Guitarist [[Kirk Hammett]] noted that the length of the songs was problematic for fans and for the band: "Touring behind it, we realized that the general consensus was that songs were too fucking long [...] I can remember getting offstage one night after playing 'Justice' and one of us saying, 'Fuck, that's the last time we ever play that fucking song!{{'"}}, "One" quickly became a permanent fixture in the band's setlist. When performed live, the opening war sound is extended from seventeen seconds to approximately two minutes. At the song's conclusion, the stage turns pitch-black and fire erupts from around the stage. The live performance is characterized as a "musical and visual highlight" by ''Rolling Stone'' journalist Denise Sheppard.[{{cite magazine|last=]Sheppard|first=Denise|title=Metallica Bring 'The Full Arsenal' 3D Show to Vancouver|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/metallica-brings-the-full-arsenal-3d-show-to-vancouver-20120828|magazine=Rolling Stone|date=August 28, 2012|access-date=June 10, 2013|archive-date=September 15, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170915114148/http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/metallica-brings-the-full-arsenal-3d-show-to-vancouver-20120828|url-status=live}} Other songs from ''...And Justice for All'' that have frequently been performed are "Blackened" and "Harvester of Sorrow", which were often featured during the album's promotional 1988–1989 [[Damaged Justice]] tour.{{Citation needed|date=February 2026}} The tour featured multiple sell-out dates across Europe.
