Customer Reviews: Total numer of reviews: 103 Average rating: 4.5 "Great quality!" This concert rocks! They are incredible live, and the superior quality of DVD emphasizes that. Clean and clear, and sounds fantastic with home theater! Definitely well worth "The best musical DVD so far" This DVD has excellent video and sound quality. No VHS tape can ever measure up to it... As for the content, Metallica are excellent as usual, although as an old fan I would have preferred a gig of their golden years (Ride the Lightning/Master of Puppets era), but that kind of technology didn't exist back then :-(. The bonus materials and menus are great, the only let-down is that the boring 2 channel sound is selected by default, and add insult to injury, you have to change to DD5.1 by accessing the menu (my 'audio' button on my remote doesn't work with this DVD)!!! Why this was done so poorly I'll never know... Anyway, I hope that this is the way of the future, every band should watch and follow suit with similar releases! "great footage and sound" One of the best concert videos I have seen. I went to this concert and I can see more on the video. "METAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL!" Cunning Stunts is the finest concert that is ever recorded on any media.The pure,raw energy of Metallica on stage is enough to get an 80 year old on Valium going.The special effects used on stage are the best live concert effects you will ever see,especially the pyrotechnics.They also give their audience an entertaining evening with little "speeches" between several songs.The DVD is also one of the most technologically advanced on the market.By the way,my girlfriend is the one headbanging along with Jason Newstead during Fade To Black.(DISCLAIMER:Any data contained within this review may be slightly untrue/blatant lie) "Fantastic" This set is awesome. It's almost like being there. Especially if you have the system to handle it. I've been to two of there concerts and I've never seen them this close. Excellent DVD's!
