Megadeth Megadeth/London,UK 1992 Upgrade & more

2022 marks the 30th anniversary of “Countdown to Extinction”. The best and strongest professional shots are here to welcome the new year. This work contains a multi-camera professional shot of the “Hammersmith Odeon performance on September 30, 1992”. This video has been known as the strongest video of the golden four “Mustaine/Ellefson/Friedman/Menza” who built a major heyday, but this work is the highest quality version. Before the quality of the show, let’s start with the position. Speaking of 1992, it was the peak of the peak when the masterpiece “COUNTDOWN TO EXTINCTION” rose to No. 2 in the US. Let’s review the overview of their activities. 1992 ・May 22nd-July 14th: Warm-up (4 shows)《July 14th: Countdown to Extinction》・September 12th-October 27th: Europe #1 (34 shows)←★Here★・October 31st-December 31st: North America #1a (36 shows)←※COMPLETE LIVE TRAX 1993 ・January 3rd-February 12th: North America #1b (19 shows)　-Activities suspended-・June 3rd-22nd: Europe #2 (7 shows)・June 26th-July 19th: North America #2 (12 shows)【Ultimate quality on a different level from conventional air checks】This is MEGADETH in 1992/1993. Having sent their biggest hit of their career, Countdown to Extinction, to No. 2 in the US, they embarked on a large-scale world tour. Just when they were about to “defeat METALLICA,” Mustaine’s drug problem suddenly recurred. The Japan tour was canceled, and the momentum of the peak was reduced. This work is the maximum acceleration period before such a sting was attached. It was the 13th performance of “Europe #1”. As mentioned above, this show was professionally shot and broadcast on a certain satellite broadcasting station. The air check has produced many existing groups, but the highest peak was the DVD that was made official as the highlight of the out-of-print box “WARCHEST” released 15 years ago. The logo of a certain Japanese satellite broadcasting station is still as it is, and the sound quality and picture quality are as expected of the master quality. It was a broadcast that has been said to be “official class” for a long time, but it showed the difference in the rank of the real official. This work is a meticulous reprint from the same master as the out-of-print official DVD. However, such a station master was not perfect. There were 14 songs in the broadcast at that time, but for some reason only 10 were made official. At the time, enthusiasts were whispering, “Is there a plan to release the complete version alone!?”, but in the end, 15 years have passed. [The four cut songs are also complemented by the best master EXTRA] This work also eliminates such “It’s a pity!”. In the official BOX, the four cut songs (plus interview) were reprinted from the broadcast master and added. It seems that this Hammersmith video was only broadcast in Japan, and the interview is also complete with Japanese subtitles. Of course, this is also the best quality that exists. Although it does not reach the ultimate version of the main one, it is glossy with no dubbing marks that are different from the previous one. Including other performances, all the professional shots of “those four people” are of the highest quality and beautiful image quality. However, no matter how high the peak, if you mix it with the station master of the main story, you can’t deny the sense of inconsistency in the switching, so in this work, it is recorded separately as “EXTRA FOOTAGE”. So which song is the station master and which song is the broadcast version? Let’s check it out while sorting out the whole picture of this work. 80’s (4 songs) Peace Sells: Wake Up Dead / Peace Sells So Far So Good: In My Darkest Hour / Anarchy In The U.K. 90’s (6 songs + 4 songs) Last in Peace: Holy Wars… The Punishment Due / Hangar 18 / Lucretia / Tornado Of Souls Countdown to Extinction: Sweating Bullets / Ashes In Your Mouth / Skin O’ My Teeth (*) / Foreclosure Of A Dream (*) / Countdown To Extinction (*) / Symphony Of Destruction (*) *Note: * marks are songs that can be seen on the EXTRA FOOTAGE air check master. … and so on. At the time, it was unclear whether there were cuts, but now, audience recordings from the day have been unearthed, and it is known that there were all 14 songs listed above (MCs between songs were not broadcast, so it was not a complete video). This alone is more than 70 minutes long and is quite filling, but this work also includes two bonus MTV videos. One is “Reckoning Day” from the special program “Night Of The Living Megadeth” broadcast in conjunction with the release of “YOUTHANASIA”, and the other is “Symphony Of Destruction” from the famous program “Most Wanted”. Both are recorded directly from the official master and are the highest quality version (by the way, the former “Reckoning Day” disappears for a moment, but this seems to be a self-regulation to erase the “bitch” in the lyrics “I give you to bitch”. If it was covered with a beep like some time ago, it would be a broadcast accident? Master deterioration? It is a processing that may be misunderstood). Currently, the masterpiece “COMPLETE LIVE TRAX 1990-1997” is very popular, and this work can be said to be the pro shot edition. This work is the strongest pro shot of “those four people” who built the golden age. It is the highest quality version. Since it was not a consistent master from start to finish, it was not possible to press it, but now that we are in 2022, there is no better video than this. MEGADETH’s… no, it is a masterpiece pro shot that can be said to be the treasure of heavy metal. A multi-camera pro shot of the “September 30, 1992 Hammersmith Odeon performance”. The strongest video of the golden four “Mustaine / Ellefson / Friedman / Menza”, the main part is the original master (10 songs) that has been made official, and the four songs (plus interviews) that were officially cut are also added as the best master of the air check. All songs are collected in the highest peak version. In addition, two official MTV broadcasts are also included as a bonus. This is a super-decisive board that also covers the official live pro shots from the Marty & Nick era! Hammersmith Odeon, London, UK 30th September 1992 PRO-SHOT(UPGRADE) 1. Intro 2.
