According to METALLICA's web site, the DVD/CD package contains a total of 34 songs taken from all three shows, which each had a different set list. Blu-Ray, digipack and deluxe slipcased editions are also available, with full track listings for each available at the METALLICA site.

Interviews with the group in Mexico are also included.

All the credits will be in Spanish and as with the band's newly released French concert DVD, the set will be available only in stores in Latin America and at the METALLICA web site, beginning the week of December 7.

METALLICA plays a few more U.S. shows next month before breaking for the holidays. The band will resume touring in early 2010 with trips to South America and Europe.
