Metallica played their second Amsterdam show tonight – featuring a completely different setlist to Thursday's first show at the Johan Cruijff ArenA.
The thrash giants got their two-year M72 World Tour underway in the Netherlands with two impressive setlists. Thursday's set included a surprise opener in instrumental Orion from Master Of Puppets.
Tonight's performance saw them open with The Call of Ktulu from their second album Ride the Lightning. They also played the title track from new album 72 Seasons and gave a live debut to You Must Burn!
Metallica closed the show with the hard hitting double of One and Enter Sandman.
Nightwish vocalist Floor Jansen opened the show as a late replacement for Five Finger Death Punch, who pulled out to give singer Ivan Moody time to recover from hernia surgery. Ice Nine Kills were the other support act for Saturday's show.
The full setlist, and some fan footage from tonight's show, can be viewed below.
Metallica's M72 tour features a new in-the-round stage set, with the band's iconic "snake pit" relocated to the centre of the stage, giving fans a 360-degree view of the performance.
