Wikipedia / Damaged Justice
Damaged Justice was the fourth concert tour by the American heavy metal band Metallica. It began on September 11, 1988, and ended on October 8, 1989. The name is believed to be inspired either by the cover of its fourth studio album ...And Justice for All, or by the song "Damage, Inc." from the group's previous album, Master of Puppets. The single "One" was released during the tour.
Itinerary
The Damaged Justice tour was Metallica's first full-length world tour with bassist Jason Newsted, who replaced Cliff Burton following the latter's death in 1986 as they were in the middle of touring behind Master of Puppets. It began in Europe on September 11, 1988, and Royal Air Force were the supporting act on the tour's first few dates. Metallica then played two Monsters of Rock shows in Spain with Iron Maiden, Anthrax and Helloween, and played a few headlining shows with Anthrax, before heading to the UK, where Danzig served as the opening act. Queensrÿche replaced Danzig for the remainder of the European leg and also served as the supporting act for the tour's first North American leg. Following this was Metallica's first tour of Australia, which included support by Mortal Sin. The Cult were the opening act for the second North American leg of the tour from May 31 to September 1, 1989, and were replaced by Faith No More for remaining tour dates. The Damaged Justice tour concluded with three shows in Brazil in October 1989.
The tour marked the first and, to date, only time that Metallica has played in the U.S. state of Delaware. On August 7, 1989, the band headlined a special and very drunken gig at Newark's Stone Balloon, with Wrathchild America as the supporting act.
Recordings
The Damaged Justice tour was the first time the band had used live recordings of their concerts in single B-Sides and EP's (Those used on the Jump in the Fire single from 1984 were demos with faked audience noise dubbed over). The concert of February 5, 1989 was recorded and "For Whom the Bell Tolls", "Welcome Home (Sanitarium)", "Seek and Destroy" and "Creeping Death" were used as B-Sides for the "One" single in Europe and Japan, as well as the majority of the concert being re-released as part of Fan Can 4.
Both of the August 29 and 30, 1989, shows in Seattle were also recorded and "Harvester of Sorrow", "One", "Breadfan" and "Last Caress" were used for The Good, The Bad and The Live. The same mix of these shows used here was used on the digital re-masters of the band's first four albums when uploaded to digital retailers, though a different set of songs were used in this case, two from the respective album. In 1993, these concerts were re-mixed and released as video in the box set Live Shit: Binge & Purge.
In 2020, Metallica released a live concert video of the Irvine show.
