Description
In the summer of 1989, Metallica stormed into Dallas at the height of their And Justice for All world tour and unleashed a night of pure thrash-metal fury. Homespun brings you this live radio broadcast from Z-Rock FM radio, capturing the band in their most ferocious era--fast, loud and absolutely unrelenting. Newly remastered this release delivers the raw power and precision that turned Metallica from underground heroes into global heavyweights.
James Hetfield's signature bark drives the crowd into a frenzy while his and Kirk Hammett's twin-guitar assault cuts like sharpened steel. Lars Ulrich hammers the drums with relentless force, and Jason Newsted's thunderous bass locks it all into a machine-tight groove. Together, the classic line-up creates a sonic onslaught that remains a benchmark for live heavy metal.
The setlist is a masterclass in late-'80s Metallica: the politically charged epic ...And Justice for All, the pummelling Harvester of Sorrow, the breakneck Battery, plus fan-favourite Seek & Destroy--each delivered with a ferocity that only a stadium-sized Texas crowd could inspire.
More than a concert, Dallas, Texas 1989 is a time capsule from a pivotal moment in the band's history--when Metallica's underground thrash roots collided with the massive audiences that would soon crown them kings of metal. Whether you're a lifelong fan or a newcomer eager to experience the band's formative live firepower, this album is the ultimate front-row ticket to Metallica at their most uncompromising.
Crank the volume and relive the night when Metallica proved, once and for all, that heavy metal could conquer the world--one ear-shattering riff at a time.
