Metallica's appearance at 2007's Live Earth was one of the highlights of the global climate crisis concerts. This download captures the energy and passion of the day in three of the band's best-loved singles, all taken from their breakthrough self-titled album. Here you'll find 'Nothing Else Matters', 'Enter Sandman' and 'Sad But True', all delivered with the ferocity and power of Metallica live.

A climate-consciousness event organised by former US Vice President Al Gore, Live Earth took place in nine different venues across the planet on 7th July 2007. With the aim of highlighting global warming and raising funds for the Alliance for Climate Protection, the day saw Metallica line-up alongside the likes of The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Beastie Boys, Foo Fighters, Madonna and Genesis at the event's London leg.

Here's what Lars had to say on why the band were keen to get involved with Live Earth: 'I love my sons. I want them to inherit the Earth for real! We keep waiting for future generations to solve the problems; to invent cleaner technology; to pay the costs. That's the same as passing the buck. I want the buck to stop here, now. I want lawmakers and laws to impose change. Nothing else will keep this world safe for my sons.'
