Stream and Download Metallica’s Entire Concert in Buffalo, New York
The first time Metallica performed in Buffalo, N.Y., was on Wednesday, Aug. 3, 1983. While they were touring the country on their Kill 'Em All For One tour, they stopped by Buffalo to open for Motörhead at Rooftop Skyroom on Seneca Street. Tickets were $8 at the door and Metallica put together an intense 10-song set, opening with "Hit the Lights" and closing the night with "Motorbreath."
Since that gig, they've performed at many different spots in Erie County, swinging by the KeyBank Center on Oct. 27, 2018, on their WorldWired tour in support of Hardwired...to Self-Destruct.
It took nearly another four years for Metallica to make their way back to Buffalo on Aug. 11, 2022—almost 39 years to the day from that first Buffalo show—but as the tens of thousands of fans who witnessed their return can attest to, it was worth the wait. With the help of openers Ice Nine Kills and Greta Van Fleet, Metallica packed out Highmark Stadium for a night of nonstop rock and roll.
Whether you were there or not, you can now re-live the moment over and over thanks to Metallica's impressive, ongoing archival efforts. You can stream and download the complete concert at LiveMetallica.com or via nugs.net.
Opening with "Whiplash"—a song Metallica hadn't played in Buffalo since 1994—the night's setlist mirrored many of Metallica's shows throughout the year, with one notable exception: Instead of opening their encore with "Battery" or "Damage, Inc.," they decided to pull out "Blackened" from ...And Justice For All. This was only the second time they performed it live in 2022.
