(hennemusic) Metallica performed their 1997 classic, "The Memory Remains", during an August 6 show in New Jersey, and the band is sharing pro-shot video from the event.

The show was the first time in 19 years that the song was performed in East Rutherford; it was last played there on October 22, 2004 at Continental Airlines Arena.

The sixth weekend as part of the M72 World Tour - and second of two concerts at the city's MetLife Stadium - delivered the second appearance of the lead single from "Reload" during the 2023 trek in support of the group's latest album, "72 Seasons."

Metallica launched the two-year M72 series 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.

Metallica will perform two shows at Sofi Stadium in Los Angeles, CA this weekend; the August 25 gig will feature openers Pantera and Mammoth WVH, with Five Finger Death Punch and Ice Nine Kills on board for the August 27 date.
