Metallica

In June 2000, when Metallica performed "One" live at Memorial Stadium in Seattle, the band was riding high on the success of their album "Reload," released in late 1997. This album followed the massively popular "Load" and marked a period of significant evolution in Metallica's sound, embracing more hard rock elements while still rooted in their heavy metal roots. The concert in Seattle showcased some of their most iconic tracks, with “One” being a standout, the song reflecting their lyrical depth and musical complexity. Fun fact: this performance happened during a tour that was noted for its high-energy atmosphere, and Metallica was known for their electrifying live shows, which often left fans breathless. Plus, by this time, the band was solidifying its status as a heavy metal titan, engaging a new generation while still paying homage to their legacy.
