Metallica stream Sad But True performance from Zurich concert

Metallica is streaming video of a performance of its 1991 classic, “Sad But True”, from a May 27 concert in Zurich, Switzerland.

The fifth single from “Metallica” (aka The Black Album) was featured during the group’s 15 song-set at the city’s Stadion Letzigrund, where they were joined by openers Gojira and Knocked Loose.

“The Black Album” has been certified 20x platinum for US sales in excess of 20 million copies.

The project’s 1991 release not only gave Metallica its first No. 1 album in no fewer than 10 countries – including a 4-week run at No. 1 in the US, while its unrelenting series of singles - "Enter Sandman", "The Unforgiven", "Nothing Else Matters", "Wherever I May Roam", and "Sad But True" - fueled the band's rise to stadium headlining, radio and MTV dominating household name status.

Metallica is also sharing video of a performance of “Harvester Of Sorrow” from the Zurich event as part of their ongoing M72 World Tour in support of the band’s latest release, “72 Seasons.”
