It’s been just over four decades since Metallica set off on their first full national tour of the US – 1983’s Kill 'Em All For One tour supporting British metallers Raven. In that time they’ve played thousands of shows worldwide, becoming the first band to perform on all seven continents (with a 2013 show at an Antarctic research base dubbed Freeze ‘Em All completing the set) in the process.
As the thrash progenitors evolved into the biggest metal band on the planet, they captured quite a few of their increasingly epic tours and shows for posterity. These days you can access dozens of official streams of ‘Tallica shows from many different eras and locations, but they also put out a number of standalone live films on formats ranging from VHS and DVD to downloads and even theatrical releases at the cinema.
