That One Night: Live in Buenos Aires

That One Night: Live in Buenos Aires is a live album from American heavy metal band Megadeth which was released on CD and DVD formats. It features a live concert recorded in Buenos Aires on October 9, 2005 at the Obras Sanitarias Stadium. The performance is segued by cuts of Dave and Glen performing a few acoustic songs for some fans on the lawn outside of the band's hotel. It was at this concert that Dave Mustaine announced that Megadeth would continue on past the 2005 tour.

An iTunes version of the album is now available as well. This version included three more songs not featured in the DVD ("Skin O' My Teeth", "Die Dead Enough" and "Angry Again").

There are also four currently unreleased songs from the performance, missing from either the CD or DVD version: ("The Scorpion", "Train of Consequences", "Of Mice and Men" and "Sweating Bullets"). The 2 CD version was released on September 4, 2007. It was originally intended to be released at the same time as the DVD. It was certified gold in the US for a shipping of 50,000 units. This is the only release by Megadeth to feature bassist James MacDonough. (wiki)

In the best scene of Metallica's overblown Some Kind of Monster documentary, Dave Mustaine admits to Lars Ulrich that he feels like he's always coming in second place to his former band. But in reality, Mustaine has for many years fronted one of metal's most popular and enduring bands, Megadeth, who still release strong-selling albums and are able to headline large venues. Case in point, their live release, That One Night: Live in Buenos Aires. Originally issued as a DVD, this audio portion chronicles a performance from 2005 at Obras Stadium in Buenos Aires, before 25,000 rabid fans. As evidenced by several previous live rock/metal DVDs by other artists (especially Rush's Rush in Rio), fans way down south are an exuberant bunch -- not only singing along to the lyrics, but managing to sing along to the riffs, as heard here on such standouts as the long-lost "Set the World Afire," "Wake Up Dead," and "Hangar 18." But they really go bonkers during the closing trio of the band's best-known tracks -- "Symphony of Destruction," "Peace Sells," and "Holy Wars." Megadeth have long been considered one of the most precise and tight thrash bands, and That One Night: Live in Buenos Aires offers further hard proof to this claim.
