The July 16 performance, before more than 100,00 fans on the Plains Of Abraham, was the second of two Canadian dates that week – following Metallica’s gig in Halifax two days earlier.
Metallica Quebec show was part of the 44th annual Festival d'été de Québec, which ran July 7-17 and featured 300 shows spanning 11 days, making it Canada's biggest outdoor artistic event.
“We’ve been told about this festival for a long time,” singer James Hetfield told the crowd, “and to finally be here…there’s not many words to describe the feeling of seeing all these beautiful people who love and need music in their lives. It’s so beautiful to see, Quebec. We’re glad to be here.”
