Fan filmed video footage from Metallica’s 9/20 surprise club show at The Metro in Chicago, IL has been shared online. The event marked the band’s second last-minute gig in the past week, following a September 16 appearance in San Francisco, CA as they promote the newly-released series of 30th anniversary issues of their 1991 self-titled album.

Metallica said as they announced the show via social media: “THAT was way too much fun last week as we finally played in front of real live fans for the first time in over two years in our hometown of San Francisco. So why not do it again?? This time we’re in Chicago and we’ll be hitting the stage at the storied Metro on Clark Street tonight… our first time back there since 1983!!”

Metallica performed a 16-song set featuring material from their throughout their four-decade career. “CHICAGO!!!!!! Last night was insane!,” the group posted online the following day. “Thanks to all of you who were able to come out to the Metro Chicago on such short notice… it was a night to remember!”
