1988–1989 concert tour by Metallica
Damaged Justice Associated album ...And Justice for All Start date September 11, 1988 End date October 8, 1989 Legs 5 No. of shows219
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.[1]
Itinerary
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.
The line-up from left to right; Jason Newsted (bass), Lars Ulrich (drums), James Hetfield (lead vocals/rhythm guitar), Kirk Hammett (lead guitar).
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 .[2] 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.[3]

Alternate songs
The setlist remained fairly consistent over the course of the tour. "Blackened" opened every performance with the exception of "Creeping Death" at some concerts in the summer of 1989. "The Wait" was teased as part of the second encore beginning with the spring '89 Pacific Rim tour. Other covers teased included "Prowler " (originally performed by Iron Maiden ), "Helpless", "How Many More Times " by Led Zeppelin and "Black Night " by Deep Purple . "Eye of the Beholder" was often played as the fifth or sixth song, immediately following "Harvester of Sorrow"; it was switched out fairly regularly with "The Four Horsemen". "Leper Messiah" made infrequent appearances in this position as well. "Damage, Inc." followed the bass solo initially (this can be heard on various bootlegs from the fall '88 European tour) but was for the most part phased out by the end of the year and used as an encore when at all. The encores changed almost every night but almost always consisted of the covers "Breadfan" and "Blitzkrieg" (rare) among them as well as the aforementioned "Damage, Inc." and "Motorbreath", from Kill 'Em All . The band also started switching instruments during "Am I Evil?" at certain dates starting in 1989. Lars Ulrich would be on lead vocals, Jason Newsted on guitar, Kirk Hammett on bass and James Hetfield on drums. The group performed it at these shows: Nagoya, Japan, on May 18; Newark, Delaware, on August 7; Irvine, California, on September 23; and São Paulo on October 7.
Around halfway through the tour as the "One" single and video became more successful, it moved further down the setlist to the first encore, and "Fade to Black" would take its spot between "Master of Puppets" and "Seek & Destroy".
