Last Saturday, on April 29, Metallica rocked the stage in Amsterdam, treating fans to a night filled with first-time events and long-awaited performances. The second show of their M72 World Tour at the Johan Cruijff Arena not only boasted a completely different setlist but also featured several new live debuts and songs that hadn’t been played for years.
One of the highlights of the night was the live debut of Metallica’s ‘You Must Burn!‘ from their latest album, ’72 Seasons.’ Fans were in for an extra treat as they got to hear bassist Robert Trujillo’s backing vocals for the first time in the song. Check out the electrifying performance in the video below!
Another first during the concert was the first playthrough of ‘72 Seasons‘ in front of a live audience, as the video footage from their show on April 27 didn’t show an audience in attendance. The Amsterdam show also marked the first full live rendition of ‘If Darkness Had A Son.‘ Don’t miss the thrilling performance by watching the following fan footage.
Metallica fans were in for a nostalgic treat when the band played ‘Until It Sleeps‘ for the first time since November 2008. The long-awaited performance certainly didn’t disappoint, as you can see in the video below. Moreover, this performance shows that fans have the opportunity to enjoy long-missed songs during Metallica’s No Repeat Weekend events.
Wrapping it up, the Amsterdam show had it all — from first-time live debuts to the return of long-lost favorites. With their ‘No Repeat Weekend’ promise, Metallica fans can surely expect more surprises in the upcoming shows, as the band may continue to dig deep into their catalog and bring back more hits that haven’t been heard live for quite some time. Stay tuned, and get ready to rock on!
