New shit in my collection #14

The first new tickets in this year, rather late, but better late than never.

Above ticket from the first of two consecutive concerts that took place in the Top Hat, (Dublin, Ireland). I love all Metallica tickets from 80’s.

I know it may seem strange but find that ticket it was a real pain in the ass. Strange because it’s  relatively “young” ticket. A similar situation in my case with a ticket from concert, which took place a week later in Erfurt, Germany - never seen it.

A ticket from the second Metallica concert in the framework of the event Jailhouse Rock in Horsens prison. I had in my collection e-ticket from that concert, now I was able to get a hard ticket.

Ticket from a Canadian Quebec City from 2015. This was the last concert that took place in the hall of Colisee Pepsi in general. During their career, Metallica played there a total of eight times.

This ticket is from the last so far Metallica concert. The event was organized by CBS, it was called The Night Before and held in the hometown of Metallica San Francisco.

At the end I wish you all Happy Easter.

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.

Horsens round my neck

I really don’t understand why Metallica not played St. Anger song in Horsens. This was a unique chance because place for that was almost perfect. If you recall where the band recorded the video for this song (San Quentin State Prison), it becomes obvious that state prison in Danish town Horsens where happened the concert in the day 6 June was an ideal place to play St. Anger. Scenery concert with the walls and prison building in the background were awesome.

St Anger round my neck...

I need a voice to let myself, to let myself go FREE

For the second time on this tour I had the pleasure to be in snakepit. In comparison to the concert in Warsaw, the sound was worse but contact with the fans was much better. Practically all the time one of the band members was in snakepit. James, Kirk and Robert actually provoked by the fans to touch the guitar strings or even pants .... and I must say that touching a guitar when Kirk play’s solo is a pretty nice experience.

so close

For me  as the collector additionally important were also connected attractions like tickets, wristbands, posters, flyers etc. Tickets from this concert were very similar to these were which during five Metallica concerts in Copenhagen in 2009. So as on earlier concerts on this tour in stock were limited (to 200 copies) promotional posters (of course bought) and special limited to 250 copies posters commemorating the concert in Horsens. In my opinion this poster was a lot uglier than TBA poster and I did not buy it.

Snakepit wristbands

Limited to 200 copies TBA Horsens poster

For me the most cool thing if depends on memorabilia connected with Horsens is the classical concert-poster. In spite the quick rally across Horsens I did not see even one copy but thanks to the help of one of Danish friends from TMCC and few CD’s I am a happy owner of one of these beautiful posters.

Very cool concert poster from Horsens ...fastest sold out concert on TBA anniversary tour
