Metallica, 2010-05-19 - Pavilhão Atlântico, Lisbon

Metallica time "World Magnetic Tour 10".

Wed, May 19, 2010 in Lisbon, Portugal @ Pavilhão Atlântico

I arrive there in the afternoon. I had a Balcony ticket. That's why this concert I could arrive late.

Metallica were amazing. There's no band that do a show like them. They really love Portugal and they show it. The guys were really happy. The sound was amazing. Also did 249 photos during the day.
This was the second show in Pavilhão Atlântico (May 18th and 19th). I was sad to not go close the stage this time and sad to miss the first show (the tickets sold out very fast).
When Metallica finish the concert they stood on stage about 10 minutes at least saying hi to everyone on the first rows and giving hundreds of picks and drum sticks to everyone. I never saw other bands doing this for so long.
About the songs. Watching the 2 setlists I prefer this one of the second day (the one I went). They sang some songs that I love on the second show like "WHEREVER I MAY ROAM" (simply amazing) and "ALL NIGHTMARE LONG" (is also amazing).

We had 2 bands before Metallica ("Volbeat" and "High On Fire").

The first band was Volbeat. They played for 36 minutes.

I will write here the setlist:

1. The Human Instrument
2. Radio Girl
3. Sad Man's Tongue
4. Hallelujah Goat
5. Mr. & Mrs. Ness
6. I Only Want to Be with You (Dusty Springfield cover)
7. Boa [JDM]
8. Pool of Booze, Booze, Booza
9. Guitar Gangsters & Cadillac Blood
10. Rebel Monster
11. Still Counting (w/ Raining Blood outro)


The second band was High On Fire. They played for 42 minutes.

Finally was time for Metallica. They started the show at 21h41 and played for 122 minutes.

What an amazing show it was. I will write here the setlist:

The Ecstasy of Gold (Ennio Morricone song) (INTRO)
1. That Was Just Your Life
2. Cyanide
3. For Whom The Bell Tolls
4. The Shortest Straw
5. The Day That Never Comes
