It turned out that 1 person could not come, and the ticket was given to Lars who was not even 10 years. Amazed by the band's performance, Lars bought the Fireball album the next day. The concert and the album had a huge influence on Lars Ulrich , inspired him into the world of rock n 'roll and finally, heavy metal.
