Live performances
Hammett noted the length of the songs being problematic for fans and the band. "Touring behind it, we realized that the general consensus was that songs were too fucking long," he said. "One day after we played 'Justice' and got off the stage one of us said, 'we're never fucking playing that song again.'"[15] He is also quoted in an interview for SoWhat! magazine as saying "'Justice' was a bit much for me. I couldn't stand watching the front row start to yawn by the eight or ninth minute."
In spite of this, the song "One" quickly gained a permanent fixture in the band's live playlist since the release of the album [16]. The only other song from …And Justice For All that has come close to this is "Harvester of Sorrow," a song that was played live heavily after the album's release but has only begun to be played again recently. "Blackened" has also recently seen some exposure in the World Magnetic Tour.
When the song "One" is played live, the war sounds heard at the beginning of the song are often lengthened to sometimes around two minutes instead of the original twenty seconds. Also, when the war sounds have reached a conclusion, after having a pitch-black stage, fire will erupt from various points of the stage.
16 years after "Dyers Eve" was recorded, on March 5, 2004, the band performed the song in its entirety for the first time ever on the Madly in Anger with the World Tour, at the The Forum in Inglewood, California[17].
On June 28, 2007, Metallica played the title track for the first time since October 1989, in Lisbon on the first show of their Sick of the Studio '07 tour[18] and made it a set-fixture for the remainder of that routing. In 2008, "...And Justice for All" was played again during their 2008 Tour.
To date, "The Frayed Ends of Sanity" and "To Live is to Die" remain the only songs from the album that have never been performed live in their entirety. Instead, the band played segments of them during solos, impromptu jams, or, in the case of "The Frayed Ends of Sanity," in a "Justice" medley featured on the live album, "Live Shit: Binge and Purge."
