Megadeth performed in Japan this weekend, their first time back in the country for a tour since 2017. In a worldwide livestream event, the band played at the prestigious Nippon Budokan venue, made famous for performances by Cheap Trick, Ozzy Osburne, KISS, and others. Joined by former lead guitarist Mary Friedman, who is a huge celebrity host and artist in Japan, they performed three classic Friedman-era tracks “Countdown to Extinction” (first time since 2013), “Tornado of Souls” and “Symphony of Destruction!” Marty was a member of Megadeth for 10 years and five albums and on EP, several hits from movie soundtracks, and the band had 10 million records sold in that era. The live stream was a pro-shot multi-angle concert experience with exclusive behind-the-scenes footage of the reunion with Friedman, and much more. You can still watch the rebroadcast for a few days at the link below. Watch the fan-filmed clips now:
