Customer Reviews: Total numer of reviews: 59 Average rating: 4.5 "MEGADETH 4 LIFE" Although recentnly the band has broken up and will not be playing anymore i must say that this dvd kicks [behind]. Great camera angles,excellent playing by every memeber and a very interesting set list of songs. The dvd extras are realy cool to. If there was one thing wrong it was that they should have played more stuff from RUST IN PEACE & COUNTDOWN TO EXTINCTION. All in all very good live show .... So just buy it!!!!!! It is sad that megadeth is gone now, but we will have there albums and this DVD to remeber what METAL is all about PEACE OUT "Megashow by Megadeth here @ home.." This DVD has to be the best live concert I've ever seen recorded. One, because of the well-planned angles and the Dolby 5.1 Digitally Enhanced audio, and two, because I got to experience the concert first hand. I lucked out big time because they were originally going to film the show in Argentina, but finally decided last minute that they would be filming it at home in Phoenix, Arizona. The crowd was a mere 2,000-3,000 but we had the energy of a small army when Megadeth hit the stage (and I was in the front of the pack). We all knew we had to show, not only Megadeth, but all of the Megafans what Phoenix was really made of. This show is a non-stop, continuous rush of energy that only gets better everytime you watch it. The first day I picked this up I watched it twice, and if it wasn't for school the next day I would've watched it again. Do yourself a favor and order it from online because it has been sold out everywhere, I had to drive 40 miles around town to get a copy the first day it came out. Not to mention, this is Megadeth's last show and most likely will be a collectors item for years to come. With timeless classics like A Tout Le Monde, Peace Sells, Holy Wars and even Symphony of Destruction, plus extended solos such as the 3 minute drum solo in She-Wolf. It brings me back to the days when metal was metal, and bands didn't bow to trends or sell out like they do by the dozen today. I guarantee you won't regret it because it's worth every penny. "Sorry for the wrong information..." In my earlier review I did mention that few of the songs are not inside the DVD. I was wrong as those songs I mentioned earlier can be found in the special feature in the chapter Underground Megadeth Concert. I am sorry Dave for writing wrong information on the DVD. "Buy 2, you may need em'!" Just SLAMMIN! I bought 2 cause this is so ... HOT the 1st one is bound to burn up, and if not I don't want to chance someone stealing it! I've been a fan since they started and have waited a long time for this. MegadetH is by far the best heavy guitar band ever. I play, I know. Tight...! What they do is so incredible and to see them do it live just blows me away! The venue in the DVD is very similar to Holiday Star in IN. where I saw them so it's like I'm watching the show all over. Just Killer. The set list covers so much of their best work. I have many music DVDs and NONE compare to this one! I have to go order the CD now... gotta go! P.S. We must believe...they WILL be back! "Braindead reviewers..." yes, ALL the songs are on the dvd... but for some reason, 5 of the songs are in the "special features" area of the DVD...some reviewers obviously don't know how to work their DVD players. Anyways... this is a great DVD and swan song for the band. Who would have thought the band would be over about 2 months after making this DVD. The track listing is very cool with the exception of a few glaring omissions("Motopsycho", "Prince of Darkness") "Train of Consequences" should've been left out cos the song just plain stinks when played live.. the music is muddled and Dave's singing is pretty raggedy on it but other than that, this DVD is worth buying. Now... hopefully, due to the unfortunate circumstances, David Ellefson will join Metallica! Long live Megadeth. Good luck Dave.
