Audio Description:
Good recording. The soundcheck was also recorded. Most of the soundcheck features the road crew setting up the sound for the show. The only interesting parts are when a slightly irritated Tate tells Jackson to "turn it down" and scowls after the band rehearses "Revolution Calling". "Operation: Mindcrime" was also played during soundcheck.

This means that the Greenville date *might* be incorrect, or that QR didn't open for Metallica in Columbia - if that show ever took place. A known fact though is that the Greenville show was at one point advertised as taking place on 02/22/89, and in the same advertisement the Columbia show was listed as 02/23/89. However,  an EMI pressrelease did not mention the Columbia date at all. It is not known which one that came first, the ad or the pressrelease...

This recollection was sent in by Stephen Gorny

"I don't recall the entire set, but what
sticks out was that the band had done an in-store appearance at a Waxie Maxies store earlier in the day, which I also attended.  A petition was passed out through the line of fans asking the band to play "Surgical Strike". During the show, Geoff mentioned the in-store and the request and the band proceeded to play the song."
