Hello?
Customer Rating:      Summary: Unique Musical Experiment Comment: The key to a band's ultimate survival lies in its ability to do new things. Metallica is one of those bands that is willing to take chances: first with their music and secondly with how that music is presented to its fans. You may not always like the music but it's never boring.
In April 1999 the band played two shows at the Berkeley Community Theatre with Michael Kamen conducting the San Francisco Symphony. The nights were a mix of heavy metal styling joined to classical music. The strange and amazing thing was that the band actually pulled it off quite well.
The shows were performed on a stripped down stage with little background except a screen and some lighting effects. The music was a good representation of the band's music up to that point in its career. In 2.5 hours most of the band's catalogue was showcased. Standout performances included Master of Puppets,Fuel, No Leaf Clover, Sad But True and the ever popular Enter Sandman. The orchestra enhanced the performance by giving the songs a new sonic depth.
The dis has some issues: first the concert is spread over two DVDs. The show could have been conveniently placed on one disc. The sound mix (newly remastered in 5.1 Surround) has a sort of tinny feel at times that was not noticible in the Dolby 2.0 mix that was available on the source video tapes. The extra features include a 40 minute making of documentary and four songs presented with multiple camara angles.
This one is worth checking out.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Amazing Comment: Five-stars product. I love it, I recomended Amazon to anyone who likes to buy by Internet. The only problem that I don't like is the time that the post office takes to send the product. For anything else, all is good. Thanks Amazon.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Amazing Comment: Even though it's been almost 10 years since this was made, it still manages to send chills down my spine. "Fuel" and "Master of Puppets" are my favorites on here.
Customer Rating:      Summary: One of the rare instances where the juxtaposition of rock and classical works Comment: If you're on the fence about buying your first Metallica album, check out "S&M." It serves as the closest thing they've done to a greatest hits album, and the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra (conducted by the esteemed Michael Kamen) adds a very nice level of depth to the songs. This is also the only album where you can find the songs "- Human" and "No Leaf Clover." The band touches on all its previous albums with the exception of "Kill 'Em All," playing staples like "Enter Sandman" and "One" but also throwing in songs like "Bleeding Me" off of "Load" and "The Call of Ktulu" off of "Ride the Lightning." The DVD is shot in a very good quality, although the camera angles are fairly standard. The lighting effects were done very well, though.

Metallica, never resting, never ceasing to innovate or amaze, returns with an extraordinary document of their concert with the San Francisco Symphony. Metallica's select favorites unfold like never before with the eloquent symphonic backing; they have never sounded more powerful or dramatic. The performance includes two new songs--"No Leaf Clover" and "Human."
