The show also marked Kirk Hammett’s 54th birthday, which explains why – spoiler alert – the guitarist finds himself plastered with birthday cake during final song ‘Seek And Destroy.’
Metallica have worked hard to entertain fans during the COVID-19 lockdown. They launched a new online concert series, ‘Metallica Mondays’, on 23 March, where the band began streaming the complete video of one of their live shows for fans on the group’s YouTube channel and on Facebook every week.
The heavy metal giants announced the series in a social media post, writing: “While we’re all doing our part and staying home, we find ourselves missing live music, so how about we dive back into a few of our favourite shows at a socially responsible distance? Not to sound too cheesy, but now more than ever, we’re in this together, and staying connected is how we’ll get through it. With that in mind, we’re bringing a series of Live Metallica shows right to your couch!”
