It was following the monumental success of Metallica’s Black album and nearly 3 year long tour that the band took some time off. They would reassemble by the middle part of the decade and began working on their long anticipated follow up. The band would end up having so much material, they would release two albums in two years - 1996’s Load and 1997’s Reload. The record would be divisive given the band’s choice to go in a much more commercial direction, than even the black album. It was during the promotion cycle for Reload the band wanted to play free concerts across America for their fans.. The rockers had been impressed by at the response to country star Garth Brooks' free summer concert in New York's Central Park and wanted to do something similar. But local governments in cities across America told the band to stay away. . In September of 97, two months before Re-Load’s release the band revealed in the press that they were having issues securing venues to play free shows. . Drummer lars ulrich would would say at the time We've been turned down by some of the finest municipalities in the country in our requests to play public parks, stadiums, abandoned Air Force and Naval bases, airports and parking lots," The band changed their plans just wanting to play one free concert, which would be broadcast by dozens of radio stations across the States. As for the location of the one free show, but they turned it over to their fans. Metallica setup an 800 number and email address for fans to send in suggestions for a suitable concert site. The band was inundated with 120,000 fans calling in on the 800 number. Lars would add "Thousands of heads are better than four. We want this to happen, and we're hoping that somebody out there can cut through all the bureaucracy and find a place for us to have a little fun with a few thousand of our closest friends." Philadelphia would ultimately be chosen as the location of the free show. According to the band’s manager, Cliff Bernstein, Metallica sold an astounding 250,000 copies of the black album, just in Philadelphia alone. There was also another reason Philly got chosen. The biggest rock station in the city WYSP made a concerted effort to get people to call in and email the band demanding Philly get the free concert. The station also did some legwork trying to find a suitable location talking to Metallica’s label Elektra to see what the band required for the free show in addition to contacting city officials and local promoter Electric Factory concerts, while also listening to fans about a possible suitable location. I do want to point out that. the operations manager for WYUSP maybe familiar to a few of you - Tim Sabean who used to work on the howard stern show was instrumental in bringing metallica to philly. But WYSP wasn’t alone as other radio stations like WRCX in Chicago, and a few stations in other markets tried to bring metallica to their city, but they ran into permit issues. Metallica would announce in early November that they would be playing a free 90 minute afternoon show on Veterans Day in 1997, a week before Re-Load was scheduled to come out. The location of the free concert would be the CoreStates Complex, which is located in south philadelphia and is surrounded by Veterans Stadium and the Spectrum Arena, which played home to all of the citie’s professional sports team. The night before the planned metallica show, a newly reunited Jane’s Addiction played the Spectrum and the Philadelphia Eagles played Veterans stadium. CoreStates was all on board with the metallica show. Because of the time constraints and the difficulties securing the site in the first place, Metallica was not planning on doing an elaborate stage production or light shows. But not everyone was on board with the concert location. The parking lot which according to reports could hold 60,000 cars and up to 100,000 people saw a lot of concerns by mostly older residents who lived in the surrounding neighbourhoods. Concerns about traffic, noise, security, sanitation, drugs and crime were expressed by concerned citizens.. On top of that, there was a planned Ph
