Metallica opened their "Life Burns Faster" residency at Sphere in Las Vegas on Thursday night, becoming the first metal band to play the venue.
The show opened with "Battery," with the 16K wraparound screen flipped to show the crowd looking back at itself. Before the band came on, the walls were covered in fan flags and banners from around the world.
Sphere cost $2.3 billion to build and has 167,000 speaker drivers and 10,000 haptic seats. Metallica says no two weekends of the residency will have the same set list.
