On June 8, Metallica unveiled the first official live video from their recent Boston Calling performance, and 24 hours later, they've shared another one. Fans can watch Metallica's crushing performance of "Ride the Lightning" in the video below.

Watch Metallica Perform "Ride the Lightning" Live in Boston

The titletrack for 1984's Ride the Lightning was the second song of the night at the Harvard Athletic Complex, coming right after "Whiplash" and before "The Memory Remains." The Boston Calling performance marked the 383rd time Metallica played the song live. The first time Metallica pulled it out onstage was on Oct. 31, 1983, at the Keystone in Palo Alto, Calif., a show that also featured the live debut of "Creeping Death."

Boston Calling was Metallica's first show in Boston in five years and it was a night full of intense performances of classic tracks from the band's career. While there were many highlights throughout the night—including the "Ride the Lightning" performance—two unforgettable moments came during James Hetfield's vulnerable speech in the middle of "Fade to Black" and Kirk Hammett's hilarious flub at the beginning of "Nothing Else Matters."

Some of Our Favorite Live Photos of James Hetfield

Covering nearly 20 years of performances, the below photos display why James Hetfield is one of the best frontmen in rock and roll.

Each shot shows his raw energy, intensity and overall fun spirit at Metallica's live shows. If a photo is worth a thousand words, we know these shots are worth thousands of Hetfield's growls.

Some of Our Favorite Live Photos of Robert Trujillo

If you've ever seen Metallica live in the last 20 years, you know how much of a monster Robert Trujillo is onstage. From his signature helicopter spin to his barking vocals, Trujillo is a musician few can imitate. We could share thousands of photos of Trujillo doing what he does best, but we decided to trim it down to just a few of our favorites.

Sometimes in rock bands, you'll find the bassist is more subdued or prefers to stay away from the spotlight. With Trujillo, he commands the attention of the crowd—and often, the attention of his bandmates—and Metallica's live shows are better because of it.

Check out some of our favorite live shots of Trujillo below, going all the way back to when he first joined the band in 2003.
