To drive home just how massive the ...And Justice For All box set will be, Metallica have released a second live version for the album's epic "Harvester of Sorrow" as part of their countdown series. The intimate club setting and amateur camera work stands in contrast with the previously released 1991 rendition of the song, from British mega-festival Monsters of Rock. Filmed by Otto Weyer in 1989 at Newark, Delaware's Stone Balloon, the new clip captures a wall-to-wall crowd and pared-down stage set-up, giving the viewer a personal look into a 30-year-old show, complete with grainy, VHS-quality footage. The band were right on the precipice of breaking through to the big time, and the crowd's enthusiasm hinted at what would come for a band that would go on to be the most popular in metal history.
