Was going through some posters tonight and I happened to notice that this poster was for a show that happened exactly 20 years ago today. This was sent to me by a German trader that told me this was his first Metallica concert. It is a pretty cool poster from that era, as lots of the posters from that tour are pretty boring and there are also quite a few counterfeits from that era on the market as well. Like most of the the German posters this poster from Belgium is on pretty thin paper and thus these European posters are very susceptible to creasing and general wear. However, this one in my collection is in great condition.
It is worth noting that I am pretty sure that this was the first show to be played after the tour with Guns and Roses. It was also the first show with James back on guitar after his pyro accident in Montreal. Hard to believe all of this was 20 years ago... On another somewhat related October note, it is even harder to believe that it has already been two years since the Big 4 tour and box set was released. The box was release October 2010.
