You were right, the intro song (The Ecstasy of Gold) is from the The Good, The Bad and the Ugly soundtrack by Ennio Morricone. It has been Metallica's intro song right from the start, since 1983. They even did a cover version of it for a Morricone tribute album in 2007.
Watch the entire concert. There were several hard hitting bands at this concert. The soldiers were supposed to be security, but they realized the crowd did not pose a threat to the bands, so they started to enjoy the show themselves.
Enter Sandman is one of those songs that even though it’s your first time hearing it, you know you’ll really like it within the first few seconds. Then when it drops you you know you love it.
Thankyou for your reaction⚡️⚡️👊🏽 Takes balls the size of Jupiter to play a song that starts with the words, “ Say your prayers my son…” to a crowd of 1.6 million that were for a generation officially atheist..
Those big towers you see among the crowds? They're boom loudspeakers, so even the farthest people can hear them loudly. Finally 53 people died that day..
Faulse !!!! Jean michel Jarre ( a french electronic musician ) did in the late 80 s - early 90 s mega concerts, totally free... one near the pyramids in egypt, the second in russia.. Each time, the number was estimated betwen 3.5 and 5 millons ;)

P.O.D - Youth of a Nation. This song came out in 2001 and is still relevant today. Powerful song while he's rapping a story. I promise you won't be disappointed.
my earlier thought was only in russsia would they fly military helicopters over a crowd that size. but after a closer look, you can see its just passenger helicopters prolly carrying bands and support material for the show
It's a double meaning, depending on the story you parents told you about bed time. Some stories are about the sandman sprinkles sand in your eyes to make you sleepy. The other story is the sandman is the boogie man and will get you if you don't go to sleep. The song is obviously about that later story.
Actually, James Hetfield wrote the lyrics after his first child was born. He wrote it with the dark meanings because of his own fears that his child would die from SIDS. It is a syndrome where some babies just die in their sleep by stopping breathing.
The sandman originally was one story with both sides. He would bring good dreams and nightmares. Like with most fairytales, the darker side of the story isn't being told in modern versions anymore. This song however, was written about sudden infant death syndrome, which is a nightmare for most new parents.
That was "The Monsters of Rock" concert. 1.6 million Russians with their first (legal) taste of rock. 54 people died in that crowd... Maybe 54/1,600,000 isn't too bad?
For raw, insane energy I suggest the following Metallica - Creeping Death - live in Moscow Pantera - Domination (Moscow) Metallica - Battery (Seattle ‘89) Metallica - The Thing That’s Should Not Be (Seattle ‘89) Imagine being at this show. After years and years of political oppression, you can finally let loose. All that energy that you’ve had to keep secretly bottled up let out all in massive show. James had said in an interview that soldiers were beating attendees because they didn’t understand what that type of release was. And then after a while, they (the soldiers) got in on the action. Bassist Jason Newsted wasn’t sure if they even got paid for that show. But it was a good time. Generals command Armies. Metallica commanded an entire nation.
can you imagine the support staff. 'ya boss, all set up for 1/2 mill ppl, their are gonna and hear a great show' then 3 times that amount crash the party. they didnt even set up large screen tv's for this. so am sure many didnt 'see' the band, but they sure heard them :)
Metallica is my favorite out of every genre. I was introduced to them by this song as a kid. I loved it but it is now my least favorite Metallica song. I don’t know why but after playing their entire discography over and over again I now know they have much better songs than this. Lol I still listen to it though when it comes across my playlist.
I watched many reaction videos on this concert, all of them was made by younger generation, and all of them have common comments like "this is scary, not safe, dangerous..." I do not understand what is so dangerous to you here? there was a 1,6 million people who came to celebrate and enjoy to this biggest ever rock bands music, and nobody died! if you check statistics of, lets say some 2 million people population town, and i am sure there will be more then one unnatural death every day. that fact make this festival perfectly safe.
The 1.6 million figure is probably quite exaggerated. It was more like 500 thousand, by accounts at the time and the size of the place. But one will never know, since admittance to the concert was free.
This is Metallica at their peak. God i miss those days. the '80s and '90s were a hell of a time to be alive. 9/11 i think brought a lot of things crashing down, because afterwards i felt like the 2000's and the 2010's were fairly dull...2020's are exciting so far, but in all the wrong ways.
C&A, a tidbit of info, that you may not have known about this concert. This, like you said, was from the fall of the Soviet Union, yes. But, there is more to this story, than you most likely know. First of all, this concert was done in 91'. Also, there were other band's at this concert, including Ozzy Osbourne. There were 4 stage's there. Now, this concert is in the Guinness Book Of World Record's. Ok, now, to get back to the reason behind the size of the amount of people being there. Up until the collapse of the Soviet Union, unless a bootlegged tape of an album, was smuggled into the country, they were not allowed to listen to the Western world music. Yes, ALL of the Western type's of music, from rock, metal, rap, hip-hop & just about anything associated with the Western part of the world, was banned(Music wise, of course). And, shortly after the collapse, is when they got the band's to go there, for a 3 or 4 day concert(Might have been a full week, been a while since I read the story behind the concert and all of the band's, who were there). Also, AC/DC was there, as well. But, it started out, that you had to have a concert ticket, to get in there. But, it got to the point, that not even the military could restrain them from getting in. So, the concert promoter's & military personnel finally agreed to open it to everyone(Hence, why you even see military guy's havin a great time). So, virtually everyone in Moscow got the word, that it was open for all, so they all ended up showing up, in wave's, to get the experience, that they were all deprived of, for far too long. Now, even though there were at least 1.6M people there, the fatalities and injured number's, were super low, with I believe, around 20(17, if I remember correctly) who died, while there was around 65 injured, from what I remember reading. So, compared to the amount of people there, those are a super low number, for both death's and injured. And, if you look closely at the crowd, you will even see the grandparent's dancin around, as well... Band member's at this concert: James Hetfield: lead vocals & rhythm guitar Kirk Hammett: lead guitar Jason Newsted: bass guitar(Predecessor of Cliff Burton, then Dave Mustaine(Lead vocal's of Megadeth, after he left Metallica and formed Megadeth) & Ron McGovney, later replaced by Robert Trujillo) Lars Ulrich: drum's
Sandman here in US is not so nice lol I was very surprised when I found out he was considered good in Europe. You should react to “Creeping Death” from this same concert, it is even better if you can imagine that.
Not only was this the people’s celebration… it was their reward for helping to defeat the coup attempt by hardliner communists. Up until then, American rock was ILLEGAL and could only be listened to in secret on illegal bootleg tapes. After the CIVILIAN YOUTH helped defeat the coup, they were asked what they wanted as a reward for “helping to save us all”. They said: “We want American rock! We want METALLICA!” So the government flew Metallica and other bands to Moscow, cleared a military airstrip and had a free concert… the FIRST rock concert ever. They stopped counting at 1.6 million. It’s estimated that the actually attendance was about 2.5 million people. Metallica: rock GODS. 🇺🇸 🇷🇺
That was when USSR is collapsed, and todays Russia dind't exists, people thought that they can be friends with USA, but US thought another... we could watch it today...

This song (but mainly video) used to scare the crap out of me😄 I Been laying low for a while but here I go again: Stromae Formidable is at 4.5k and climbing. Maybe not the heaviest of hitters yet, but still more than most NF, Peep, Em or Juice reactions on the channel. Just thought I'd point that out.
Next do Creeping Death same concert! It was actually the very next song. That's why it cut off so soon. Or Master of Puppets from 1989 Seattle concert. They're are A-M-A-Z-I-N-G live !!!!
Can you guys react to Somebody to love by Queen live in Montreal if you haven't heard it. Also if you guys react to shows like My Hero Academia, attack on titan or survivor on patreon, you'll definitely get my money :) thanks guys and great reaction
Thank you for all the support so far, we really appreciate it!! Please continue supporting the channel, your support makes these videos possible 👀 🚀🚀
Metallica - "The Day That Never Comes"
Please and thank you. You guys are the best!!
🤩
don't wake the Russians - they are mad )
1.6 million.
Can you imagine being on stage in front of 1.6 million people inhaling their first taste of freedom to your band?!? Absolutely epic!!
I actually broke down crying the first time I saw this song about a year ago
that must of been an experience. I mean look at all those people.
No.

“Germany sent millions to conquer Russia. American sent 8 and did it in one day.”
I’ve seen you post this on quite a few videos lol
Except it was a few more than 8.. AC/DC, Metallica, Black Crowes, Pantera, and EST were all there for this concert.
cringiest thing ive ever heard
Don't forget I was there in 89 with motley and bon jovi in stadium also 😂
@@subway5907 Waahhh... Wake the fuck up! 1.6 MILLION Russians came out to hear pure FREEDOM!!!!! Socialism SUCKS...
James and Metallica taking a million plus audience in their stride , like yeah were the baddest, biggest, best band ever ,what you saying
Mettalica incredible so surreal to watch and hear this song it just blows my mind
Please please please do Creeping Death from the same concert. The energy is insane! Keep Rocking guys!🤘
Michael Jackson: I have the biggest crowd
Justin Beiber: Mine's not bad too
Metallica: okay.
Pantera played earlier that day too, try Domination Live in Moscow 1991!
Legend has it people are still to this day leaving the show.
Metallia always has Amazing crowds and Energy!
The opening music is ‘The Ecstasy of Gold’, Metallica have used it forever as their intro music before taking the stage…
One of the greatest live show ever
Thankyou for your reaction⚡️⚡️👊🏽 Takes balls the size of Jupiter to play a song that starts with the words, “ Say your prayers my son…” to a crowd of 1.6 million that were for a generation officially atheist..
in the song he refers to tucking in his son, its his actual his son during the spoken word prayer part
Please, the next "the unforgiven"!!!... part 1, 2 and 3
Hey guys love your reaction to the beast of a song it blows my mind even after seeing it hundreds of times loved your reaction
Watch the song directly after this song ended, creeping death, same concert, that song is even more energetic
It was actually about 500,000 when they took the stage. Overall 1.6 million attended the concert over the course of a couple days
Please reaction of Pantera dominations...
What this person is trying to tell you is please react to Pantera, the song is Domination, live from this same concert!!! Tysvm!!!
Legend has it that there are still people leaving that concert for home.
This is a larger crowd then the 3 largest cities in Scotland
"Can they hear?" The tall towers you see throughout the crowd are giant speaker systems...everyone there heard just fine.,.
Lol it should sound 90s. This album came out in 1991. The same year this concert happened. 30 years ago.
Please react Metallica - Fade To Black
Those big towers you see among the crowds? They're boom loudspeakers, so even the farthest people can hear them loudly. Finally 53 people died that day..
I love knowing young kids seeing this!
With 1.6M people in attendance this rock concert is the biggest rock concert in the history of mankind.

saw them in 1988 they are great live
This was before the Soviet breakup. I'm sure this had something to with it through
For raw, insane energy I suggest the following
Metallica - Creeping Death - live in Moscow
Pantera - Domination (Moscow)
Metallica - Battery (Seattle ‘89)
Metallica - The Thing That’s Should Not Be (Seattle ‘89)
Imagine being at this show. After years and years of political oppression, you can finally let loose. All that energy that you’ve had to keep secretly bottled up let out all in massive show.

It’s Metallica, of course they can hear everything. The people up the back probably still go home with hearing impairments… hehe
