Metallica/Belgium 1984

After the release of their debut album “KILL ‘EM ALL”, the band’s first European tour in 1984, the appearance at the “Heavy Sound Festival” held in Belgium on June 10th, is recorded in complete form by the recently unearthed New Audience Master. The recording, which had been circulating among some fans as the band’s earliest full live recording, was discovered this time as a separate recording, and although there are some problems with the sound balance, the sound recorded by the people involved on the stage side is at the soundboard level at first listen, and can be considered to be of the same quality as the live recording recorded in the official “KILL ‘EM ALL” box set. The live performance was the same as after this, starting with “The Ecstasy Of Gold”, followed by a parade of songs from their debut album, and then “Ride The Lightning” from their second album, which was released later, and then the final song “Whiplash”, which was a huge explosion, and the excitement was overwhelming, and the atmosphere was recreated exactly as it was at the venue, making this a must-listen for fans. 1.
