Hammersmith Odeon 1988

27 years ago, Oct. 9, 1988, Metallica played their first of three concerts at London's Hammersmith Odeon. Metallica was during the European leg of the Damaged Justice Tour and in the second half of September they arrived to Great Britain and Ireland where they had to play 14 gigs in total. Originally band planned two concerts in London – those were the last two concerts on the Isles. But the concerts were so popular that both were sold out much earlier. In this case, the promoter decided to organize a third extra Hammersmith Odeon concert. So Metallica played at the Hammersmith three nights in a row. The following three tickets of these concerts and original flyer comes from my collection. Poster, fully signed by whole band is owned by Chris from TMCC. Still looking for this one.
