I Was Supposed to Be in Indy Last Night

Once upon a time, I thought spring break for the kids was this week - starting on Friday, March 8, 2019. When I thought that, I thought that we would go to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, OH. I thought if we were on the road to Cleveland, OH, we certainly would need to stop in Indy to see Metallica.

Well, here's the 'modern' thought. Spring break for the kids is not THIS week. It starts on Friday, March 15, 2019. Thus, I was not in Indy last night.

In either case, this is what Metallica played:

1. Hardwired
2. Atlas, Rise!
3. Seek & Destroy
4. Ride the Lightning
5. The Unforgiven
6. Now That We’re Dead
7. Creeping Death
8. For Whom the Bell Tolls
9. Here Comes Revenge
10. Indiana medley of the Zero Boys’ “Vicious Circle” and “Amphetamine Addiction” and John Mellencamp’s “I Need a Lover” performed by Rob Trujillo and Kirk Hammett
11. Hit the Lights
12. Fuel
13. Moth Into Flame
14. Sad But True
15. One
16. Master of Puppets
Encore
17. Fight Fire with Fire
18. Nothing Else Matters
19. Enter Sandman

Compared to the setlist I heard when I saw them in Newton, IA, ignoring where tunes were placed in the setlist, I see these differences between Newton, IA, and Indy, IN:

1. "Hit the Lights" not "Whiplash"
2. "Ride the Lightning" not "Fade to Black"
3. "Creeping Death" not "Wherever I May Roam"
4. "Fight Fire with Fire" replaced "Blackened"
5. "Here Comes Revenge" not "Halo on Fire"

I would gladly take "Whiplash," "Ride" would trump "Fade", "Death" would trump "Roam", "Blackened" would trump "Fire", and "Halo" or "Revenge" is a wash - both are great choices.
