'The Ultimate Metallica Show' Recap: Ghost, Kansas City + More

With 72 Seasons out in the wild, The Ultimate Metallica Show has a few more tracks to add to its potential playlist. And after Metallica kicks off their M72 tour later this week, we'll have a new treasure trove of live tracks to cull from, too.

Until then—and after, of course—my goal remains simple: Celebrate all things Mighty Metallica. We did just that on the latest edition of the show, including pulling out another live performance from Jimmy Kimmel Live!, a killer cover of "Enter Sandman" by none other than Ghost and a track from my first Metallica show (Kansas City in '04).

If you missed the show, you can stream it live 24/7 here. Check out the full playlist below.

Metallica: The Week They Released '72 Seasons'

There's no question that Metallica's new album, 72 Seasons, was already one of the world's most anticipated releases of the year when it came out on April 14.
