After Rancid I decided to stay in my spot since I was in an ideal taping location rather than seeing another band play and I'm glad I did. It got SUPER crowded, definitely the most crowded out of all of the sets that weekend. I had a pretty ideal taping location since I was inline with the speaker, didn't have any talkers around me, and somehow managed to find a patch of ground that was slightly elevated compared to the ground around me. A win all around!

Metallica came on a bit late but they came out hard. They sounded incredible - their sound setup is second to none and it shows in this recording. I was blown away by how good the mix was. The guitar tone was so thick it feels like cut through the air. I understand now why the Boss Metalzone pedal sells so well. I wish I was able to capture that with my recording but it falls short of what I remember hearing. For Aftershock Festival Metallica played two nights, the first being a mix of hits and the second the Black album back to front + some other bangers. Both nights sounded equally good in my opinion and it was a treat to hear so many songs with no overlap.

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