In some statistics its said to be over 2million people on this concert in Moscow!

Just exited the stadium. What an awesome concert

Nunca me canso de ver éste vídeo...hasta la piel se me eriza...que concierto más épico jamás se verá algo igual en la historia humana

nothing like this will ever happen again, nothing, especially with bands like today.

Kevin Sipos The sad thing about rock nowdays is that it has gone in a direction where things like this 1.7 million people concert wont ever happen, its just the nature rock has taken. But id say it has its beauty nonetheless. Rock aint asleep, its just not selling out stadiums and starring on covers. Rock bands are indie and alternative right now, maybe one day they will go back to their former glory and status of gods.

Я был на этом концерте осенью 91 года. Был в этой толпе, видел и слышал это живьём. Мощность звука была такова, что звук прошибал насквозь, как ударная волна. Земля вибрировала под ногами, в буквальном смысле. Плюс немыслимая энергетика огромной толпы и эпичный вертолет, круживший на малой высоте "абсолютно бесшумно", так как звук со сцены полностью перекрывал звук работы двигателя. Эмоции зашкаливали. Это было самое грандиозное действо в котором мне доводилось участвовать.

is this the most legendary concert of all time? For both musical, political and humanitarian reasons? So insanely epic with Russian soldiers and helicopters swirling around. Finally the soldiers succumb to the epicness of Metallica and starts jumping like the rest of the crowd. I can't even imagine what James and the others of Metallica must have been feeling on that stage.

It's no wonder they sounded so raw and perfect this concert, feeding off that much energy has got to be so fun for a band.
