Metallica: Blackened (Mountain View, CA - September 15, 1989) 

We will never know what the temperature was at that gig, James wearing a full sleeve shirt, Jason wearing a sleevless shirt, Kirk wearing a jacket, and Lars drumming shirtless

The Justice era was Metallica at their most brutal. Love it.

Holy Flanger

Kirk - leather jacket James - sweatshirt Jason - T-shirt Lars - no shirt

Its only music, but its everything.

wow really resfreshing to see something other then seattle 89 hahaha

for such a dark song kirk looks so happy lmao

Best intro in the history of metal !

Kirks full solo, Lars playing a steady beat, Jason's energy and James' mustache, Metallica was badass

2:27 for me, the best Metallica riff. Made my head bang when i was 9 and now, 30 still can't avoid it. Goosebumps!

Man, where has this awesome footage been for the past 29 years? I'm so glad we're finally seeing this get released! Makes you wonder what other gems they've got locked away in the Metalli-vault :D I'm really hoping for a full "Day On The Green '91" Pro-shot when the black album gets his Deluxe Box Set.

Ahh back when they played the entire song...

Best rendition of Blackened I have ever seen. All 4 at the top if their game. Btw...back up vocals award of the world goes to....Jason

I always love watching vintage Lars . The kit he played , and the ridiculous tempos. Awesome

This is very cool. I was at this show, sitting in maybe the 13th row right side. Faith No More opened and James came out and sang War Pigs with them at the end of their set. I remember how clear they sounded that night. At the end of the show, the guys came down to the front and gave high-fives to the folks in front. Very cool memory for me seeing this today.

Ah the Justice era.. when Metallica was at their peak.. especially in 1989. Beautiful.

Damaged Justice Tour was the best Tour ever. Metallica were so brutal and they created a very special atmosphere through the lights and the Stage Set Up that made the atmosphere unique. And Metallica just was an agressive machine stage - brutal, raw, tight - just phenomenal! Best Tour ever!

I think this is the first time that I see Kirk playing with a leather Jacket......

That's the best outfit i've seen Kirk worn in Metallica History.

Jason repping Vio-Lence with that cut off tee!

The best version of Blackened that i have ever seen

We finallly get to see alot more pure hd live performances from this golden and elusive era... Take my money...

BLACKENED IS THE END

HE PLAYED THE WHOLE SOLO OH MY GOD THATS RARE

They need to sell that shirt James is wearing again!!

Old-school Metallica, justice tour... Perfection in metal

3:54 is so dope and melodic. Kept replaying it over and over 🎼🎶🔊🔥🔥🔥

6:04 BEST DARKEST POTENCY I´VE EVER HEARD, HOLY SHIT THAT POWER

Why the camera was not on Kirk during the solo. He nailed it

FIRE!!! Jason backing vocals is strong.

I like this direct way of filming a whole lot more, without camera angles switching every half second and with some kind of movie filter over it. Seattle is still fun to watch though, but San Diego is almost unwatchable for me with that effect. But this footage gives me more of an experience of being there than Seattle and San Diego. Judging by the camera angles, they look pretty identical to Seattle's. Maybe they filmed a couple of gigs and chose the best one?

This Metallica album showed Lars' true drumming skills.

Okay now i am pissed. Why are you keeping these precious footages in your vault?

mann not to hate on Kirk but he was at his prime here... that solo was pretty flawless...

Been a Metallica fan for 30+ years. Love this vintage stuff as well as the new stuff....I am such a huge fan, i want to have Fade to Black played at my funeral

kirk is having an absolute joyride with this song

Just when you thought you have seen it all they drop something rare as fuck. This is that small window of time where they were headlining arenas, yet outside of the Seattle 89 video there is not much in terms of high quality pro-video. I hope they release this entire show.

Pamiętam lata 80...W podstawówce wszyscy słuchaliśmy Metalliki....Był ogień.

I love this song

うお〜89年だ‼‼ しかも Blackened だ‼‼ 嬉し過ぎる❤

1:15 Never seen Kirk this happy.. 🤔

1:46 Oops :D

Jason & Kirk with undercut.....So underground, so brutal, so live, so metal...

I read the title and was like “awwwwwwwwwww YEEAAAAH”

James is dressed similar to how he often seemed to dress during the TBA tour! That's cool and a bit of a mindfuck.

Best live performance of this song in my opinion. Kirk nailed that solo!

Cannot wait for this box set to arrive! Pure gold.

the fact that this concert was dated in September 15 which is my bday makes it really special for me

THIS is METALLICA!

At their absolute peak here...And Justice For All what a masterpiece.

Classic Metallica...Such Ferocity, Power, and Unrelenting!!

Back when they were still trying to prove themselves. Kirk and Lars were still giving their best effort every night and could/would both play their parts off the albums. This era of live performance is their best. Hands down.

Can’t wait to put my hands on this deluxe box set! \m/

They were the biggest powerhouse steamrolling through any and every thing at this time period. There was no one stopping METALLICA 🤘🏼🤘🏼

That guitar sound is freaking awesome. Love this shredded version. METALLICA 4ever🤘🎸

Im a massive metallica fan but this is the best metallica era hands down and if you disagree im sorry your delusional. The raw power this band had at this time is unbelievable.

That 8-bit guitar sound, tho 😂

5:30 When you are editing a concert video, know nothing about the band and think that any guy singing is the vocalist.

God they were untouchable back then. Just goes to show you that time fucks everyone in the end. I still love all eras of this band and I’ll always support them.

They were untouchable in the 80's.

I own the shirt James is wearing here :) Bought it in London, during an "Inter Rail" on the summer of 1990.

James voice in 1989 was perfection.

Amazing Jason's Voice...!!

this is gold

Man I saw the date and I clicked it even faster! Love Metallica! 🤘

God damn this is awesome, they need to release the entire show!

That intro is one of the coolest things i have ever heard !

The way Jason screams “FIRE!” is so fucking metal man.

EET FUKK!!

Que buena época de Metallica,sin duda cualquier amante del thrash quisiera poder verlos en esa época..

Man so much energy! I love how they just had and still do have fun playing! I love how the energy drives them and technique is just second. Now days everything is so technical!

Jason sporting a Vio-Lence sleeveless shirt! The guy really knew the American thrash scene inside out.

What a voice goddamit

Playing the whole song, Kirk wearing a leather jacket, These are rare moments in Metallica

It's anyone else amazed by just how fucking amazing the quality this video is? Man...

And justice tour was the first concert I ever went to. This is also my favorite Metallica song. They were in their prime here. Best band ever

Awesome!!! This is like Seattle 1989!!! Great job!

Вот Metallica рубят с 80-х годов молодцы! Красавчики полные стадионы всегда! Легенды металла музон отрыв башки! 😱

It's been 31 years exactly and this is still one of their best live performances, they were truly at the top of their game in 89.

even after a year and a half of not stop touring they delivered a fucking enormous power. So great

When he screamed "Darkest potency" I felt that.

Golden age... But Metallica is like a wine ;)

Long time dude ; freaking time just blow my mind ; miss that time love Metallica and my place Mountain View lml .

Love Jason 🤘 🤘 🤘

Mistakes aside, these guys were on fire this day. I'll take the mistakes with this kind of energy every time!. Stoked to be playing at home. Maybe some extracurriculars too ;)

yo! i want james' shirt! that black long sleeve with metallica along the sleeve... hell yeah!

the intro in live is like a dream

Man this videos of a couple of youngs enjoying the music just make me happy, is seeing videos like this you know Metallica is something special for metal

02:44 how the f can u skip that godly headbang mr f cameraman!?!?!

Metallica Forever 🔥 Amazing Cool Song 🔝

This my favorite song from Metallica. Always make me happy

Every time I listen to this song, always impressed by the intro. It sounds like metal national anthem. Best metal intro ever written
