For the folks that saw the Pittsburgh GnR/Metallica show I HAVE TWO QUESTIONS.

1-How old were you then?

2-How old are you now?? Haha

Me first... it will be 20 years in July. o.O

25 then ... 45 now.. Boo!!

Don't remember the start time,but I remember it was still light out for Faith No More.

In fact,it was still light when Metallica started.

FTM and Metallica were pretty punctual both times I saw that tour...Guns were the loose canons for start times.

Metallica's set was fairly formulated and didn't stray from form...in fact...the exact same banter ensued both times (you guys are fuckin louder than last night,you guys are the loudest fuckers on this tour yet...it all seemed pretty scripted).

Guns was just as chaotic as always...playing whatever song they were in the mood for.Which I always loved about them,keeps it fresh and interesting.

But yeah,I'd say FTM probably started around 7 or 7:30 (just a guess).

I know Metallica was on stage not too long after...the changeover was pretty quick.

That's my semi-sober take on events and I'm sticking to it!

@zint61 Me too. Lol! You remember it about like I do.. 7-7:30 I would guess.. Wasn't MotorHead there too? I don't remember. I think they were supposed to be.. But we got in late.

I can remember this was about the same time I plunged my soul into the Grunge Seen There were about 15 or 16 of us that went to this show. I remember F.T.M. playing as we got in. It was a rainy, cloudy, and MUGGY summer Pittsburgh evening. Four of us were under the first deck near where first base/right field would have been, (DRY). The rest of us were in the front row of that section [about 6 rows in front of our friends].. We were soaked, drunk/stoned any having a blast in the rain!! I remember partying in the parking lot for hours beforehand.. Metallica came on at about dusk in a light rain mist and played into the night.. Guns was on not that long after Metallica, and put on a GREAT show.. They were usually late though back then. I don't remember too much from that point, but I remember GnR stole the show.. Good times man.. good times! If I remember right Metallica and Guns would switch as the headliner every other concert.. or something like that.. This was the tour where people got crushed and died at one of the shows. I think it was in Canada?? Not sure..

If anyone was there, I live in Irwin PA, it's 20 miles east of Pittsburgh.. .

**I am looking for ANY KIND of video or audio from this SHOW!! It's hard to find these older concert's because we didn't have cell phones... Heh
