Metallica @ Foxboro Stadium, Aug 2 2024

 

30 years later Metallica still kicks ass! 


Here's my ticket stub from seeing Metallica in 1994 at Great Woods.

The "new" Pantera really sounded amazing.  Here's a short clip:


This guy in front of me thought otherwise though:


Not all hope was lost though.  Here's my homie - cheering and headbanging with us from afar:

LOTS of people sat down through the whole show, including the amazing opener of Creeping Death, Harvester of Sorrow & Leper Messiah.

My compatriots for the evening:


But what about the actual show?!

I thought the setlist was great. They played Orion. Wow. And ended with Master of Puppets. 🔥🔥🔥

Their playing was good, maybe great at times. I do think Lars was Lars in that he didn't always play the exact parts on the record and there might have been times where he was a bit sloppy in his timing. The band stayed together (I think) although maybe after listening to the live recording I'll have a different opinion.



Bonus selfie with Jeff Wizard at the end of the night!
