Megadeth plays to a capacity crowd at Austin 360 Amphitheater. Tuesday, September 10, 2013. Usually, The slot set aside before the headliner goes on stage is reserved for up 'n comers, those artists and bands looking for exposure in order to build a fan base. And usually, sadly enough, the venue is filled with just a smattering of early arriving, over-excited fans simply waiting for the headliner to take the stage. In no way was this the case at Austin 360 Amphitheater on Tuesday night. By the time Megadeth took the stage at 7:30 the venue was almost to capacity. Austin traffic conditions are probably to blame for the place not being filled. The early arriving fans were treated to a hot-Texas sun and blistering riffs provided by Dave Mustaine and company. Although Mustaine's demeanor onstage doesn't match the pulsating Megadeth music he clearly seems to enjoy shredding the faces of the Megadeth fans pressed up against the retaining fence with fists clinched over their heads. For as low-key as Mustaine seems to be onstage, the Megadeth music falls into the complete opposite end of the spectrum. Heavy, fast and furious!
