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 #8

Time for new tickets from last weeks. Presented chronologically, from oldest to newest.

The first one is from the 1989 in Noblesville, Indiana. Graphically nothing great but I consistently completes all the tickets from 1989, one of my favorite periods of Metallica.

 

Another ticket from 1989 in Roanoke, Virginia. Full ticket, but the color faded a little. I don’t know why some sources (eg Metlist) give the date of the concert August 9, 1989 - day later than the date on the ticket shown above. Someone knows something about this?

 

 

In very good condition ticket from Oklahoma City from Live Shit Tour in 1994. Some of US tickets are two-color and one color means the shape of the state where is concert. In this case, Oklahoma State. Interesting. I'm sure I've seen other states shape on tickets. Should I write about it in future.

 

 

The ticket from Woodstock festival in 1994. Do you remember how Metallica concert started? Announcer - We are sorry, but Metallica will not be making tonight ...... then James from backstage - Fuck You ... ..Breadfannnn. From this concert comes my favorite version of Seek and Destroy. Almost 11 minute jam with part that is reminiscent of what we hear two years later in the song The Oulaw Torn. Listen to yourselves.

 

Fuck You ....Breadfannnnnn

 

Seek and Destroy video

Another ticket from Portugal from one of my favorite series tickets - European Poor Touring Me Tour ‘96.

 

 

Another two tickets come from 2009 - from Stockholm. While the first concert was held on March 7 as planned, the second day was canceled due to poisoning by James oysters. The concert was moved and held on 4 May of the same year.

 

 

 

 Oyster Show

 

In the end I managed to be the lucky owner of a second ticket with the first Metallica visit in China. Thus, both tickets from China are in my collection.

 

 

Last ticket today is quite exotic. It comes from the concert, which was held in 2013 in Jakarta, Indonesia. Tickets from this part of the world are hard to find and even more so in such good condition as this one.
