Metallica

Catching Metallica in full swing during their "Damaged Justice Tour" really captures a pivotal moment in their journey. By November 30, 1988, when they performed at the Myriad Convention Center in Oklahoma City, they had just released "…And Justice for All," their critically acclaimed album from 1988. This record marked a significant leap in their sound, showcasing complex song structures and heavier themes. Interestingly, this was the band's first album released after the tragic death of bassist Cliff Burton, making it an emotionally charged time for them. Fans were hungry for new material, and the live performance in Oklahoma City delivered, featuring electrifying tracks like “Blackened” and “For Whom the Bell Tolls.” The synergy of Metallica's raw power with Queensrÿche supporting them only added to the night’s intensity. It was more than just a concert; it was a celebration of resilience in the face of loss, and that’s something every Metallica fan can feel on a deep level. What a moment!
