Import Blu-Ray/Region All pressing.

Francais Pour Une Nuit is an electrifying full length live DVD. The 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse -that is, James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Kirk Hammett and Robert Trujillo- ride into Nimes and make their entrance into the Coliseum, through the gladiator's tunnel, before performing an explosive set of Metallica music. Fans can also look forward to some exclusive backstage footage.

Francais Pour Une Nuit is unique in that not only was it filmed in France, but ALL aspects of the project are French, other than the band themselves, of course! The concert was filmed, recorded, and edited with French camera and recording crews; the artwork was created by a French design team (including a one-of-a-kind special package); even credits are in French.

The band took their mammoth 'World Magnetic' tour on the road last year, which broke the record for the biggest attendance at London's 02 Arena last September, and broke it again in March 2009. Metallica returned to the UK in August for a triumphant headline slot at the Sonisphere Festival.

Including 2 hours of the show, 37 minute interview of the band, 5 videos from the audience/16 page booklet, Francais Pour Une Nuit i sthe ultimate Metallica live experience!

Francais Pour Une Nuit (2009) [Blu-ray] Reviews:
Amazing show on Blu-ray Great Setlist
2009-12-29 - I pre-ordered the blu-ray, and I can say the sound and picture are amazing!

If you've seen Metallica live, than you already know that is where this band truly shines. Now a bit about this blu-ray.

The venue is historic...a truly amazing night, unlike any venue I've ever seen. As James proclaims, Metallica Gladiators are here! The show is stripped down, gone is the usual large stadium walk-around stage, they have a much smaller, typical box stage here (for obvious reasons) but I think this always makes for a more intimate show, so don't expect any of the tricks and grand stage events like the prior official releases. You get Metallica in-your-face!

The setlist is as follows:

Blackened
Creeping Death
Fuel
Harvester of Sorrow
Fade to Black
Broken, Beat and Scarred
Cyanide
Sad but True
One
All Nightmare Long
The Day That Never Comes
Master of Puppets
Dyers Eve (yah baby!!)
Nothing Else Matters
Enter Sandman (concert staple eh?)
Stone Cold Crazy
Motorbreath
Seek and Destroy

There is a short booklet with the setlist and black and white photos of the venue and the guys playing live. Kirk and James break out some very cool guitars at this show, as a guitar player, I always like to see the new guitars so I thought I'd mention that.

Bonus features are an extensive interview with the guys individually. Lars was interviewed outside at night and he's wearing dark shades, typical Lars! It also includes 5 videos shot by 5 different fans, which is really cool as you probably already know Metallica has one of the largest bootleg communities of any band, so I thought that was a very cool feature to add.

The performance in my opinion was fantastic....James voice sounds really good and tight....the whole band sounds good and the bass is sweet, the crowd is not disappointing either. A Metallica fan will really enjoy this release and if you missed the band on this tour, this is a MUST own.

As it has been mentioned in previous reviews this is a steep price. I got this on blu-ray for 19.99, it's not available in stores here in the U.S, so shop around online before you decide where to buy it.

Don't buy it on amazon
2009-11-29 - As of the time of this review amazon has this for $54(discounted from $100), you can buy it for $20 on metallicas official site. The dvd is great, but not worth the price of a concert ticket.

Thank you Metallica
2009-11-28 - Very good show, well recorded, good movie. Best songs.
But 53 USD .... Waow. I'm happy because I found it for 20 Euros here in France. Available on nov. 23.
Buy it in France ....
