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.

Death Magnetic UK 2009 Tour

Great Britain was the first country in the Europe where Metallica promote their album Death Magnetic.  I'm not counting, of course, promotional concerts in September 2008 in Berlin and London. On this part of European Tour Metallica were supported by The Sword and Machine Head. Just like the previous Madly In Anger With The World Tour the band toured in the two week system - two weeks tour and two rest at home. Because Metallica has arrived to Europe in the late winter, all concerts were at indoor venues.

The first part of the UK Tour consisted of five concerts. The tour began on February 25 in Nottingham and the band played during this concert for the first time Judas Kiss. Next concerts were in Manchester February 26, Sheffield February 28, London March 2 where Metallica played Too Late Too Late for second time ever! and Newcastle March 3.

500 !!!

"500". Although this is my first post on this blog is titled "500". The explanation for this is simple. I get my ticket number "500" to the collection. Collection of Metallica tickets. It took a little bit but eventually gathered into himself to write about my passion and I think now is the good time to start the adventure on this blog and share with you what turns me on. For the sake of formality I add that this jubilee ticket is a ticket from Sonisphere festival in Knebworth in 2009. Pretty big ticket (scan below). Thats all for first entry here. The next entry will be extensive and will be about ... you'll see soon.

PS.  because my English is not perfect, please be understanding.
