This performance was recorded at the Rose Bowl during the Guns N’ Metallica co-headlining tour and featured John Marshall on rhythm guitar as James healed from the pyro accident two months earlier. The show was filmed primarily with house cameras and taken from a VHS tape in Lars’ Vault.

We’re teaming up with The Metallica Black Box to bring back their Black Album Archival Livestreams series! Streaming for free and exclusively for nugs.net subscribers, we’ll be re-airing the ten rare, Wherever We May Roam performances unearthed from the Metallica Vault last year. These aren’t like the professional productions you see today; these original recordings are a true snapshot of the time, including video from Betacam tapes with the occasional camera dropout and raw soundboard audio. All content has been digitally transferred, and audio has been mastered by Reuben Cohen at Lurssen Mastering, but the standard definition charm remains.
