Metallica played at the TD Banknorth Garden in Boston on January 18th, 2009 for their World Magnetic tour. I ordered tickets a few months ago as a bundle deal, with which I received two tickets, two Death Magnetic CDs, and two codes to download digital copies of the show afterwards. The TD Banknorth Garden has a maximum capacity of 19,580, and from what I could see, there weren’t many empty seats, so the total attendance was probably close to that number. While there, I took a few photos with my iPhone.

There were two opening acts, The Sword and Machine Head. The set was 18 songs, which represents (by my count) only 15% of Metallica’s original songs, and only 12% if you count the Garage Inc. album, which was only cover songs.

1. That Was Just Your Life
2. The End Of The Line
3. Harvester Of Sorrow
4. For Whom the Bell Tolls
5. One
6. Broken, Beat And Scarred
