I mean tbh, without streaming services/any technology at all on a 12 hour bus ride, what could you even do back then besides reading books, listening to a cassette on one of those wonky portable players or just sleeping...
Considering Dave was fired in April 1983 and by this show in April 1984 many of Dave's best early songs are already written and being performed at a very high level. Dave certainly didn't waiste much time over that year. Going from his bus ride back to this setlist finished in just a year. It's amazing when you think about it. Megadeth is barely a year old band at this point yet Dave is already rivaling the band that fired him.
Wait... the are songs from, killing is my business-1985, Peace sells-1986 and So far... so good... so what?-1988, in this live show... This is in 1984 and he got fired from metallica in 1983... Did mustaine write songs to 3 upcoming albums In one Year??? Crazy talent!!!
@@Dani-ff6gq I would bet something like "Lucretia" or "Tornado Of Souls" one talking about Dave being haunted by a spirit and the other an emotional kind of song similar to "Last Rites/Loved To Deth". Cause Dave practiced black magic back in the day. Crazy fucker lol.
This was their third show, approximately a year and a week after he was fired from Metalliica, more than a year before they release their debut album, and their setlist spans for their debut to their third. Mustaine, what a fucking legend.
That must’ve been frustrating at the time to be a Megadeth fan…for example if you were at their very first concert and you wanted to hear their music in 1984, you could only hear it by seeing them again live Edit: or if you were lucky enough to get their demo tape, that’s another way you could’ve listened to them in 1984

+Termo VOLTAGE Most of Peace Sells is here as well. Basically all of "classic" Megadeth was already there in 1984. There must have been something in the water...
+warlhala Forgot to add that they played an early version of Into The Lungs of Hell after My Last Words :) I think the song was called Quicksand back then.
"Metallicas first two albums". Wrong. He co-wrote 4 of the most least known songs on Kill em all except for The Four horsemen. And he wrote 2 riffs on Ride the lightning out of like 100.
I don't think this song was originally written about Kirks girlfriend. When Metallica performed this (with the very same lyrics), Dave hat not yet ever met Kirk or his girlfriend. I know there are rumors that he once fucked Kirk's girl (which I think is just bragging from Dave and nothing else), but even if he really did, it would have been after this song was written.
Holy hell the first solo of 'The Skull Beneath the skin' was ABSOLUTELY KILLER. He was headbanging like a maniac while playing the solo at multiple instances.
God I know! Kerry King mentioned that in of his interviews about how Dave could be shredding a difficult solo and just looking out into the crowd like it was just some simple riff!
Dave can shred and I like his style but the finger tapping he needs to work on and also when he played with symphony he needs to know when root note starts and ends that way he could have solo'd way better and it not sound like shit. I bet Chris Broderick knows what I'm saying because he is so technical like as if he graduated guitar college lol
So awesome! Dave Mustaine really is the ultimate comeback kid! Gets thrown out of Metallica before they start to take off and goes back and forms Megadeth!! Megadeth never matched the size and popularity of Metallica, but just the fact that he started two AWESOME metal bans is unprecedented. Megadeth really were on a different level than Metallica musically. Even here. The sound is chaotic and intense but even early on you can see that the band were just a different calibre of musicians than Metallica. Again that takes nothing away from the stuff Metallica wrote, which was incredible, but Megadeth are almost like the dark horse of the thrash scene. On a different level than their peers.
And it was insanely good too! It wasn't throwaway junk... the song arrangements and riffs were all awesome. The closest that any Metallica songs came to being on par with Megadeth in that department were Ride the Lightning and Call of Ktulu, which had both Cliff and Dave being heavily involved.
Was at some of those first Bay Area Megadeth shows as a teenage rager! Saw Dave in both the Mustaine-McGov and Mustaine- Cliff metallicas (and yup saw Kirk era Exodus - opening for Dave era Metallica) so anyways… bc of my proximity in the scene I wrote Dave after he got booted. Got a page long letter back on back of a flyer, his new bands demo and a promise to put me and a friend on his guest list at an upcoming show in Palo Alto - also made it to Berkeley for this gig. Drunk off my ass on a bottle of vodka shared w 2 dudes from east bay band Sacrilege . And YES we found Dave outside the bands truck in the lot of the Stone. He was disarmingly kind and chill.
Kinda interesting fact: This concert was 1 year and 4 days after that 3 day bus trip from New York to CA. It has been said that Dave had some of the early MD songs in his back pocket even from when he was in Panic. I have gained so much respect for Dave Mustaine as a musician and songwriter. There are many Megadeth songs that are just so good and pleasing to the ear musically. One example is 'Looking Down The Cross'. Holy crap, what a good song. I really would love to know when he wrote it.
I saw Megadeth 5 days ago in İstanbul show at downstage and i can say Dave is still fuckin phenomenal shredder man! Megadeth is best in universe! Show was fuckin perfecttt and i caught a guitar pick at the ending of the show and it made me world's happiest person. ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥💯💯
This is hungry angry dave after waking up to assholes James, Lars, and Cliff. No second chance nothing and right when the poor guy wakes up.....worse time ever to do something like that but then again I'm not a morning person....
@@patrickh.1658don’t blame cliff. He didn’t make much decisions, blame Lars and James. Mustaine had no anger towards cliff and they were friends up until he died, then he wrote imo Megadeths best song.
I waa lucky enough to see them in '84. Went to see Exciter in Long Beach and these dudes opened up. Fucking kicked my ass! Good to be in Los Angeles in the early 80's. Hell Yeah!
Damn Megadeth were an absolutely incredible band! So unique...just heads and shoulders above most of the metal bands with their musicianship. Just so cool that a band could have this ferocious of a sound, such high level (yet unorthodox) musicianship, and yet be so commercially successful. Different era...
Dave Claimed to have written/inspired tracks on Master of Puppets and the more that I listen to these old recordings, the more I am convinced that he was telling the truth. The part on “Disposable Heroes” where Kirk does his chromatically descending lead is the exact same chord progression that Dave used in the Conjuring, yet the earliest demos of Disposable Heroes are from 1985, and Dave was playing that in here in this video, dated 1984.
there are riffs from every Megadeth album that were written in this time period. Dave wrote Polaris when he was in Panic. Set The World Afire was originally called Megadeth and he wrote that on his bus ride back to LA after he got kicked out of Metallica. The actual very first Megadeth song.
Tony Silva he was just filling in until they found another guitar player. Thats when Chris Poland came into the picture. But technically he was part of the band and part of one of the first Megadeth line ups.
Legend is that Kerry thought Slayer would fail after Show No Mercy, so he joined Megadeth who had a shit ton of momentum at the time, but when Slayer started to take off Kerry ditched Megadeth, or if you ask Dave he quit because he was too sloppy of a guitar player.
Still playing in a Parallel Universe! We are multidimensional beings living and experiencing the Multiverse! Everything is Energy, and Energy Never Dissipates, Never Fades, Never Dies! Soon, very soon, all will be known, until that time comes, just Party On Garth...

@@dancecat4308 It was both of those. No Time was another title for it, from the 1983 demo. So the order is Megadeath, No Time, Burnt Offerings and finally Set the World Afire.
And even "Set the World Afire" from So Far So Good...So What. All this just a year after he got kicked out of Metallica, a band he just got done writing a bunch of material with as well. I think he's co-credited with 6 Metallica songs and fully wrote the music for 2 himself. I wonder if Mustaine was the most important figure of the entire thrash movement. Metallica was considered the first thrash band and he was the guy who taught them how to play and was kind of the crowd's favorite on stage when he was in the band from what different people said in interviews who saw them back then.
@@triumphofdeath7813 at the time they were considered NWOBHM. Thrash is something that popped up in the states by bands influenced by Venom and similar.

Seeing Dave like this reminds me that you can get better. The torment in that man's mind throughout the '80s is very apparent here. One of the few genuine musicians to have made it to the top in heavy metal.
just look at his entire life everything he went through and got up every time he got knocked down very inspirational i think we should all look up to ourselves and be inspired by ourselves and look at our own lives and be inspired by our own challenges and knockbacks and be inspired to make life what we want but when talkin about others mustaine is insp irational
As pink and inaudible as this is - it still has some historical value. Thanks for posting - it reminds me of seeing them down in San Jose the same year.
Kerry King jamming!!! He played the first 5 Megadeth shows to help Dave out. So cool to had been there to check that out 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 I never saw this video before. I always heard Kerry wore his spikes at these shows? This is the 3rd show and he doesn’t have them on.
Hearing some dude yell "Kirk Hammett sucks!" before Megadeth even had their first album out, that he was known for Metallica already shows just how pivotal he was to Metallica at the time. He and Cliff were the greatest songwriting and musicianship that band ever had, honestly.
The thing with Dave was that he’s better as a rhythm guitarist than a lead. Those solos on “no life till leather” were pretty bad and very sloppy but the riffs were on another level. Kirk really gave those songs on kill em all a justice by redoing them and improvising.
WAS LUCKED TO BE AT THE MEGADETH CONCERT, IN JULY 2023, IN ESTONIA, MY ENTIRE LIFE DREAM CAME TRUE TO SEE THIS, MY FAVORITE HEAVY METAL TEAM, THE WAY THEY PRODUCED IT COMPLETELY, BEYOND WORDS, IT WAS COOL, AND WHAT A SO WAS UK, PROBABLY THE BEST THE SOUND I HAVE HEARD FROM ALL THE CONCERTS, GOD BLESS MUSTAIN.
Hetfield gets all the credit in the world but the real star was always Dave muistane. He wrote basically the whole debut album of metallica which in term gave them their stripes and after being used and thrown out of metallica he starts another band that is always hot on metallicas heels. This dude is thrash metal.
Kerry King in the band...this should be mixed, mastered and released as a live album. Probably not possible to mix and master but still would be awesome to have a live version release with a little better quality as this is one raw and ripping show from Megadeth.
Ultimate primitive. Half the songs have not taken their final forms yet. Mustaine is just ripping leads all over the place and Kerry shows us why he had to abandon the train that was called Megadeth. Who could follow that if not on speedballs?
I wish I could have lived through these times with all the rivalry and competition going on. For better or worse, it pushed everyone in that scene and around every corner was another masterpiece blowing your mind. It was like the summer of 67' for metal fans. Also, KK looks like he barely knows what he is doing with most of the songs. His fingers are going all over the place on the Conjuring but I can't hear anything from his amps. He just looks at dave and pretends to enjoy jamming haha
30:23 - dude that solo before Bad omen! No wonder that guy in the crowd said Kirk hammett sucks, No wonder Dave used to brag how he was better then Kirk to haha
It's called Quicksand; it's an early version of Into the Lungs of Hell. Megadeth actually played the song in 1985 in St. Louis; I think there's a bootleg of it on TH-cam.
I swear Dave wrote every Megadeth song in his head on the way back from NY.
Underrated comment.
I can bet too
Dave mustaine had them songs before he was in Metallica
I mean tbh, without streaming services/any technology at all on a 12 hour bus ride, what could you even do back then besides reading books, listening to a cassette on one of those wonky portable players or just sleeping...

Paid $5 to see Megadeth at the Living Room in Providence, Rhode Island, November 5, 1986. Best $5 I've ever spent in my life
How much would that be today
u lucky son of a bitch
Lucky, I saw them in Sydney Australia in 91, Won tickets on the Radio here, Best night of my life, I was 14 lol.

I got my main thrash style from dave also metallica but mostly dave tbh.
Megadeth started in 1986?
@@user-yj5oy4sw9n Nope, 83, but they blew up in the underground scene around 86
@@predatormusic2959 thanks for the educational program
He sure is. Mustaine ain't too bad himself either.
This could possibly be the best Megadeth footage I've ever seen. Never saw Dave shred like this....ever.
This is hungry angry dave after waking up to assholes James, Lars, and Cliff. No second chance nothing and right when the poor guy wakes up.....worse time ever to do something like that but then again I'm not a morning person....
@@guilhermeng4334 source?
Check the 86 show in Detroit.
Dave seems better definitely in these days. The energy is better more intense.
@@patrickh.1658don’t blame cliff. He didn’t make much decisions, blame Lars and James. Mustaine had no anger towards cliff and they were friends up until he died, then he wrote imo Megadeths best song.
this is why they used call them THE STATE OF THE ART SPEED METAL BAND!! back in the day
I had that poster.....I want to Fucking kill whoever stole it from me
Yeees ! They don't call them like that for no reason
This was a HELL of a show! And to think this was their first gig... wow!
this was their 2nd gig, they played a Troubador show with WASP that January
@@Chris-dz7fn this was their 3rd show
@@Chris-dz7fntheir 1st gig was in February, and the second one was days after. This must be their 3rd.
@@joelapilainen
4th show
The sound quality on this is surprisingly good
Dave is a very gifted musician. His personality is difficult. Love this upload 👌🏻🙏🏻
I watch this every single day
I waa lucky enough to see them in '84. Went to see Exciter in Long Beach and these dudes opened up. Fucking kicked my ass! Good to be in Los Angeles in the early 80's. Hell Yeah!
Damn Megadeth were an absolutely incredible band! So unique...just heads and shoulders above most of the metal bands with their musicianship. Just so cool that a band could have this ferocious of a sound, such high level (yet unorthodox) musicianship, and yet be so commercially successful. Different era...
Is Junior Slapping that bass!!!!?
And he shreds
We see something new everyday
The drumming on The Conjuring is absolutely amazing
13:44
Dave’s voice sounds amazing
I believe the opening song was titled "Megadeth" later to become "Set The World Afire"
"the arsenal of megadeth" (set the world afire lyrics), that makes sense!
Thanks for this historic video ;)
Wow Mustaine was only like 22 at this time. Absolutely insane.
Right before they made one of the best rock albums of all time Rust In Peace
Dave Claimed to have written/inspired tracks on Master of Puppets and the more that I listen to these old recordings, the more I am convinced that he was telling the truth. The part on “Disposable Heroes” where Kirk does his chromatically descending lead is the exact same chord progression that Dave used in the Conjuring, yet the earliest demos of Disposable Heroes are from 1985, and Dave was playing that in here in this video, dated 1984.
He had nothing to do with disposable heroes, in fact Kirk wrote most of that song.
@@deletedhero5579 wrong he wrote the bridge
@@totc6196 No he wrote the fast riff
@@deletedhero5579 let’s just say he wrote the first three albums haha
@@totc6196 I meant Kirk. Dave wrote a few early riffs nothing more haha
dave is a fucking genius.. saw megadeth this month STILL FUCKING AMAZING AND THEIR NEW ALBUM IS AWESOME
there are riffs from every Megadeth album that were written in this time period. Dave wrote Polaris when he was in Panic. Set The World Afire was originally called Megadeth and he wrote that on his bus ride back to LA after he got kicked out of Metallica. The actual very first Megadeth song.
❤
Kerry King on the other guitar!!!!
Yep
+chris michaels He played Megadeths first 5 shows.
.....don't know if he played as a band member or as a "fill-in".....either way, this is some great footage of some awesome Metal Masters.
Tony Silva he was just filling in until they found another guitar player. Thats when Chris Poland came into the picture. But technically he was part of the band and part of one of the first Megadeth line ups.
Legend is that Kerry thought Slayer would fail after Show No Mercy, so he joined Megadeth who had a shit ton of momentum at the time, but when Slayer started to take off Kerry ditched Megadeth, or if you ask Dave he quit because he was too sloppy of a guitar player.
Thats Into The Lungs of Hell at the beginning then Set the World Afire years before release.
@@markludik5207 ur right
if i had a time machine...best Megadeth show ever! Best setlist ever!
Still playing in a Parallel Universe! We are multidimensional beings living and experiencing the Multiverse!
Everything is Energy, and Energy Never Dissipates, Never Fades, Never Dies!
Soon, very soon, all will be known, until that time comes, just Party On Garth...
Lee was great on the drums he went on to Dark Angel too after this for a little while .
Dave was playing so tight. Amazing agility and doining it all blasted plus singing too.😮

this drummer was actually pretty damn good. shame he never got to do any albums.. Gar was also a badass however.
Who Is that?
@@davidperez5089 Lee Rausch. He was very good, a speed machine.
Now he is dead...
RIP Lee Rauch 🤟🏻😈🤟🏻
man i still cant belive they had set the wolrd afire written at this point , thats a killer cut from the 3rd album! dave was just firing ou the bangers at breakneck speed at that time! FUCK YEAH!
Actually set the world afire was the first song he wrote on the bus after getting fired from metallica.
@@kostasmaragkoulias5471 Used to originally have a different name, i think it was either "Burnt Offerings" or just "Megadeth"
@@dancecat4308 It was both of those.
No Time was another title for it, from the 1983 demo.
So the order is Megadeath, No Time, Burnt Offerings and finally Set the World Afire.
Lee Rausch was an amazing drummer, sadly, his tenure on the band was pretty short. R.I.P. Lee Rausch.
It’s cool how he had a lot of the second album’s songs as far back as 1984.
A couple that ended up on SFSGSW, too.
in the glory days when fans showed up and went nuts for local bands. everyone nowadays is spoiled and lazy.
Chris Jester yup
Confirmed for mever being at a local show
The problem is all the local bands suck soooo much
Yeah man, the kids these days. They need to get off my lawn and stop acting tough with their hipping hop music. Not like kids in MY DAY.
th-cam.com/video/GyUZdvvAsmQ/w-d-xo.html
that was fvckin' F I E R C E! get well soon David.
That is pure intensity
I never tire of watching Dave play guitar 👏🏻💕
Junior playing bass without a pick.......And someone got within a few inches of kicking distance @ 35:18
Never heard Dave put on a better vocal performance
If he could have kept his vocals up to this standard consistently he would be one of the best metal vocalists period
woah he had songs from peace sells already written before killing is my business even came out
And even "Set the World Afire" from So Far So Good...So What. All this just a year after he got kicked out of Metallica, a band he just got done writing a bunch of material with as well. I think he's co-credited with 6 Metallica songs and fully wrote the music for 2 himself. I wonder if Mustaine was the most important figure of the entire thrash movement. Metallica was considered the first thrash band and he was the guy who taught them how to play and was kind of the crowd's favorite on stage when he was in the band from what different people said in interviews who saw them back then.
@@AtacamaHumanoid venom was first thrash metal band
@@triumphofdeath7813 at the time they were considered NWOBHM. Thrash is something that popped up in the states by bands influenced by Venom and similar.
The Devil Island grunts and scream where so good, i wish Dave kept it for the final version. (37:26)
YES. SO GOOD. the album version intro is so much shorter and without the grunts :(. This version is so heavy raw and true
Don't think the grunts were Dave's. This was still when he was into black magick.
I know the Cliché "i was born in the wrong generation" but man i would only want to comeback to see this concert..
I can see why some people feel like Dave had a hand in creating the death metal genre.
I had no idea that he had some of the So Far So Good songs written by '84.... Mustaine is fucking nuts \M/
I think Set The World Afire was originally called “Megadeth” and he literally wrote the lyrics on the bus on the way home from Metallica kicking him out
@@themadmattster9647He wrote it on the cardboard backing of a Sno Ball.

Seeing Dave like this reminds me that you can get better. The torment in that man's mind throughout the '80s is very apparent here. One of the few genuine musicians to have made it to the top in heavy metal.
just look at his entire life everything he went through and got up every time he got knocked down very inspirational i think we should all look up to ourselves and be inspired by ourselves and look at our own lives and be inspired by our own challenges and knockbacks and be inspired to make life what we want but when talkin about others mustaine is insp irational
Thanks for posting. I've never seen this. I didn't know they had any live recordings from back then. COOL!
Megadeth was the heaviest band in the world @ that time. Kerry & Dave!?! Those guys invented thrash metal I think. Killer video
THT SOLO FROM CHOSEN ONES AHHHHHH \m/ Dave was an absolute lead God even in his early youth
exactly anyone who says mustaine isnt good on lead is crazy
long live megadeth
if only mustaine could rip this hard nowadays
Even the Mona Lisa is falling apart
God I know right? The injury Dave suffered several years ago with the nerves in his arm noticeably affected his playing.
He can still shred for being over 50, you have to give the man props for still doing it.
that's what youth and heroin does to you hehe
@@toximan2008 u didn't smoke anything harder than a j and it shows
Did he just do the love to deth intro on guitar?!! i didn't even know that was possible!!!
Blake Lindley he does it on the album too lol
Drewitall54 sounds like a piano to me
@@Drewitall54 On the album they played it on a piano
@@bencepatyi4032 piano, and then guitar comes too
As pink and inaudible as this is - it still has some historical value.
Thanks for posting - it reminds me of seeing them down in San Jose the same year.
I never knew he had this many songs already written, thats actually badass. I would kill to be at Megadeth's first shows.
This is gold. I saw them in Oakland at the Kaiser Arena in 1986 with Dio. It was a very dark and violent concert but I loved it nevertheless.
Lee Rausch, very good!
RIP
Kerry King jamming!!! He played the first 5 Megadeth shows to help Dave out. So cool to had been there to check that out 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 I never saw this video before. I always heard Kerry wore his spikes at these shows? This is the 3rd show and he doesn’t have them on.
Hearing some dude yell "Kirk Hammett sucks!" before Megadeth even had their first album out, that he was known for Metallica already shows just how pivotal he was to Metallica at the time. He and Cliff were the greatest songwriting and musicianship that band ever had, honestly.
The thing with Dave was that he’s better as a rhythm guitarist than a lead. Those solos on “no life till leather” were pretty bad and very sloppy but the riffs were on another level. Kirk really gave those songs on kill em all a justice by redoing them and improvising.
WAS LUCKED TO BE AT THE MEGADETH CONCERT, IN JULY 2023, IN ESTONIA, MY ENTIRE LIFE DREAM CAME TRUE TO SEE THIS, MY FAVORITE HEAVY METAL TEAM, THE WAY THEY PRODUCED IT COMPLETELY, BEYOND WORDS, IT WAS COOL, AND WHAT A SO WAS UK, PROBABLY THE BEST THE SOUND I HAVE HEARD FROM ALL THE CONCERTS, GOD BLESS MUSTAIN.
Hetfield gets all the credit in the world but the real star was always Dave muistane. He wrote basically the whole debut album of metallica which in term gave them their stripes and after being used and thrown out of metallica he starts another band that is always hot on metallicas heels. This dude is thrash metal.
i would sell my soul to see these guys then
46:15-47:25 MegaDeth! Megadeth! MegaDeth!
Kerry King in the band...this should be mixed, mastered and released as a live album. Probably not possible to mix and master but still would be awesome to have a live version release with a little better quality as this is one raw and ripping show from Megadeth.
Ultimate primitive. Half the songs have not taken their final forms yet. Mustaine is just ripping leads all over the place and Kerry shows us why he had to abandon the train that was called Megadeth. Who could follow that if not on speedballs?
Still, the opening lead to Skull beneath the skin that he played here was badass.
@irmasil3 YOUR HERE TOO?!?!?!?!?!🤯🤘🤯🤘🤯🤘
Glad Kerry king left he’s trash
@@Robert-White the 80s was his prime
@@holdenmcgroin5003 That's what he said though
Wow. I'd always heard Kerry King had a short stint in Megadeth but seeing it is amazing. Nice video!
I wish I could have lived through these times with all the rivalry and competition going on. For better or worse, it pushed everyone in that scene and around every corner was another masterpiece blowing your mind. It was like the summer of 67' for metal fans. Also, KK looks like he barely knows what he is doing with most of the songs. His fingers are going all over the place on the Conjuring but I can't hear anything from his amps. He just looks at dave and pretends to enjoy jamming haha
30:23 - dude that solo before Bad omen! No wonder that guy in the crowd said Kirk hammett sucks, No wonder Dave used to brag how he was better then Kirk to haha
It's called Quicksand; it's an early version of Into the Lungs of Hell. Megadeth actually played the song in 1985 in St. Louis; I think there's a bootleg of it on TH-cam.
Es impresionante su velocidad y agresividad para tocar y cantar al mismo tiempo.... Un monstruo absoluto!!!
Com certeza !!!!❤ Forte abraço caro amigo metal ❤
Ah! Used to have a bootleg Dvd of this, great to have this here. Going have me some beers and crank this later Lolz.
