The Denver show is part of the band’s ‘WorldWired 2017’ tour to support the band’s new album, ‘Hardwired… To Self-Destruct,’ which was released in November.
The concert resumed at around 10:20 p.m., nearly an hour after it was put on a weather delay.
After a weather delay (rain, thunder & lightning) band came back on stage and jammed a little bit of Ride! Then it was straight into Dead.
