6:07 "That was for my hero, Mr. Phil Lynott. We miss you". Metallica is always great at paying respect to their influences. Superb performance.

[@revwillyg6450]

Lots of Thin Lizzy love in that crowd!🤘🏻

[@SB-jc7wz]

Sucks man, paying for their version of Whiskey in the jarrow.... dull and daft bunch! BE a normal man, and surprise the crowd with another one like "emerald song". Better yet: put Orion or Phantom Lord in the place of a suckup song. Aint paying to see em play covers...asif they cant find any other own material to have on setlist. Dweepy moments fine, not during my time as paying visitor.

Wow….I missed that…thanks for pointing it out….nice of him to acknowledge Phil L.

[@jimbobmcgee]

I think this might be the best performance of this song I've ever heard from Metallica! James's singing was so SO good and the new twists he added to the vocal melody were great, and Rob's harmonies were absolutely PERFECT. The playing was TIGHT, the solo and harmonies were CLEAN and the mix was great!

[@damonjohnson8337]

My thoughts EXACTLY!!!!!

[@pdegan2814]

I'd say this is running neck and neck with the video of them singing it at Slane Castle in Ireland about 5 years ago.

[@pigskinpoetry]

And the crowd was digging it!

It didn't sound like that in real life they were extremely poor live and boring

No band in the world has aged as well as Metallica

[@FreeMTrider]

I think you're right. I've seen a lot of bands...including Metallica back in the early '80s and can't think on one that is at their level and still bringing the energy. Maybe Iron Maiden is the other. Anthrax too.

[@redacted1462]

anthrax has aged even better

[@Tdrummer888]

Lars single-handedly proves that wrong emphatically

[@KBizzy]

Right… Maiden’s energy remains off the charts in their live shows, as well as Anthrax. Both bands retain the bulk of their core essential lineups. Metallica’s live energy is not all that much compared to the other two

[@gerardoa9179]

Being that I am not in the Uk I don't think I will get the full whiskey in the jar like you guys did but maybe a medley with the 2 like they have done at other shows but I'm crossing my fingers for both in full.

So proud to say I was there no more than 10 meters from these legends, by far the best set and performance I have seen and i will never forget it! Not a single day goes past where at some point I dont listen to a track from these guys and it blows my mind to think they don't need to do this. Over 30 years of these guys being part of my life is epic, feeling quite emotional just typing this message.

For helping me find my calling in my life. My son is 5 years old and "crown of barbwire" is the 1st song from metallica he has embraced,thanks for that too.

I noticed a year or two ago that he's been slowly but surely inchining it up up for a while. It definately looks a lot more comfortable where he's got it now. I don't know how he played with it so far down it really isn't comfy to play at all.

[@the_minimalistic_adventure]

Maybe it’s just me but I MUCH prefer seeing them on a stage like this than the big area setup that they’ve been using for years. It just feels more “natural” and real to me.

[@AlexH8280]

Agreed. The 360 stage setup is a little weird and all over the place. But then I've never experienced it in person, couldn't tell you if that makes a difference.

[@anotherone7924]

Absolutely! All of them, close to each other, looking like an actual band, facing crowd feels so much better than all those wacky concepts when they are like miles apart, no backline and often turned back to the audience. This latest "doughnut" stage thing is just plain stupid.

[@fredriksvard2603]

I couldn't bring myself to travel for this tour because of the stage design (and a few other issues with the current album cycle)

[@joelthegoat4284]

No man I think a lot of people agree with u. It feels more like a band that way

[@rampager1990]

​@@AlexH8280 done both recently ( was at these shows and London in 2017 ) I felt closer to the band in 360 stage even though I was further back, was literally at the front at download but there's a big gap between the stage and then there's the snake pit so unless they're on the walkway, they aren't close at all. Obviously they were on it a lot. All were great shows, not complaining. I guess if you're further back the stage show is better, you've got all the screens and the view of the pyrotechnics and stuff.

[@herbertwest9626]

And once again, we're waiting for a DVD and live album at the end of the year. They're in a great shape, they sound phantastic, they're in the best mood since...I don't know... and it's just time for a new DVD. Let’s say they play 30 or more different songs on this tour (because of the two nights/different songs idea) and a couple of tracks that hadn't been added yet. That would make a great double DVD/live album. And yes, I prefer the festival stage like here at Donington instead of that gigantic round one inside the stadiums. But never mind that. Just to see the guys on stage in that grand condition and powerful sublimity is a treat for every metal fan.
