Metallica will release every show they have done in 2014 as a live album.

Metallica were one of the early innovators in the releasing of their shows for download shortly after their completion, having started the practice ten years ago; however, fans have been asking them to go, as they call it, 'old school' and put out shows on CD.

Starting Tuesday, the group started helping out those people who like the 'old' technology by putting out every show from 2014 on the shiny discs. Every week, three shows are being released, in chronological order, with dates from Bogota, Columbia, Quito, Ecuador and Lima, Peru out now.

For those that want them all, the band will release a 27 show box set later in the year. Plus, vinyl fans will have the chance to vote on the four shows that they would like to see released early in 2015.

There is also some indication that more may be coming in the new year as the band states 'Look for many more releases and cool box sets in the new year!'
