Metallica Share 1991 “Sad But True” Performance Video
Metallica have shared a pro-shot video of their “Sad But True” performance at the Monsters of Rock Festival at Gentofte Stadion in Gentofte, Denmark on August 10, 1991.
This was only the third time the band played the song, having given the track its live debut at a pair of warm-up shows in California a week prior.
Watch the video below. It comes from one of the SIX live and behind-the-scenes DVDs that will be included in the upcoming super-duper-extra-special thirtieth anniversary reissue of The Black Album.
