Film review: Ozzy: No Escape From Now
Highly-intimate, deeply personal, brilliant documentary captures the pain and glory of Ozzy Osbourne’s journey to get back onstage to say goodbye.

If you get yourself a copy of the vvvv mega deluxe remastered version of Metallica's world-beating 1986 opus Master Of Puppets, which is out November 10, you'll be able to own a hard copy of the below recording of Damage Inc., recorded in Essen, West Germany in January 1987.
As Metalsucks.net points out, this performance would have been only a few months after Jason Newsted first appeared on stage with Metallica, replacing original bassist Cliff Burton who died when the band's bus crashed in southern Sweden on the September 26 1986.

It's worth a listen:
