Really powerfull stuff. Took place about a month after the hardliner's coup attempt and the police initially acted pretty harshly though the concert continued and things seem to have calmed down afterwards. Features Metallica, AC/DC, Pantera etc. It's over an hour long but it's recommended watching. (unless you really hate this music)
As a part of the Monsters of Rock tour, Metallica performs a free concert in Moscow at the Tushino Airfield, before a crowd estimated between 150,000 and 500,000 people. Legend has it that the Russian prime minister Mikhail Gorbachev personally invited the band to play at the concert. The concert features also AC/DC and Pantera. More than 1,000 militiamen are on guard around the stage, and more are hidden in trucks parked further away. Their violent methods of controlling crowds leave 53 people injured.
