Wow. What a weekend!
It has been more than two years since we’ve seen any live music (thanks pandemic!) Our last big shows were September 2019 where we saw Metallica with the San Francisco Symphony.
This time around we are back in San Francisco as Metallica celebrated their 40th Anniversary. The celebration weekend included two shows. December 17 & 19, 2021. They promised unique setlist and they did NOT disappoint. We heard deep cuts, classics and even a live debut… “Fixxxer” from their 1997 album Reload. For these shows they went in chronological order on night one and reverse for night two. Check out these set lists, a few of my photos and my video of “Fixxxer” below.
December 17, 2021 setlist:
- Hit the Lights
- Creeping Death
- Trapped Under Ice
- Welcome Home (Sanitarium)
- Orion
- The Shortest Straw
- One
- Sad But True
- Nothing Else Matters
- King Nothing
- Fixxxer (Live Debut)
- Breadfan
- No Leaf Clover

SHOW NOTES
This was the first of two shows celebrating Metallica's 40th Anniversary.
At least one song was performed from each studio album and the setlist was structured in chronological order.
This was the first time in over nine years that "Trapped Under Ice" was performed live. It was last played on June 23, 2012.
This was the first time in over five years that "Orion" was played in the U.S.. It was last performed in the United States on September 27, 2016.
This was the first time in nearly five years that "King Nothing" was performed. It was last played on January 18, 2017.
This was live debut of "Fixxxer." It's time for fans to find another deep cut to obsess over.
