Episode 428 - Polar Beach Party (pt. 2)

9/29/2025
On September 3rd, 1995 Metallica played an intimate show in Tuktoyatuk, Canada at a small venue accessible only by air. Approximately 500 contest winners and locals were in attendance. For years the only footage we have seen was a short documentary that was included in Fan Can, Volume II. Now, as part of the Load boxset, we can see the entire soundcheck and concert. In this episode Clint watches the the second half of the show and the "Week and a Half in the Life of Metallica part 3: Tuk" documentary with running commentary. Enjoy! You can watch along with the video HERE.
