Metallica

In September 1986, Metallica was riding high on the success of their critically acclaimed album *Master of Puppets*, released just months earlier in March of that year. This period marked a significant milestone in their career; they were transforming from a heavy metal band into a cultural phenomenon. The live show in Lund, Sweden, took place while they were actively touring to promote *Master of Puppets*, where they were captivating audiences with their dynamic performances. Fun fact: this set includes some of their most iconic tracks, like "Battery" and "Welcome Home (Sanitarium)," showcasing their mastery of blending intricate instrumentation with raw energy. This was also a time of somber reflection for the band, as they had just lost their bassist Cliff Burton in a tragic accident shortly before the tour. The loss profoundly affected their music and the emotional weight of their performances, adding layers of depth to their already powerful sound.
