Metallica / Sigur Ros at Outside Lands – 8/11/12
Metallica‘s headlining set on Saturday featured lots of the band’s classic material (“Master of Puppets,” “Ride the Lightning,” “Creeping Death”) paired with a fair amount of pyro and endless shout-outs to San Francisco. “We’re very grateful to be playing in the backyard of the greatest city,” said frontman James Hetfield. He also noted that a friend of his who lives a good distance from the park told him earlier that he could hear the band soundcheck all the way from his house. “So we’re not only playing for you,” said Hetfield. “We’re playing for all of the Bay Area.” [Rolling Stone]
The 2012 Outside Lands Music & Arts Festival continued on Saturday (8/11) in San Francisco after kicking off a day earlier (8/10). Saturday’s portion of the festival gave us a headlining set by Metallica, who, unfortunately for Jonsi, Sigur Ros was playing their set at the same time on a different stage. Saturday also saw sets by The Kills, Explosions in the Sky, Tame Impala, Alabama Shakes, and more.
