Last month, Metallica reprised their 1999 collaboration with the San Francisco Symphony to celebrate the grand opening of Chase Center last month. The concert was aptly dubbed S&M² and will hit theaters worldwide on October 9. Before then, you can watch two minutes of the band performing "The Memory Remains" from the show, which should send chills up just about every Metallica fan's spine. It sounds so damn good! The San Francisco Symphony was conducted by Edwin Outwater for the shows, and was guest conducted by conductor Michael Tilson Thomas.
S&M was originally performed with The San Francisco Symphony at The Berkeley Community Theatre on April 21 and 22, 1999. Metallica released the record in November 1999, and over the course of the past 20 years has sold more than 5.5 million copies of it in the United States alone. Outside the film release of S&M², a live album is also expected.
