Rare 1988 release. Double album on black vinyls

In 1988, Metallica released their pivotal album … And Justice for All and went from thrash-metal renegades to mainstream stars. But when their manager suggested an arena tour to support the album, the band wasn’t convinced. “I was like, ‘Seriously?'” drummer Lars Ulrich recalls. “We knew we could do L.A., New York, San Francisco, but the American heartland didn’t seem like a great idea. No band as extreme as ours had ever done a full arena tour. So we used Indianapolis as a yardstick. If we were cool there, we were cool almost anywhere. When the tickets went on sale in Indianapolis, we ended up doing 13,000 or 14,000, which in 1988 was an insane victory”. The two month European tour (with Queensryche as support) that was prior to the US gigs had been a major success but the band had a more loyal base in the European audience. This album was recorded at Frolundaborg in Gothenburg, Sweden on the 19th of October 1988 and features a great sound so if youre looking for a good recording from this European tour then this could be a great pick.
