‘The Ultimate Metallica Show’ – Playlist and Recap – February 20, 2022

I don't know about you, but I'm ready for Boston Calling. The Strokes, Foo Fighters, The Struts, Run the Jewels...and Metallica.

All in one weekend.

Metallica will headline the final night—Sunday, May 29—and until that day comes, The Ultimate Metallica Show will do everything in its power to get you ready and excited. On Sunday night's show, we dove deep into Reload, pulled out James Hetfield's riff tape for "Leper Messiah" and blasted Metallica's acoustic take on "Blackened." We also shared Portugal. The Man's cover of "Don't Tread on Me."

Portugal. The Man are going to be in Boston with Alt-J on April 14; though I don't think they'll pull their cover of "Don't Tread on Me" out, they have recently been performing "For Whom the Bell Tolls," so who knows what will happen when they play Agganis Arena in just a few weeks.

If you missed the latest show, don't worry, we have you covered with the full playlist and recap below.
