August 5, 2015

Fly-on-the-wall footage of METALLICA's August 1 performance at the Lollapalooza festival in Chicago, Illinois can be seen below. The 19-minute clip, which was shot by a MetOnTour reporter, includes guitarist Kirk Hammett, bassist Robert Trujillo and drummer Lars Ulrich in the meet-and-greet, pre-show tuning-room footage, and "Wherever I May Roam" and "Am I Evil?" from the concert.

The band's setlist was as follows:

01. Fuel
02. For Whom The Bell Tolls
03. Wherever I May Roam
04. King Nothing
05. Disposable Heroes
06. Welcome Home (Sanitarium)
07. Cyanide
08. The Unforgiven
09. Sad But True
10. One
11. Master of Puppets
12. Creeping Death
13. Fade to Black
14. Seek and Destroy

Encore:

15. Whiskey In The Jar
16. Am I Evil?
17. Nothing Else Matters
18. Enter Sandman

As many as 300,000 people were expected to attend the three-day music event, which ran through Sunday.

METALLICA last appeared on the Lollapalooza bill back in 1996, when it was still a traveling festival. That year's lineup also featured SOUNDGARDEN and the RAMONES.

Lollapalooza was launched in 1991 as a farewell tour for JANE'S ADDICTION.

JANE'S ADDICTION singer Perry Farrell and the promoters turned it into a yearly traveling festival and showcase for a wide range of alternative music acts.

The tour's popularity declined later that decade, with the 1997 edition the last for several years.

Lollapalooza resurfaced one more time as a traveling festival in 2003 before morphing into a destination event and making Chicago its permanent home two years later.
