Metallica has such a wide selection of songs to choose from that it was nearly impos­ sible to come up with just 21. Metallica and Michael Kamen had gone through the entire catalogue of songs and chose the 21 they felt would be best for this type of concert. After such a great end result, its hard to criticize the selection of songs, but one has to wonder why such classic songs that seem a perfect fit for orchestral accompaniment like Unforgiven, Unforgiven II, (Welcome Home) Sanitarium, Fight Fire With Fire, The Four Horsemen, and Fade to Black were not chosen.
