Quebec Magnetic

Great audio and video Quality. Nice setlist.

This tour has garnered quite a few live releases, and I have seem them all from Nimes, to Mexico to Sophia and on. I do not detract stars based on set lists, I simply review the product itself, set list is really a matter of opinion. Now down to the bolts: Great picture, viewed on a LG LED 55 inch tv via PS3 and it was amazing, the 5.1 DTS-HD sound was fantastic. I didn't really find the cam views a distraction, nor do I think it was frantic or manic. I've seen frantic filming and I didn't feel this concert had that, there are switches but they aren't anything that detracted from my viewing personally. AC/DC's River release had far faster changes and took some getting used to, but I still didn't feel it detracted from the experience, but again, this is really a personal preference, you'll have to watch to see if it's an issue for you (which you can view on MetallicaTV on youtube, full songs from this release)before purchasing. The extra songs included were a great addition, all of these tracks were voted on by the fans and the inclusion of Shortest Straw is just something of a bear hug, one of my favorites. I also thought their older stuff sounded great, not as slow and chugging as some of their previous performances, I thought they were fast and furious in this show. I would recommend the show to anyone who loved Death Magnetic, these songs shine live. I couldn't find any reason to subtract stars based on the product, the packaging and everything was fine, the price was quite reasonable. Overall 5 stars.

But these guys know how to Rock an audience. And their fans are rabid worldly fanatics that know all the words to every song. Picked up the S&M 2 video after this and they're both great with the latter being a better show with the symphony adding a different twist to that affair, in my opinion. but hey, like I said I'm new to metal mania. What do I know about anything? So, I went and found Cunning Stunts just so I had some old and new Metallica to draw from. These three will give you a good dose of Metallica! Rock On!

Great quality

Instantly the best concert dvd I own! Incredible audio and video, good track list, and a great crowd adds to the experience. Hetfield’s vocals sound as good live as in the studio! Lars drum work is thumping and bumping! Trujillo is easily the best bassist since Cliff Burton! And Kirk Hammett reminds me why he is one of the best guitarist of all time! (Not to mention he looks a little like Lt. Dan from Forrest Gump!) Tour de fricking force!

It’s difficult to properly rate a Metallica DVD. The band has so many of them out there, with some more produced than others. This is one show they waited a while to release, and it is very well done. What I particularly liked was the sound quality. It is very similar to the sound quality of their Nimes 2009 DVD.With so many DVDs to their credit, many of the live songs become repetitive. How many versions of Enter Sandman do you really need? It’s nice that this DVD set has songs like Damage Inc, Shortest Straw, and Killing Time, which don’t appear too often on professional releases. If you like Metallica, you’ll like this DVD. Indeed, if you like a good musical performance to an energized and engaged audience, you’ll also like this.

I've been to dozens of 'tallica shows over the years, and I don't think I can recall a show in which they do NOT play Fade To Black. So that was a little odd.Still a fantastic show, though. Just about all of Death Magnetic, lots of old stuff from the first 5 albums. Probably the best 'tallica live show I've seen put on film. You can see they really spent money to do it right. Really nicely done, and a must for 'tallica fans. Well done, Canada! -TS

I have been a Metallica fan since i was 5 years old as it was 1 of my mom's favorite bands & soon became 1 of my favorites.I own all of their albums as well as all of their lige dvds & concerts,got to see them in concert 2 times when they toured St. Anger & also to tour for Death Magnetic.When i saw this dvd was out i grabbed it for about 5$ including shipping,so how can you go wrong? You can't !The concert is recorded with excellent audio and excellent camera angles in Quebec on Halloween night 2009There set is damn near 2 hours long,the set is loaded with all songs that were chosen online by the fans themselves. The setlist contains 8 out of 10 of the songs from the Death Magnetic album as well as some very old & very classic stapkes in the catalogue of Metallica,spanning their career. 18 songs on disc 1 & 8 tracks as bonus on the 2nd dvd,which also includes band interviews.The 2 sets have lots of classic heavy tracks from all albums except for the St. Anger album as well as Load & Reload,so you get heavy tracks from Kill Em All to the Black album as well as 80% of the Magnetic album(which i enjoyed)The band is super tight,the bass is nice and audible as Robert Trujilio slams away & jumps around like a posessed man thumping that bass with his ringers & no pick,which adds depth.The drums are top notch as well,the toms & snare aren't overly clanky like the St. Anger cd. Kirks playing is spot on as is James as they rip through the tracks with great thrashing.The state & crowd are insane,the encore is great as they come out with masks & a ton of huge black balls fall from the ceiling.Disc 2 has great tracks and great audio just like the initial concert.The only complaint i have is that James voice seems a bit flat,but after nearly 40 years touring & playing the throat is sure to get weakened a bit. Regardless the show is killer,highlights of the show include classics like One,Battery,Master of Puppets as well as rare gems like Sanitarium,Shortest Straw,Whiplash,Breadfan,Four Horsemen & Turn the Page. Not to mention the 8 out of 10 songs from Death Magnetic which to me are the main selling point cuz they are all new tracks which have never been seen on any live dvds before. This is an album for fans & collectors of every age and generation as it is truly a great performance. Go get it !
