  Decent performance of a classic metal album.

  There was a lot of question about overdubs on this. I have my suspicions but overall it is an enjoyable performance. The band rips through the great selections from Countdown to Extinction and some usual classics. Buying the blu was a great idea for the live cd as a bonus. I didn't think the picture was as sharp as I was hoping but I'm satisfied.

  The show was great. I actually saw it Live and was excited to see myself show up at least once. The setlist and Countdown to Extinction are amazing. I recommend this to any Megadeth fan!

  Downtuned instruments and overdubbed vocals

  I went into this knowing it could be the "Rust in Peace" Blu-ray all over again (like most buyers probably did), and I was right. The vocals are clearly overdubbed and the instruments are downtuned so Dave can sing in key. The result is a bass heavy, muddy sound that may turn some off. There are also no extras to speak of, which is pretty lame considering the price. Would only recommend this to diehard Megadeth fans.
