Metallica Share Live 'Blackened' Clip from 1989
The performance will appear on the upcoming '...And Justice for All' deluxe reissue.
Metallica recently announced a 30th anniversary re-release of their 1988 album ...And Justice For All, which will be issued on November 2 on the band's own Blackened Recordings.
In the run-up to the release of deluxe set, the band revealed on their official Twitter account that they’re going to be posting rare live videos of every Justice track.
They kicked things off with an almost 30-year-old camcorder-shot clip of “Eye of the Beholder,” taken from a December 10th, 1988, show at the Cow Palace in San Francisco.
Now, they've shared a second video, this one of "Blackened," the ...And Justice For All leadoff track, recorded at Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View, California, on September 15, 1989.
You can watch the "Blackened" clip above.
