New shit in my collection #18

Time for new tickets in 2017. Traditionally, from the oldest to the newest.


The first ticket from the Damage Inc Tour during which Metallica performed as an Ozzy Osbourne support.


Unused ticket from the Wherever We May Roam 1991-92 Tour concert in Fresno.


Very special ticket from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, where Metallica during the Billboard Music Awards made the only performance of The Unforgiven II. It is worth mentioning that a unique opportunity to hear the song for the second time was in 2014 during the By Request Tour in Prague but Unforgiven II lost the Vote of the Day Song instead St. Anger. To be honest, I myself voted for St. Anger \ m /.



Another ticket is special for me because it is from my third concert, which took place in my hometown Warsaw in 1999. Although I already had the ticket in my collection that this particular ticket is unused and came additionally with a special folder in the form of a program in which holders of VIP packages received their tickets. The whole set is a very nice souvenir from Warsaw concert.


Another ticket is from the first concert which was held in the new hall Centre Videotron in Quebec City in 2015.


The last of today's ticket is a rare ticket from promotional concert that Metallica played at London's House of Vans during the promotion of their new album Hardwired ... to Self-Destruct.

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
