Captured at NRG Stadium in Houston on 14 June 2025 during the M72 World Tour, this multicam, high-definition live concert follows Metallica on the 360° circular stage that defines this run. Formed in Los Angeles in 1981 and an absolute reference of thrash metal, the quartet delivers a repertoire spanning four decades, from the fast early assaults to the broader songs of the modern era and tracks from “72 Seasons.” James Hetfield leads the charge on vocals and rhythm guitar, supported by Kirk Hammett’s solos, Lars Ulrich’s drumming and Robert Trujillo’s bass. The recording conveys the sonic power and visual scale of the stadium production: massive riffs, tightly drilled breaks and the fervour of a crowd of tens of thousands. For metal fans, this 2025 full concert documents a band still at the top of its stagecraft, more than forty years after its debut, in one of the largest stadiums in the southern United States.
