"You kidding me? The best video and sound quality, Different audio tracks (one with the symphony orchestra and one without), different camera angles, a feature where you can select which band member you can focus on throughout a song, backstage footage, 2 new songs" OK, so he was trying to sell me the product but you gotta admit, at that time when VHS was still king but slowly coming to it's demise, that was impressive. I remember going into a small record store around June 2000 and seeing the - then shiny and new - DVD on the shelf and asking the store clerk if it was any good. My favourite tracks: Call of Ktulu, Master of Puppets, No Leaf Clover, One and Battery. But for what it is, it was a bold experiment that worked out well in the end.

By all means, it isn't completely perfect as certain Metallica songs (like Orion, My Friend of Misery, Unforgiven or Fade to Black) that didn't make the setlist would've been far suited than Fuel and Enter Sandman. In my opinion, for the majority of the songs, I thought the orchestra instrumental complimented Metallica's classics very well and, to some extent, breathed new life into them. Released way back in 1999 on CD and DVD, Metallica's second live album "S&M" (Symphony & Metallica) brought forward an intriguing - and to some, controversial - concept that collided their feriously loud tracks with the delicate orchestral sounds delivered by the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra.
