Earlier this year Metallica announced plans to celebrate the 20th anniversary of their S&M album with a one-off show to open the Chase Centre in San Francisco on September 6, where they were to be joined once again by the city’s orchestra.

Tickets, understandably, vanished in mere seconds, so the band decided to add an additional second show on September 8.

Metallica will share the milestone with fans across the world by screening footage from both nights for one night only at 3000 cinemas on October 6.

It was also announced that at the two shows Metallica would be performing not only tracks from the original 1999 S&M release but "symphonic versions of new songs released since then.” Exciting!

Well, September 6 has been and gone, and the band stunned audiences with a once in a life time set show full of absolute bangers. Check it out...
