Many new tickets went to my
collection recently. Today, the first part - the glory of the old days.
Very special ticket in my
collection. At this gig Metallica played for the first time ever live Fade To
Black. 09-02-1985 - Aragon Ballroom (Chicago)
All other tickets presented
today come from the Damage Inc. Tour during which Metallica played as a support
act for Ozzy Osbourne. On this tour the band was finally able to reach a wider
audience. The tour lasted from April to August 1986 and was sadly the last Metallica
tour in the United States with Cliff Burton. At all concerts Metallica
performed the same set of songs:
Battery
Master Of Puppets
For Whom The Bell Tolls
Ride The Lightning
Welcome Home /
interchangeably with Fade To Black
Seek & Destroy
Creeping Death
Am I Evil
