We bought these tickets nearly 2 years ago and have been anxious as hell for it!
I didn’t take a lot of video at all, I was too busy enjoying the shit out of it, but we were about 20 rows lower and a few rows to the right from this guy.
The sound on that vid is not at all what it sounded like last night. That audio was fucking perfect! Wolf and Pantera both sounded GREAT. People were definitely taking their time filtering in during their sets but by the time Pantera played “Walk” you could start feeling the energy/volume of being in a stadium full of people ready for a metal show.
Regardless of your take on Metallica’s output for the last several decades, those guys know how to put on a fucking show. There’s a reason those guys play stadiums and they do it damn well. Even watching Pantera, seeing Zakk and Phil own that stage and have zero problem being the center of 60,000 people’s attention and just delivering. But Metallica is so at ease up there and then with the production, everyone gets a great show.
The guitars were clear as a bell, you could hear every pick attack, every clam, everything. My buddies, who have heard me talk about Fractal PLENTY over the years, would occasionally nudge me to bust my balls, wink and say “That’s all Fractal”
We were a bit worried about how it’d sound at Gillette, my buddy has seen a few concerts there and it’s either great or terrible, but from our seats I couldn’t have asked for better sound. What made me really stoked was seeing this little kid, maybe 9 or 10 with his jaw on the floor watching everything a few seats down from us. In almost the same spot, I was that same kid watching Floyd blow my mind in the old Foxboro stadium in ‘94.
Tomorrow night Five Finger Fart Box and some band I keep forgetting the name of are opening, we don’t really care much about them so tomorrow might be the “Our last night to get tanked together until my next vacation” tailgate night, but I can’t fucking wait to see Metallica again!
