Megadeth Wakes Up The Crowd in CT

Megadeth is the headlining act on the Gigantour, which includes other the other notable acts Motörhead, Volbeat and Lacuna Coil.  The second stop of the tour brought the band to the Mohegan Sun Arena in Connecticut on January 27, 2012.

The band’s set was an awesome mix of songs from their extensive catalog, including “Wake Up Dead” from 1986′s Peace Sells… but Who’s Buying?, “Hangar 18″ from 1990′s Rust in Peace, and “Symphony of Destruction” from 1992′s Countdown to Extinction.  They also played three songs (in a row) from the their latest release TH1RT3EN; “Public Enemy No. 1,” “Whose Life (Is It Anyways?),” and “Guns, Drugs & Money.”

Megadeth owns any venue they play.  Not only do they blow the roof off with their powerful sound, but they are a commanding presence on the stage… a photographer’s dream.  Nothing beats going out to see a great band, especially one that shows their appreciation to fans by putting on a tremendous performance.
