Although these are rare performances and promise to be great experiences, the band gives a heads-up to fans.
If you remember these shows, you know they weren’t the polished productions you find today. These standard definition recordings come from Betacam tapes with occasional camera dropouts and the audio is direct from the soundboard. But these shows are no longer just a time capsule from the ’90s; they have received some modern upgrades, including a new, extended edit and mastered audio by Reuben Cohen at Lurssen Mastering.
If you can’t tune in to the stream, shows will be available on demand nugs.net subscribers. If you are not a subscriber, you can sign up for a free seven-day trial. It is worth noting that nugs.net, like LiveMetallica.com, contains a huge archive of Metallica concerts from the last 40 years. Get more details here.
