The Summer Sanitarium Tour was Metallica's packaged tour in the Summer of the year 2000. Taking place in "stadiums, arenas, and yes, even speedways,"[1] the tour was one of the top grossing tours of the Summer. It was also the final tour for long-time bassist Jason Newsted who quit the band in January 2001. Before the gig in Atlanta James Hetfield injured his back in a jet skiing accident and was forced to sit out three shows. Members of all the bands "stepped to the plate to help out Metallica on vocals."[2] At the end of the tour Metallica played six make up shows, two for each show James missed. Three years later, Summer Sanitarium Tour 2003 returned with equal financial success and a different line-up, and was the first tour with current bassist Robert Trujillo.
