‘The Ultimate Metallica Show’ Recap: Live From Amsterdam

Now that Metallica have released the official downloads of their first two shows of 2023, expect those live tracks to start popping up on The Ultimate Metallica Show each weekend. As more shows become available, we'll keep expanding the playlist, too.

Along with a couple of tracks from the M72 stop in Amsterdam from a couple of weeks ago, we kicked off Mother's Day Weekend with James Hetfield's heartfelt and painful ode to his Mama, we pulled out a sweaty track from the basement of a record store and we went all the way back to the demo tape that started it all.
