Weighing in at three CDs and three videos, plus a bunch of tour memorabilia, the sheer bulk of Live Shit: Binge & Purge scares off anyone but the most devoted fans, which is too bad. Although it is exhausting, this box provides ample proof of the brutal power of Metallica in concert -- the entire program of a Mexico City concert is included, and it is awe-inspiring. For hardcore fans, Live Shit is a godsend.
