Metallica's Damaged Justice tour hit Buffalo's legendary Memorial Auditorium on March 13, 1989. The Aud — the same room where Frank Sinatra recorded a live album, where the Grateful Dead played a Grammy-nominated show, and where Rush shot the cover of "Exit… Stage Left" — hosted one of the greatest metal tours ever assembled.
