So, Metallica's been around for 30 years.  Feel old now?  30 years of metal up your ass.  The Mighty Mets decided to throw down for their 30th Anniversary with a handful of fan club shows at the Fillmore in San Francisco.

At what a sweet deal it was!  Metallica fan-club members could see  shows  for $6, or all four for $19.81 ( in honor of the 30 year mark).

All four show were recorded for posterity, and now the first show is available to MetClub fans.

The December 5 show kicked off the first of four nights with a bunch of special guests, including former Metallica bassist Jason Newsted, John Marshall (Metal Church), Sean Harris and Brian Tatler (Diamond Head), Biff Byford (Saxon) and Apocalyptica.

The full 22-song set from Night 1 can be downloaded at LiveMetallica.com, and is available in MP3 for $9.95, FLAC/ALAC for $12.95, or individual tracks for $0.99 each.

Download it at LiveMetallica.com here.

The remaining 30th Anniversary shows will be released soon.
