Another concert album, which means over two hours of Metallica. Either music was really dreadful in 1999, or the List is choosing to punish me for getting this far. It's like a final level in a video game, where you have to defeat all the enemies you've had along the way. I thought we were done with Metallica but I guess not.

Metallica is accompanied by an orchestra for this concert. It felt like they called it a day after the first few tracks, and I forgot all about them until the band acknowledged them at the end. I don't really like recordings of concerts anyway, unless it's part of a larger story, like how you could hear people heckling Bob Dylan.

Avoid if possible. Make it possible.

RATING: 2/5
