For the first time, the event was open to the public (about 5,000 tickets were made available and sold) which is amazing.  Drummer, Lars Ulrich, made sure to recognize the band’s fans and said “This is all about all of you people up in the balcony. Remember that!”
They performed some of their biggest hits but I had to seek out and find “Enter Sandman” on YouTube.  Enjoy:
