Thanks goes to all of you on YouTube who have taken the time to preserve Metallica's many performances in high quality over the years!

A very special thanks to Dylan Donkin for pointing me in the right direction for the Echobrain clips, as well as to Brian Sagrafena for hosting many clips on his website (slothmountainstudios.com).
