First I'd like to say to all metallica fans out there who didn't make it you missed out on a great gig and possibly the best set list that they will *ever* play.
If my memory serves they kicked off with something from ...And Justice for All I can't remember the name of, then they played The Unforgiven, Fuel, Where Ever I May Roam and a new song they didn't let us know the name of. I personally thought the new song was very good, fantastic riff and solo although I feel maybe it was a little too long.
After those songs the band left stage again, we thought they were changing the instruments yet again. But at that point the lights went off and a short slide show came on the viewscreens by the stage talking about Master Of Puppets. Then came the news ... they were going to play the album in it's entirety, back to back. :twisted: They even had videos to go wth songs like The Thing That Should Not Be had a video with a retilian monsters eye awakening and Welcome Home(Sanitarium) had a video of a guy getting crazier and crazier locked up in a cell.
Between two of the songs Kirk played an awesome solo spot even if a it was prefely interupted by a plane passing low overhead. When the band cam back for their encore they played Sad But True, Nothing Else Matters, One with full firework and explosion display and they finished proceedings with Seek & Destroy.
For me they could not hvae played a better set list than that. Their playing was so tight and they had they best sound of any band all day. Where as the guitars in other bands are normally drowned out by the drums but Metallica obviously had a sound engineer who paid attention so the guitars were exactly where they should be in the mix.
