GIG REPORT Location: Lubbock, TX Date: Sep 4, 2004 Venue: United Spirit Arena Other bands: Godsmack
Report: Augustus Ruby
This is my first Metallica concert and its one of those things I'm going to remember forever. The show was scheduled to start at 7:30, but they started a little late. Godsmack started and kicked ass their entire hour long set. Lots of random explosions and flashing lights. It took the Running Crew about and hour to switch the stages out. By the time Ecstasy started we, were more than ready and louder than Metallica most of the show. They started with Battery, followed by stuff from Re-Load, Fuel and Memory. The then did Frantic St. Anger, and for the first time live the boys played Sweet Amber. they then went back and did alot of their old shit. I don't remember all what songs or the order, but partway through for I'm pretty sure the first time since Cliff died they played Orion and the shit hit the fan. It was the loudest part of the entire concert and I could hardly hear them play it. They did all their usuals and On the first encore they played Enter Sandman. On the ! second encore they played Seek and Destroy. Overall their set took about two and a half hours. It was awesome
