My hometown (Khimki) is near the Tushino airfield. I was about 1 year old when this event happened. My parents later told me that when the music started it could be heard from any place in the nortwest of Moscow region, which is about 20 kilometers away or much further. So I can assume that the music could be heard all over Moscow too. What a historic moment! This metal gods has blown the place into pieces! I will envy those who were fortunate to be there for the rest of my life...
If the guy who uploaded the video had it monetized, he would currently have gained around 68 000 dollars. And I don't think he did. So thank you for giving us that video for free Sr. Batista.
Helicopters above you and a sea of humans right in front you and you the front man of THE GREATEST BAND in the Planet....James must have felt like a God.
One of the best live performances ever, no question. What I would give to have been there (but I was 6 years old)... I'm not even into heavy metal and I can recognize this as one of the most epic moments in musical history... Holy fuck.
This is the time when music and expression is more important, unlike today people are more attracted by the appearance of a performer on stage people some times look for good looking people dancing on stage. They even claimed to have an army but METALLICA much more to have an army.
Sofaki Metall I was born in 96 what you talking about, Born the day pac died. The only Concerts I'm going to go to is the hologram 1s because all the Legends are pretty much dead.
@@MsArcher41 "According to various sources (the exact figure cannot be given, because the entrance was free), on Saturday, from 300 to 400 thousand people visited the airfield in Tushino. They did not reach the Guinness Book of Records (while the record for attendance of the free Jean-Michel Jarre show in 1989 in Paris, which was attended by 1 million 300 thousand spectators, is held), but maybe this is for the best." Moskovsky Komsomolets" 01.10.1991
It is impossible to record 1.6 million to the papers in a day in 1991. Yes it was a free concert which means at least x2 or x3 of audiences have possibility to get to concert without even seen in the mixure of crowd. But that day there was not just Metallica there. It was a multi band festival which includes AC/DC and Pantera like bands. From begining to end new audiences could come partly and estimated numbers could be guess like that. But shortly when you look at the horizon in the concert it looks like endless when you compare with other concerts. I think there were at least 1m people to join the festival in a day which means crazy.
Found Metallica 6 years ago and this song/video was the first song I ever heard! Still, love it today! And i was to my first Metallica concert 27th of March in Denmark! Love it !!
A monumental moment in history and ending the communism, new era, new free life...people were hoping that the terror is finally over! Just look the crowd.. chilling.....there are millions of people there, guarded by the army, not just the police, am army!!.. People truly celebrating the freedom and hoped for better future!! Western world will never knew how those people felt in those moment! Better TH-cam to keep this video forever!
You totally misunderstood how people felt it. It was just a banger, big party. Not some idea of freedom of something. We didn't consider ourselves unfree. Change? INteresting future? Yeah. But not freedom ideas.
@@skywillfindyou Big party dosent mean that probably some other people thаn you felt it different back than - free, with hopes. It's not just your perspective....I do probably misunderstood your point of view and it's ok, but don't speak of the name of all.
People put too much politics in the comments. It was just a concert of the most popular band in the biggest European city after decades of the iron curtain. Nobody won the cold war. Nobody invaded Russia.
Thanks for uploading this. You got me into Metallica. Made me pick up a guitar and have the motivation to keep learning till I played as powerful as them. Never until that point have I ever heard as powerful music as this. And to think this is live... So badass.
there were about 1.6 million people at this concert, but that is still less than 1/2 of what Jean-Michel Jarre and Sir Rod Stewart had 3 1/2 million but still massive, and people try to say they suck....1.6 mil people can't be wrong.
Archie Dyer Thunderstruck is also sick as f* and overall I must say I prefer AC/DC over Metallica but this intro still is the best I've heard so far. Good point though!
Dios mio!!!! concierto epico y inolvidable ; si hubiera una maquina del tiempo sin duda iria a este concierto y verlos de cerquita para decirles que los amooooo
where i live, when they teach you at schools the fall of the USSR, they take an example of the first Mc Donalds build in Moscow. But I believe that this video and more specifically at 1:27, when you see that soldier with no cap on and dancing to the music. Thinking that Metallica could bring so many people on the same place in Russia. That's a better example of the end of the Cold War, in my opinion (sorry for the potato english ).
i don't know why but when the drums start beating @1:13 i have a vision of them working on some massive tank engine trying to get it to start - the guitars is like the engine turning over, the drums when they skip a beat like @1:26 is like when the engine is spluttering and mis-firing and the more they keep trying the more it sounds like it is going to start until suddenly @1:49 "BOOM" the engine fires into life with a huge fireball from the exhaust and @1:50 the swinging hair is the engines huge cooling fan at max revs, now they are ready for Battle
A great song always has a great intro. And Enter Sandman has a great intro riff. Man i love how the crowd are going nuts at thebeginning. It must be a glorious loud noise of mayhem at the start of Sandman. The guys sound so tight here. Friggin awesomeness. Love Metallica (aka The Black Album)😁

I was there. I am 42 now. I have goosebumps everytime I saw this video.
+yurii breusov epic!
+yurii breusov What year was this concert? And where exactly?
+renevp2 year 1991 at Moscow
+yurii breusov your very very old... almost in the grave...
+yurii breusov that's amazing! did you get really fucked up?
1.6 million people screaming, one of the largest concerts ever! Probably the greatest live performance in metal history.
The energy of this concert is greater than all atomic bombs in human history COMBINED.
That's only 2
ricky diamond More like thousands. Two were used in combat but thousands have been made and thousands still exist in a fair amount of arsenals.
***** watch Iron Maiden at rock in rio 2001.
+Sullen Demigod Yes. And many of those have been detonated. Just not used in war or to actually, you know, kill people.
Agree 100 %.
You don’t have to be a Metallica or even a metal fan to be amazed by that video
Agree
tru
2:34 He came all the way from middle earth to watch Metallica perform:-)
HAHAHA HARSH BUT GOOD ONE! XD 😂
Where who? Lol
Oh nvm lol
Hahahahahahahah
Prashant That made me laugh so much man :''''')
Legends say people are still leaving this concert.
Aayush Kaliraj lol it took us 1 hr to leave the Baltimore 2k17 concert I could only imagine trying to leave this oh god
People that were in front of the stage went there like 2 days before the concert xd
Their still arriving, I know I'm in the cue.

Sad that something like this will never happen again in our lifetimes :(
Rock nacioanL
SO Epic. 3:12 the military man twirling his jacket is so cool. Such strong military presence. Truly an epic concert!
This is what we call true concert.
FUCK YEAH \M/
no one will ever be able to repeat this again, not even bieber can pack a crowd of 1 million people
bro don't even mention that name in here, Have some respect!!
Greig Robertson never say never lol just joking fucking hate the dick, love metallica
METALLICAAAAAAAAAAAA
Greig Robertson even more than a million, it was 1.3 there were another 300,000 people to add to this
Greig Robertson agreed
For those wondering, there's approximately 1.6 million people on the crowd.
Moscow, 1991.
Damn...
LOL You have NO idea what 1.6 million people look like...Just saying.
Concert held at an airfield, that's how big the concert was. One of the largest concerts in history.
Holy shit
I can't process that...that's to much people
Legends has it,people are still at exit queue from this concert.
If the guy who uploaded the video had it monetized, he would currently have gained around 68 000 dollars.
And I don't think he did.
So thank you for giving us that video for free Sr. Batista.
You can't monetize footage ripped from a product, in this case Metallica's "Monsters of Rock" concert CD.
It’s been like 27yrs and i keep watching this video... just can’t stop
the best
1.- The hair of Lars
2.- The voice of James
3.- The Helicopter of Jason
4.- The waah effect of Kirk Wahmmett
HElicopter hahhahahaha
😅
Helicopters above you and a sea of humans right in front you and you the front man of THE GREATEST BAND in the Planet....James must have felt like a God.
One of the best live performances ever, no question. What I would give to have been there (but I was 6 years old)... I'm not even into heavy metal and I can recognize this as one of the most epic moments in musical history... Holy fuck.
This was No Concert ,,,,This was a History !!!
Baio nitz 0:24
jason's windmill headbanging entrance always gives me goosebumps
No phones, no selfies, just hand in the air, damn good old days they've got 💪
That head bang by Jason and James is so perfect
4 mins till Christmas day rocking out to Enter Sandman. What a way to see it in.
Are we ignoring the fact theres a fucking helo flying around? Jesus christ. Cant get more epic than this. Mighty Metalica!!
such a shame Legendary live events such as this and AC/DC's Thunderstruck will NEVER be seen or heard as good as this ever again.
Metallica are the gods of metal. I nearly cried watching this just because of the atmosphere. My generation doesn't know real music.
Zach Moser maiden
Iron maiden
many legends says that people are still leaving this concert
My God, what a crowd and what an adoration to music, great
This is the time when music and expression is more important, unlike today people are more attracted by the appearance of a performer on stage people some times look for good looking people dancing on stage. They even claimed to have an army but METALLICA much more to have an army.
People have always looked for how a performer looks. That’s why Motley Crue got all this chicks going to their concerts
No doubt. This is the best video of all TH-cam. Pure Gold
Imagine how many years ago.. and people are still commenting till today.. holy shit.
Wish I was born in 70's & grew up in 80's & 90's & died a soon as 2000 came around.
you are luckier than you think , i was born in 1997 :|
Sofaki Metall
Me 2 :( ,Fuck 21 century.Technology SUCKS!
Sofaki Metall I was born in 96 what you talking about, Born the day pac died. The only Concerts I'm going to go to is the hologram 1s because all the Legends are pretty much dead.
Skating HIGH Metallica is still alive.
***** I said all the legends are pretty much dead, not all.
Best Metallica concert. Real crowd and real music.
1.5 million people. The most amazing concert in world history.
Mert Uslu 820.000
no soviet authority ever said Metallica concert was over 1.6 million
people
@@RoverWaters Do you really think Soviet governments were famous about telling the truth ? Lol.

Only Metallica can have 70 millions views on a 240p video
with 221k likes and only almost 5k dislikes :D
bodynible and those 5k are accidental clicks ;)
Yep. That`s right ;)
bodynible when you get to be so popular people will hate you, its the nature of popularity.
correction, 83 millions and still counting..
If we ever come in touch with other civilizations in other galaxies....this song is to communicate...
Found Metallica 6 years ago and this song/video was the first song I ever heard! Still, love it today! And i was to my first Metallica concert 27th of March in Denmark! Love it !!
Now this should have been the Super Bowl Half Time Show. Screw JT up there shaking his ass. This is talent!

One of the greatest classic rock performance of all time for sure and I will always love the Metallica
Best 240p video in all youtube.
Happy 50th birthday Lars!! Cheers to 50 more!!
Thanks for being so fucking awesome! \m/
THIS IS FUUUCKING HISTORY RIIIIIGHT THEERE!!!
Yeah, we had a nice YT flash mob back in 2010 on this video, bumped 30 millions of views in a single day IIRC :)
Amazing concert and yeah the performers 🙏 still gives you goosebumps in 2019
I was born this year 😬
Who watched this in 2019. Best concert ever!!!
я смотрю. Привет из Украины!
Countrys may be on the borderline of war. But music can bring everyone together
I heard on the news people are still leaving this concert
Oh shit. After almost 30 years they're still leaving?? 😳🤣🤣🤣
The energy scene dominance that has not fallen for all these years is awesome.
History was made and thus the Soviet Union dissolved... Thank You Metallica...
Hey, do you follow the events in Crimea? round 2 is coming up :P
top lel I had a bad feeling about that. But Putin better make some decent choices with Crimea...
top lel Metallica is just going to play there and blow the Russians collective mind.
Jesus Christ Thank you, Jesus, for your inspirational words of Jesustude.
GoredonTheDestroyer
that is alright my child

Я был там. Воспоминание всей своей жизни. Дима 42 годика.
Повезло )
Меня тогда еще не было)
James and Jason's headbanging is just amazing, and Kirk's solo took my breath away
Yes of cors 😉\m/
Whenever someone says Metallica sucks, I tell them about this video. Metallica FOREVER.
Starting my 2018 with this song on max volume \m/
Boss AwDs same
Thanks for uploading this. You got me into Metallica. Made me pick up a guitar and have the motivation to keep learning till I played as powerful as them. Never until that point have I ever heard as powerful music as this. And to think this is live... So badass.
Only took 30 years
That’s awesome! I’m always thankful that I picked up the guitar, brought so much. Hope it did the same for you, my friend!
I saw Metallica in August ‘91 in Budapest. The atmosphere was pretty much the same, they opened with enter sandman. That was monsters of Rock
there were about 1.6 million people at this concert, but that is still less than 1/2 of what Jean-Michel Jarre and Sir Rod Stewart had 3 1/2 million but still massive, and people try to say they suck....1.6 mil people can't be wrong.
I only counted 1.59 million ...
This song never gets old....
legend has it the crowd are still leaving
I'm just wondering, what if someone has to go pee. Where do they go? Can they even go? Or do they just "go" in the middle of the crowd
The BEST of the BEST...hard rock music
Legend has it people are still leaving the concert
GXLD SAM haha that me laugh hard 😂
Probably the best song intro in music history, hands down!
thunderstruck?
Archie Dyer Thunderstruck is also sick as f* and overall I must say I prefer AC/DC over Metallica but this intro still is the best I've heard so far. Good point though!
Dios mio!!!! concierto epico y inolvidable ; si hubiera una maquina del tiempo sin duda iria a este concierto y verlos de cerquita para decirles que los amooooo
“Former” headbanger. Now herniated disks in my cervical spine. Omg....... do Metallica fans EVER get old?? NO WAY!!!!!
where i live, when they teach you at schools the fall of the USSR, they take an example of the first Mc Donalds build in Moscow. But I believe that this video and more specifically at 1:27, when you see that soldier with no cap on and dancing to the music.

That's a better example of the end of the Cold War, in my opinion (sorry for the potato english ).
90% kids at my time wanna be a rock star , musicians or make a band because of one and only "METALLICA"
What a wonderful metal concert.. fans headbanging all the time,... no smart phones, tablets and shit.
this was in 1991 not many people had them
вот времена были!! сейчас страшно находится в таком количестве людей..неадекватов много..да и нет таких, ради которых можно собрать столько людей))
The best live version of Entersandman
Agree - louder and more raw - too much polish and bull shit now - go back to basics loud and proud
What a crowd I'm jealous of their era
FUCKING GODLIKE.That time and in that Country at that concert even the Soldiers where losing there shit
my son used to have a prayer above his crib. Every time I got to the end of it I would end up singing this song. His mom was not happy.
Best 240p video ever!!!!!!
They knew Metallica was coming and said forget about hiring "Event Staff", we better bring in the whole damn ARMY for this ONE!!!!!!!!!
The army are more into it than the audience -- what a show this must have been!!
Between 1.5 million and 1.6 million were at this concert. It was not long after the fall of the soviet union
Rice Waster Aleks that has to be the largest concert of all time then? Now that would be some day out
It was actually a few months before the official fall of the soviet union
Well now we know why it fell
i don't know why but when the drums start beating @1:13 i have a vision of them working on some massive tank engine trying to get it to start - the guitars is like the engine turning over, the drums when they skip a beat like @1:26 is like when the engine is spluttering and mis-firing and the more they keep trying the more it sounds like it is going to start until suddenly @1:49 "BOOM" the engine fires into life with a huge fireball from the exhaust and @1:50 the swinging hair is the engines huge cooling fan at max revs, now they are ready for Battle
1.6 million people!
by far best metallica concert ever
Let me fix this for you, this is by far the best musical concert ever, not only of Metallica
This concert helped to destroy communism more than the trillions spent on weapons. The force of rock.
no it didn't
Epic! I think this is the massive concert of history of rock and roll
You can feel the energy!
Unforgettable concert....
No celulares, no cell phones!!! solo rock, just rock.
probably best enter sandman live performance...I love James sound, I miss those hairs too...
i have watched this video like a 100 times
same here dude
None ever conquered the mighty mother russia
Except Metallica, metallica rules everywhere
Put Russians and Americans together who love Rock n Roll, oh boy, what a party with PEACE. From the United States.
That's absolutely true my friend! Only fckng politicans want our blood and money...
From Russia with love!))
Almost 84.5 million views! Truly, the best performance of Enter Sandman live! 600.000-1.500.000 people!
LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL
I played this so loud my neighbor threw a brick through my window to hear it better!!
Michael Casey that just means you weren’t playing it loud enough, gotta learn to take the hint man
U!!! Genius
Even the KGB is rocking.......
FUCK YEAH🤘🏼😈🤘🏼
A great song always has a great intro. And Enter Sandman has a great intro riff. Man i love how the crowd are going nuts at thebeginning. It must be a glorious loud noise of mayhem at the start of Sandman. The guys sound so tight here. Friggin awesomeness. Love Metallica (aka The Black Album)😁
You don't really get to see a gig like this now m, everything is so commercial and expensive, those times were different.
People are different too.
:(
109reaper soooooooo9 different lol that was like hell was about to explote
In Mother Russia, Sandman enters you.
Mother russia is falling apart, thanks Sandman)
🤨
I’m sorry what
There was a different kind of energy there, a huge change in the country, can’t be duplicated just like Woodstock
Never gets old this vid. Still as good every time round.
Came back to watch this and this gem jumped to 83 million views hell yes
Schehrazad A gbdhbcjdbdjx
2:35 highlight of his life. I bet he still shows this video to his friends
yeah XD
I take off my hat for the intro of Morricone
One of the best Metallica songs ever written
