Cool, but it isn't a setlist from Bemowo. Maybe it is from Sofia? Yeah, in Warsaw it was the first Big 4 show ever, but there was no "Am I Evil?" (it was in Bulgaria, in Poland we had "Stone Cold Crazy"), there was no "Harvester of Sorrow" (instead "The Four Horsemen" - there is an official clip of it in Metallica's page). So something is not right.

You should correct that news, 'cos that night DID NOT featured the legendary jam cover of the Diamond Head classic "Am I Evil?" by all bands. I know, I was there And there is a typo in "Seek and Destroy"

Yep, I am confused too... The night that contained the jam cover of "Am I Evil", was 22nd June at Sofia. It wasnt played at the June 16th show in Poland. Also, the setlist that Megadeth played in Sofia was very different to the one listed there. And Anthrax played 10 songs, not 8. Something is amiss. lol

@Cidder & Angelic Storm: the DVD will indeed contain live footage from the show in Bulgaria. Seems like BW&BK's sources aren't so reliable after all... Apologies for the minor heart attacks that were caused.

I know the show in Bulgaria was the one that was shown in cinemas. Although none of the bands had their full sets shown, and it wasnt truly "live". But the concensus was that the full sets were recorded for a future DVD. The Megadeth setlist in Sofia in particular, is very different to the one they've listed as being on the DVD.

Minor heart attacks? Don't be so melodramatic.

To be honest, there's not a single band in The Big Four I still care for today.

They shake your hand and they smile and they buy you a drink
They say we'll be your friends we'll stick with you till the end
But everybody's only looking out for themselves
And you say who can you trust I'll tell you nobody

I watched the concert when it was played at the theatre, the crowd at Sofia is probably the lamest ever. The four bands gave up fucking great performances and almost everybody was standing still, even with Metallica. I mean, what's wrong with them? It's a thrash metal concert, the wildest musical style ever, you're supposed to mosh 'til your limbs fall out.

This is Europe, not US. Some people can actually enjoy a show without ruining it for those who stand near by shoving them around.

But for a thrash DVD, it would have been more exhilarating if they did pick an audience that had some wild pits going.
Watching any show on screen one already feels removed from it, and the energy of the show audience can make one feel included if they're wild for the music.

Did the Big Four do a similar tour/show in the States? Would be much more sense to release a DVD of a domestic gig, as a tribute to US fans who made 'em big to begin with, on local grounds. THEN there would have been so much moshing and mayhem in the audience that National Guard woulda had to be called...

Wow, this is a lot sooner than I thought. Striving for the deluxe edition.
I hope they include the interviews and the Remembering Dio part in the special features or something.
And fix the fucking bugs. Anyone that saw it in the theaters have a sound problem when Megadeth played Sweating Bullets? For me the sound was gone and didn't come back until during Symphony of Destruction. Anyone else have that problem, or was it just my theater?

That's what I meant. They should've chosen a better place.

@the stranger: What do you mean by 'a better place' ? Bulgarian audience is crazy.
Sorry, dude, but that was the lamest disclosure ever.

Simple, I watched it, saw the bands giving great performances, saw the crowd standing still and almost never singing along. So, a place with a wilder crowd would have appealed more to me.

I was THERE and I can assure you that nearly every one was singing alone. Moreover, Bulgarian audience is loved by all metal bands, just like Latin American one is. There were actually many people headbanging and moshing. How come you didn't happen to see any of them?!

Anyway. It's important to have your own opinion but insulting other fans with plain 'evidence' is simply lame. Next time you wanna try to convince somebody that Bulgarian metalheads suck...well, then you should first take a look at some serious live footage from Bulgaria. That's gotta be a reason why so famous metal bands such as the ones from The Big Thrash 4 have shot their DVD's in Bulgaria, right?

P.S.: Manowar even achieved a Guinness record at a concert in Kavarna.

Because none of that was in the video footage shown. I had the same thoughts when I saw the crowd shots: I was surprised that the crowd seemed for the most part to be very bored and uninvolved.

BTW, wonder if they'll come to Sweden next year? Because when I saw Anthrax at Sonisphere they said "see you next year with the big four!".
