Why this recording

Released during the Metallica Mondays series in June 2020, a year after the show, the video carries in-house production credits: tour video direction by Gene McAuliffe, audio mix by Geoff Neal and Greg Fidelman. Nearly two and a half hours are chaptered song by song, including non-setlist moments such as Robert Trujillo's intro and Rob and Kirk's “Doodle” at 1:06:23. “St. Anger” and “Lords of Summer”, at 1:13:25 and 2:02:23, sit alongside the band's staples.
