Night 2 of seeing Metallica at the Aftershock Festival! After seeing them the first time two nights prior I was unbelievably stoked to see them again. Throughout the entire weekend you could hear folks talking about looking forward to seeing them perform the Black Album in its entirety. I had a copy of that album as a teenager so seeing them perform the whole thing was a little unreal. I ran over to the stage after seeing most of Rise Against's set and had to squeeze in to my desired taping spot. I was able to get right in front of the soundboard a few feet from the rail. Before Metallica came on Black Veil Brides set up shop behind us on the other side of the rail and the drummer ended up enthusiastically talking to a young kid who also played drums for awhile and I thought that was awesome of him. I gave him a first bump - they had an awesome set but I did not tape them.

Metallica played The Ecstasy of Gold before coming out again and went straight into Hardwired which hit... hard. After three songs they played a video that covered a bit of the recording process behind the album and the world's reaction to it which was pretty cool. Definitely worth watching on YouTube. After that they played the entire Black Album backwards which was really cool because the hits were all near the end. It was like a gradual buildup to Enter Sandman which had the whole crowd jumping. Hearing Fight Fire With Fire and Creeping Death was unreal too, those were two great songs to close out the weekend.

In terms of the recording I think it came out pretty good given my location but my recording of Night 1 sounds a little bit better IMO. The recorder ran a bit hot for this one and you can definitely see that the levels are a bit high but they still fall within acceptable ranges. I did have a singer near me that you can occasionally hear but nothing too major. I was able to grab the setlist after the show and I included a picture of it in the directory.

Share freely, be kind to each other, and get the damn shot so we can all see live music again!

I run a Rage Against the Machine live archive at http://ratm.live . Please get in touch if you have any recordings of Rage!
