On June 4, 2017, I got to not only see my favorite band of all time, Metallica, but I also got to photograph their concert at Busch Stadium in St. Louis, MO. Metallica brought Volbeat and Local H to town on their WorldWired Tour.

It had been almost 10 years since Metallica last played in St. Louis and the crowd of 39,000 was pumped and ready to make up for lost time. Even though it rained the whole night, the fans did not let that stop them from having the time of their lives.
