We went to see Metallica in Omaha, Nebraska Nov. 6.
It was a great concert!
We had nice seats. 7th row, lower bowl. We were seated right in front of what we think was the sound board.
The band was tight. James sounded great.
The coffin lights were cool. They raised and lowered and moved.
There were fireballs and some multi-colored flames and laser lights. We could feel the heat from the fireballs. I'm glad James didn't catch himself on fire for us.
The fire, lasers and lights were just the icing on the cake. The music was fantastic enough.
There is no studio magic with this band. What you hear on the albums is what you hear live, if not more. Incredibly amazing band.
At the end, James ordered the house lights on and they dropped a bunch of black balls into the crowd. I wish I could have had a Metallica ball. No such luck.
People were getting really sloshed by the time Metallica took the stage. I worried for the safety of a few of them who seemed to defy gravity going up and down the stairs. I wonder if a few of them will even remember seeing Metallica.
There were a couple jerks but overall, people were considerate. Some guys tried to steal our seats. One of the ushers had to come kick them out. Lesson learned. Do not leave your seats.
They guy behind me kept stomping his feet right behind my seat. Metal bleachers that bounced. get the picture. There always has to be one idiot to ruin a perfect evening doesn't there?
Don’t get me wrong though. I loved the concert. Love it.
A lady in front of us looked like she didn't even like Metallica. She was texting on her phone through most of it. What? TEXTING during a CONCERT??? WTF?
I think she was just there for the $10 beers. She left before the end of the concert. What a waste of a perfectly good seat.
My voice is gone from screaming and singing, and I probably lost more hearing, but I will not soon forget this concert.
Kent loved it too.
I already downloaded the audio from the concert directly from the Metallica site.
It's been a dream of mine to see Metallica live for a long time.
I'm so happy I got to see them.
...Now if I could just get my hands on a couple tickets for AC/DC.....

Not too many pics. I just wanted to enjoy the show. I really wanted them to play Suicide & Redemption from Death Magnetic but knew they probably wouldn't play it. I think they should of though. They included 6 songs off the new album. They should of squeezed in one more IMO.
Me and Kent wish they would have included Sanitarium as well. We both really love that song.
We listened to Master of Puppets and Death Magnetic on the way back home.
Death Magnetic is really comparable to Master of Puppets, no doubt about it.
Not my vid, but from the same concert.

We had a similar view as this person. We were almost directly across from where this viewer was.
Good quality. Much better then I got off my camera.
They dropped the balls at the end so watch it all.
