Megadeth/Live Compilation 1986-2001

MEGADETH is a big name second only to METALLICA, but their official live performances are poor. Although there are several live albums now, they did not release any live albums in the essential 80s and 90s, and only released fragmented live takes on singles. An official take compilation that compiles all those fragmented takes has been decided to be released. This work contains official takes from their debut until 2001, when they temporarily disbanded. Currently, several full live albums have been officially released, but this work is a comprehensive look at the detailed live tracks “other than that”. Let’s introduce them by decade. [Disc 1: 1986 London performance (RADIO ONE)] Two songs included in the singles “WAKE UP DEAD” and “ANARCHY IN THE UK”, “Good Mourning/Black Friday” and “Devil’s Island”. This is a precious live performance from the “PEACE SELLS… BUT WHO’S BUYING?” era, and until the 25th anniversary edition was released, it was the only official live performance from the Chris Poland & Gar Samuelson era. Not only can you hear “Good Mourning/Black Friday” that is not included in the “1987 Cleveland performance” included in the 25th anniversary edition, but these are two of the highest quality songs that surpass the quality. [Disc 1: 1992 Alpine Valley Performance] The time flies to 1992. In fact, there are no official live tracks from the “SO FAR, SO GOOD… SO WHAT!” era. During the “RUST IN PEACE” era, detailed live tracks were released on singles, etc., but they were all “1990 Wembley performances”. Now that the full live version has been released in the box “WARCHEST”, it has fulfilled its role. Also, most of the footage from the “COUNTDOWN TO EXTINCTION” era was from the “1992 Cow Palace Performance,” and you can listen to the full show on the bonus disc of the 20th anniversary edition. However, what you can’t hear on the full live edition alone are the three songs “Skin O’ My Teeth,” “Lucretia,” and “Hight Speed ​​Dirt” from the “May 23, 1992 Alpine Valley Performance” included in the single “SKIN O’MY TEETH.” In particular, “High Speed ​​Dirt” is a rare song that was only played at that time or on the album reproduction tour, and it is a treasure take that is not included in the 20th anniversary edition “1992 Cow Palace.” Of course, the members are the “golden four” of Marty Friedman and Nick Menza. [Disc 1: 1995 Los Angeles Performance] Five live takes from the “YOUTHANASIA” era. Of course, this is also a live performance by the “golden four.” “Tornado Of Souls” and “A Tout Le Monde” were also released to the public on the EP “LIVE TRAX”, but the remaining three tracks, “Skin O’ My Teeth”, “Holy Wars…The Punishment Due” and “Symphony Of Destruction”, are rare items that are only available on the promo CD limited to the fan club “CYBER ARMY”. [Disc 2: 1997 Mesa Performance] This is disc 2. First of all, there are 10 live songs from the 1997 “CRYTIC WRITINGS” era, which are the main tracks of the EPs “LIVE TRAX” and “LIVE TRAX II”. In this work, the songs are arranged in the same order as the live performance, but since the concept is “official track collection”, the fade processing is left as it is. Of course, this is also the “golden four”. [Disc 2: 1999 Woodstock 99 + α] Two songs from 1999, when Nick was replaced by Jimmy DeGrasso. “A Secret Places” is a take from “WOODSTOCK ’99” where they appeared with METALLICA, and was included in the festival compilation version. On the other hand, “Never Say Die!” is a take from the BLACK SABBATH tribute album. The recording date and location are unknown, but it is said to be September 1999, when “Never Say Die!” was also performed at other shows among enthusiasts. Although Nick is not there, this is a live performance where you can enjoy the wonderful singing voice of Dave Mustaine, who reached the peak of his career. [Disc 2: 2001 Phoenix Performance] The last is 2001, just before the band disbanded. Finally, Marty left and was replaced by Al Pitrelli, and these are two songs. This is an outtake from “RUDE AWAKENING” which was included in the best album, and it is also the final day of “THE WORLD NEEDS A HERO TOUR”. After this, Mustaine injured his arm and left the band. MEGADETH is on the road to disbandment. MEGADETH ran through the 80s and 90s with the keyword “intellectual”. This is a compilation that traces their history in one go with their official live sound. This is a great value album that gives you access to a treasure trove of official live performances that are now difficult to complete. This is a two-disc live set that is super cool to listen to and super convenient for collection. Please enjoy it to the fullest.
