I went to that show in Houston(Baytown)& they had Candlebox replace AIC. It was Metallica, Candlebox, Suicidal Tendancies, & Fight(Rob Halford's band after leaving Priest). It was insane & everyone wishes AIC would have been there. I never got the see them with Layne.
At the motor speedway! I was there too! I really got into Fight after that. Both albums were great, but the 1st one is a classic.

Metallica opened with Breadfan and that was the most scared I've ever been at a concert. To this day, I'm still surprised people didn't die. The crush of the crowd was terrifying. I looked up, and they were already midway through the 2nd song (Puppets) and everyone was in a daze and like 200 feet from where they had started.

Yes. That Baytown show was one of the best Metallica shows I have seen. The Breadfan opener was great & unexpected(we didn't have the internet then to tell us prior setlists) & they played Disposable Heroes which they rarely ever played. Having Candlebox in place of AIC was tough to hear when they announced it about a week before the tour began. It was so HOT & humid out there that day too but what do you expect for the Houston area in the summer.

Fight was amazing. Their guitar player for that album & tour was Russell Parrish. You now know him as "Satchel" in Steel Panther.
