Last night Metallica played in Northern Ireland for the first time since Antrim Forum in 1988, and what a show it was. In the round meant great views for everyone. Lasers at the start, fire in the middle, beach balls at the end. They played a great range of tracks, old and new. There were some surprise songs that I wasn’t expecting to hear, but glad they played, like Welcome Home (Sanitarium), and Creeping Death.

Great night had, and much better than when I saw them at the RDS in 2004. I am slightly jealous of those going to the second night in Belfast tonight, I want to go again!
