Darren Pope for Examiner.com has posted the following concert review: "The thrash metal icons are currently touring in support of the 20th Anniversary rerelease of what many consider to Megadeth's definitive album, "Countdown To Extinction". On Saturday, the band brought the tour to the Myrtle Beach House of Blues, and it was phenomenal. ...If you didn't make it to this show, you missed one of the best metal shows you could ever hope to see. The sound, the visuals, and the overall production were as close to flawless as you could get. To see a band of Megadeth’s magnitude at such an intimate venue was really something special."

Chad Hobbs for Examiner.com has posted the following concert review: "Metal-heads united in Columbus last night for the celebration of 20 years since the release of Megadeth’s smash album "Countdown To Extinction".
