I miss the days when James Hetfield would bark out the lines to this song like it was the last time he was going to sing. Though I hate Hetfields voice these days he sounds really good here, as does the rest of the band. I also understand that Helfield knows that he needs to take care of his vocals and that’s probably the reason he sings the way he does these days. At least he has Trujillo to bark out the backing vocals.

This is also the first time Metallica has performed this song live in over 12 years. You can download the entire concert as well as other at livemetallica.com. It’s not free like some of the older downloads though. One cool thing is that they provide you with cover art that you can download and make your own bootleg, so to speak.
