If you love what you just watched, kindly support me by SUBSCRIBING, LIKING & SHARING this video. Thanks😘

This was only 2 years after the Berlin wall had fallen. To have a band like Metallica preform in Moscow was unheard of prior to that. It attracted *a couple of* people 😁

There are people still walking home from that concert. It is said some people died of old age before they made it home. LMAO

This is what a bit of freedom from oppression looks like.

Yep something like 1.6 million

I was there in my 20. It was the airfield, this concert was free for people. Some guys arrived day before and spent the night within their own tents. The estimated amount of people was more than 1 million, up to 1,5. It took for me 40 minutes to reach the subway station, through the corridor of army guys, who controlled the moving.

This show would have been absolutely incredible. Not only for the crowd size and seeing Metallica in their peak years, but the 'security' was the Soviet army. 🤣

Every time I watch someone react to this video...you CAN feel the energy of that many humans in one place....brings a tear of joy to my soul.

This was right after the collapse of the USSR / Soviet Union. Not many music shows or any form of entertaintment were giving green light by USSR laws , especially not for American rockbands. So when Metallica came to perform right after the collapse,Russians went crazy and they just kept coming and coming to Moscow to see a rock show. The guards couldn't check any tickets because it was impossible to check so many people,which means everybody could now join the show for free , causing even more to people go there. The Army was present, a lot of people got injured,some died, fell in love and I guess some babies were concieved,waiting to be born and live a better Russian life.

I’ve been to several concerts with over 100 thousand people. Including Monsters of Rock in England twice. The music brings the people together and the toughest part is leaving. Not the crowd, you just want more! The energy is without parallel!

Imagine having soldiers of the Red Army as gig security - and them rocking off along the rest of the crowd...

3rd largest concert in world history. Brings back so many good memories. Loved and still love Metallica today.

Legend has it there are still people leaving after the concert to this day

This is my favorite band ever!!! I love to see how people react to them for the first time. They are master performers.. and a live concert is always an amazing experience.

Remember, this was summer of 1991. The Soviet Empire was on its last legs, like a wounded dog. The kids who had been kept away from western culture (in fact, modern rock was banned in Communist Europe) finally felt they had a place to safely cut loose (even though there are many shots of Russian military, at this point, their job was just to look scary). A great tune to react to, from the same time is Wind Of Change by Scorpions.

The mix of joy and absolute confusion on her face is incredible.

1.6 million fans in Russia came to see an American band the greatest heavy metal band Metallica

The Helicopter you seen there was for cooling the crowd off with the rotor blades and also for crowd control.

The helicopters flying over was to check the crowd, but mostly to keep them cool aswell

I like the technical changes you made in this video: The side by side was fun. The switch to having the video you were reacting to briefly at full screen was terrific. And of course I like the fun subtitles. Well done (-:

There was a joke I saw at one point that sums up this show. “Germany sent millions to conquer Russia. American sent 8 and did it in one day.” Generals command armies. In the ‘90s, James Hetfield commanded entire countries. The late 80s thru the 90s Metallica was an unstoppable force. This was a band that went from opening for Ozzy Osborne to selling out full arenas in the span of a couple of years. Metallica - Battery (live Seattle 1989) Creeping Death (Moscow 1991)

The world needs to bring back this kind of music

Believe it or Not this isn't the biggest concert ever held ,that honour goes to Rod Stewart ,Copacabana beach New Year's Eve ,free concert ...3.5 million people !!!!! X

Hahahahahaha the looks on your face says it all beautiful. The amazement in your eyes is the best reaction just a sea of people.

Loved your reaction to this, it was the monsters of rock tour 1991 Metallica, AC-DC, iron maiden and more, it was at a military base airport 1.6 million metal heads rocking out

Legend has it that there are still people leaving that concert for home

This this is how a beautiful lady looks when she is in shock!

That sound you heard was a child’s prayer “now I lay me down to sleep pray the lord my soul to keep if i die before I wake pray the lord my soul to take”

Truly amazed, like what am I seeing and hearing but I can feel the power pumping through me.. Great stuff girl..

That live concert still holds the Guiness Book World's Record for the largest attendance as of the 2023 edition. And Metallica was not the only act in there, that concert lasted a full day ... those helicopters in the air are now security, they're blowing cool air on the ONE POINT SIX MILLION of people down there !

That was a great performance. It sounded so much like the album version. I had this CD when it was new. Awesome music. Metallica will be written in history on the same pages as mozart or the beatles.

Superb!! Biggest crowd I’ve ever seen! Super band! Your reaction was great! 😊🌹

An epic performance. Empress you are a vision in the beautiful blue 😍😍😍😍😍😍🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

Empress,,Your reaction was priceless....Metallica can make you do that.....Great song,Great Reaction......

Empress, your facial reactions were priceless. Primarily, they were astonishment, terror, amazement, all cycling back and forth. The shear size of the event was challenging to comprehend. Additionally, it is my understanding, that the band, Metallica, wasn't even the announced headliner for this particular concert.

Definitely, you are the damn reason to say thank you for listening to the band of my loves, I loved that reaction of yours. A hug from Colombia.

You're the 2nd person I've heard say I've never heard of Metallica before. Literally

I think blue is your color. Great song, great performance, great crowd.

Pantera - Cowboys From Hell (Live @ Monsters of Rock, Moscow 1991)

the helicopter was fanning the crowd keeping them cool and giving them fresh air. ;)

I saw the Beach Boys with Mr. T playing drums in Philadelphia and there were over a million people at the concert.

"What in the name of CROWD!", indeed! Hahahah well said, LOVE that. :D Omg 1.6 MILLION people.. whoahhhhh :o

What an awesome upload on my Birthday!! 😆👍

i love the video format its not many times to see full split screen

Обожаю металлику,фанат на всю жизнь,я даже был на этом концерте, не далеко от первых рядов))

1.6 million attended the event in some capacity. The crowd at the time of this performance was estimated at 400,000

*This is why we must fight AGAINST communism! This was 2+ million people first taste of freedom!* Even the communist soldiers took off their uniforms and started partying. My parents were both at this concert, they met 4 days later for the first time at a restaurant, everyone was talking about this concert. They got married, and moved to the US, and now my brother and I are here 🤣 .. Great reaction!

Well, there was no internet at the time and you only see your favorite bands either in TV guest performance or on MTV and its not even on demand, that is why theres more people watching before

That's one hell of a way to start a concert! There were 1.6 million people there.

So glad you had such a beautiful experience

Nobody will ever top this moment in concert history

This is the most genuine reaction I’ve ever seen.

And to think they played at a bar by me when they 1st started out. Now played for more than a million people

Awesome reaction joy

1.7milion..... imagine standing there freaking out to Metallica! Heaven on earth!

The crowd was estimated to be between 1.6 and 2 million people. Amazingly there were only 54 casualties reported

There were 1.6. Million people at that Moscow concert. The concert was called monsters of Rock. Several other bands were there as well. Apparently this was held not long after the end of the USSR.

"Huss little baby don't say a word" after she asked what the sound that i hear🤣

Best reaction and best smile once again!!

This never gets old.

I liked this! This is the power of music, specifically heavy metal. I’m not really into religion, but if you know metal, you know the power of the universe, god, allah. It speaks through metal in all it’s forms and sub genres .

In the name of crowd. LOL! Love it already!

Those were the days! We thought they'd never end. *winks*

Your beauty makes it hard to focus on the music but thank you my dear for your unique reaction to one of my favorite bands.

largest outdoor concert in HISTORY

Empress "What's that noise?" Metallica: "Never mind that noise you heard."

At the 5:00 mark and you ask what did you hear--- It was the voice of a little girl saying the child's prayer, "Now I lay me down to sleep (repeated: Now I lay me down to sleep) Pray the Lord my soul to keep (repeated: Pray the Lord my soul to keep) If I die before I wake ( repeated: If I die before I wake) Pray the Lord my soul to take."

Alwasy so nice that the begin with the "the Good,The Bad and the Ugly"

Check out other live performances!! Metallica live in Seattle 89 is amazing ALL of their songs are played so well so you should pick one to watch. Blackened leading into For Whom The Bell Tolls is absolute chills..

1.5 million there to see the concert, and another 100,000 at the back thought it was the line to buy bread

That, miss, were rock concerts in the 80s and 90s. They hardly do that big concerts anymore. And this one was of course something special. Due to safety issues and fragmentation of the market, such crowds are out of the question now. You can see that big crowds still at a few festivals, but not as big as this one anymore. Loved your reaction!

LOL I just saw every possible human emotion cross your face in less than five minutes. I have read that there were over 1.5 million people at that concert. It is absolutely incredible to think of that many people in one location having fun.

Epic reaction!!!

the quality sound mix live is crazy for 1991

The noise was the "Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep" prayer

You know what might have been part of the motivation to come in such a big crowd? Freedom. Russia has a shortage of it, and this concert was a chance to taste it.

I saw this live. Amazing concert.

The song is about Night Terrors. Which I had as a kid. Cool song.

I worked security at a metalica event i swearthese guys sound better live than anyone else there brilliant

And this is what happens when you play to a crowd of 1.8 million a legendary music moment

In 1991 Russia dropped its ban on western music. Concert organizers were quick to act and invited most of the US rock bands to their 1st outdoor rock festival. Ticket sales exceeded 2 Million. You just witnessed an amazing moment in history. And one of the very few times you will see a US flag flying over Russian soil.

In 1991, a Metallica concert became the 4th largest city in Russia (by population, something along those lines).

wow, you did it! thank you!

Music can bring people together

I was at one Metallica concert, it was very amazing, unique experience!

Loved your reaction Metallica has so many great songs you react to more of them The Unforgiven is one of my favorites it’s about the lead singers childhood his childhood

I have to tell you that your shock of a react was same as mine! Never seen anything like it! Keep doing your thing and cover Harry Mack if you aren't already! Promise worthy of your time!

Even the Russian cops were rocking. Most people there probably don’t even understand English but understand the beat. Funny at the beginning of video to see an American and Confederate flag waving in the crowd.

They counted 1.6m.but they let more in because they ran out of tickets. And the helicopters were for cooling the people down. And their were like over 50+ deaths. Which makes sense.

They (metallica bands) strengthen our ties around the world

This was in 91. the final concert of Metallica, on Khodynskoe Pole. Nobody expected that there would be so many spectators - 1 000 000 - it's horror! the organizers got scared, but nothing happened ...

The largest rock concert was Rod Steward estimates between 3.5 to 4.2 million followed by Metallica 1.6 million.

Нас рать детка! И мы любим песни потяжелей!!!

How long to leave? I don't know about this concert, but in the USA at a Nascar race there are over 100,000 people and it takes about 4 to 5 hours to get the crowd and traffic out and some people just pitch a tent and sleep over night rather than try to deal with the traffic. Most Nascar events they close down one side of a highway and use it only for the race fans to exit on. The biggest concert I went to was about 50,000 people at an AC/DC concert, and to put that in perspective, that is like the entire population of a small to medium size city. God help you if you have to use the bathroom or have a medical emergency. I saw one woman be lifted and passed over the crowd with the crowd acting like a human conveyer belt. It was the fastest way to move her. The lead singer told the fans to help her get to the medical tent.

Beautiful and that accent is so lovely.

1.6 million at least in attendance….and the amazing thing is most of the countries that are represented here can build a boat that can float on an ocean…lol

It was the "Monster of Rock festival" there was also : Black Crow, Panthera, AC/DC

remember back when guys that wanted to be in a band....actually started by trying to get good with a musical instrument...rather than a beat box or garage band software....ahhhh, the good ole days.

Two things..Jason's windmill and the Empress' beauty

You have got to do more Metallica. They are phenomenal
