The Copa Room transforms into a time capsule for an evening dedicated to the heavy metal anthems that defined 1983. This was a pivotal year for metal, when bands were pushing boundaries between traditional heavy metal, the emerging thrash scene, and the glam-influenced sounds that would dominate the mid-80s. The setlist pulls from an era that gave us some of the genre's most enduring albums and singles, from the raw energy of early speed metal to the more polished arena rock sounds.

Expect to hear cuts from albums like Metallica's "Kill 'Em All," Def Leppard's "Pyromania," and Quiet Riot's "Metal Health," alongside deeper tracks from bands like Dio, Iron Maiden, and Mötley Crüe. The Copa Room's intimate setting offers a different kind of energy than the massive arenas where many of these songs were originally performed, creating a more direct connection between the musicians and the crowd. It's a celebration of leather, denim, power chords, and the year that helped set the template for metal's explosive growth throughout the rest of the decade.
