Metallica today announced that they will release a live DVD entitled "Quebec Magnetic" on December 10, 2012. The DVD captures the two World Magnetic live shows which took place in Quebec City in the fall of 2009.
"This release is a first for us," said Metallica in a statement on Metallica.com. "Yes boys and girls, the DVD and Blu-ray will be coming out on our very own label in North America! There are still some "i's" being dotted and "t's" crossed, so we can't give you a name or fancy logo just yet, but we're pretty excited that for the first time we get to hold all the reins on a release from start to finish. Since we now get to call all the shots, the double DVD and single disc Blu-ray will be available for a price we thought was very Metallica fan friendly - suggested retail will be $15.98 for either format."
The setlist for the DVD was voted on by the over 35,000 of the band's fans at Metallica.com this past September.See below for a complete tracklisting.Tracklisting That Was Just Your Life The End Of The Line The Four Horsemen The Shortest Straw One Broken, Beat & Scarred My Apocalypse Sad But True Welcome Home (Sanitarium) The Judas Kiss The Day That Never Comes Master of Puppets Battery Nothing Else Matters Enter Sandman Killing Time Whiplash Seek & DestroyBonus Songs For Whom the Bell Tolls Holier Than Thou Cyanide Turn The Page All Nightmare Long Damage, Inc.
