Haha, Dave was 27 years old at the time and he looked like he was 17 or 18

[@vicrattlehead6386]

He's still looked young in big 4 tour, I mean the other guys on that tour looks much older than him lol. He started to look old around Super collider era, most likely due to neck surgery and lyme disease.

well... yeah

[@michaelgraham9774]

Benjamín Ignacio Bruna I kinda like Marty's live rendition of it better than the original. Jeff's solo on set the world afire is better than this one imo.

Ah yes, my favourite Megadeth song. Devil's Island. Apart from that, STUNNING. Rest in peace, Cliff

well, they were all better technically, absolutely. however I love dave's nasty-mean phrasing and intensity. Dave has more balls than anyone as a lead player imo.

Devils island sounds different lol

Yeah man I never hear this version of devils Island before.

[@JESNnsej]

Ahhhh ok. Now I understand.

[@whoknowswhodoesnt]

Dave's biceps has greatly improved since back then, other skills and talent remain unchanged at a sky high level! Megadeth forever!

[@antkowiak666]

I saw them in 88 open for DIO.....awesome show!!

[@MatheusHenrique-dl8bb]

Everyone talks about marty, but man o man, Jeff Young is a beast this solo is so fucking badass

[@bonusduckmann9997]

Tight performance. Daves parts are actually really fun to play and Jeffs solo was really quite good

[@mikeortiz9664]

3:12 is honestly my favorite riff it's soo fun

[@LS-oq3qh]

The person who wrote that Megadeth was playing Devil's Island was probably much more drunk that Dave Mustaine playing at this concert.

[@deowarsoul]

5:39 So fucking epic....

[@LucasBortoliniKuhn]

congratulations, man, you made the only solo known by mankind that Chris Broderick can't play 100% equal to the original.

[@cobaingrohlnovo]

Broderick: “ERROR CPU OVER HEAT IMMINENT”

[@-cfh-architector7963]

Dave Legendary Guitar Sound

[@mattlocked]

They were clearly in their prime here. Although it took Marty and Nick to bring their best incarnation. Awesome show anyway, one of their best for sure.

[@rogerparsons2474]

Chris and Gar all the way bud! They were more unique players then Marty and Nick.

[@Leatherface123.]

@@rogerparsons2474 considering Chris & Gar had played together for years before, they had a special chemistry seen in no other lineup

[@yaqubebased1961]

Gar would've given Dave Lombardo a serious run for his money had he sobered up. He knew improv, and had swing.

[@rambobrown9661]

you know, in my darkest opinion, maybe only jeff that could nailed that solo really good, but still... its just in my opinion

[@Michael-uw3lk]

Well I think he did write it haha. So yes, I agree

[@MrMetalclay]

Its kind of the same with every other band member that's been in Megadeth and gone. They get a couple years of playing the song in its best form, then the line up changes and the song kinda sucks live, it's almost like groove juice for Dave's vocals. This is the best performance I've found of this song, I checked out one from 92 and from 2010, not even close to this.

[@ali965]

That RIP Cliff at the end🥲

[@srncet]

He said rest in peace cliff at the end .... Says it all .... This song was written for cliff burton

[@YourEx..]

Cliff.. its so tragic, to this day..

[@yoelpixuloide]

that song at that time was not yet released

[@orlandoking]

Devils Island! fuck yeah! XD

[@ChristianSchuhan]

One of the most interesting metal songs ever. Highly sophisticated rhythm changes and tonality. Never been that much of a Megadeth fan but this song always gave me the goose bumps. Exceptional lyrics, which is also highly unusual for a metal song.

[@polonizalomevero]

rest in peace cliff :´)

[@dathorndike4908]

I sure miss these days when Megadeth could thrash.

[@Parker_Kirch24]

Come here to remember cliffs death we lost a legend on this day

[@darcybrooke1391]

The best of "In my darkest hour live"

[@YourMentalHeadFriend]

This is the only song i listened to today on repeat after remembering how on me and my partners 2nd year anniversary said how he has had better girlfriends whilst on a date and apparently today is the day she died and i cant help but remember all the times ive been compared to someone and how theyre always better than me, how many of my past partners went off with someone else, this song is the only thing keeping me from breaking down into a suicidal mess, i can't believe i got campared to a corpes on ojr 2nd year anniversary and she's still and always will be better than me

[@doodoodan]

Happy 58th Birthday Cliff you get to spend it with your brother your mother and your father once again

[@lunchboxtoothpick3775]

Why is it that even if dave solos aren't as complex or fast, they always sound way cooler and faster And thrasyer then like the lead

[@buceadorcosmico8218]

He is one of the best soloers in thrash escene. Most of them are souless. Testament have some epic ones, also almost any Megadeth lead guitar

[@AdrenaLukeYT]

[@hvdgamed]

probably my favorite live performance of this song

[@lotyuks]

Rest in peace, Cliff

[@MrMetalclay]

This is their best performance of this song that I've found so far on KZbin. I think it has to do with the line up changes.

[@kevinryan6366]

I love Jeff’s guitar tone!

[@BAKERXVIII]

The "time has a way of taking time" section is seriously one of Mustaines most impressive rhythm sections and I've been listening for a too long... He is playing a line that has around 12 different power chords change around the whole fretboard, and his singing is NOT keeping rhythm with the guitar which is seriously hard to do if you aren't proficient especially in this situation. Many people pay their respects to Holy Wars, saying how impossibly impressive it is to sing and play his guitar work but I beg to differ. Holy Wars is managable, it's a bitch but THIS is a whole 'nother beast.

in my darkest hour is my all time favorite megdeth song off so far so good so what! and I just got one of the shirts I heard this song when megadeth played boston the end of last year and hadn't heard it performed in some years we also got set the world on fire thats my second favorite song so far so good so what! I really hope that Dave will continue to play these songs at future megadeth shows because I never had the chance to see the early Dave Mustaine years peace sells and so far so good so what! or Rust in Peace!
