Damaged Justice Tour - Germany 1988

In 1988 Metallica started monstrous Damaged Justice Tour to promote …And Justice For All album. The tour started in Europe a concert in Budapest (Hungary) September 11, 1988. During the European leg of Tour Metallica played in October and November ten concerts in Germany. Concert promoter rose to the challenge and designed a beautiful series of tickets, which I call “guitar shape tickets”. In the last week I managed to be the holder of the last two tickets from this set and now the entire German ten is in my possession. "Guitar shape series" includes only seven tickets. I do not know whether the remaining three concerts in Munich, Saarbrucken and Stuttgart also were tickets in the shape of a guitar. Maybe someone has information about this?. The remaining three tickets are also very cool. This increases their value is the fact that on the tickets from Munich and Stuttgart was printed the name of the album "... And Justice For All", which was quite rare in those days. I am even willing to venture to say that these are the only two tickets with the print.
Below all ten tickets from my collection.













All "guitar shape" series

Below some concert posters from that Tour. Notice that none of them in contrast to the tickets are mine. All scans stolen from net. Owners - Please forgive me ;)


Abowe typical one show poster from German Tour. Posters of all concerts were the same. They differed only in details as the name of the city and the hall, date, etc.

Nice Tour poster but this is not a poster which can be found on the streets. Below date and venues details


Huge, mean very huge (aprox. 170x60 cm) promo poster. I think this one hung in one of the music stores somewhere in Germany
