The band delivered the track from their storage facility against a backdrop of speaker cabinets from different tours and special Metallica performances from their career.
“Thanks for having us, Stephen!,” shared the group on social media alongside the hashtag trio: #TooHeavyForHalftime #LSSC #LateShow.
“Enter Sandman” was the lead single from the group’s self-titled fifth record; commonly referred to as The Black Album for its cover art, the band’s commercial breakthrough was the first of six straight studio chart-topper in the US, where it has sold 16 million copies.
Metallica’s latest live album, “S&M2”, debuted in the US Top 5 upon its release last year; the project presents material from the group’s two fall 2019 shows with the San Francisco Symphony as the pair officially opened the new Chase Center.
