Hey all, I am going to see Metallica live in concert tonight and besides being totally stoked, i am curious as to whether or not anyone else out there has seen them lately live and what you thought of the performance... I will certainly let you know what i think when i get back from it... I've seen them twice before ('97 and '99) and interested to see if they still have the old fire for the live performances...

if its anything like the edmonton show my friend went to you are going to have a wicked time

i saw them live last august then december and both times amazing and flawless....sets very good not much st anger and no load/reload...rob fits very well into the band and seems at home, natural entertainer, cant wait for june to come and seeing them and slayer on the same bill

I saw them a couple weeks ago in Vegas. It was an incredible show. There should have been more pyrotechnics though. But I'm not totally into them and I was f'in impressed. We were right in front on the floor. They played a great variety of songs, although I know none from St. Anger. Also, Godsmack put on a really good opening show. You'll have an awesome time. I haven't ever seen them perform live before so I can't say if this show is as great or better then their others, but it was most definately NOT disappointing.

Sweet, have fun. I'm going to see them in September in Cleveland. I'm pumped for it.

I'm debating wheter to see them at Nassau Collesium. Its supposed to be a really good show and I like them, but its on the expensive side and I'm already going to so many concerts the next few months I dont know if I can afford it

I saw them last August for the Summer Sanitarium tour. I'm still waiting for a ticket sale date for the next time they come in Mtl!

They're coming to Little Rock with Godsmack in May. It should be a good show!

well i back from the show, and definitely a little more deaf... four words... THAT KICKED FUCKIN' ASS!!!!!!!! that is the third time i've seen them and i dunno if the passage of time has dulled my impressions from the previous two times or what, but they just seem to have gotten better since i last saw them live... that was an amazing show, the setlist was diverse and awesome, and i have nothing but positive things to say about that show!! Awesome, awesome, awesome!!! they're my favorite band for a reason folks, and that's it right there...

also, to give props to Godsmack, wow, they are the best opening act i've ever seen for a show... they had the crowd goin' hard, and they were just excellent... they put on this head to head drum thing with the lead singer and the actual drummer and i've never seen that go wrong before, and it didn't tonight either... they played off on each other beautifully...

all in all, out of five stars, i give this night, ten!!!

I saw them at Reading last year - I was a bit disappointed. Although they didn't play a lot from St Anger (thankfully), the set just seemed to be too long for them, they went off stage a lot. I guess it's different for a real gig, and not just at a festival.

With there new recent Metallica website, can you download the set from that show? Or am I just way off-base?

I'm aware they recently opened up a website where you can download their performances, but I wonder if they put up every show or just select shows.
