      Lc

      pm,
      Metallica
      once
      again
      took
     
    

    
     
      center
      stage
      at
      the
      Moncton
      Coliseum.
     
     
      The
      concert,
      appropriately
      entitled
      “‘An
      Evening
     
     
      With
      Metallica’,
      began
      with
      a
      25
      minute
      movie
     
     
      introduced
      by
      the
      band
      from
      the
      dressing
      room.
     
     
      This
      movie
      spanned
      all
      the
      years
      of
      Metallica
     
     
      from
      its
      start
      to
      earlier
      Tuesday
      evening.
     
    

    
     
      I
      admit
      I
      wasn’t
      expecting
      to
      get
      quite
      as
     
     
      “*pumped”’
      as
      I
      did,
      but
      by
      the
      time
      the
      band
      hit
     
     
      the
      stage
      at
      8:45
      I
      was
      hyped.
      The
      first
      song
      was,
     
     
      ofcourse,’’Enter
      Sandman’’;
      from
      the
      moment
     
     
      they
      hit
      the
      stage
      it
      was
      obvious
      this
      is
      a
      band
     
     
      that
      PERFORMS
      for
      their
      fans.
      Metallica
      is
      a
     
     
      band
      that
      knows
      where
      its
      money
      comes
      from,
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Pop
      goes
     
    
   
   
    
     
      and
      knows
      how
      to
      keep
      it
      coming.
     
    

    
     
      The
      show
      was
      amazing!
      Metallica
      was
      on
     
     
      stage
      for
      3
      hours,
      give
      or
      take
      a
      few
      minutes.
     
     
      They
      played
      songs
      from
      all
      of
      their
      albums.
     
     
      There
      were
      relatively
      few
      special
      effects-even
     
     
      the
      lighting
      wasn’t
      much-
      except
      for
      selected
     
     
      songs.
      The
      pyrotechnics
      were
      kept
      well
      away
     
     
      from
      any
      band
      members
      (safety
      first?)
      and
      were
     
     
      few
      and
      far
      between.
      It
      was
      actually
      nice
      to
      see
     
     
      a
      band
      concentrate
      on
      its
      music
      as
      opposed
      to
     
     
      appearance.
     
    

    
     
      Metallica
      closed
      with
      its
      most
      popular
      songs
     
     
      such
      as’’Nothing
      Else
      Matters’’,
      ‘The
     
     
      Unforgiven’’,
      and
      as
      a
      finale
      ‘‘One’’.
      This
      final
     
     
      song
      had
      to
      be
      the
      most
      complicated
      one
      to
     
     
      stage
      as
      it
      made
      use
      of
      both
      pyrotechnics
      and
     
    
   
   
    
     
      the
      Sym
     
    
   
   
    
     
      lighting
      to
      give
      the
      illusion
      of
      battle.
      This
      sox
     
     
      was
      amazing
      live,
      not
      that
      all
      the
      others
      weren’
     
     
      and
      ended
      the
      show
      quite
      impressively.
     
     
      Throughout
      the
      concert,
      the
      audience,
      esp
     
     
      cially
      those
      of
      us
      on
      the
      floor,
      were
      pelted
      wit
     
     
      beer
      and
      told
      where
      to
      go
      and
      how
      to
      get
      the
     
     
      more
      times
      then
      most
      of
      us
      care
      to
      remembs
     
     
      There
      was
      only
      one
      incident
      ofa
      person
      getti
     
     
      on
      stage,
      and
      a
      few
      episodes
      of
      people
      tossij
     
     
      things
      at
      the
      band.
      Other
      than
      a
      few
      mini
     
     
      incidents,
      though,
      the
      audience
      was
      by
      fart
     
     
      tamest
      mob
      I’ve
      been
      a
      part
      of.
      Flying
      cloths
     
     
      and
      a
      couple
      of
      flying
      people
      were
      the
      worst
     
     
      what
      I
      saw,
      even
      on
      the
      floor.
      The
      concert
     
     
      amazing,
      the
      audience
      fairly
      well-behaved
      a
     
     
      a
      good
      time
      was
      had
      by
      all.

      ‘‘Pops

      pitching

      very

      performance
      bodes
      well
      for

      prosperity,

      The
      bulk
      of
      the
      afternoon
      performance
      con-
     
     
      sisted
      of
      selections
      from
      the
      musical
      composi-
     
     
      tions
      of
      John
      Williams,
      the
      popular
      composer-
     
     
      conductor
      renowned
      for
      his
      many
      successful
     
     
      film
      scores
      (the
      Star
      Wars
      trilogy,
      the
      Indiana
     
     
      Jones
      trilogy,
      Superman,
      and
      E.T.
      to
      name
      a
     
     
      few).
      The
      first
      selection
      was
      ‘Highlights
      from
     
     
      E.T.’’,
      a
      moving
      tribute
      to
      that
      bike-riding,
     
     
      candy-munching,
      wrinkly
      alien
      who
      captivated
     
     
      moviegoers’
      hearts
      with
      such
      memorable
      senti-
     
     
      ments
      as
      ‘‘ouch!’’
      and
      ‘‘Phone
      home’’.
      This
     
     
      was
      followed
      by
      the
      nerve-wracking
      **Suite
     
     
      from
      Jaws’’,
      a
      taut,
      intense
      piece
      that
      held
     
     
      listeners
      spellbound
      while
      the
      symphony
      en-
     
     
      gaged
      in
      some
      very
      tightly
      controlled
      playing,
     
     
      from
      the
      ominously
      throbbing
      strings
      to
      the
     
     
      impressively
      precise
      crash
      cymbals,
      creating
      a
     
     
      musical
      masterwork
      of
      nervous
      tension.
      The
     
     
      brass
      section
      later
      got
      a
      chance
      to
      strut
      its
      stuff
     
     
      in
      the
      majestic
      Olympic
      Fanfare
      and
      Theme,
     
    
   
   
    
     
      14
     
    
   
   
    
     
      and
      the
      show
      closed
      with
      musical
      selections
     
     
      from
      Superman,
      from
      the
      Lois
      Lane
      love
      theme
     
     
      to
      the
      joyfully
      boisterous
      main
      title
      theme.
      The
     
     
      Williams
      selections
      were
      all
      very
      exciting
      and
     
     
      energetic
      pieces
      ably
      brought
      to
      life
      by
      the
     
     
      symphony
      musicians.
      The
      brass
      section
      was
     
     
      solid
      (while
      the
      trumpets
      were
      perhaps
      occa-
     
     
      sionally
      a
      bit
      overzealous),
      the
      woodwinds
      did
     
     
      some
      fine
      work
      throughout,
      the
      strings
      were
     
     
      consistently
      powerful,
      and
      Dave
      Shepherd
      and
     
     
      the
      rest
      of
      the
      percussion
      section
      were
      a
      re-
     
     
      sourceful
      and
      precision-sharp
      quartet
      (with
      the
     
     
      exception
      of
      one
      near-mishap
      with
      a
      cymbal).
     
     
      All
      in
      all
      the
      symphony
      shone,
      led
      by
      concert
     
     
      master
      Jenet
      Clement
      and
      ably
      emceed
      by
      her
     
     
      better

      The
      performances
      by
      Pam
      Campbell
      were
     
     
      the
      icing
      on
      an
      already
      scrumptious
      musical
     
     
      cake.
      Campbell
      made
      one
      performance
      in
      each
     
     
      half
      of
      the
      show,
      and
      her
      numbers
      were
      a
     
     
      collection
      of
      (you
      guessed
      it)
      love
      songs
      in
     
     
      celebration
      of
      Valentine’s
      Day.
      The
      heartwarm-
     
     
      ing
      tunes
      ranged
      from
      musical
      theatre
      standbys
     
     
      such
      as
      ‘‘Till
      There
      Was
      You’’
      (from
      the
      Music
     
     
      Man)
      and
