The best live album from the "BLACK ALBUM" era has become more affordable and is being reissued! This work is an audience album of "June 7, 1994 Allentown Performance". Wait a minute! Now, aren't you thinking, "'BLACK ALBUM' & audience? Okay then?" No, no, I completely understand how you feel. After all, during the "BLACK ALBUM" era, there were plenty of powerful soundboards and professional shots, including the official "LIVE SHIT: BINGE & PURGE". It is no wonder that you are thinking, “I can’t do audience recording now…”. Although we are very aware of that, this work is one that is worth introducing to everyone again even if it is reissued. Before we explain the details, let's first look back at the overview of the "BLACK ALBUM" era. After all, this era is long and there are many tour names. Even if you are a real timer, this was over 20 years ago, so let's summarize it here. WHEREVER WE MAY ROAM TOUR #1 → August 1991-July 1992: 162 performances GUNS N' ROSES/METALLICA STADIUM TOUR → July-October 1992: 25 performances (North America) WHEREVER WE MAY ROAM TOUR #2 → October-December 1992: 36 performances (Europe) NOWHERE ELSE TO ROAM TOUR →January-July 1993: 77 performances SHIT HITS THE SHEDS TOUR →May-August 1994: 51 performances (North America)... So, to summarize it easily, it looks like this. I've reduced it to just 10 lines, but the contents are a total of 351 performances over 3 years and 20 days. It goes beyond the level of a promotional tour for one album. For example, a first-year high school student who ran out to buy ``BLACK ALBUM'' with excitement turned into a college student by the time the tour ended. During that time, it's like staying in a baseball club that plays one game every three days. I think you can really feel the scale and severity of this. After experiencing such long periods and hard labor, there is no way that a sensitive artist would not change. Even though they play the same songs at the beginning and end of the tour, they are completely different. This work is the end of such a long "BLACK ALBUM" era. It is a live album from an era that cannot be enjoyed even with “LIVE SHIT”. If you're thinking, "WOODSTOCK 94 exists," you're an expert. Indeed, WOODSTOCK 94 is a professional shot representing the end of the tour, but unfortunately it was a short set for the festival. By the way, Middletown's soundboard can be downloaded for free at livemetallica.com, but the beginning and end of the show were missing. On the other hand, this work is a complete full rice album. You can also listen to “Welcome Home (Sanitarium),” “The God That Failed,” “Kill / Ride Medley,” and “Disposable Heroes,” which were missing from WOODSTOCK 94, as well as “Breadfan” and “So What!,” which were missing from Middletown SBD. It is a complete recording board that has been perfectly recorded. “No matter how full it is, is it an audience?”…The last question is this. Yes, that's right. but! The quality of this work is so high that you can't believe it was an audience recording. Even after listening to it for 22 years knowing it was an audience recording, it still sounds like a soundboard. It also seems like a carefully mixed broadcast sound source. The edge of each instrument, the clear sound, the direct feeling with zero sense of distance, the subdued cheers with a sense of scale... everything is perfect. In fact, even if it is a recording from the audience seats, when listening to it, it is the best sound of the best, no different from the broadcast sound source. Even to ears accustomed to modern digital recording, recordings like this are hard to come by. “1994” is depicted with that quality. This is also indescribably good. While lining up all the intense metal songs from "KILL 'EM ALL" to "BLACK ALBUM," the ensemble is very dynamic and leans heavily toward "LOAD." I don't want to discuss the pros and cons of ``LOAD'' here, but I wonder what would have happened if the groove and dynamism of that album had remained the same, but the songs were full of super metal masterpieces... This work is full of answers. As expected, the historically rare medley ``Kill / Ride Medley'' still makes me smile, but the special songs such as ``Whiplash,'' ``Seek and Destroy,'' ``Creeping Death,'' and ``Fade to Black'' are properly performed in a separate frame. . In any case, it was an unprecedented success in rock history, and the state they reached after three years of gigantic touring. What kind of strong team would it be if the regulars of a strong school's baseball team played "one game every three days" without even retiring? That's the live performance of this work, the metal that goes as far as it can go. At the time, people said he had become "loose" and "slutty," but this was all due to the dynamism and home run power that came from playing against tens of thousands of people in gigantic stadiums hundreds of times. This is “the biggest metal live in history.” A full live album where you can enjoy it completely. A state that only METALLICA has had a glimpse of, something that no human race has ever experienced.
