October 5, 2008 - 'MEGADETH LIVE IN SAN DIEGO' (UNOFFICIAL NAME) DVD UPDATE
Megadeth.com's own Jeff Payne talked to Dave Mustaine earlier today about the upcoming live in San Diego DVD release: "I talked to Dave and he said that it is a full Megadeth concert, with Dave Mustaine, Shawn Drover, James LoMenzo, and Chris Broderick. The other four bands on Gigantour have elected to pause for now. They may reconsider, but for now Dave is focusing on Megadeth and a 'full concert' instead of just three songs and some b-roll. I've seen a couple short clips and I bet once the other groups see the finished product they will regret passing. It is going to be great."
