The tune was the opening track on the group’s 1986 major label debut, which became thrash metal's first platinum album on its way to US sales of more than 6 million copies.
The project was the last full studio record featuring bassist Cliff Burton, who tragically died when the band’s bus rolled over in Sweden while they were on a European tour.
The Las Vegas appearance was Metallica’s first live show of 2022; they’ll next be seen launching a series of rescheduled South American dates in April, before returning to the US for two festivals – Bottlerock in Napa Valley, CA and Boston Calling – in late May.
The group recently announced a pair of US stadium shows in Buffalo, NY and Pittsburgh, PA that are set to take place in August.
