Super Rare, Never Before Released Metallica Bootleg!!!
Ok guys... here it is.. finally being spread to the Metallica bootleg community after 15 years!!!
The August 30, 1991 - Domein Kiewit - Hasselt, Belgium show with the missing "Battery" and a NEW source!!
And I am proud to be an Anti-Hoarder and that I am the one who is doing it lol.
So for those of you that don't know i'll explain:
For the last 15 years.. well ever since this show happened, Theres only been 1 known source/version bootlegged.
This version is the version that the entire metallica bootleg community has and knows about.
This version has the "Am I Evil?" track missing the last few seconds of it and completely missing "Battery".
However, the previously unknown and uncirculated 2nd source/version that I am about to give out contains the entire "Am I Evil?" track and the missing and entire track of "Battery"
The only thing about this 2nd source is that the track "The Ecstasy Of Gold" is cut, but that doesn't really matter much, because the intro song "Enter Sandman" is complete and uncut.
Now for the explanation of why:
Why now? and How did this bootleg go unsurfaced and uncirculated for soo long?
I obviously cannot give the 110% explanation but im 99.9% positive it goes something like this.
Old bootleggers who have bootlegged shows in the past (10+ years ago) just like any bootlegger fall out of it.
They either quit bootlegging or quit trading and just keep their stuff in storage/garage/closet etc.
Because of the fact that this all happened before Computers were very "user friendly" and when hard-drives were only like 1GB, this is before the time of bootlegs being transfered/put on computers/cd's etc.
Therefore bootlegs like this one just sit in storage and are forgotten about. Bootlegs such as this one was obviously only traded via casette tape (which is how i received it and then transfered to .mp3) and was only traded a very limited amount of times. That is obvious because if it had been traded much at all it would've shown up via a computer some time ago.
Anyhow, thats the explanation for how this happened. I received it from a good friend on my forum (JITF) who had it on tape and sent it to me because he wanted for me to transfer it via mp3 because he had no way of doing so. Unfortunately this was almost 1 year ago and it had taken me soo long because i had trouble getting a casette player, and then i moved back home to california and had all of those many things happen to me. But it is now done...
Proof of this bootleg:
For the skeptics out there, no worries. I am the biggest critic of anyone, especially if i release something.
I take pride in it, and wouldn't release it without being 110% sure of its authenticity. I am very well known in
bootlegging world, both metallica and the bootlegging world in general and will always take pride in anything i let out to others
and the information i provide along with it.
The proof is quite simple.
The first is who i received it from and the story behind it.
Now for the hard evidence. If you listen to the bootleg you can tell it is obviously the exact same show. Theres no disputing that.
Each song and everything sounds exactly the same (the band playing that is)
However.. obviously 2 sources means 2 different bootleggers...
2 different bootleggers means 2 different locations at the concert.
The proof that this is a different source is evident when you listen to the different tracks and hear the audience.
For example: The track "Enter Sandman" on the 2nd source has a person "whistling" at the very beginning, yet the 1st version plays exactly the same and is completely precise as to how the band plays, yet theres no whistling. Obviously showing that this is because there are 2 bootleggers who are in 2 different locations and would not be picking up the same crowd/audience noise that the other is.
Lastly,
proof that the track "battery" is the same as the second source and is truely from the August 30 show is clearly evident by just listening to how it flawlessly runs perfectly together and by listening to the entire concert as a whole.
now that the explanations are all done...
ENJOY, FROM YOUR FRIEND JITF!!!
