It's a pity that they don't play Ain't My Bitch live anymore. It's such a great song in a live setting. I also wish that they'd go back to playing King Nothing this way (with a jam during the breakdown) because it just makes it that much more enjoyable to listen too.

I was in the front row right in the middle of the stage for this. One of the best moments of my life!

I love it when James gets in the Zone for that Solo build up in Nothing Else Matters - so fuckn powerful

I just heard Hetfield on Joe Rogan this week. It's odd to think about what he was experiencing during this time in his life -- addiction, wife throwing him out of the house, and sometimes total meltdown on his part. He said that too many times the playing of the music was secondary to the various perks of the road -- women, restaurants, strip bars, drugs, alcohol. Now he says he relishes the time on stage. He sounded a hell of a lot more grounded as a person. That can be bad for the art, but when I listen to Hardwired, I think, yeah I'm glad he got sober. There is no way we would have Death Magnetic or Hardwired if Hetfield kept going down that road. NO way. An addicted rock star with family meltdown is not good for the art. Not in the 40s and 50s.

45:35 when the acid kicks in

Damn, I miss Jason. His backing vocals were really amazing. Especially the vocal harmonies with James. And he could project. Hearing Rob or Kirk attempt backing vocals is just so sad.

8:55 that was really cool.

22:00 james screaming. :p

7:03 action-packed shot, man. I'm out of breath here.

King Nothing was awesome

No fuckin cell phones !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This has to be the first show I've seen where Kirk's tone is better than James'.

I was at this gig, they weren't quite on top form but even a wobbly Metallica destroys most bands!

David Blaine on lead guitar

They're sooooo on point here. Today's bands don't have that raw attitude

Nothing Else Matters intro is too slow, love it, also James eruct at 57:18

Reading 97 was my first concert! and this is golden era Metallica for me - Load is still my fave album of theirs and here we get drunk and foul mouthed Hetfield, hyperactive Lars, and JASON NEWSTEAD! great set too.

one week before that concert James got married with Francesca. 17.08.1997

one of the greatest concerts ive been too great weekend all round. brings back drunk memories.

JASONS BACKING VOCALS ON UNTIL IT SLEEPS YES

I loved this concert. great weekend. Jason was especially cool that night. ah......20 years ago! Memories.......thanks for the upload, man. ;)

Jason! Jason! Jason!

22:04 what a legend

That's the show for those who love Load/Reload, like myself. And the general vibes of that time.

Thank You for work.

NICE light show on Hero. one of the best Tallica shows of the 90s so far.

I was at this show, 17 and drunk, watching Metallica for the first time

I saw them in 92, 96 In Manchester and I was at this gig, right at the front. Up til then, I said this was my favourite time seeing them, they were fucking brilliant. Saw them another 9 times, until Manchester 2 weeks ago, which is NOW my all time favourite gig

I saw this gig in '97 and it was awesome beyond belief to me. I hadn't listened to them for a good few years but I've listened to them ever since \m/

Metallica is the best Band Ever! No Matter What!

제임스 존나 멋지다ㅠㅠ. ..............love load/reload era... ......thanks for share this video ....thanks

Was there :) Cheers man!

I love you Metallica,James !!!

1996/1997 are very underrated for metallica in terms of live shows

I believe that somewhere in the world, there are people who feel the same emotions that I feel when I listen to masterpieces like this song.

Miss you jason

4:26 - 4:40 the art of stir up the masses.

Man they absolutely killed Stone Cold Crazy!

For fucks sake! i can't believe that people complains about James swearing! Damn

Thank you for the Metallica Video Greetings for Germany Danke Schoen

Я очень хорошо помню этот концерт, его показывали ночью по ТВ, а я записывал на VHS. Какой же кайф!!! Спасибо, что с таким классным звуком!!! Ауфффф!!!

*Металлику я б любила только за то , что она исполнила «ONE» ... Но она исполнила так много композиций , так много сыграла и спела ! ОГРОМНОЕ СПАСИБО ВАМ , БЛАГОДАРЮ ВАС ДОРОГИЕ , ПРЕКРАСНЫЕ ! МОЁ ВОСХИЩЕНИЕ , УВАЖЕНИЕ , БЛАГОДАРЕНИЕ* !

I love this show

Damn, that's a pretty strong setlist!

The best LIVE I've ever seen for Metallica, not only this, but it also shows me the real them... The Real Once in a Life Time METALLICA- FOREVER MORE

love this metallica era, lml

BRING BACK JASON!!! 🤘🤘

Newsted+ Metallica=OTHER LEVEL 🤘👹

22:05 James Hetfield's got screw up

back in the days when metallica still rocked and people knew how to enjoy concert...too bad I was only 6 years old. Nowadays it seems like world is so much purified and people are so demented by technology. but thanks to youtube, I can go back in time and throw nowadays reality fucking away!

Memories I was there awesome

Wow this has got to be one of the greatest set lists they've ever done. Mixing a little from all their albums. Almost a greatest hits set. I can think of a few more songs I would've added but I'm sure time played a factor for them

Not sellouts. Just innovative

this concert was clickbait there were no books

i really love them here, i feel is really unique to listen to them this way, so untight and all but it´s not bad, at least for 2021 me that can listen to it in my home, probably if i went there i would be disapointed

Killer ass guitar tone!!!!

I was at this show. Spotted myself in the crowd picture in Kerrang during Feeder. Still have my Reading 97 tshirt, although it has seem better days.

How time flies , omg.. Looks like kids

angry james is the best james!!

Great!!!

Until It Sleeps!!!!

Did he burp at the start of Nothing Else Matters?

22:04

Lol at Jason about to say "Stone Cold Crazy' at 1:11:26 but then he realized the crowd was gonna do it for him.

It’s crazy how much different they all looked in 97 compared to 94

the chills... 58:36

I always loved that Nitro-flame "V" James had during this era. Never saw it after this tour either... probably buried in a case in his house somewhere.

i sat back and prepared myself to enjoy when i heard at start "no remorse" but then they started "so what" - ok, thinking to myself, i'll keep watching- and then WHAM! maaaaaaaster!!! great. i enjoyed. waiting for jaymz: "kirk, come in'!" - and when they started "king nothing" i left.. i need cure for my ears.. im goinig to listen dave, adrian & janick - when they promise solos, they do the solos!

8:20 - Looks like some inner ear monitor issues. Bass comes in out of sync with Lars' hats. Pulled it back together (as you do)

that transition into Nothing was EPIC

I was there man

How many of u kinda laugh or smile when James says bitch in mic over and over

So sick

yo tengo ese dvd es genial

Load era ❤

metallica una de las mejores bandas de los 4 grandes del trash metal

MOTORBREATH FUCK YEAH!!!

Kirk hammeth looks so funny in short hair lol

1:10:19 sabbath bloody sabbath

We miss you Jason...

NIce to see something different from Seek and Destroy in the end of set-list =)

holy sheeyt

READINGGGGG, METALLLLLLICCAAAAAAAA, READINGGGGGGGGG, METAAAAALLLLLICCCCCAAAAAAA ? SO FUCKING WHAT !!!!!!! LOVE IT !

I haven't been in Reading but I ve been Maidenhead 4 times , gg.. It was cool?))) Pavel Pogrebnyak forever !!! ( Hello from Russia) ))

4:26 Loved 90's James!

I think kirks guitar goes out righ at the end of solo in For whom the bell tolls, and never comes back, but for some reason he can hear himself on the monitors but the in Whatever i may roam we can only hear James guitar troughout the whole song, James even notices and makes a remark to Lars right at the start of the song!

Did Kirk forget the Fuel solo? :D so rad man!!!

forgot to list Last Caress

Kurts been going bald for as long as I can remember, but never fully loses it. That's strange as shit.

holy shit

Nobody replaced Cliff!!!

Is the logo on James's shirt the same as Kirk tattoo?

22:04 that voice crack was hilarious 😂

It's shows like this that male me think that 'The struggle within' is about James's liver...

👍👍

22:04 My Favorite Part

How fucking short is kirks hair?

Fucking badass James
