Metallica 30th Anniversary Show Part 1

Hard to believe it's been 30 years since Metallica started melting faces off, but they recently had their 30th anniversary shows in San Francisco for fan club members only. Actually I've only been a fan of the band for 27 years but it feels like 30 for me too I guess. They've just released a 27-minute long recap of sorts of the 1st show of 4 and I've posted it below. I wish I could have been there, but I also wish I'd win the lottery and that ain't workin' out for me either. So I guess a video will have to do for now... but I'm hopefully there will be a DVD release of some sort.

The set included a salute to Cliff Burton's dad and appearances by Apocalyptica, Jason Newstead and Biff Byford (Saxon!!!!). They played 21 songs including the previously unreleased track "Hate Train" off the Death Magnetic sessions. So watch this, I insist! I've posted the full setlist I found for it below the vid.
