Also, I was a bit disappointed that Robert Trujillo's bass is pretty low and weak in the mix (see Seek and Destroy and Orion as prime examples) although the overall sound, especially the guitars is well spread across all channels giving the band a nice dimensionality in the live clips. I wish the live audio was a bit more punchy and in-your-face...you really have to blast the volume to get the sound to open up.

The backstory with the kid/roadie's adventure is utterly pointless and silly,

Can any hardcore Metallica fans tell me if the few other live Blu-rays they've released the past few years that feature comparatively better audio mixes or is this the top o' the heap?

His Name is Trip

And in all honesty it helped with the flow of the film. Trip's story helped make the film what it is.
Yes they did a live show in the real world, but at the end of the day it is what it is a Film that anyone who has a metal heart can enjoy.

Personally I thought the same of Pink Floyeds The Wall, its unterlly pointless. just an album with music video.... not entertaining.

And before I get jumped, I do like some of the songs from pink floyd...
