Metallica closed out the final day of Power Trip 2023 with a bang — I mean that both figuratively and literally, there were many pyrotechnics — and I think everyone there could agree it's a performance we won't soon forget.

Here's what the group performed at the Empire Polo Club on Oct. 8 (in chronological order):

  1. "Whiplash"

  2. "Creeping Death"

  3. "For Whom the Bell Tolls"

  4. "Enter Sandman"

  5. "Lux Æterna"

  6. "Too Far Gone?"

  7. "Fade to Black"

  8. "Fuel"

  9. "Orion"

  10. "Nothing Else Matters"

  11. "Sad but True"

  12. "The Day That Never Comes"

  13. "Hardwired"

  14. "Seek & Destroy"

  15. "One"
