Tallinna ja Metallica

Back from Tallinn, Estonia. Early this morning we were back home.

On Tuesday evening Metallica performed a great concert in Laululava, Tallinn. One gig on their Escape from the Studio 06 tour. There were some 80 000 people, weather was fine and the band superb. I've never been a great fan of Metallica, but the concert was very impressive. The musicians are not virtuosos - well, then on the other hand Hammett just might be. But the band as a whole and what they offer is of the finest order. Great charisma - Hetfield looks and performs like a Statesman , sort of. Trujillo - a strong and a bit (?) cruel looking bass player. Lots of strength in the bottom. I like the way he plays his instrument - it looks and sounds good. And what delighted me much was that the Dane of the band - Lars Ulrich played quite well. He didn't miss many hits... As a whole very good and positive experience. Unfortunately photographing was not allowed . So no photos. Isn't this a bit ridiculous - some modern day mobile phones have so good cameras that with them it's very easy to take internet quality pics.
