TV Broadcast captured from german satellite tv.
SHOW NOTES:
Originally there was supposed to be a 3-minute long intro video briefly recapping the black album and its tour before the live performance. Unfortunately the intro tape repeatedly crapped out in the original broadcast (you can hear James briefly talk about it at 18:04), so eventually it starts with just the audio intro to \"The Struggle Within\". I tried TWICE to instead upload two different sources to fix this but you can thank the copyright holders for the Rock in Rio and Orion Festival footage of that year for completely blocking those attempts, so we're stuck with the Rock am Ring version.
Also obviously the album originally came out in '91 which would make it 21 years old in 2012 and not 20. But considering the whole album/tour cycle went from 1991-1993, 1992 is right in the middle which makes it an even 20 years.
This was the 12th show celebrating 20 Years of The Black Album.
This was the fifth time that Metallica performed in Nurburgring.
