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,

Metallica and the WorldWired Tour at Milwaukee's FiServ Forum on October 16, 2018

September 17, 2018

On September 2, 2018 I had the pleasure of seeing and photographing the opening of the Metallica, "WorldWired", U.S. tour in Madison, Wisconsin.

Since 1971 I have seen many shows but none like this one.   It was amazing!

The design and production of the show was done by Dan Braun, a Milwaukee native.

Dan created the show with kinetic cubes suspended above us that changed colors, graphics, positions and more!  It was like a huge beautiful ever changing chandelier like I've never seen before!

At one point in the show four cubes came out of the stage and all four guys were playing them with drumsticks!! These cubes also changed graphics and colors before they disappeared back into the white stage.

Check out a few photos and go see the guys. It's an incredible show.

Great, great job Dan! You are a wizard!

Thanks,

Rich Zimmermann
