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.

Do you remember Hetfield did a Butthead impression from offstage...and then just screamed "BREADFANNNNN"? Truly berserk.

I'm not sure I ever knew AIC had been slated originally. That is a crushing blow, in retrospect, as I never got to see them. However, I really loved Candlebox. I had seen them open for Rush about 6 months before and was in to them.

I'm not sure I knew that. We used to be entertained by JJ the bassist. Saw them at Tipitina's in 1995 and he was playing in the crowd - walking around Trujillo-esque. In fact, Fight thread incoming...

But we did have other human beings who went to those shows and told others about it via other forms of communication.

There was a very active tape trading circuit that existed at the time as well, so it wasn't a huge shock 2 months into the tour (I was at the same show).
