"THAT was way too much fun last week as we finally played in front of real live fans for the first time in over two years in our hometown of San Francisco," posted Metallica as they announced the show via social media. "So why not do it again?? This time we're in Chicago and we'll be hitting the stage at the storied Metro on Clark Street tonight... our first time back there since 1983!!"
Metallica performed a 16-song set featuring material from their throughout their four-decade career. "CHICAGO!!!!!! Last night was insane!," shared the group online the following day. "Thanks to all of you who were able to come out to the Metro Chicago on such short notice... it was a night to remember!"
