The date was March 15th, 1989. Legions of heavy metal fans descended on Troy, New York to see Metallica at the RPI Field House. The band was rampaging across America on their “Damaged Justice” tour in support of their latest studio album “…and Justice for All,” and the Collar City stop would become a something of a noteworthy show from that era in the band’s history.
