Summary
There are tours. And then there are Metallica tours. In this episode, Lars, James, and Kirk share what it was like playing communist Russia in front of millions – and that doesn’t include the government, who was watching them too. The stories move on to playing Day On The Green in Oakland, and at The Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert in London. Other road warriors include: Tony Smith, Big Mick Hughes, Jake Perry, Ross Halfin, Geoff Tate, and Jason Newsted.
