13 Greatest Ever Metallica Live Performances

4. Day On The Green 1991

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxmz2LKMZ4o The 1991 edition of the almost two decades long rock festival was a sad watershed moment for live music in America, marking the last of the real Day On The Green events with the passing of promoter Bill Graham. Rather fittingly, the bill was a genius bit of booking, putting Metallica on the same bill as Queensrÿche, Faith No More, and Soundgarden. Yes, the band played again in 1992 after Graham€™s death in a helicopter accident, but it didn€™t quite match the brilliance or importance of the moment. In an incredible set, the band premiered €œWherever I May Roam€, €œThrough The Never€, €œHolier Than Thou€ and €œThe Unforgiven€ adding further historical relevance.
