The Metallica show on February 13, 1987, at Frölundaborg in Gothenburg, Sweden, was a historic and emotionally charged event, serving as the final date of the Damage, Inc. Tour.
Historical Significance
- End of an Era: This was the final show of the massive world tour supporting Master of Puppets.
- Tragic Context: The tour was famously marred by the death of original bassist Cliff Burton in a bus accident in Sweden just months earlier on September 27, 1986.
- The “New” Lineup: This show featured Jason Newsted on bass, who had joined the band in late 1986 to complete the tour.
- Rescheduled Date: The concert was originally supposed to take place on January 10, 1987, but was rescheduled to February 13.
