Another gem from the Metallica bootleg world, this A quality boot is on the Master of Puppets tour, and is one of the early gigs featuring Jason Newsted after the death of Cliff Burton.
The band are back on top and at their peak here. Leading off with the title track from the album, this contains the best of their material from their first three albums, and it is just a treat. Hetfield's vocals are superb, his goading of the crowd to join him all the more humorous because I am only listening to him here, and not actually trying to go with him for almost three hours like I did in 1989. Lars and Kirk are of course also superb, while Jason has fitted in nicely, and is already contributing to the backing vocals.
This is just about the best bootleg I have found from this tour, and it is always a joy to put it on and listen to it. Great performances of great material.
Rating: As good as bootlegs can get. 5/5
