Metallica

Back in June 2008, Metallica was riding high on the success of their highly acclaimed album *Death Magnetic*, which had dropped just months earlier in September 2008. This recording at Rock In Rio Lisboa captures them during their “Spring/Summer Vacation Tour 2008,” showcasing their typical raw energy and commitment to their fans. An interesting tidbit? This performance came at a time when they were revitalizing their sound, stepping away from the relatively lukewarm reception of their *St. Anger* album. You can practically feel the thrill in the air as they busted out classics like “Creeping Death” and “Fuel,” songs that propelled their status in the metal world. The excitement of playing at such a prestigious festival like Rock In Rio, particularly in a vibrant city like Lisbon, undoubtedly added an extra spark to their already electrifying performance.
