Master of Puppets
Metallica performing Master of Puppets @ Sofi Stadium (August 25, 2023)
@Metallica #metallica @SoFiStadium
Back in the early to mid 1980s I was a huge fan of Metallica. Ride the Lighting and Master of Puppets will always remain masterpieces in my opinion. Kill ‘Em All is also very good. Justice is just OK and then I lost all interest in everything that followed.
The last time I saw them live was in the 1990s. I’ve had numerous chances to see them since and have passed. I’ve even been staying at the same hotel they were at a couple of times while traveling and still didn’t bother to attend. So seeing them in 2023 wasn’t exactly my idea, but I did finally get roped into seeing them again on the M72 World Tour–two nights with two totally different setlists. Tonight is night two.
The good news is I still adore the Cliff Burton era stuff. The other good news is that if I need to pee, I have opportunities that I don’t have with bands that play only songs that I love.

I’m not sure exactly where I was when I took the above photo. This was somewhere between BART and the stadium (then known as AT&T Park) where we saw Roger Water’s perform The Wall.

Eggy’s Jake Brownstein leading the “Carry On” (CSNY) session featuring Holly Bowling, Dan Lebo, and others in the High Sierra Music Hall @ 2023 High Sierra Music Festival

High Sierra does something I haven’t seen regularly done at music festivals, and that is to have pre-planned artist collaborations around a particular theme. Nearly all of these events take place in the High Sierra Music Hall (AKA: Serpilio Hall on the grounds of the Plumas Sierra County Fair). Given that this year’s festival was hot every day (90s in the shade by noon), and this venue had air conditioning (that didn’t work great but was still enough to make it cooler indoors than out), it became the go-to place before the sun finally went down each day.
One such event was the band Eggy doing some Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young tunes (sometimes with guest artists).
The setlist was something like this:
Find the Cost of Freedom
Love the One You’re With
Southern Cross
Carry On
Helplessly Hoping
Suite: Judy Blue Eyes (with Dan Lebo and Holly Bowling)
