Megadeth bassist David Ellefson has posted behind-the-scenes and performance footage from the band’s appearance this past Sunday [October 14] at the second and final day of Bacardi NH7 Weekender‘s Delhi chapter in India. Check it out below.
In an interview with Hindustan Times conducted prior to the gig, Megadeth drummer Shawn Drover said, “We will be playing songs from the new album that we’ve released, but we also play the classics and the songs our fans love.”
“We haven’t ever played in New Delhi before and whenever we travel to a new place, we like to go out and explore it a little. We’re very excited about going to New Delhi and playing a great concert,” he added.
The 20th-anniversary edition of Megadeth‘s 1992 double platinum-certified Countdown To Extinction album will be released on November 6 via Capitol/EMI.
Megadeth will perform the acclaimed album in its entirety on their Countdown To Extinction 20th Anniversary Tour this November and December. Tour dates are listed below.
Presented in a 2CD lift-top box and digitally, Countdown To Extinction‘s new commemorative edition pairs the remastered original album with a 1992 concert, recorded live at San Francisco’s Cow Palace, which has never before been released in its entirety. The concert audio has been newly remixed for this release. The physical and digital versions both include a booklet with a new liner notes essay by music journalist Kory Grow, and the 2CD box also contains a 24″ x 36″ poster and four collectible postcards.
