On this day (April 6, 1997) Metallica played the Pepsi Arena in Albany.

The Poor Touring Me Tour had Metallica out on the road in support of their sixth studio album Load and the Pepsi Arena (now the Times Union Center) stop would feature special guests Corrosion of Conformity. I remember being in attendance for the show and it kicked ass as expected. It would be my second time seeing Metallica live. My first Metallica show was in 1994 on the Shit Hits the Sheds Tour which featured Metallica with Danzig and Suicidal Tendencies.

The setlist for the Albany show featured tons of Metallica classics along with songs off the album Load and a killer encore "Last Caress", "Master of Puppets", "Enter Sandman", and "Battery". Check out the full set list from the Albany show courtesy of setlist.fm here.
