History was made on September 27, 2016 when Metallica began to introduce Hardwired…To Self-Destruct live at New York City’s Webster Hall including their first live performance of “Moth into Flame.” Not only was it an evening to celebrate their upcoming release, it also marked the thirtieth anniversary of bassist Cliff Burton’s death. Many fans did whatever they could to attend the iconic event. Whether it was waiting on the “loser line,” staying for at least three songs with a photography pass, paying the excessive scalper fee, or sitting outside listening in on the streets; it was one memorable night and we were lucky enough to be there. Today, just ten days before they embark their long-overdue North American tour, the legends announced a special 3 LP release of this live event.
Metallica shared the following:
“As we get ready to hit the road and kick off the North American tour, we thought it might be cool to revisit the very beginning of Hardwired… by pressing one of the live release celebrations on vinyl. It all started with the Fifth Member show at Webster Hall in New York City in September of last year, so this Friday, May 5th the three LP set of that show will be available exclusively online here at Metallica.com as well as in our pop-up stores in select tour cities this summer (more on that soon!). Pre-order your copy now by clicking here.
A few details: Newly mastered for vinyl and mixed by the team that brought you Hardwired…To Self-Destruct, the three-disc limited edition package is pressed on 140-gram vinyl and includes the digital download of the show as well. The set list includes the first ever live performance of “Moth Into Flame” along with 14 other tracks played at the historic theater.”
