1.6 million pesky Russians
In 1991, the ‘Monsters of Rock’ festival in Moscow would go down in history as one of the biggest concerts to ever take place, with a huge 1.6 million attendees. It marked the most momentous of performances for the heavy metal band, Metallica. The record-breaking crowds that day are thought to have only been seen on four other occasions. An aerial shot of the crowd when Metallica played is a breathtaking image that gives you some idea of the scale of the crowd that day. 1991 was a historical year the host city, Moscow, with a series of events that ultimately led to the dissolution of the Soviet Union and their Communist rule. The hosting of the country’s first, free open-air rock concert was incredibly significant to the people of Russia. For all these reasons, the video of Metallica's performance on the day has become legendary. Watch video in comments below
