Product Description

Metallica, the legendary thrash metal band, unleashed a groundbreaking live album in 1999 titled "S&M". This monumental recording captures the essence of Metallica's raw power and musical prowess, backed by the San Francisco Symphony, conducted by Michael Kamen. The album is a thrilling fusion of heavy metal and classical orchestration, offering a unique and captivating listening experience.

"S&M" spans a staggering 2 hours and 13 minutes, featuring 20 tracks that showcase Metallica's iconic hits and fan favorites. From the thunderous opener "The Ecstasy of Gold" to the hauntingly beautiful "Nothing Else Matters," each song is reimagined with the symphonic accompaniment, adding a new dimension to the band's signature sound. The setlist includes classics like "Master of Puppets," "One," "Enter Sandman," and "Battery," demonstrating the band's enduring influence and musical versatility.

Recorded on April 21 and 22, 1999, at the Berkeley Community Theatre in California, "S&M" is a testament to Metallica's innovative spirit and their ability to push the boundaries of their genre. The collaboration with the San Francisco Symphony elevates the live performance to new heights, creating a dynamic and immersive soundscape that highlights the complexity and depth of Metallica's compositions.

The album was released under Blackened Recordings and Universal Music, solidifying its place in the annals of metal history. "S&M" is not just a live album; it's a testament to Metallica's artistic evolution and their commitment to delivering unforgettable musical experiences. Whether you're a long-time fan or a newcomer to their music, "S&M" offers a compelling journey through the world of Metallica, showcasing their unparalleled talent and the enduring power of their music.

  • Missing Inner Sheet

    5 out of 5 stars
    vapets12 December 2025United States🇺🇸

    Hi there! I received my copy, but it only has the first inner sheet. If anyone could scan the second one in high resolution and email it to me, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks a bunch!

  • Blackened Pressing Quality Issues

    4 out of 5 stars
    Hmarch8031 October 2025United States🇺🇸

    This Blackened pressing is a bit of a gamble. I've come across numerous reports from other listeners who've found issues with their copies. My first one had awful pops on sides 3 and 6, right in the middle of Hero of the Day, Bleeding Me, and One! Swapped it for another, and this time, not a single flaw. *shrugs* The sound is rich, bass-heavy, and if you're using decent gear, you'll definitely notice the orchestra blends seamlessly with the band when it's needed. *edit* I celebrated too soon. One on side 6 is still a popping, skipping disaster! Even Enter Sandman was rough. At least Battery is perfect…

  • Great Album, Flawed Intro

    5 out of 5 stars
    pedimoyet21 October 2025United States🇺🇸

    Well done, except for the first track on side one, it's trash, that Ecstacy of Gold Intro. Not the whole song, just the first 30/40 seconds or so. The pressing on my copy is definitely messed up, you can see it. The rest of the record is fantastic.

  • Avoid This Shortened Album

    3 out of 5 stars
    omotatsae16 October 2025United States🇺🇸

    Shortened (missing "Of Wolf and Man," "One," and "Outlaw Torn"-- three standout tracks on this album-- plus others), and the audio quality's pretty damn muddy. For a collector, it's best to steer clear.

  • Orchestral Metal Masterpiece

    5 out of 5 stars
    Jiajzfuz9 September 2025United States🇺🇸

    In my view, this is one of the greatest albums I've ever listened to. Perhaps the finest blend of orchestra and metal. The pressing is superb, with crystal-clear sound. It's a must-hear for everyone.
