 "A MASTERPIECE"I am normally very critical of many of the heavy metal dvds out today. Mainly because of editing and cinematography. This one is a keeper! I would use stronger words, but the Amazon censor police would substitute them with kindergarten words [ ]. I loved the 360 degree stage in the middle of the arena and the "was that real?" theatrics at the end of Enter Sandman. The set list was great. If you are a true metal fan you've got to get this one. It's a little pricey, but worth it. "THIS GAME IS ABSOLOUTLY AMAZING!!!!!"I got this game for christmas and i think it is a wonderful game you get to fight with ghoulies and hounds plus it's very nice!!!!!!!!! i HATE METALLICA "Another killer live DVD set from Metallica!!!!!""CUNNING STUNTS" was the first concert video filmed with the DVD format in mind, and it looks that way, too: great sound and picture, alternate camera angles and loads of special features. Only flaws: splitting the show onto two discs instead of putting the whole show on one (like the VHS version) and not including the video clips from LOAD, RELOAD and GARAGE INC. with the special features. Other than that, a killer concert from Metallica!!!!! "Thanks a lot for your Metallica support."Thank you all for reviewing this DVD. I really appreciate the love the fans have givin us over the years. Hopefully we will have another DVD out soon. Once again I thank you all. To end this in a good note, I have this 5 stars. Yea! ""Metallica Delivers a Great Sounding Set in Texas""This DVD of a "Summer 1997" performance by Metallica, was released in December 1998, some 5 years ago. I own the VHS format, which is nothing, but the 2 hour concert shown in it's entirety. Since this tape captutes the "Load" tour, it features some of that album's core singles, but the guys of Metallica don't shy away from playing selections from their 1980's albums, as well as a few numbers from "The Black Album (1991)." The opener "So What", is a cover song originally recorded in 1981 by some British Heavy Metal group. The heavy rocker "Creeping Death (from "Ride the Lightning")" follows. Most if not all of this video consists of tracks off of 1984's "Ride the Lightning", "Metallica (1991)", and the under-rated "Load (1996)." "Master of Puppets (1986)" is the only track off of that same album, and "One" is the only composition taken from "...And Justice for All (1988)." Of course "Last Caress", "Am I Evil?", and "Seek & Destroy" are performed as encores. I especially dig the "Kill 'Em All/Ride the Lightning" medley, that consists of "Fight Fire with Fire (1984)", and Metallica's first song "Hit the Lights (1981)." This video is a great buy, and the DVD format must be of greater quality, but hey VHS does the trick for me. Fans of early Metallica, the "Black album", and the singles released from "Load", will enjoy every minute of this stellar 1997 concert performance. |
