New shit in my collection #11

The first ticket is from the Metallica tour with Ozzy Osbourne, from show which took place in 1986 in San Diego. The ticket is not in perfect or even good condition, and far away from full ticket but each ticket from Cliff era which I don’t have in my collection is valuable for me. 

Another ticket is one of my best …looking for that one for a long time. It comes from the concert that took place in Athens (Greece) during the summer tour Nowhere Else To Roam ‘93. It is a large, printed on hard paper and has a very interesting graphic design with two skulls. That same design can be seen on most concert posters from that Tour and on stage.  

Next interesting item is flyer from Turkish concert from Garage Inc. Tour 1999.

The last two items today are two tickets from 2014 South-American Metallica By Request.  Tour. Both from fairly exotic locations: Ecuador and Brasil. Exotic means for me: rare and hard to find. Since these two are in my collection, I’m looking for only one ticket from that tour – ticket from Chile. By the way, thanks a lot for these gems to my Chilean connection - Rodrigo. Thank You my Friend.

The European leg of the By Request Tour 2014

Europejska część trasy By Request to 17 koncertów podzielonych na dwie części. Na wstępie muszę zaznaczyć że nie udało mi się zgromadzić wszystkich biletów z tej części trasy.The European leg of the Metallica By Request Tour include 17 gigs divided into two parts. Most of the tickets You see below are from my Friends: Piotr, Kasia, Michał, Richard, Alex and Mike. Thank You very much.

This part of the Tour will be for me remembered because of few facts:

• A concert in Helsinki (Finland), during which band played for the first time in the history The Frayed Ends on Sanity from the album ... And Justice For All. Even bad weather was not able to overshadow the show.
• Two fastest sold out concerts on the Tour: Horsens (Denmark) where the band played for the second time in prison, and Hamburg (Germany) where in my opinion was the best lineup.
• Metallica performance at Glastonbury Festival. It was probably the biggest surprise not only for fans of Metallica but I think especially for the festival regulars Glastonb ury. It was probably the biggest surprise not only for Metallica fans but I think mainly for Glastonbury Festival regulars. Tickets for the festival were sold about six months before the announcement of the performance of Metallica, and due to the fact that they were registered they can not be sold. Tickets for the festival were sold out about half a year before the announcement of the Metallica concert, and due to the fact that they were registered they can not be resold. It is therefore highly likely that this hippie-alternative festival, there were not many fans of the team in San Francisco. Ponieważ trudno nazwać Glastonbury “ciężkim” festiwalem, bardziej hipisowsko-alternatywnym nie było na nim zbyt wielu fanów Metalliki. Atmosferę podgrzały liczne protesty przeciwko występowi czwórki z Frisco na festiwalBecause Glastonbury is definitely not "heavy" festival, more like hippie-alternative,  there were not too many Metallica fans. The atmosphere heated the protests against Metallica at the festival. Metallica we właściwy dla siebie sposób odniosła się do tych wydarzeń – nakręciła krótki film, którego przesłanie sprowadza się do krótkiego i dobitnego - Pieprzyć Was. Co warto odnotować, frekwencja podczas występu zespołu była rekordowa. Band in an appropriate way referred to these events - they made ​​a short film with a message boils down to a short and emphatic - Fuck Off. It is worth mentioning that was a record-breaking concert at the festival this year when it comes to the number of people.
• Koncert w Warszawie podobnie jak ten w Pardze został przeze mnie szczegółowo opisany tutaj [Warsaw 2014 home sweet home].Warsaw, it’s not because it’s my hometown (more has been described here [Warsaw 2014 home sweet home]) but also Metallica played during one concert two instrumental tracks Orion and The Call of Ktulu. Taka sytuacja kiedy na jednym koncercie Metallika zagrała dwa instrumentalne zdarzyła się pierwszy raz od ……. This was first Metallica concert with two instrumentals since February 7’1985 when they played Anesthesia and The Call of Ktulu.

New shit in my collection #9

Last time I totally forgot about a few tickets, so today is small update to part 8 ….plus new addiction from last 2 weeks. Also I’m waiting for huge package with tickets. Hope it arrive to me before Christmas madness.

First ticket today is from Ride the Lightning Tour, from show Upper Darby (Pennsylvania) January, 12^th 1985. Every ticket from that era is very hard to find and is in my top.

 

Next one is one of my favorite tickets. It comes from …And Justice For All European Tour ’88. Concert was held in Munchen (Germany) and ticket has really nice hologram. Everything would be perfect if not for the fact that the ticket is torn.

 

Another European ticket is from Oslo, Norway. This was first of two concerts Metallica played in Norway that summer.

 

Next two are tickets from BIG4 shows. In the years 2010-11 Metallica played 16 concerts known  as a BIG4 concerts (Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, Anthrax). The first ticket comes from fifth BIG4 concert, which took place in Athens (Greece) June 24’ 2010. It’s very nice, large and unused ticket.

 

Second one is from BIG4 show which took place a year later (July 3’ 2011) in the Swedish Gothenburg. Unfortunately, my ticket is heavily faded.

 

Last one ticket today is newest in my collection. It’s a variation of ticket from By Request show in Warsaw July 11’ 2014. This one is General Admission standing ticket and is torn but comes from GA standing wristband what is pretty cool.

The South American leg of the By Request Tour 2014

This year's Metallica South American and European Tour was under formula By Request. In short, it was just that the fans choose setlist. Of all the songs Metallica have ever been recorded the fans who bought tickets via the Internet could choose 17 songs played at concert. Eighteenth song was a new song "Lords of Summer" recorded by the band specifically for this tour.

 Unfortunately, what seemed like a beautiful dream, and only a unique opportunity to hear the songs has long since been played by the band turned into a “greatest hits” nightmare. Not that I did not like to listen Seek and Destroy (I like this song very much), but Nothing Else Matters smacked a little boring. The tour was divided into South American and European legs and in my opinion fans in South America have chosen a better setlist than fans in Europe.

As is usually the case in South America I knew would not be easy to get any tickets. All attempts to get tickets through my friends living in Argentina and Brazil failed. Fortunately my friend Piotr along with his wife Kasia and friends went to three concerts in Argentina and Chile. Getting firsts tickets from the tour became a reality. Another big part of the tickets from this leg of the tour fell into my hands suddenly quite late because after Metallica European concerts. As always helped Piotr, who put me in touch with a friend who had somehow come into possession of a number of tickets from South America. Tickets were unused and in mint condition. Thanks Michał and thanks to Piotr and Kasia.

            Below all the tickets from South American part of the By Request Tour that I managed to get through the help of my friends. Unfortunately, the lack of any tickets on ebay, which would increase the chance of completing a full set of tickets from South America. If anyone has tickets from By Request Tour 2014, especially from Colombia, Ecuador, Brasil and Chile and would like to give them away, trade for other Metallica stuff or eventually sell, please contact me.
