Quebec Magnetic

But these guys know how to Rock an audience. And their fans are rabid worldly fanatics that know all the words to every song. Picked up the S&M 2 video after this and they're both great with the latter being a better show with the symphony adding a different twist to that affair, in my opinion. but hey, like I said I'm new to metal mania. What do I know about anything? So, I went and found Cunning Stunts just so I had some old and new Metallica to draw from. These three will give you a good dose of Metallica! Rock On!

This tour has garnered quite a few live releases, and I have seem them all from Nimes, to Mexico to Sophia and on. I do not detract stars based on set lists, I simply review the product itself, set list is really a matter of opinion. Now down to the bolts: Great picture, viewed on a LG LED 55 inch tv via PS3 and it was amazing, the 5.1 DTS-HD sound was fantastic. I didn't really find the cam views a distraction, nor do I think it was frantic or manic. I've seen frantic filming and I didn't feel this concert had that, there are switches but they aren't anything that detracted from my viewing personally. AC/DC's River release had far faster changes and took some getting used to, but I still didn't feel it detracted from the experience, but again, this is really a personal preference, you'll have to watch to see if it's an issue for you (which you can view on MetallicaTV on youtube, full songs from this release)before purchasing. The extra songs included were a great addition, all of these tracks were voted on by the fans and the inclusion of Shortest Straw is just something of a bear hug, one of my favorites. I also thought their older stuff sounded great, not as slow and chugging as some of their previous performances, I thought they were fast and furious in this show. I would recommend the show to anyone who loved Death Magnetic, these songs shine live. I couldn't find any reason to subtract stars based on the product, the packaging and everything was fine, the price was quite reasonable. Overall 5 stars.

I've been to dozens of 'tallica shows over the years, and I don't think I can recall a show in which they do NOT play Fade To Black. So that was a little odd.Still a fantastic show, though. Just about all of Death Magnetic, lots of old stuff from the first 5 albums. Probably the best 'tallica live show I've seen put on film. You can see they really spent money to do it right. Really nicely done, and a must for 'tallica fans. Well done, Canada! -TS

It’s difficult to properly rate a Metallica DVD. The band has so many of them out there, with some more produced than others. This is one show they waited a while to release, and it is very well done. What I particularly liked was the sound quality. It is very similar to the sound quality of their Nimes 2009 DVD.With so many DVDs to their credit, many of the live songs become repetitive. How many versions of Enter Sandman do you really need? It’s nice that this DVD set has songs like Damage Inc, Shortest Straw, and Killing Time, which don’t appear too often on professional releases. If you like Metallica, you’ll like this DVD. Indeed, if you like a good musical performance to an energized and engaged audience, you’ll also like this.

I heard others saying the sound quality wasn't that great, they have bad hearing. That's the only thing I can think of that would give them any reason to give such a review. Although I agree with the older fans (or simply those that love the older Metallica), James just doesn't have the voice for the older, aggressive songs; this is still a great performance by the old guys. Instrumentally, they still have the talent. As for vocals, you're just going to have to get use to the newer sound, James is older and no longer drunk. So no more aggression! YAY! =(((

Instantly the best concert dvd I own! Incredible audio and video, good track list, and a great crowd adds to the experience. Hetfield’s vocals sound as good live as in the studio! Lars drum work is thumping and bumping! Trujillo is easily the best bassist since Cliff Burton! And Kirk Hammett reminds me why he is one of the best guitarist of all time! (Not to mention he looks a little like Lt. Dan from Forrest Gump!) Tour de fricking force!
