After a year of touring, the next Metallica project was entitled "S&M," a collaboration of sorts with the San Fransisco Symphony Orchestra. This consisted of two live shows, with Metallica playing some of their songs with a full Orchestral Backing. "S&M" was released in CD, video and DVD format in November 1999. Metallica then won a grammy for "Rock Instrumental Performance" with "The Call of the Ktulu" taken from the "S&M" album. Live concert recorded with the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra. "S&M" stands for "Symphony and Metallica". Mixed and edited from August to October, 1999 at The Plant Studios in Sausalito, California. Recorded live on April 21st & 22nd, 1999. Additional editing at Plantation Studios in Maui, Hawaii. Mastered at Sterling Sound.
