MEGADETH Performs Full Version Of '1,320'' For First Time In Perth; Video Available

October 13, 2009

MEGADETH played a full version of the new song "1,320'" for the first time earlier tonight (Tuesday, October 13) at Challenge Stadium in Perth, Australia (the group performed an instrumental version of the track in Adelaide two days earlier).

Fan-filmed video footage of the Perth performance can be viewed below.

MEGADETH's setlist was as follows:

01. Set The World Afire
02. Wake Up Dead
03. Hangar 18
04. Skin O' My Teeth
05. Head Crusher
06. She-Wolf
07. In My Darkest Hour
08. Tornado Of Souls
09. 1,320'
10. Rattlehead
11. Symphony Of Destruction
12. Peace Sells
------------------
13. Holy Wars

The Perth concert was the final show of the MEGADETH and SLAYER New Zealand/Australia tour, which kicked off on October 5 at Logan Campbell Centre in Auckland, New Zealand.

MEGADETH's new album, "Endgame", sold 45,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 9 on The Billboard 200 chart. The CD shifted 8,200 units in Canada to land at No. 4 on the country's official chart.

MEGADETH's previous CD, "United Abominations", opened with around 54,000 copies in the U.S. to debut at No. 8. This was more than the 46,000 first-week tally registered by its predecessor, "The System Has Failed" (which landed at No. 18 on The Billboard 200 chart),and was a bit less than the 61,000 opening number of 2001's "The World Needs A Hero" (No. 16).

"Endgame" was recorded at MEGADETH's brand new, self-built studio in San Marcos, California — Vic's Garage — which was named after the legendary and iconic Vic Rattlehead character. The CD was helmed by MEGADETH mainman Dave Mustaine and British producer Andy Sneap (EXODUS, NEVERMORE, ARCH ENEMY, MACHINE HEAD).
