Metallica plays “Phantom Lord” live for the first time in 5 years; watch

The band released an official video of the performance.

Last May 25th, Metallica performed at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and had a surprise during their set.

The song “Phantom Lord”, from the album No Life 'til Leather (1982), was played for the first time in five years and the group filmed the moment so that all the fans can watch.

The set was part of the North American WorldWired in support of the release of the album Hardwired… to Self-Destruct (2016).
