The album *S&M2* is a follow-up to *S&M*, released in 1999 and recorded with the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra. The two unforgettable concerts played in San Francisco in front of 40,000 fans from 70 countries are finally available in the *S&M2* album and film.
Recorded on September 6 and 8, 2019, *S&M2* marks the first reunion of Metallica and the orchestra since the Grammy-winning *S&M*. *S&M2* captures over 2.5 hours of James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Kirk Hammett, and Robert Trujillo joining forces with the nearly 80-member ensemble to perform the greatest hits of their career.
