Filmed during the band’s final M72 tour stop of 2024 in Mexico City, this groundbreaking project features full performances of Whiplash, One, and Enter Sandman, all captured using Apple’s cutting-edge Immersive Video technology.
This venture into immersive technology employs ultra-high-resolution 180-degree video and Spatial Audio, offering fans unparalleled access—from intimate Snake Pit vantage points to sweeping wide-angle perspectives. To achieve this, Apple designed a custom stage setup, incorporating 14 Apple Immersive Video cameras, including stabilised units, cable-suspended cameras, and remote-controlled dolly systems to capture the band from every possible angle.
