Aussie Tour 1993

In the spring of 1993 Metallica was in the last phase of the Black Album promotion. After it drove almost the whole World, band appeared in Australia. Nine concerts as a part of Nothing Else To Roam Australia-Asia Tour on the Australia continent were the first concerts in kangaroo land since 1989 when Metallica played there during World Justice Tour.

So, during this visit Metallica played in the following cities:

March 27th – Melbourne
March 29th – Brisbane
March 31st – Sydney
April 1st – Sydney
April 3rd – Melbourne
April 4th – Melbourne
April 5th – Adelaide
April 7th – Perth
April 8th – Perth

As a support band on all gigs played Kyuss. The direct inspiration for this topic was enlarged my collection of two tickets from that Tour. Currently from nine shows I have four tickets (You can see them below). If anyone has other five and would like to found my collection – I welcome with open arms.

March 27th –Melbourne

March 31st – Sydney

Soundwave, Abu Dhabi & Golden Gods

This year's first Metallica concerts are now behind us and the first tickets from 2013 are in my collection. Metallica began five concerts in Australia, which took place in February and March on Soundwave Festival. Getting the stubs was not easy, helped me a friend who was at all five concerts, and one Australian fan and collector, who trade two Soundwave tickets for guitar picks. I still miss one of the tickets – from the Melbourne show. If anyone has a spare ticket from this show, please let me know.

Four of Five

 

For next concerts the four horsemens went to the Middle East and Africa. The April concert in Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates was the second Metallica concert in this country. Another ticket in my collection from this year come from this show. I failed so far to get tickets from the concerts in South Africa .... but I'm working on it.

 

Sheiks, camels and Metallica

 

The last of this year (so far) ticket and perhaps the most unexpected for me, comes from a short gig that band gave during Revolver Golden Gods Awards 2013 ceremony at Club Nokia in Los Angeles. The band played a short set containing songs - Disposable Heroes, For Whom The Bell Tolls, Rapid Fire (Judas Priest cover) ft. Rob Halford and Seek & Destroy. Ticket is very difficult to find because it was not a huge venue - sold only about 2,300 tickets. In less than a month Orion Music + More Festival in 2013 .... more tickets to come ? ;)
