New shit in my collection #13

Another year is moving towards the end and unfortunately from the point of view of my collection was not a good year, although a few positives could be found. Before the end of the year I was able to enlarge my collection with some new tickets among which one I'm really happy.

Here it is. Number one this year. One of the oldest ticket in my collection from 34-thMetallica concert at all, the third concert with Cliff and even with Dave Mustaine !!!. The person who was originally owner of the ticket has for sure unforgettable memories from that night in Paramount Theatre, where Metallica played before Vandenberg and The Rods.

Another novelty are no longer as spectacular but it is worth to mention them. The first is a ticket from my favorite period of the band or the tour after the release of the album ... And Justice For All. This presented below is from the Canadian part of the tour from Ottawa.

Next ticket is from Tour called Summer Shit '94 in Washington, DC, which took place just one day after the famous Metallica concert at the Woodstock Festival ‘94.

Below a ticket from a concert in Baltimore at PSINet Stadium in July 2000. An interesting fact is that after this concert, James had an accident while riding a water scooter and because of a back injury did not occur on next three Metallica concerts. At that time, he was substituted on vocals by Jason, Kid Rock and Jonathan Davis of Korn. I'm not sure but it was probably the only three concerts where Metallica performed without James.

The last ticket today is a ticket from concert in Estonia in 2010. It was the second and so far last concert in the country. As for me, quite hard to get, I was looking for it a long time.

Finally, I want to wish you a Merry Christmas, Metallica related gifts and all the best in the New Year 2016. Metallicaaaaaaaaa !!!!

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

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.

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.
