Metallica Debut Their Longest Song — and One of James Hetfield’s Favorites — Live
Metallica performed their '72 Seasons' closer — and the longest song in their catalog — live for the first time in Munich.
Despite his enthusiasm, Hetfield prefaced his intro with a few seemingly self-conscious — though ultimately — endearing words: “This next song we have never, ever played live before. “Inamorata” closes out 72 Seasons, and Rolling Stone highlighted the song in our review of the album, calling it a “master class in melancholy” and a “sprawling, 11-minute jam that slowly uncoils with sludgy, snarling riffs.” They’ll kick off another North American leg on Aug. 2 at Gillette Stadium outside of Boston and wrap with a four-night stand in Mexico City on Sept. 20, 22, 27, and 29.
