Francais Pour Une Nuit



On July 7th of this year we were honored to perform at Arenes de Nimes, the historic Roman amphitheatre in Nimes, France, easily one of the most spectacular venues in the world. We thought it would be a memorable night, so we asked our friends in France to bring along a film crew to document the festivities. The result is "Francais Pour Une Nuit" (translation: "French For One Night"), the DVD of the evening including the full show, interviews with us, and five videos shot by YOU, our buddies in the audience. All this and more will be available starting November 23, 2009!

"Francais Pour Une Nuit" was extra special for us because not only was it filmed in France, but ALL aspects of the project are French as the show was filmed, recorded, and edited with French camera and recording crews, the artwork on the package and special box set (more on that in a minute!) were created by a French design team; even the credits are in French. The only non-French parts: the three Americans and one Dane on stage and the photos shot by Englishman Ross Halfin.

The DVD will be available in retail stores in France only, at www.metallica.com, or you may order online through the record company at www.metallicanimes.com. There will be three formats available: Standard DVD in a digipack including a 16 page booklet, Blu-Ray DVD, also in a digipack with the booklet, and the deluxe limited edition box set (it's actually a tin) that includes the DVD, a copy of "Death Magnetic on CD," a Large T-shirt, laminated pass, and five exclusive photos (see it all below).

thx 4 info man! really miss watching them play live...

I heard the Mexico DVD is better because the performance and Lars double bass is less edited. Btw, Metallica always perform great when they come to Mexico.

maybe bcoz they stoned too much in mexico..

btw, metallica live performance is superb..

Finally received the blu-ray:

how about the picture and quality? Is it very real like standing in front of the stage?

saw the avi copies of both...yupp...mexico is better...the crowd is wilder...but overall both great show...nothing compares to seeing them live in front of your eyes though...lucky managed to do that some years ago in England. Seems like yesterday.

will definitely get this blu ray once blu ray players get cheaper...

Windows Media Center support Blu-Ray or not? I need to get Blu-Ray driver but i dont have 5.1 speaker and HD LCD.

wondering.. any possibilities of getting these 2 live DVD locally?


and the "Tres Noches En La Ciudad de Mexico"


anyone?

Just buy them from Amazon. Btw I only bought Francais Pour Une Nuit. Tracklisting for Orgullo, Passion, Y Gloria is just disappointing. Why the hell the DVD counterpart gets more track? Haih

Nevertheless, FPUN is great. Both Audio & Video.. Totally!

p/s - I'm talking about the blu-ray release of course

what? everybody drooling to get the Mexico setlist. Beside that you got the classic Disposable Heroes and Ride the Lightning. There are people said Mexico DVD mix is sound better than the French DVD especially Lars kick drum.

BTW anyone noticed how Lars' drum set has shrunk considerably compared to the Justice/Black era? He used to be enclosed in his own circle of tom-toms!

as one gets older... less is more

hey is the performance as good as live shyt binge?!?!?

no way. Live sh*t is a legendary performance. But i would said it is good performance considering they have change their attitude and style.

damn .... then rent and see see first! its sad

live shyt binge has perfect performance but the sound quality is not top notch ... on the other hand this new one has good sound quality but the performance is not so powwa alr ...

sad sad ... some one should remaster live shyt binge if possible!

Live sh*t is Metallica when they was at their prime, surely Lars can play like that anymore, James can't growl anymore, Kirk maybe has become a little sloppy and Robert can't sing Whiplash and Seek & Destroy like Jason. But that French DVD is really good performance by these oldies. You might wann a check the sample :-
