Metallica - Paris Concert featuring Memory Jam, So What, Creeping Death and more Full Concert

Venue: Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy Location: Paris, Île-de-France, France Date: September 16, 1996

In September 1996, when Metallica rocked the Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy, they were in the thick of their "Poor Touring Me" tour. This era followed the release of their self-titled album, commonly known as "The Black Album," which had hit the shelves just a few years earlier in 1991. The Black Album propelled them into superstardom with hits like "Enter Sandman" and "The Unforgiven," marking a shift toward a more accessible sound that captured a wider audience. As they performed in Paris, fans were treated not only to a setlist packed with favorites but also to the raw energy that Metallica is famous for. Interestingly, this concert reflected a transition point for the band, as they were experimenting with their creative identity while also navigating their newfound fame. The live recording captures a moment when they were absolutely at their peak, blending thrash metal intensity with stadium-sized melodies to enthrall their audience. It’s electric to think about how such a defining moment is forever encapsulated in this performance!
