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.

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!
