re: Metallica tonight at the BJCC

I drove from Athens, GA to Little Rock for Sunday’s show. I waited 10 years to have the opportunity to see them live.

Great performance. I’m not sure if it’s a top-5 all-timer for me, but they still kick arse. Setlist was a little too geared towards the new record (not nearly as bad as Iron Maiden’s 2017 tour though). Any hopes of hearing some unexpected tracks from the ‘80s should be abandoned immediately.

Being on the floor made it a pretty special experience, and I’ll say that their lighting setup was stellar.
