And Justice For All, Of Wolf And Man, I Disappear and The Outlaw Torn. Next up was the third "new" song of the week, Hell And Back before Met Club member Joseph Guariglia joined the band for Blitzkrieg. Jerry Cantrell from Alice In Chains was first up, followed by Animal from Anti-Nowhere League performing his classic So What! with the band... the night just kept rockin' with original Misfit Glenn Danzig and the Judas Priest legend Rob Halford all hitting the stage to belt out their classics.

The band closed out the four night 30th anniversary celebrations by starting the show with Orion, hitting a few favs like Welcome Home (Sanitarium) and Blackened and then played the fourth and final Death Magnetic outtake, Rebel of Babylon. The special guest portion of the evening started with Fan Club members Dennis and Annette Diaz joining the band for Blackened, followed by Bob Rock hitting the bass for Dirty Window and Frantic. The crowd went crazy for Geezer Butler and Ozzy as they joined the boys for Black Sabbath classics Iron Man and Paranoid... and then got very loud again as Dave Mustaine walked on stage for Phantom Lord, Jump In the Fire, and Metal Militia! It was old school Metallica night as Jason Newsted, Hugh Tanner, Ron McGovney, and Lloyd Grant all jammed with the guys during the night.
