To Adennos, tavoomalkutaja, and KPNLFC, pardon my ignorance here, but I don't know how to "upload."

[blessedhellride1]

it sucks that these few clips are the only that's ever been released of that show, i bet Mtv has it tucked away in their archives somewhere..

[choppersgun]

I love the day on the green with metallica, wish there were more videos of it

[AngelofAnguish]

I remember this! This was a special on MTV. It was called MTV's Heavy Metal Mania from Oakland California. The bands performing were Ratt, Y & T, Metallica, Yngwie Malmsteen's Rising Force, Victory, and the Scorpians. In between (metal) videos, MTV would show brief footage of each performer on stage. THANK GOD I had a VCR back then to tape THIS rare concert! Still have it (on VHS) today!

[choppersgun]

@AngelofAnguish Metallicas god to me but i didn't know Malmsteen was there too, he's shits awsome too!

[AngelofAnguish]

@choppersgun I agree! In my opinion, Yngwie IS ONE-OF-A-KIND! I've been a fan of Yngwie ever since I saw the video for his song "I'll See The Light, Tonight" off his Marching Out album.

[tavoomalkutaja]

@AngelofAnguish man, please!!! upload it!!!

[KPNLFC]

@AngelofAnguish MAN UPLOAD IT !

[Adennos]

[Headthorn]

[EnjoyTheSilencePL]

[studio32]

[MrRedman]

These Day on the Green '85 clips are sooo rare.

Thank you!

[theoffspringrox77]

this sounds so badass, james voice is right on with the studio version

[maxrebo26]

is there full video of every song from the day on the green show?

[husky940]

i think there is on the cliff em all dvd

[penfifteen666]

The Whole show was pro shot....someone has it....

i witnessed it live the pic on the back of Puppets is from this gig

[maxrebo26]

I wish the person with it would get it out there somehow. If they could re-master it that would be fuckin' A.

[penfifteen666]

I bet the Guys have it....they threw 'Bells' on Cliff Em All. they should pay for the rights to it and release it as a free download.....

Lars?

[maxrebo26]

Your right dude, i would get it in a heartbeat.

[Markism1]

@penfifteen666 Lars was asked by a fan about it on the St Anger tour and he said he has not seen the footage of the whole concert.

[penfifteen666]

@Markism1 Either MTV or BGP has it....they wouldnt shoot snippets....and the whole song of Bells. Metallica owned that day...I was bummed that the scorps came out and did the World Wide Live record verbatim.

[IsTHISnamefine]

Yeah, but it can't be had. MTV owns the rights and its not for trade. I don't know if the rights to the video are obtainable, though.

[maxrebo26]

It really blows. i think MTV should allow someone to compile some of the videos and sell them. its not like they are going to be doing anything with them anyway.

[IsTHISnamefine]

You'd think if Metallica had it they'd release it.

[maxrebo26]

i would hope so. i really dont think they have reason not to, unless as you said, MTV has the rights or somethin'
