In the summer of 2009, Metallica was riding high on the critical and commercial success of their ninth studio album, Death Magnetic . While the tour spanned the globe, few places on Earth could match the fervor of Mexico City. Over three consecutive nights—June 4, June 6, and James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Kirk Hammett, and Robert Trujillo delivered distinct, adrenaline-fueled sets.
