Metallica concert review
Winnebago County Fairgrounds in Rockford, US
Sun, 05 Jul 1998

This was not the best performance from Metallica, but there were a couple of very interesting things about this one that made it special. It was at the height of Metallica's popularity. There were a couple hundred thousand people there, basically general admission with 21+ on one side and -21 on the other. The party out in the parking lot was just as much fun as the concert. Metallica played an acoustic set starting around the half way point of the show. Maybe not the best idea for a crowd that large, but it was still fun. The lines were brutal, and it took several hours to get out of the parking lot, but everyone you knew was there.
