Metallica In Lima
Metallica, the iconic American band, opened their Death Magnetic Tour 2010 on January 19, 2010 at the Stadium of San Marcos in Lima, Peru addressing more than 50,000 frenzied fans who lived a memorable show.
After a tense wait of several hours, about 9:20 at night we were able to hear the first chords of the instrumental track "The Ecstasy of Gold", composed by Ennio Morricone, and a piece that Metallica uses to open their shows.
Immediately, came the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse surprising everyone by opening the concert with the spectacular "Creeping Death": they could not choose a better way to start the show, with this devastating track of the album "Ride the Lightning", that was the prelude of what would come next in a night full of overflowing emotions, moshing and heavy metal.
And as we were greatly pleased with the start, they continued to do so because the public immediately exploded again with "For Whom the Bell Tolls", after the introduction by the hands of Robert Trujillo, followed with "Fuel", where it caused a tremendous pit, and then "Harvester of Sorrow". Then the things were calm down a bit and we heard the beautiful sounds of the acoustic guitar intro of "Fade to Black", one of the most representative songs of the band.
The relative calm was followed with 2 tracks of Death Magnetic, "That Was Just Your Life" and "The End of the Line" (which did not excited the people); then again the spirits arose with "Sad But True", "Broken, Beat & Scarred" (which James dedicated to the fans) and "Cyanide".
From there, we entered the final rush of the concert: the lights went out and started the first sounds of explosions of "One", in the middle of the pyrotechnics and tongues of fire, resounded another of the great classics of the band, joining then with the highly anticipated "Master of Puppets". At this point, the stadium was total madness: 50,000 souls shouting "Come crawling faster, Obey your Master Your life burns faster, Obey your Master, Master".
