Damaged Justice Set

The Damaged Justice tour ran from September 11, 1988, through October 6, 1989, in support of Metallica's fourth studio album ...And Justice for All. According to Zach Harmon, the band's bass guitar tech & equipment manager, the Damage, Inc. tour set was painted gray and used as the base for the Damaged Justice set, adding "one Lady Justice statue 20' ft tall (nicknamed 'Doris'), two Lions of Strength & Majesty, tipped Scales of Justice, Doris' broken sword (a symbol of the power of justice), and Halls of Justice building architecture, which included fallen columns across the stage."
