METALLICA: Pro-Shot Footage Of 'Enter Sandman' Performance From San Diego

Professionally filmed video footage of METALLICA performing the song “Enter Sandman” on August 6 at Petco Park in San Diego, California can be seen below.

The North American leg of METALLICA‘s “WorldWired” trek will hit stadiums in three more cities before ending in mid-August. The next stop on the tour is San Francisco, California on August 12.
The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame band is touring in support of its tenth studio album, “Hardwired… To Self-Destruct”, which came out last November.
METALLICA‘s current show is the band’s largest production ever. Using 48 trucks, the stage takes three days to set up, equipped with lasers, balloons, more than 350,000 total watts of audio and a circular catwalk with a mini stage that the band plays “Seek And Destroy” on, aiming to recreate the garage atmosphere where it was written. According to Rolling Stone, the whole stage features 83 laser fixtures, which took 640 hours to program, and nearly 40,000 speakers for each production. Each night, they generate 2.5 megawatts of power — enough to power 1,800 homes for a month.
METALLICA frontman James Hetfield told the Nerdist podcast that the band would cap its live schedule starting in 2017 at around fifty shows a year. He explained: “My body has told me to tell these guys that fifty shows a year is kind of what we can do, so make the best of those. And I think we all kind of agree in that. But fifty shows a year, that’s pretty good. My body can handle that. Body, mind and spirit all need to kind of revitalize themselves at home, and days off for voices — things like that — so fifty shows a year, it goes pretty quick, I’m sure.”
