Metallica

In 1987, Metallica was riding high on the success of their landmark album *Master of Puppets*, which had been released just a year prior. This album not only reshaped the thrash metal landscape but also marked a pivotal moment in the band's journey, establishing them as key players in the heavy metal scene. The live recording from Gothenburg on February 13, during the Damage, Inc. tour, captures this electrifying energy as they performed at Frölundaborg alongside King Diamond. The show featured powerful hits like "Battery" and "Master of Puppets," embodying the raw intensity that fans craved. It’s fascinating to note that this was one of the last tours to feature bassist Cliff Burton, who tragically passed away later that year. This recording not only showcases their musical prowess but also serves as an emotional reminder of a transformative period for the band, making it a significant chapter in Metallica’s storied history.
