My Review of “Metallica M72 World Tour Live in Cinemas” Night 2
I went to a repeat of Night 2 of Metallica’s M72 World Tour Live in Cinemas concert film on Monday, August 21, of 2023.
I missed the actual live broadcast the previous night because I was at another concert. That’s me.
Anyway, this was really cool because I ended up having the theater room all to myself. Everyone else must have gone to the live broadcast the previous night.
I’ve been a Metallica fan for 25 years and I always will be.
I’ve supported them through all their albums and tours and have defended them when they have taken a few twists and turns, musically.
But for the past 20 years, they have really been on a roll, still putting out great albums. Some of their best, in my opinion.
But whatever you think of their albums, they always deliver in concert.
This tour they are on they are playing in stadiums only, two nights at that stadium, are playing two completely different set lists, and are having different opening bands each night.
So, if you’re a fan, they are really giving you bang for your buck.
Anyway, this was awesome. Love all the songs. Couldn’t ask for anything more.
Set List:
- Whiplash
- For Whom The Bell Tolls
- Ride The Lightning
- Dirty Window
- 72 Seasons
- If Darkness Had a Son
- Fade To Black
- You Must Burn!
- The Call of Ktulu
- No Leaf Clover
- Wherever I May Roam
- Moth Into Flame
- Battery
- Whiskey In The Jar
- One
- Enter Sandman

My Review of “Metallica M72 World Tour Live in Cinemas” Night 1
I went to my local theater in Ashland, Kentucky to see Night 1 of a live Metallica concert film.
It really was live, shown in at least 2,500 theaters throughout the U.S.
This was night 1 of 2 concerts they are doing in Dallas, TX on August 18 and August 20 of 2023 (one repeat of each show is being shown in the same theaters the following night after each one).
The show started at 9 PM CT (10 PM ET where I was) and of course if you’re a Metallica fan, you know they are phenomenal live.
Well, they still are phenomenal live.
They give you everything they have and never disappoint.
It was great seeing and hearing them on the big screen and multiple speakers.
My only complaint is that I should have arrived at the theater shortly before 10 PM instead of 9:15 PM because I had to sit through 45 minutes of crowd shots, audio of various artists covering Metallica, and people in the live crowd doing the wave (which I hate and have never understood). Also, music was playing over people talking in promo ads, which eventually was fixed. And, sometimes the audio was distorted.
Aside from that, it was great.
I’ll be at the second night, but I’ll be at the repeat one since I’ll be seeing Jethro Tull for real in concert Sunday night of August 20. This I find kind of funny and ironic because Jethro Tull unfortunately beat out Metallica for a Metal Grammy in the late 80s. I say unfortunate because Jethro Tull are NOT a Metal band. But they are a good rock band though.
Either way, kind of funny.
Set List:
- Creeping Death
- Harvester of Sorrow
- Leper Messiah
- King Nothing
- Lux Aeterna
- Too Far Gone?
- Kirk and Robert Jam/Welcome Home (Sanitarium)
- Shadows Follow
- Orion
- Kirk Doodle/Nothing Else Matters
- Sad But True
- The Day That Never Comes
- Hardwired
