I just imagine how insanely good Cliff would've been with another 30 years of playing. He was already a bass god back then, but what a treat it would be to hear him still playing today.

And considering how different the guys all look and sound compares to back then, I wonder what Cliff would look and sound like today. Well, TBH, only James and Jason have changed voice wise. Kirk and Lars still sound the same as they did when they were young.

James actual voice is the same, but he tore up his voice chords in 92 so that's why he can no longer sing like the badass he used to be, which is possibly one of the worst things that has ever happened in metal hisotry, James vocals made metallica sound epic, now and since 92 is just not the same...in fact he sounds worse than James Labrei at times

Since my mother and I live in New York, we heard that they were going to Webster hall so we just went to at least see James or someone. Someone in charge came out saying that there were spaces available and my mother actually got in. I didn’t since I’m still a minor (yes it fucking sucks) but my mother had a blast. Literally 25 dollars and got to experience this.

Hearing Orion being performed without Cliff still fucks me up to this day. You can feel the energy of sadness in the room. I get teary eyed every time. So talented, so young and gone too soon. Rest on Cliff, your friends are doing an amazing job keeping you alive.

This is one of the most quintessential Metallica songs to me. How many bands put out 10 minute long instrumentals that everyone knows. Even those this is a Cliff song Bob has this song mastered.

I love how they pay tribute to him and keep his spirit alive.

Rob has this song mastered, love watching him play it, and I'm really glad they've been playing Orion live in recent years. Their best tracks have no words.

With the influence Metallice has had on bands, and with the influence Cliff had on Metallica, where would Metal be today if he had lived on?

This has always been my favorite Metallica song!! They never play the whole thing live (understandably) so this was awesome to see!! ❤❤❤❤

Cliff would be proud RIP bass wizard😭

Might never have started playing music if not for Cliff's playing, and I was born after his unfortunate passing. Brilliant tribute to a brilliant bassist by another brilliant bassist.

Best instrumental of all time hands down

James was definitely feeling it in this video especially in the beginning.

R.I.P, Cliff. Orion is a beautiful piece and may you live on through it's Legacy and your own!

Yo. That was tight like a mothafucka. James went to that special place in his head playing that. Cliff definitely brought sweeping harmonies into Metallica. Orion is a masterpiece. Rob did Cliff proud.

That was one of the best versions of orion, in remembrance of the great cliff burton.

They seem hesitant at first....almost as of they are afraid they'll break the song....then as they go they get more and more on the groove. When they soft part starts they are all feeling it so strong....then it kicks up again and the end is so fucking tight. Damn.

Its been 35 yrs now And even ppl not even born on his death See him play from back then And their jaws just hit the ground in awe

It's sad that I didn't get to see cliff live still fucking miss him😢 RIP CLIFF BURTON ❤️ your still in my heart ABSOLUTE LEGEND ❤️ rob does cliff justice!

we miss you Cliff. Best bass player of all time

god bless Rob for playing beautifully. R.I.P Cliff and thank you so much for Cliff and Metallica for making my favorite instrumental/song of all time. ORION!!! 🤘

They came to the play in Zürich and when this song came i just stood there and listened, didnt move, just stood there, amazed by their performance

I can’t imagine how hard this was for them. Especially James, Kirk, and Lars. I think it is amazing that they did this and they stayed strong throughout it❤️❤️

ALL HAIL CLIFF!

Cliff came back to life once the guitars kicked in.
