METALLICA In Des Moines: Review, Photos Available

October 27, 2008

METALLICA played its first show in Des Moines, Iowa in 12 years last night (Sunday, October 26) in front of more than 9,800 fans at the Wells Fargo Arena. According to DesMoinesRegister.com, "the set drew largely from the classic, pre-'Load' era of the band, with songs from this year's 'Death Magnetic' as the big exception. METALLICA kicked off the show with two songs from that most recent album, 'This Was Just Your Life' and 'The End of the Line'. Fans of catalog albums '... And Justice For All', 'Ride the Lightning', 'Master of Puppets' and 'Metallica' ('The Black Album') got to hear plenty of the band's classic hits. 'Load' and 'St. Anger' were completely absent from the set, with 1997's 'ReLoad' relegated to just one song, 'The Memory Remains'."

The group's setlist was as follows:

01. That Was Just Your Life
02. The End Of The Line
03. Creeping Death
04. The Memory Remains
05. One
06. Broken, Beat And Scarred
07. Cyanide
08. Sad But True
09. Wherever I May Roam
10. For Whom The Bell Tolls
11. The Day That Never Comes
12. Master Of Puppets
13. Battery
14. Nothing Else Matters
15. Enter Sandman
