The lead single from “Metallica” delivered the California band’s commercial breakthrough as their first studio record to top the US charts; the project remains the top-selling album in the US since MRC Data began electronically tracking music sales in 1991, with 17.3 million copies sold.
The Pittsburgh gig was one of three recent US dates for the group, who headlinined Chicago’s Lollapalooza on July 28 and played in Buffalo, NY on August 11.
Metallica are scheduled to next appear at the Global Citizen Festival in New York City’s Central Park on September 24.
