From 77 to 1

As described in this article, a talented video editor assembled 77 videos that were posted on youtube.com into a single video of the Metallica concert. Of course, that concert was on Saturday, August 20, 2016, in Minneapolis, MN.

I barely know anything about writing well and I sure as hell don't know the FIRST thing about creating a video like this.



For future reference, here are where the individual songs are in the video above:

1:55 Creeping Death
8:29 For Whom The Bell Tolls
13:17 Fuel
18:04 King Nothing
24:06 The Memory Remains
29:17 The Unforgiven
37:17 Leper Messiah
43:00 Kirk Solo #1
45:11 Welcome Home (Sanitarium)
53:13 Sad But True
58:55 Rob Solo
1:00:44 Wherever I May Roam
1:07:25 One
1:15:49 Master of Puppets
1:25:32 Battery
1:30:06 Kirk Solo #2
1:33:11 Fade To Black
1:42:17 Seek And Destroy

1:50:13 Hardwired
1:54:20 Whiskey In The Jar
2:00:15 Nothing Else Matters
2:06:12 Enter Sandman

I haven't taken the time to watch the entire video but I've skipped around to a few places. I really like that they played "Leper Messiah" and, perhaps in the minority, I would be perfectly fine if "Nothing Else Matters" fell off the set list. Seriously, I would be okay with never hearing that song again. I certainly don't think "Nothing Else Matters" is a bad song - it's that I would strike it from the set list in favor of any tune from "Death Magnetic" or "St. Anger." Seriously, yes, I would love to hear Metallica take a deep cut from "St. Anger" like "Dirty Window" or "Invisible Kid" or my favorite tune on that album - "All Within My Hands" - and slip it into the set list. Remind fans that there are other great songs on "Death Magnetic" and on "St. Anger". Hell, I watched a little bit of a concert from 1997 where Metallica came to the stage and were jamming "Bad Seed." That is such a great riff. I also like the riff on "Bleeding Me" though with the tempo of that song being "slow" I can understand why it isn't played a lot live.

Editor's Note: Either "77" is a typo or some of the "youtubers" listed above contributed multiple videos.
