Here is the live Megadeth album! And there is two sides of it: one is the good side: a lot of songs played live with an acceptable sound (even if the guitars can be better ) and all the strength that Megadeth has, and also they have all original material with no covers, then the bad thing : I would have liked them to mix better the album and also I would have changed some of the tracks from "The World Needs a Hero" for some of the ones that they used to play in other tours like for example "502" or "Skin of My Teeth". But with as many good songs as Megadeth has it is almost impossible to satisfy everybody. I hope this guys reunite and make albums like "Rust In Peace", "Peace Sells" or "Countdown to Extinction" soon.

Favorite tracks: "In My Darkest Hour", "Hangar 18", "Tornado of Souls" and "Peace Sells"
