Metallica

On June 4, 2004, Metallica took the stage at Parque da Bela Vista in Lisbon, Portugal, delivering an electrifying performance that captured the band at a pivotal moment in their career. At this time, they had recently released their album "St. Anger," which came out in 2003 and marked a significant shift in their sound. "St. Anger" was notable for its raw production and a departure from their traditional polished heaviness, diving into themes of personal struggle and redemption. This live recording highlights the band's ability to connect with their fans, showcasing not just their iconic hits, but also the new material from "St. Anger." Interestingly, this period was also characterized by the band's ongoing battle with internal conflicts and addiction issues, making their powerful presence on stage all the more poignant. The energy of that night resonated deeply, as they collectively channeled their struggles into a raucous celebration of heavy metal camaraderie.
