Metallica

Ah, Metallica! In December 1986, when they rocked Quebec City at the Pavillon de la Jeunesse—talk about an electrifying night! This performance was part of their "Damage, Inc. Tour," just after they had dropped the monumental album, "Master of Puppets." Released earlier that year, "Master of Puppets" marked a pivotal moment in Metallica’s rise, solidifying their status as thrash metal titans. Notably, this album was the last to feature bassist Cliff Burton, who tragically died in a bus accident shortly thereafter. So, playing those iconic tracks like "Master of Puppets" and "Battery" during this live show wasn’t just about the music—it was heavy with emotion and loss. It showcased not only their technical prowess but also how the band was navigating through grief while still delivering an unforgettable experience for fans, marking a transformative period in their journey. Can you imagine the energy in that crowd?
