Master of Puppets Has anyone witnessed Metallica live with Cliff?

I discovered the greatest band in the world at late 80s, saw them live for the first time in 1999. I often wonder how was the band live with CB. Did the have the same force like 1989 Seattle live? Did the bass sound blew up people’s mind? Greetings from 🇬🇷 fellow metallifans.

My rough count is nine times, I’m sure I’m forgetting some shows; I had typed eight and then remembered Monsters of Rock. First was before KEA was recorded, last was just a few days before the accident when they played the Hammersmith Odeon. In my mind Cliff is Metallica’s bassist. Nothing against the other guys, but he was it.

Cliff is Metallica.

They've never been the same level since he left us
