Metallica's M72 World Tour continued tonight (May 19th) in Paris, marking the band's second performance in the French capital and the third date of the massive run, which began in Amsterdam last month. For this tour, James, Kirk, Rob and Lars are playing each location twice, and have promised "no repeats" of the same setlist, so this evening's configuration of songs was significantly different than what fans heard in Amsterdam and at the first Paris show, just two days before.
Metallica opened the 16-song set with a bang in the form of Ride the Lightning's "Creeping Death," followed by ...And Justice for All's "Harvester of Sorrow." They then played Death Magnetic's "Cyanide," marking the song's first appearance on the M72 tour, and first live performance since 2018.
In terms of new songs, three 72 Seasons cuts were played: "If Darkness Had a Son," "You Must Burn!" and the title track.
