Update thread: I spoke today with Jonathan who is VP of Operations at Albertson's, the parent company. After some apologies and pleasantries we jumped in. He defined the problem as being about getting Safeway's discounts (not manufacturers' coupons, which they can't control) 1/

In 1991, Metallica performed a historic concert in Moscow, held on a military airfield just months before the fall of the Soviet Union. This monumental event was part of the 'Monsters of Rock' festival, where renowned bands like AC/DC and Pantera also shared the stage. What made this concert truly exceptional was the staggering attendance of over 1.6 million people, setting a record at the time. The event was promoted as a symbol of democracy and freedom.

During this period, Metallica was enjoying immense success with their acclaimed "Black Album." One of their standout hits, "Enter Sandman," was performed on that memorable day in 1991. (You can find the electrifying video on YouTube).

Years later, Metallica's lead singer, James Hetfield, reflected on the Moscow show, saying, "Actually, I would have to say the Russian show when we showed up in '91 after the coup, where the country had opened up and was no longer communist. Doing that open airfield, we played with four other bands, and basically, for the first time, it was a free concert out in an airfield, and they estimated a million, or half a million; nobody knew, really. But just being able to play in a place that was fresh and hadn't heard anything like that before, and watching people transform as the music moved them. There were plenty of military personnel who just started taking off their uniforms and rocking out. It was a liberating experience and truly amazing to witness."

In terms of attendance, only two other concerts have surpassed this milestone. Rod Stewart's concert in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, in 1994 drew approximately 3.4 million people, while Jean-Michel Jarre's concert in 1997 in Moscow attracted 3.5 million fans.

I keep seeing articles about a woman suing Disney after getting a “wedgie” on a water slide.

To be clear: the woman was injured so badly that her intestines protruded through her abdominal wall & blood gushed out of her.

Disney is trying to downplay her VERY SERIOUS injuries.
