Metallica perform a rarity during their second show at The Sphere

Metallica delivered the second performance of their “Life Burns Faster” residency on Saturday night, October 3, at the Sphere in Las Vegas, Nevada, as per Blabbermouth. The multi-month engagement encompasses 24 total dates configured as 12 “No Repeat Weekends” running through March. Echoing the setup of their ongoing “M72” world tour, each Thursday and Saturday stand guarantees completely distinct setlists with zero overlap between the two evenings. Saturday’s concert launched with “Blackened” before launching into “Fuel” and “Leper Messiah.” The heavy metal icons then treated fans to rare deep cuts, unearthing the “Reload” track “Devil’s Dance” for the first time in 18 years, as well as reviving “The Outlaw Torn” for its first live performance in seven years.

Setlist:

1. Blackened
2. Fuel
3. Leper Messiah
4. Devil’s Dance
