I embarked from Lower Manhattan with Rob Caggiano (of Volbeat and Anthrax fame), Michael Alago (legendary A&R rep behind Metallica and White Zombie), and my buddy Dimitri, a photographer covering the event for another media outlet. It was a three-hour drive seeded with stories, laughs, and a growing buzz you could sense in the air. We rolled into Amagansett around 4 p.m., finding a pre-show scene already electric: fans, media, VIPs, and hopefuls - everyone drawn to this one-night-only spectacle.

It happened outside Long Island's Stephen Talkhouse, under a 500-capacity tent, where the band ripped through a 13-song set loaded with classics. They also paid tribute to Ozzy Osbourne, with Kirk Hammett and Robert Trujillo jamming "Crazy Train" for their nightly "doodle." "This reminds us of the club days," James Hetfield told the crowd, as Rolling Stone points out. "Getting hot and sweaty and up close and personal."

The corporate Salesforce conference Dreamforce has named Metallica as its headliner for the big concert they have every year, and Benson Boone will play too, but the bigger news may be that Dreamforce is moving to mid-October. If you follow the legacy metal band Metallica these days, you likely know the current iteration of the band never meets a corporate promotion deal they don't like. Though to be fair, the once-SF-based band also does a lot of charity work.

I'm not going to confirm anything, because there's nothing to confirm. But I'm not going to deny it, because we're all such fans of this venue. It's something that we're considering, [but] nothing is etched in stone or green-lit.

All Within My Hands was established in 2017 by the members and management of Metallica and is dedicated to creating sustainable communities through workforce education, the fight against hunger, and other critical local services.
