This may have been the loudest and one of the coolest shows I have ever seen and photographed! The bass sounds may have shaken the sensors in my cameras when photographing!! It shook my body for sure, especially being a couple feet away from some speakers. This was one of those MUST wear ear protection shows.

Dan Braun, a friend that does staging and production for Metallica and others, produced this show and I could tell it was his unique style and excellent work!

Lighting, stageing and even fire were in this show! Pyro production has gotten to an amazing level and you will see a few images here. I could feel the heat from 100 feet away and the band had to really feel it as they of course are much closer.

Check out a whole lot of photos of both bands and enjoy.

Thanks,

Hope everyone has been staying warm with our cold winter weather!   Do you think Mother Nature may be angry with us?

I covered the opening of the U.S. WorldWired tour of Metallica that was in Madison, Wisconsin last September in a previous blog.

Recently, I realized that I forgot to show you the Milwaukee tour stop of Metallica on October 16, 2018 at the FiServ Forum.  I've been too busy with this thing called life I guess.

Here are a few of the photos of that amazing Metallica show.  The stage and production design by our Milwaukee friend, Dan Braun, is just incredible!!

Check out the boys and this tour if possible to see in action the kinetic cubes above the stage. Four of the cubes rise from within the round stage and become drum kits for all four guys to play.

Stay warm!

Thanks,

Rich Zimmermann
