One show from the touring Rock Festival featuring "The Big Four" of 1980s Thrash Metal: Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer and Anthrax.
In 2010, for the first time ever, four giants of Metal shared one stage for seven European shows. "The Big Four": Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax, the final night was broadcast live via satellite to movie screens around the world! Now this historic concert is available on your screen... which means the best seat in the house is now in your house!!
It is since 1984 that young fans of Thrash Metal have begun to speculate on a concert that would combine the Big Four. Over the years, and after a few setbacks and tensions between bands, this vision of a reunion faded. It would take twenty-five years before new rumors, stronger and with more presence on many sites and fan communities, resurfaced. On the occasion of the Sonisphere Festival 2010, the legendary Big Four shared the bill for the first time. This already legendary concert was immortalized for giving us the Big Four: Live From Sofia, Bulgaria.
The event took place on June 22, 2010 at the Sonisphere Festival at Vasil Levski National Stadium, Sofia, Bulgaria. Before its DVD release, it was shown at 450 movie theaters in the United States and over 350 movie theaters across Europe, Canada and Latin America on June 22, 2010.
The DVD peaked at number one on the United States, United Kingdom, Austrian, and Canadian charts, and also charted on three other charts. It was certified Gold in Germany and provided Slayer with its first Platinum certification.
Bonus on second DVD features: Behind The Scenes documentary, giving exclusive access to The Big 4 backstage at Sonisphere, including interviews and “Am I Evil?” rehearsal footage.
