Metallica gave their hometown fans in San Francisco a special treat with two shows with setlist one played in chronological order from the first album to most recent and second show, a completely different setlist with the albums compiled from now until then.
1997’s ‘Reload’ track ‘Fixxer’ was played for the very first time while the songs ‘The End of the Line’, ‘Am I Evil’, ‘Dirty Window’ and ‘Wasting My Hate’ were played for the first time in a decade.
20,000 fans a night watched the shows from Chase Center, San Francisco while the second show was streamed live for Amazon Prime.
These were the first shows ever for Metallica to play songs from all 10 studio albums in order of the album release.
