I couldn't decide on what version of 'tallica's "Harvester of Sorrow" should i share today. The options were completely different, way apart one from each other not only by the 17 years between the two performances, but also by the change of course the band took in this period.
Not small was my surprise to discover that both versions, even though separated by so many things, emphasis that special artists are like wine: the older - the better; even tough it takes time to come to maturity, involving a agitated long process.

First version: performed at "Monsters of Rock" festival, in Russia, in 1991. This song includes all frustrations and desires of a closed society, trying to "make eyes". Ulrich hiding behind those butt-sized drums and Newsted banging his had virtuously. Metallica at their best.

Second version: "Rock am Ring", 2008. Perfected guitar riffs and solos, good vocals and back up vocals (without Newsted) and a lot of energy. Almost without mistake.

Combined, this two versions express dynamics, evolution, an unexpected joy of singing, a lot of energy invested (not consumed) and a little bit of history. Being in the crowd listening to the first very hard riffs it gives you thrills of pleasure and an unforgettable sentiment of relaxation and satisfaction.
