Metallica Bringing Back ‘Wherever We May Roam’ Livestream Series

Metallica has brought back its archival online streaming service. The band has begun running rare performances from its “Black Album” era via nugs.net. Metallica sent an email to fans announcing the revamped series, writing, “With help from the archivists at The Metallica Black Box, our friends at nugs.net are bringing back the ‘Wherever We May Roam’ livestream series from a year ago.”

Loudwire reported, “The series will feature 10 concerts that span 1991-1993; a ‘new’ concert will debut every Monday and Sunday for five weeks.”

According to the announcement: “If you remember these shows, you know they aren’t the polished productions you’ll find today. This standard definition footage comes from Betacam tapes with the occasional camera dropout, and the audio is straight from the soundboard. But these shows aren’t just a time capsule from the ’90s anymore; they’ve gotten some modern upgrades, including a new, extended edit and mastered audio by Reuben Cohen at Lurssen Mastering.”
