Thank you, friends.
We'll take a small break,
enjoy the intermission.
Thank you.
Welcome.
Welcome, welcome, welcome.
Welcome, welcome, welcome.
Welcome, welcome, welcome
to the second act
of the second show.
I would like to bid a
very, very warm welcome
to all the Metallica
club members,
who have descended
upon San Francisco
from all over the world,
coming here to share
in this incredible
and unique experience.
Thank you, Metallica
club members, for coming.
You can applaud yourself.
There you go.
How many countries
of we count here?
Let's see, I see our
Polish friends over here.
Our German friends,
our Mexican friends,
our Swedish friends,
Costa Rica, Turkey,
Denmark, you are beautiful.
You are beautiful,
and thank you,
Brazil in the house right there.
That's right.
Yeah, I got pretty good grades
geography back in the day.
France, Israel.
Is that Panama-ish?
No.
And I also wanna thank
everybody in San Francisco
for welcoming the Metallica fans
and making them
all feel at home.
See if you can keep
that applause going
as long as you did for Memory.
I'll be back in five
minutes.
I also wanna thank
Edwin Outwater,
the resident conductor of
the San Francisco Symphony
for doing an incredible
job through the first half.
Please give it up, Edwin.
And now it's my great, great
honor to ask you to join me
in welcoming the
musical director
of the San Francisco
Symphony, 25 years running,
a dear friend of mine, a
dear friend of Metallica,
a dear friend of San Francisco,
the one, the only,
Michael Tilson Thomas.
Give it up.
Thank you.
The stage is all yours.
I'm going home.
Thank you, thank you,
thank you, Professor Lars.
Careful.
Before we go any further,
ladies and gentlemen,
I want to give a special
recognition and big bow
for one of the world's
greatest orchestras,
the San Francisco Symphony.
Because not only do
they have the chops
to play this and do this,
they have guts and
the spirit to do it.
Which is awesome.
Also, I wanna thank Lars,
James, Kirk, Roberto,
for having the incredible
courage and vision
to imagine this event
coming back 20 years later
and happening tonight.
So, we wanna play
one piece for you
where you just get to hear
the orchestra all by itself
and in many conversations
Lars and I have had
about classical music, we talk
about the different spirits
that are in it, and it
goes back 1,200 years,
so it's accomplished a lot in
the history of civilization.
And this piece that
we're playing you now
is one of those moments
in which classical music
and heavy metal sort
of fuse and combine.
And it's from this piece
called Scythian Suite,
so what do you need to
know about the Scythians?
Well, if you were in
central Asia in 700 B.C.,
they were the people to know.
What do we know about them?
They were masters of horses.
They were tribal.
They wore elaborate
metallic object decorations.
And they were very
heavily into tattoos.
So we thought you
would like this dance,
which is the dance of the
ecstatic spirits of the night.
So, right around that time as
primitivism was also futurism.
And futurism was all
about the might and power
of the machine and technology
and the way it was taking us
in its all-powerful way to
new places and new horizons.
And both Edwin and
I love this piece,
and we thought that this
would be a terrific piece
to introduce to the
guys of Metallica,
and being the intrepid,
brave listeners
and adventurous people they are,
they not only loved the piece,
but they wanted to
play it with us,
so this is gonna give
a new lease on life
to futurism of
hearing this piece
called The Iron Foundry
by Alexander Mosolov,
played by Metallica and
the San Francisco Symphony.

Very nice.
Good job, y'all.
Beautiful.
All right, so now is a
extra special moment.
Really taking a risk,
going way out there.
I'm not sure if you
remember Cliff Burton,
but we certainly do.
And one other person
especially in the symphony
remembers Cliff very well.
Please welcome Scott Pingel
to pay his respects to Cliff.

Thank you, friends.
We'll take a small break,
enjoy the intermission.
Thank you.
Welcome.
Welcome, welcome, welcome.
Welcome, welcome, welcome.
Welcome, welcome, welcome
to the second act
of the second show.
I would like to bid a
very, very warm welcome
to all the Metallica
club members,
who have descended
upon San Francisco
from all over the world,
coming here to share
in this incredible
and unique experience.
Thank you, Metallica
club members, for coming.
You can applaud yourself.
There you go.
How many countries
of we count here?
Let's see, I see our
Polish friends over here.
Our German friends,
our Mexican friends,
our Swedish friends,
Costa Rica, Turkey,
Denmark, you are beautiful.
You are beautiful,
and thank you,
Brazil in the house right there.
That's right.
Yeah, I got pretty good grades
geography back in the day.
France, Israel.
Is that Panama-ish?
No.
And I also wanna thank
everybody in San Francisco
for welcoming the Metallica fans
and making them
all feel at home.
See if you can keep
that applause going
as long as you did for Memory.
I'll be back in five
minutes.
I also wanna thank
Edwin Outwater,
the resident conductor of
the San Francisco Symphony
for doing an incredible
job through the first half.
Please give it up, Edwin.
And now it's my great, great
honor to ask you to join me
in welcoming the
musical director
of the San Francisco
Symphony, 25 years running,
a dear friend of mine, a
dear friend of Metallica,
a dear friend of San Francisco,
the one, the only,
Michael Tilson Thomas.
Give it up.
Thank you.
The stage is all yours.
I'm going home.
Thank you, thank you,
thank you, Professor Lars.
Careful.
Before we go any further,
ladies and gentlemen,
I want to give a special
recognition and big bow
for one of the world's
greatest orchestras,
the San Francisco Symphony.
Because not only do
they have the chops
to play this and do this,
they have guts and
the spirit to do it.
Which is awesome.
Also, I wanna thank Lars,
James, Kirk, Roberto,
for having the incredible
courage and vision
to imagine this event
coming back 20 years later
and happening tonight.
So, we wanna play
one piece for you
where you just get to hear
the orchestra all by itself
and in many conversations
Lars and I have had
about classical music, we talk
about the different spirits
that are in it, and it
goes back 1,200 years,
so it's accomplished a lot in
the history of civilization.
And this piece that
we're playing you now
is one of those moments
in which classical music
and heavy metal sort
of fuse and combine.
And it's from this piece
called Scythian Suite,
so what do you need to
know about the Scythians?
Well, if you were in
central Asia in 700 B.C.,
they were the people to know.
What do we know about them?
They were masters of horses.
They were tribal.
They wore elaborate
metallic object decorations.
And they were very
heavily into tattoos.
So we thought you
would like this dance,
which is the dance of the
ecstatic spirits of the night.
So, right around that time as
primitivism was also futurism.
And futurism was all
about the might and power
of the machine and technology
and the way it was taking us
in its all-powerful way to
new places and new horizons.
And both Edwin and
I love this piece,
and we thought that this
would be a terrific piece
to introduce to the
guys of Metallica,
and being the intrepid,
brave listeners
and adventurous people they are,
they not only loved the piece,
but they wanted to
play it with us,
so this is gonna give
a new lease on life
to futurism of
hearing this piece
called The Iron Foundry
by Alexander Mosolov,
played by Metallica and
the San Francisco Symphony.

Very nice.
Good job, y'all.
Beautiful.
All right, so now is a
extra special moment.
Really taking a risk,
going way out there.
I'm not sure if you
remember Cliff Burton,
but we certainly do.
And one other person
especially in the symphony
remembers Cliff very well.
Please welcome Scott Pingel
to pay his respects to Cliff.
