METALLICA: Official Video Recap, Fan-Filmed Footage Of East Rutherford, New Jersey Concert

May 15, 2017

METALLICA has uploaded a five-minute video recap of the band's May 14 concert at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey as part of the North American leg of the "WorldWired" tour. Also available is fan-filmed video footage of the show (courtesy of John Erigo).

METALLICA's setlist was as follows:

01. Hardwired
02. Atlas, Rise!
03. For Whom The Bell Tolls
04. Fuel
05. The Unforgiven
06. Now That We're Dead
07. Moth Into Flame
08. Wherever I May Roam
09. Halo On Fire
10. Whiplash
11. Sad But True
12. One
13. Master Of Puppets
14. Fade To Black
15. Seek & Destroy

Encore:

16. Fight Fire With Fire
17. Nothing Else Matters
18. Enter Sandman

METALLICA was joined in East Rutherford, as they will be on most of the rest of the trek, by VOLBEAT and AVENGED SEVENFOLD.

The North American run will hit stadiums in 22 more cities before ending in mid-August. METALLICA drummer Lars Ulrich told Rolling Stone that the band was genuinely surprised to learn they could still play stadiums, saying, "It was like, 'Holy fuck, people really still care about this band in ways that you stopped taking for granted literally decades ago. It was very inspiring and kind of eye-opening."

He added: "Full stadium runs can sometimes be a little intimidating. There's all these things to worry about like, 'You should really try to play maybe only on the weekend,' and, 'Where do you play on Tuesday?' and some of those practicalities can get a little bewildering. We just threw caution to the wind. Doing a stadium run seemed like the perfect thing on the back of how well this record has been received and all the good will that's out there in METALLICA's world right now."

The next stop on the tour is The New Coliseum Presented By NYCB in Uniondale, New York on Wednesday (May 17).
