Gigantour

Far behind on the postings so here's some to keep ya held over. First up is the Dave Mustaine created festival Gigantour. Founded in 2005, the touring festival has toured sporadically through the US and overseas. The festival features bands hand picked by Mustaine that showcase guitar playing as well as high energy performances. Over the years the lineup has included bands like Megadeth, Dream Theater, Overkill, Opeth, Into Eternity, Arch Enemy, Fear Factory, Life of Agony, Nevermore, Motorhead and Lacuna Coil. There have been releases of the first two Gigantour tours on CD/DVD. I decided to go with the Vol. 2 here which features, The SmashUp, Sanctity, Into Eternity, Opeth, Arch Enemy, Overkill, Lamb Of God and Megadeth. Solid mix of songs from all the bands here. Worth a listen for some live cuts that weren't released anywhere else.
