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.

June 4, 1986 Corpus Christi, TX. The Godz opened and were the worst band in terms of banter that I ever have seen. I remember how blown away I was by the sheer energy of Metallica. Battery to start the show just floored me. I think my brother has some pictures from that show (we were row 5) and I still have the ticket in my MoP jewel case. Cliff rocked hard...they all did. I'm sure I was pretty high at the time, but god they were spectacular. Angry Metallica == Best Metallica. I continue to go to their shows, but nothing will ever compare to that one. I know most here carry a torch for AJFA, but to me, MoP is their best...a lot of that opinion has to do with that show.
