This was a great gig. My longtime concert buddy Joe Burns flew out from Philadelphia to help us bay area filmers capture some gigs. We did mixes of Pearl Jam and Rolling Stones in Oakland few days before and Pantera’s 2 gigs at San Jose and Sacramento. Here is the Memorial Auditorium gig.
Go figure. I punch in Sacramento in the search area on my youtube channel and a Metallica show is the first thing to pop up. Really enjoyed the experience of filming these rare flatbed truck gigs.
What a cool day this was. Metallica planned to perform LIVE 3 shows in one day to promote the upcoming release of the LOAD record in 3 different tower records parking lots…3pm San Jose, 6pm Concord, 9pm Sacramento. Since I lived in Concord that one excited me the most. But since the city of Concord would not issue the permits the band were only able to pull off San Jose and Sacramento which were both filmed. MFTMON was next to me shooting as well.

RIP Scott Weiland. Too bad the drugs were stronger than you, as you had talent my man. This was my 2nd time seeing/filming the Pilots. Light show was cool, though the strobes fucked with my focus throughout the gig. Apologies for that, but the feeling of the show is captured beautifully from start to finish. Scott was a dancing madman. Enjoy!
