MEGADETH achieved great success in 1992, when their song "COUNTDOWN TO EXTINCTION" reached number 2 in the United States. Introducing a super powerful live album that allows you to experience the best of the climax. What is infused into this work is “Paris performance on September 22, 1992”. This is the best audience recording. Speaking of the ``COUNTDOWN TO EXTINCTION Tour'', it was a huge success, but at the same time, it is also memorable for the fact that they had to stop their activities midway through due to a recurrence of drug problems, and wasted their chance to rise to the top of the scene. First of all, let’s check the show’s position from the schedule at that time. 1992/May 22nd - July 14th: Warm-up (4 performances)《``COUNTDOWN TO EXTINCTION'' released on July 14th》/September 12th - October 27th: Europe #1 (34 performances)← ★Coco★・October 31st - December 31st: North America #1a (36 performances) ← *LIVE AT COW PALACE 1993・January 3rd - February 12th: North America #1b (19 performances) - Suspended - × April 30th - May 10th: Japan (7 performances: canceled!) - Activity resumed - June 3rd - 22nd: Europe #2 (7 performances) - June 26th - July 19th : North America #2 (12 performances) This is MEGADETH in 1992/1993. The Paris performance of this work is also the beginning. This was the 7th concert of "Europe #1". If you are interested in this, you are an avid collector. Yes, speaking of France in 1992, "MULHOUSE 1992" is a standard at our store, but this work is released two days later. It was just the next stage. This work, which is a vacuum-packed version of such a show, has a truly superb audience...or should I say, it has a super vivid and clear sound that will make even the FM broadcasts around there run away barefoot. As a matter of fact, the recording itself has been around for a long time, but this work is an upgraded master that was recently discovered. Although the exact gene has not been clarified, since the previous master was the 1st gene, it is thought that this work is the original or the 1st gene of a different system. It is clear that it is an upgrade master because it has been recorded longer than before from the start of the show, but that is just evidence. Its true value is a very thick and close powerful sound! The sharp riffs are so clear that they swell, and the bass and vocals sink into your ears without any time lag, with no sense of distance at all. The sound of the snare, which easily shows the audience-like quality, has no sense of space, and the question "Is this really the audience!?" is running around in my head. I mentioned “MULHOUSE 1992” earlier, but even though the show is recent, the sound is completely incomparable. If there was any proof that “this is the original”, it is a transcendent sound that would have been made into a permanent preservation press. What is drawn with such a high-class direct sound is a full show that is full of deliciousness at its peak. As mentioned earlier, this work is the 7th performance since the tour started in earnest. My body got used to the daily shows and new songs, and it was time for me to start working at full capacity. Of course, there has been no recurrence of the drug habit that would have changed their fate, and the band's potential has reached its peak. Moreover, there are plenty of new songs from the famous album ``COUNTDOWN TO EXTINCTION'' that approaches the essence of heavy metal. Speaking of the pinnacle of this tour, "LIVE AT COW PALACE" was made official in the 20th anniversary edition "COUNTDOWN TO EXTINCTION", but this work is a similar but different set. Let's compare and organize them here. Last in Peace (4 songs) / Holy Wars... The Punishment Due / Hangar 18 / Lucretia / Tornado Of Souls Countdown to Ruin (7 songs) / Skin O' My Teeth / Foreclosure Of A Dream / Sweating Bullets / High Speed Dirt (★) / Countdown To Extinction / Ashes In Your Mouth / Symphony Of Destruction Others (6 songs) - Killing Is My Business: Mechanix (★) - Peace Sells / Wake Up Dead - So・Far So Good: In My Darkest Hour/Anarchy In Paris ・Others: Go To Hell (★) *Note: Songs marked with “★” cannot be heard on the official “LIVE AT COW PALACE”. ...and it looks like this. All the albums up to this point are masterpieces, so there is no way that the best set will be bad. All of the ``COUNTDOWN TO EXTINCTION'' numbers seem to be famous, and the seven songs were a big hit at the time. Songs such as “Foreclosure Of A Dream” and “Countdown To Extinction” were not played much on later tours and are surprisingly valuable, and “High Speed Dirt” is a treasure that cannot be heard even in the sister work “MULHOUSE 1992”. And another new song “Go To Hell”. This number was provided for the movie "Bill and Ted's Journey to Hell," but it is an extremely rare song that has only been played one of the few times in the entire history of MEGADETH. You can fully enjoy all of it with the best sound. From fast-paced metal to the invention of a new era of heavy metal. It was a path that many thrash bands attempted at that time, but I think only ``BLACK ALBUM'' and ``COUNTDOWN TO EXTINCTION'' succeeded. What emerges from this work is a live performance in which the band potential that achieved such a feat was blown up with stage tension. METALLICA's climax tour left behind a large amount of soundboards, but MEGADETH did not. A superb full live album that will soothe your teeth. The best audience recording of "September 22, 1992 Paris Performance". The recording itself has been around for a long time, but this work is an upgraded master that was recently discovered. Extremely thick and powerful sound that will make you run away barefoot from the FM broadcasts around here! The sharp riffs swell, and the rhythm section and vocals sink into your ears without any time lag. There is absolutely no sense of distance, and it is so amazing that you can only think, "Is this really the audience?" At the show at the beginning of the tour, the band's potential that created the famous album ``COUNTDOWN TO EXTINCTION'' is still intact, and there are many valuable new songs such as ``High Speed Dirt'' and ``Go To Hell.'' This is a valuable album that allows you to fully experience the peak tour that was interrupted due to the recurrence of the drug problem.
