Metallica played night two of their “Life Burns Faster” residency at Las Vegas’ Sphere on Saturday, and, as promised, repeated no songs from night one. Fans who attended both nights at the futuristic venue were also treated to completely different visuals on night two, which kicked off with …And Justice for All‘s “Blackened” for the first as an opener since 2014.
The band dug deep into their catalog with ReLoad‘s “Devil’s Dance” for the first time since 2008, and Load‘s “The Outlaw Torn” for the first time since 2019. Metallica also delivered a number of the big classics missing from night one, including “Fuel,” “Welcome Home (Sanitarium),” “For Whom the Bell Tolls,” “One,” and the set closing “Enter Sandman.”
