Metallica - 1st U.K. Live Gig 1984 ak320
Metallica's first official tour was Kill 'Em All for One, which started in 1983 to promote their debut album. Their longest so far have been the Wherever We May Roam and World Magnetic Tours, which lasted 14 months and 20 months, respectively, with each having over 170 concerts. The band is among the most lucrative live bands, selling out half of their first 187 concerts held during the 2000s, and gaining an attendance of over 3.5 million people and a gross of over US$227 million.
Sounds like they are hurting bad for cash huh?
Yeah right. Anyway The first U.K. Gig and they seem to have been lucky to get it cause they had for one reason or another cancelled a lot of dates before and after it...
