A Symphony of Metal

If you enjoy metal, heavy rock, or Bach or Beethoven, give it a listen. Don't want to shell out the $$ without being sure of what you're getting into?
Look up Metallica S&M on YouTube and you can get a decent taste of the DVD... no where near the quality in sound or video, but a taste.
I've awaited the DVD release of this tour for years, don't ask why it took me a decade, it just did.
Maybe I wanted the quality of the remastered edition, and of course the price at about what a new DVD movie release costs is a long ways from initial costs.
For this you get two DVD's each crammed with full length, 2 1/2 hours of uninterrupted footage of the concert, with a full four tracks, giving hours of angles, alternate footage and so on.
Add special edition songs to special features including sub-titles, camera angles, multiple speaker setup options (Including full Dolby 5.1), interviews, ... it's well worth the money.
The variety of songs is excellent, ranging from the then-new release no-leaf clover back to 'Call of Ktulu' and fav's such as 'Nothing Else Matters', 'For Whom the Bell Tolls' and (mine) 'Wherever I May Roam'.
The songs are usually around eight minutes, lots of energy, some great shots of all the band and the various symphony members, especiall the Conductor.
Finally, add an internet connection and you have interactive content!
You will need a DVD codec if you want to use it with your PC, which should have come with your DVD drive anyways. (PC DVD-ROM or DVD+/-RW, Home DVD Players will have no trouble)
This is a Region 1 DVD, so it's only going to work on Region 1 (USA) DVD players...
