Customer Reviews

Masterpiece
I have watched this concert several times, and it never bores me. This concert is a perfect demonstration of Metallica's talent and philosophy. The energy created by these four artists (particularly Kirk) is apparant, giving an amazing performance of all tracks, but especially "One", "Fade to Black", "Fuel" and "Nothing else matters". The dvd version has exclusive interviews which show Metallica as genuine, fun guys who are extremely passionate and dedicated to their music.
Even if you weren't there, it feels as though you're experiencing the real thing whilst you watch. Obviously, they're brilliantly talented, but it's their charisma that also contributes to the atmosphere created. Overall, a fantastic concert. The only thing I'd suggest, is to buy the dvd as opposed to the vhs, as not only because of the added features, but because I'm noticing the sound on the vhs is fading because of the avid playing. Believe me, avid playing WILL be an issue when you watch this!

Superb concert
Filmed over two nights, this must have been an amazing concert for those lucky enough to have been there - for the rest of us this DVD gives an experience that is an excellent substitute.

Every Metallica song you would expect is on there - even the early material.

The DVD delivers quality sound with 5.1 available and a choice of camera angles on 3 tracks (Ain't My Bitch, For Whom The Bell Tolls and Wherever I May Roam). I don't know why it is only these three and not all of them but it is a good feature never the less if none of the tracks had multiple camera angles.

The extras are pretty good with interviews, behind the scenes footage/making of and subtitles if you feel like singing along if you don't know the words!

As Metallica havenot realeased a 'Best Of' album, this DVD is an excellent introduction to Metallica for newcomers to the band and a must have for the die-hard fan.

Brilliant, but it is a shame the concert is not on one disc and the extras on the other.

THE music/concert DVD
Well, they said it was especially recorded for DVD, a damn, you can tell! Picture and audio quality is excellent, especially with the 5.1 digital, (One and any song with pyro are excellent examples!) Multiple camera angles, although only for a few songs, are really entertaining (just how many faces can Lars pull! )

Then we have the extras! There were some very strange people on that tour, not including the band ;)

This is a really great DVD, with some really great extras, and is highly recommended to anyone. It's a great DVD to show off your new player and Digital Sound System.

The concert itself is pretty good, with a good mix from the old stuff, right up to one song off their 'new' record, like 'way cussing new', ReLoad :)

If you have a DVD and like Metallica, you have not excuse not to have this, even if you already have the video, the extras, sound and picture quality make up for it.
