Earlier this month, Metallica played two “S&M²” shows with the San Francisco Symphony. In addition to revisiting the concept and collaboration behind the groundbreaking 1999 live album, S&M, and celebrating its 20th anniversary, the concerts also commemorated the grand opening of Chase Center, the new home of the Golden State Warriors. The two performances this weekend were conducted by Edwin Outwater with a special appearance by Michael Tilson Thomas. A special concert film of the shows is set to arrive in theaters worldwide on October 9th for a one-night screening event.
In the meantime, the thrash OGs are still out on the road on their massive WorldWired Tour, which will drip down to Australia and New Zealand shortly, where the band will play a string of highly anticipated shows with none other than Slipknot. To hype up that run, Metallica have dropped new pro-shot video footage of their rip-roaring performance of “Ride the Lightning” at Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys in Barcelona, Spain, on May 5th. Watch below, and check out the full set list, as reported by setlist.fm.
