I&#8217;m not going to pretend that I&#8217;ve consumed the entirety of Metallica&#8217;s over-the-top-box-set <em>Live Shit: Binge and Purge<\/em> (1993), again. It&#8217;s almost nine hours of live music! There are three VHS tapes and three CDs. I don&#8217;t even have a VCR any more. They released it later with DVDs but I couldn&#8217;t wait for that. Actually, this was a birthday present, I believe, and it was stupid spendy. But worth every penny!<\/p>\n<p>That package is the coolest. It even has little metal hinges on the back. In addition to the audio and video stuff there is a small stencil, a moss pit pass from the tour, and a great book. The book has tons of photos and photocopies of set lists, and some serious, but humorous, memos about what the band can and can&#8217;t do on stage in various countries, and much more.<\/p>\n<p>I got to see them play at least once on this mega-tour, but I can&#8217;t find the ticket stub. This package is an even better memento. Happy birthday to me, and as they say the introduction in the book, &#8220;Happy Overdose&#8221;!<\/p>\n<p>You can read all about <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Live_Shit:_Binge_%26_Purge\" target=\"_blank\">Metallica&#8217;s <em>Live Shit: Binge and Purge<\/em><\/a> at Wikipedia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A package this big needs at least two pics&#8230; My personal rule for all the music I&#8217;m posting is that I have to listen to the entire thing and decide whether to keep it.
