What should I check out for the best or top rated Metallica Live performances?

 

[musicmind]

Live crap : Binge and Purge is a well recorded set, 3 CD's and 2 videos.

There is a website somebody posted recently with many of their live shows available for free download.

 

[mellows]

Don't look further than S&M.

 

[djlemon]

I second what mellows posted on S&M.

Oh and yea, you may want to do a search on youtube and see if you like them before buying

S&M: G Rate, Kids' safe.
Live crap: Rate M+.
Love them all!

More like don't bother with S&M. Terrible setlist, bad arrangement, no Fade to Black, really poor vocals from James. Live crap : Binge and Purge is the one to get, it shows clearly what the band can do at its prime.

S & M is excellent and Cunning Stunts on DVD is excellent as well. I'd love it on CD/vinyl.

Wasnt that the live album where they butchered the Master Of Puppets song though?

There was a very long period where they wouldn't play MoP in its entirity. I saw them live in... '98(?), and they opened with Puppets, got everyone amped, and then stopped half way through. What?

Binge & Purge is still vastly superior to S&M. No Cliff though

. But I like Jason too.

(on a side note... What is with them cutting Cliff and Jason out of all the photos on the new guitar hero. Weak. Those guys helped build the legacy that they sit and leech from now).

I'm pretty sure I was at that show. Sydney goer?

 

[PWilson]

No sir; Brisbane.

Ya I agree some of the songs in S&M aren't as good as they should be. But the addition of the symphony is pretty awesome...

They do on the San Diego set. They do the full song on the Seattle set however. Can't remember on the cds.
