I was there. This was my first time seeing them live. Metallica at the @#$% Irvine Meadows Amphitheatre!
And Justice For All Tour. Faith No More opened. There were bonfires up in the Lawn area.
OH, NOTHING….JUST THREE ENCORES!!
Best Setlist Ever.
I remember it was the END of a MASSIVE tour for them. They were EXHAUSTED and STILL brought it ALL OUT ON STAGE!! I am astonished how DEAD the audience was. Even up front. They would clap for five seconds and go silent. Orange County!
These were the days when Metallica was scary
I prefer 1988 Metallica over 1989.
JASON @#$% NEWSTEAD
Damn the crazy thing is i was 9 years old when they did this concert. And im now 45. And it feels like it's been 10 😂
That's some Iron Maiden level Stage Set
That version of am i evil. Lol. Seeing james on that kit was fucking hysterical. And jason not palm muting anything.
FunFact: On March 11, 1988 – 1 1/2 years BEFORE this concert – I went to see Red Hot Chili Peppers at Cal State Northridge. Epic show. I still have the Set List off the monitor.
James Hetfield was in the crowd, by himself, toward the back, just outside the pit, arms folded – rocking out to RHCP (Uplift Mofo era)
I walked up to him. I can't believe how @#$% tall he was/is. I told him that my metal friend had played me the Master of Puppets LP a couple years prior and that I was grateful.
Up to that time, I ONLY listened to So Cal Punk (Black Flag, Circle Jerks, Germs, Fear, X). My friend – and Metallica – opened me to metal.
James smiled, shook my hand and said: "Cool, man." folded his arms and proceeded to to rock out to "Backwoods".
Me too. Excellent choice.
Thanks, James.
The boys' cover of "The Wait" does not get the respect it truly deserves. What an absolute fucking RIPPPPPPPPPPPPPPER.
Larz has the COVID blinking eyes
Powerful, unstoppable, and a force to be reckoned with. Tallica was on another level.
I wish I could take a time machine back to this tour 🤘🏼
And of course no bass
Jason in his Vio-lence Oppressing the Masses shirt…
I WAS THERE
Same your…88’, Savannah Ga Civic Center.
I saw this tour at the Spectrum in Philly in 1989.
Really good concert. Great musicians🖤
When Metallica ruled the FUCKING WORLD!
I saw them 6 months and 10 days earlier on this tour. My first concert ever at 14 years old.
Awsome concert. 😀😃😄😁😊
couldn't find anyone to go to this when they arrived, seeing the Justice tour at 17, was sonically formative, What a fuckin' show, the best.
14'35 to 14'52 lars is out 😅
i went to see theirNA tour in WPG at 2001, it was consider a stop of US tour instead of CA, also it was Jason's last tour as a Metallica member, I think that was one of my biggest bless in life to see him on stage with the band.
2:08:30 😅
Danish Dickinson hit the lights
Metallica upyourass
For anyone who loves to diss Lars's drumming skills WATCH THIS!
Saw Black Sabbath there. Great venue
Was this one with Faith No More? I think my friends and I tailgated in the parking lot and listened from outside of the venue.
Later in October 1989, I attended the concert in Sao Paulo. It was my first live concert! unforgettable!
True Metallica 💪💥
So freakin badass! Audio is perfect!
O M F G 🤘
🤘🏵️🌰🏵️🤘👍🎉🤘
I was there down in front. Got James’ red Solo beer cup!!
When Metallica ruled the world!!!!
Seen this tour at the UIC Pavilion in Chicago with Queensryche killer Show!!!!
Look how much fun that crowd is having without cell phones!
10 minutes of promotion BS, so punk.
Jason. So underappreciated.
I saw them on this tour, I think in Long Beach, with Queensryche opening for them. Not sure if QR opened here as well?
💥🎧💥
Mantap.. Amazing🤩🤩
Metallica Mondays made loxkdown a blast.
real amps and lars haters can eat a deek
I saw them on this tour at the Mississippi Gulf Coast Coliseum in Biloxi and the cult was opening up for them it was my very first concert and it blew me away and then they put out the Black Album😅
