this was the infamous free show in the corestates center parking lot to promote reload, which came out the following week

it was almost shut down by the city of philadelphia, which then insisted that people would need tickets to get in even though it was a free show. thus many thousands were turned back at the gates

also this is one of the wonkiest set lists metallica have ever played, and an unusually sloppy show to boot. much more like a rehearsal jam than a proper gig

also,

i wonder if they opened for green day
