The track was the lead single from the group’s second album, “Ride The Lightning”, which they recorded in Copenhagen with producer Flemming Rasmussen; the project included instant classics and fan favorites like “For Whom The Bell Tolls” and “Fade To Black.”
Metallica launched the two-year M72 series in support of “72 Seasons” in Amsterdam, NL on April 27; the run sees the band playing two nights in every city it visits – with each "No Repeat Weekend" featuring two completely different set lists and support lineups.
The August 18 date – which featured opening sets by Pantera and Mammoth WVH – also saw Metallica deliver the debut Texas performance of its 1986 “Master Of Puppets” instrumental, “Orion.”
