Finland's entire population is 5.503 million, which means that one percept of the population, or every hundredth Finn, was watching Metallica play that evening. Continuing their tradition of playing certain songs for the hometown audiences, guitarist Kirk Hammett and bassist Robert Trujillo performed 'Kuuma Kesä' by Popeda as part of their "guitar doodle".
