Metallica / Germany, September 14, 1985 – Complete Multi-Cam Edition

The legendary multi-camera pro-shot footage has evolved into a definitive, complete version. This release features the same performance found on the companion CD: the September 14, 1985, Metal Hammer Festival show. It is a multi-camera pro-shot recording—footage that has long been known to fans and famously included in part on the official *Cliff ‘Em All* release. While extended versions combining various sources have circulated among enthusiasts, this release offers the complete full-show experience, longer than any previous version. Although this footage was included on the DVD for the *Ride the Lightning* 30th Anniversary Deluxe Box Set, the official version suffered from an incorrect aspect ratio during the opening four minutes; this release corrects that issue, making it the definitive version. While it remains a “vault discovery” in nature, the quality is undeniably top-tier—fitting for footage deemed worthy of inclusion in an official box set. A unique highlight of this release is seeing the band perform as headliners at night, a stark contrast to the bright, daytime setting of the “Day on the Green” festival. Cliff’s long hair illuminated by the stage lights, and every nuance of the riffs played by James and Kirk, stand out vividly against the darkness. It delivers a powerful visual impact, capturing the raw ferocity that Metallica exuded in 1985. A full show that includes songs missing from previous masters. This footage allows you to witness the scene that unfolded alongside the sonic onslaught heard on the CD. It captures songs that were not included in the official *Cliff ‘Em All* release or previous master recordings. Let’s take a look at the setlist. *Kill ‘Em All* (6 tracks): No Remorse (★) / (Anesthesia) – Pulling Teeth / The Four Horsemen / Seek & Destroy / Whiplash (★★) / Motorbreath (★★) [plus 5 + 2 other tracks] / *Ride the Lightning*: Creeping Death (★) / Ride The Lightning (★) / For Whom The Bell Tolls (★) / Fade to Black / Fight Fire with Fire (★★) / Others: Disposable Heroes / Am I Evil? (★★) *Note: “★” indicates songs not seen in *Cliff ‘Em All*; “★★” indicates songs missing even from previous video masters. This release includes not only “Creeping Death,” “Ride The Lightning,” “For Whom The Bell Tolls,” and “No Remorse”—which were absent from *Cliff ‘Em All*—but also “Whiplash,” “Fight Fire with Fire,” “Am I Evil?,” and “Motorbreath,” which were missing from earlier video masters. This title is an absolute must-see, a piece of cultural heritage. It is the perfect, accessible alternative for those unable to afford the *Ride The Lightning* 30th Anniversary Box Set, which commands a premium five-figure price on the secondhand market.
