S&M (album)

Last updated

After Kamen's death in 2003, Metallica did not revisit the S&M concept in any further performances or recording work for years. However, the band announced on March 18, 2019, that they would hold a concert with the San Francisco Symphony at the Chase Center on September 6 of that year to commemorate the 20th anniversary with a single-night concert, headed by Michael Tilson Thomas as music director. They later added a second concert on September 8.

The shows included many songs from the original S&M performances, as well as renditions of songs that had been released since then. In August, it was announced that a film of the concerts would receive a limited worldwide theatrical release. [22] The concert was given a limited release and has grossed over 5.5 million dollars. [23] In August 2020, the band released the two 20th anniversary performances as an album, video, and box set entitled S&M2 . [24] [25]
