DVD Review: "That One Night - Live in Buenos Aires" - Megadeth (2007)


Controversial, resilient, and currently on tour across Canada with Black Sabbath Heaven and Hell, Megadeth turns in a solid, workmanlike set in this just-released October 2005 show. Nothing fancy here - just a stack of Marshalls, quasi-melodic speed metal and Dave Mustaine's unique vocal delivery, which can only be likened to what the constipated, mutant child of Geddy Lee and Nelly Furtado would sound like - an acquired taste, to be sure, but you wouldn't know it from the thousands of rabid Argentinians who sing the riffs for tunes like "Symphony of Destruction" and "Hangar 18" right back at the band. Also cool are the scenes of band members pullin' up a piece of grass outside of their hotel and going acoustic on the spot.

Definitely worth a look if you can find it at a reasonable price like I did - $12 at Future Shop.

Overall rating: 7.5/10
