Metallica - Live At The Old Waldorf, San Francisco, California (October 18, 1982)
[Vault Bootleg]

Released: 10 February 2004

This is rough and raw. James wails like an out of tune banshee, and Lars sounds like he is playing a set of cardboard boxes instead of drums. The guitars are low in the mix, but Dave's solos generally cut through with some clarity. There are earlier recorded Metallica concerts out in the wild, but this one is by far the most superior in terms of sound quality. Put this in the context of 1982 - very few bands were playing this fast or extreme.

Metallica - Live At The Agora Ballroom, Cleveland, Ohio (December 18, 1983)
[Vault Bootleg]

Released: 10 February 2004

The sound quality is low, but the band is in fine form on this show from the tour supporting Raven. James still has a long way to go with his live vocals, and his stage-craft is still cringe-worthy in places. The band is tight (and slighty out of tune) throughout. For the most part this is an interesting listen, with early versions of Ride The Lightning tracks.

Metallica - Live At Le Riff, Toulouse, France (November 22, 1984)
[Vault Bootleg]

Released: 10 February 2004

A fairly standard show, but the band does sound worn and ragged. They aren't as tight as usual, and athough his vocals are together, James sounds like he isn't really putting in 100%.
