27 и 28 октября 2007 года Metallica дала два акустических концерта в рамках ежегодного благотворительного фестиваля, проводимого в Маунтин Вью, Калифорния Нилом Янгом. Официальное название \"The Bridge School Benefit, Mountain View, CA\". Особенность данного концерта - это представление старых добрых песен в интригующем акустическом звучании. На нем было сыграно 5 НОВЫХ! каверов и 5 \"каверов Металлики на Металлику\", как выразился Джеймс во время одного из концертов. Трэклист: День Первый 1. I Just Want To Celebrate (Rare Earth) 2. Please Don't Judas Me (Nazareth) 3. I'm Only Happy When It Rains (Garbage) 4. Brothers In Arms (Dire Straits) 5. Metallica - Disposable Heroes 6. Metallica - All Within My Hands 7. Metallica - Turn the Page 8. Metallica - Nothing Else Matters
День Второй 1. I Just Want To Celebrate (Rare Earth) 2. Please Don't Judas Me (Nazareth) 3. Metallica - Veteran Of The Psychic Wars (Blue Oyster Cult) 4. Metallica - Brothers In Arms (Dire Straits) 5. Metallica - Disposable Heroes 6. Metallica - The Unforgiven 7. Metallica - Nothing Else Matters 8. Metallica - All Within My Hands
Поразила замахом “Brothers In Arms” (Dire Straits). Бессмертная “The Unforgiven” вообще супер, а \" All Within My Hands\" в акустике - это что-то!
You see me now a veteran of a thousand psychic wars I've been living on the edge so long Where the winds of limbo roar And I'm young enough to look at And far too old to see All the scars are on the inside I'm not sure if there's anything left of me
Don't let these shakes go on It's time we had a break from it It's time we had some leave We've been living in the flames We've been eating up our brains Oh, please don't let these shakes go on
You ask me why I'm weary, why I can't speak to you You blame me for my silence Say it's time I changed and grew But the war's still going on dear And there's no end that I know And I can't say if we're ever... I can't say if we're ever gonna to be free
Don't let these shakes go on It's time we had a break from it It's time we had some leave We've been living in the flames We've been eating out our brains Oh, please don't let these shakes go on
You see me now a veteran of a thousand psychic wars My energy's spent at last And my armor is destroyed I have used up all my weapons and I'm helpless and bereaved Wounds are all I'm made of Did I hear you say that this is victory?
Don't let these shakes go on It's time we had a break from it Send me to the rear Where the tides of madness swell And been sliding into hell Oh, please don't let these shakes go on Don't let these shakes go on Don't let these shakes go on
