Rage Against The Machine's The Battle Of Mexico City Set Hits Streaming For 21st Anniversary

To mark the 21st anniversary of their gig at Palacio de los Deportes in Mexico City on October 28, 1999, Rage Against The Machine have put their Battle Of Mexico City live set on streaming for the first time.

The band initially made the pro-shot show available for fans to watch on VHS (remember them?) in 2001, with it then heading to DVD the following year.
