He also instituted freedom of speech and freedom of the press, and helped Poland gain its independence from Russia. He decentralized the economy and effectively moved Russia away from communism into a new era of capitalist social democracy. If Russia ever had a hero, Gorbachev would be it.

In September 1991, only a month after the August Putsch failed, 1.6 million rock music fans converged in Moscow to enjoy the first open-air rock concert, as part of the Monsters of Rock series. British rock singer Rod Stewart proved that better than anyone else on New Year's Eve 1994/1995. His free New Year's Eve concert attracted a bit more than 3.5 million people that year, making it the biggest concert of all time.

The big structure out in the middle of the crowd is the Production/Engineer "tent."

In 2 months its my 41st bday and I’ve got already the best gift I ever had last friday.. I’ve watched for the very first time the Metallica concert @ Bottlerock, Napa Valley California and it’s their 41 years (since 1981) of sharing amazing rock music and the people still wants to here it after all these years! LONG LIVE METTALICA!!

It truly was the dawn of a new and better era. Walls were falling, peace was beginning to return to minds and hearts of millions, and for many in that crowd, it was their first taste of liberty. What a time it was.

If you thought this was impressive - watch "Creeping Death" from the same show. You can also add Pantera "Domination" to the watch list. They played at this same show in Moscow. By far one of the best break downs in metal music. They were about 29 when this show went down. It was an add on show for the "Monsters of Rock" tour that was already in progress. This was a reward to the people to stop the coup during the fall of the Iron Curtain. This was the first time western music was allowed to be played. 53 people died at this show. The helicopters flew low to not only monitor the crowd and to provide wind to cool down the masses.

Appreciate you! I’ve been diving into a lot of different genres lately and I’m really enjoying all the music out there 🤘

I was 13 in 91' and they had the Monsters Of Rock video with this concert footage. It's about 1.6 million (though, to this day, even the band is still unsure of the precise crowd attendance) I've heard Enter Sandman thousands of times since then, but hearing "The ecstasy of Gold" (their intro tape since 1984) play at the beginning always gives me goosebumps ! It's amazing to see people so oppressed for so long, finally get the chance to vent and go nuts to music the rest of the world has been enjoying for years... it's breathtaking

wow....what a crowd, amazing, never seen so many at one concert....long live rock 'n' roll....

Check out "Creeping Death" from Metallica at this concert! Better be wearing your seat belt because it's a very high intensity song and even more crazy when they play it live!

James was interviewed one time and asked what it was like playing for a crowd like that? His response was, imagine getting out of a shower soaking wet, and walking into a curtain of electricity!!🔥🔥

Haha what a rush

I remember this. It was a million for sure.

Absolutely incredible!

I was 16 years old and I was there with my girlfriend. we had the front row, just 25 feet from the stage. I can still remember the guy next to me was so drunk and died from screaming so loud.

Thanks we need to see this especially in these times of division being sown between our corrupt countries

Harvester of sorrow from this concert is amazing.

So nice to see someone witness this for the first time, i was just the same when first watching it and it drove me to become a pro musician although in metal, these shows will never happen again

Grew up in the 90's. The music, whether rap, rock, metal, grunge, were just amazing. You grow up spoiled like that and you think it will keep on going. The 2000's were ok. Good music were dead by the 2010's.

I've got to ask. How long did it take you to pick your jaw up off the floor? Everyone's hits the floor when they see this vid. Great reaction & hope you're keeping well

I was 18 years old and I was there among this crowd. My friends and I arrived at the field at 5 o'clock in the morning. There were several terrible moments when soldiers and police beat people with clubs, and people threw glass bottles at them. Luckily, my friends and I weren't hurt. Impressions from this concert remained for life! I especially remember the end of the concert - the last song For Those About To Rock, gun shots, salute! It's unforgettable!

That structure directly in front of them is the sound engineer/s doing their best to make them sound amazing. They’re the last line of defense as far as what the audience is hearing. At that size of a show though…forget it. 1.6 million very lucky fans

When you're at a Metallica Concert and close to the stage, say, inside 100 yards, the deeper bass soundwaves can be felt against your chest. They have a series of 18 inch subwoofers, like maybe 20 or 30 of them on each side of the stage in some venues, depending on the size, and you can feel the music, not just hear it.

This is from the Monsters of rock tour and was held on an airfield in Moscow. The choppers flew over the audiense to cool them down.

Next you need to react to Creeping Death, same concert!!!! Even better song, with way more transitions. A real banger!!! It's A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!! Also same concert you should react to Pantera, "Domination ", it's sooo badass!!!!

EPICCCCC !!!! THE CROWD, THE ENERGY.... JUST WOOWWWW

That's where the heart of the band is , the person behind this balanced sound !!

He needs to react to Creeping Death from that concert too lml

This was the first heavy metal concert after the fall of the Soviet Union. This concert, for all intents and purposes, was the funeral for the USSR. So this one time, all of Moscow showed up for Metallica. Yes. 1.6 million people were there.

Aragorn: "We have to attract them, pull them out, empty the land of Mordor to give Frodo safe passage" Metallica: "Hold my beer!"

They let people thru the gates till they got to just over a million. Then they had to just open the gates to let the rest of these people in before it was all over. So, they can only estimate the final total was about 1.5 to 1.6 million. It's insane. Just look at the PA towers out there, that closest one looks like a ten-story building. The second row off in the distance are so far away... really how far away do you have to be to make a ten-story building look like teepee hut out there.

Those are called delay speaker stacks. The first stacks are at the rear of the Front Of House tower, where the sound/lighting consoles are plus a couple of follow spots The audio guy delays those by up to 2 seconds so the audio syncs up with what's being played on stage.

you know its a million people when THE RUSSIAN ARMY is security detail..

Ok so fyi there's the stage. But all the towers that look like stages in distance are sound and lighting towers. How do you think the 700,000 ppl in the BACK heard anything lol with concerts or festivals that big you need to have speakers EVERYWHERE

And no one died. That how metal heads roll dude protect each other, there is a rule in metal concerts if someone Falls help them up. I was born 87. I wish I was a that show.

1.6 million while metallica was playing...it was the biggest concert ever at the time. it was beaten , also in russia. Jean-Michel Jarre's 1997 concert, which marked the 850th anniversary of Moscow, was attended by over 3.5 million people, making it the most widely attended concert of all time.

When they were here in South Africa in 2006 there were 40 000 people in attendance and we were barely a fraction of this. Bloody hell!

Love this song 😭💗

I love hip hop. I do. But watching you react to this historical event made me think. This is the real music. Rap really is crap. Can any hip hop artist say they ever brought in these numbers? No. But Metallica, Pantera, AC/DC, Slayer, etc can. Music died after the introduction of Americas Got Talent. Music became manufactured after that. "Fuck Hip Hop" - Hopsin

Those are sound relay towers. They are often used for large crowds. They match the music and sounds coming from the stage microphones to the rear of the fans are. Without them the sound in the back wouldn't be heard nor matched with what's being played on stage due to the distance. I belive the promotion stopped counting around 6-700k estimates are pegged around 1.6-1.8 million people showed up. Impressive!

I've watched this dozens of times and I still can't believe that many people showed up.

Some stats for you as some comments were a bit off. This was the first ever live rock/ metal concert in Russia held in Mosciw. Standing attenders - 1.3 million. Those listening outside roughly 1.8 million. Estimated number of persons in attendance 3.4 million. It was enough that Russua activated its military as a police force just for this event. No injuries sustained at all.
