load album (King Nothing, Hero of the Day, Ain’t my Bitch, Until it Sleeps). I personally would like to make these songs again returned to the current setlist. Are these times I'll ever come back?. Besides ticket from Stuttgart on the other two tickets no mention about Metallica, which is common when it comes to festival tickets.
