21 years ago, Metallica performed at San Quentin Prison, playing a full 10 song set.
Photographer Danny Clinch, who captured this photo, recalled the events of that day:
“Metallica at San Quentin Prison, May 1, 2003 for the ‘St. Anger’ video. Before we got inside the Prison, we met with the Warden and he asked us to sign some paperwork that said if any of us were held hostage by the prisoners, the prison would not negotiate with the inmates for our safe release. I was reluctant at first… but James Hetfield stepped right up and signed it! We all followed his lead. The emotion and energy that day was incredible. Many thanks to the Malloy Brothers for bringing me along.”
