Setlist: Yes

Instead of doing a song by song review, I think I'll elaborate on the highlights of the concert! I came to this concert pretty much fresh off the surgeons table... (appendicitis not only sucks, it kept me from the Dec. 19th Fresno concert! ::kicks self:::) Anyway, onto the nights highlights!

Sad But True: Always a favorite!

Ain't My Bitch: I came to love this one live, in fact I kinda wish they'd bring this one back into the setlist, but Fuel ain't a bad replacement for that matter...

Bleeding Me: Another favorite, and probably the best live performance of this particular song I've heard......yet ;)

King Nothing: I like this one, actually, I like this one enough that, considering it's kinda close to Sandman, why not get rid of Sandman for a while and replace it with this one???? (Annaleigh, quite possibly a card carrying member of the Sick of Sandman Live Club)

All the Oldies: I definetly could not envision a Metallica concert without Bells or Fade to Black, and obviously, I was reminded why this time around! :)

The Big Stunt: Someone who went to the Fresno gig spoiled it for me, but, let me tell ya..even though I knew it was coming, my heart still jumped into right into my throat when it happened...fuck the Oscars, they should have an awards show for this shit!

Lastly, Overall vibe: Totally Metallica...yeah, it had it's share of people bitching about the Load tunes, but the beauty of it was no one else seemed to fucking care !
