Metallica recorded live at The Stone in San Francisco on the 18th of September 1982. The line-up for this night was intended to be headlining act Bitch with opening acts Cirith Ungol and locals act Hans Naughty. Cirith Ungol however had transportation problems and had to pull out for days prior so the club called in the heaviest local act they could get which was Metallica. Bitch had played quite a bad gig in San Francisco in June something that got the band a poor reputation so The Stone was only half full this night and most of the crowd that were there were there for the young metal attack act, Metallica. The band entered the stage at 10:30 sharp and immediately slammed into Hit The Lights, the spine cracker The Mechanix and the dark onslaught of Phantom Lord. Their sheer intensity was incredible. Fusing the pile driving madness of Motorhead and Venom with their own insanity, the band devastated with a non-stop, fast and ultra furious set of heavy metal. The superb rhythm section of drummer Lars Ulrich and bass player Ron McGovney set the neck breaking pace while the searing, precise leads of Dave Mustaine and the rhythm work and outrageous vocals by James Hetfield set the mood. Following a chorus of requests, the group ripped into the fiery inferno of Jump In The Fire and then slowed things down to Mach 10 for their love song Motorbreath. Next they showcased a new song entitled No Remorse that shook the dust off the rafters fine. Following was the firestorm that is Seek And Destroy and closing the regular set was the ode to rivitheads everywhere, Metal Militia. The crowd demanded more and were rewarded with fantastic versions of two Diamond Head songs, Am I Evil and The Prince before they had to relinquish the stage to Bitch and here live S&M show. This limited vinyl single features two tracks from this unforgettable night
