13 Greatest Ever Metallica Live Performances

6. Wembley 2007

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7pQYl__tnY It€™s hard to argue with the band when it comes to their own favourite performances and this Wembley performance taken from the middle of the band€™s Sick Of The Studio European tour has long been suggested as a favourite of theirs. Played a day after they€™d played Live Earth, the concert proved the perfect example of why the band choose to use such impressively monumental sound systems. Having been forced to spend their preceding day alongside the likes of Razorlight, this felt like loud, beautifully disorientating catharsis as Hetfield and co shook the stadium to its foundations. Yes, there was no new material, and they€™d had to bat away accusations of age taking its toll, this gig was played harder and faster than Metallica had played for years.
