"DYSTOPIA" was a big hit, and they won the long-awaited Grammy Award. MEGADETH spent a truly "glorious 2017". The best video to conclude the year has been decided to be released. This work contains the "Inglewood performance on October 7, 2017". Speaking of MEGADETH this year, they came to Japan in May, and in August, the superb professional shot "WACKEN 2017 (Shades 774)" became a hot topic. First of all, let's check the show's position in the "glorious 2017" schedule.・April 29th-May 19th: Asia (10 performances) ・June 23rd-July 15th: North America #1 (17 performances) ・July 25th-August 19th: Europe (15 performances) ・September 14th-October 7th: North America #2 (16 performances) ←★Here★ ・October 29th-November 4th: South America (4 performances) The above 62 performances are live activities in 2017. Currently, MEGADETH has finished the tour and has no live performances scheduled. In the future, will new dates be announced in 2018, or will they start working on a new album? There is no room for digression. The Japan performance was realized at the beginning of the tour, and Wacken was part of the European summer festival tour. In contrast, the Inglewood performance of this work was the final performance of "North America #2", and was the last concert of 2017. This work is an audience shot of such a show. The shot was taken from the stands on the left side of the stage (near Dave Ellefson), but it was not very high and was almost at the same level as the members' line of sight. As it seems to be a front-row seat, the heads and arms of the front row are not visible at all, and the stage "only" occupies the field of view, making it an excellent viewpoint. In fact, it is quite far away, but the amazing performance of the latest digital equipment makes you forget that. Bold zooms are used frequently, and the members are shown in close-up as if they were close-ups. When you get as close as possible, you can clearly see Dave Mustaine's expression, and his bust-up fills the screen. Despite that much zoom, it is amazing because it is beautiful. Various monitors of different sizes are used behind Mustaine, and even the scanning lines are clear. Moreover, there is no blur. The video frequently goes back and forth between distant spectacle and powerful zoom, but the movement is extremely smooth and fluid. Even when it quickly switches to Kiko Loureiro during the guitar solo, it is very easy to see without any blur. It's probably the result of the latest anti-shake function, but it's still amazing. It's a beautiful image that makes you feel like you're watching a professional shot camera all the time. The beautiful image depicts a special set even in the glorious year of 2017. "North America #2" is part of the "CRAZY WORLD TOUR" coupling with SCORPIONS, and MEGADETH is the opening act. For that reason, it is a short set of about an hour, but only the best songs are condensed. In addition to "Mechanix" and "Peace Sells" from the thrash era, 2-3 songs each from "RUST IN PEACE", "COWNTDOWN TO EXTINCTION", and "CRIPTIC WRITINGS" are selected, and the new songs are only "The Threat Is Real" and "Dystopia". MEGADETH has released several best albums, but none of them are as strong as this... It's a "super best" live performance that is about to turn into powder because it's too boiled down. And because it's short, it's a full-speed run. Of course, it's not as explosive as the thrash era, but the heavy tank MEGADETH's heavy charge continues without a moment's slackening. In addition to the main footage, this work also includes a bonus live performance. This is "Peace Sells / Holy Wars... The Punishment Due" from the "September 24, 2016 San Bernardino performance". This is an audience shot from the performance at "OZZFEST", which was held only two times this year, and the quality is as high as the main footage, and the rattlehead appearance scene is perfect. MEGADETH has entered its second golden age. Will their run continue like this, or will Mustaine's bad habits cause them to stall again? Only God knows, but they will probably return as the "leader of metal" with a new masterpiece. The more I'm convinced, the more heavy, dignified and wonderful the performance of this work is. This is the "2017" that has regained its prime. Live at the Forum, Inglewood, CA. USA 7th October 2017 1. Prince of Darkness / Hangar 18 2. The Threat Is Real 3. Take No Prisoners 4. She-Wolf 5.
