After having recently reviewed their previous concert DVD, Rude Awakening, I feel compelled to discuss That One Night: Live In Buenos Aires.
Filmed in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 2005, it was a concert that almost never happened. Why? Because Megadeth disbanded in 2002, after Dave Mustaine suffered nerve damage to his left arm. But two years later, with his physical therapy completed, Dave planned to do a solo album. However, contractual obligations required him to do another Megadeth album, so the band was resurrected (minus original bassist Dave Ellefson). The group then recorded a new studio album titled The System Has Failed, which was released in September 2004.
In addition to Mega-classics such as "Hangar 18," "Wake Up Dead," "A Tout Le Monde," "In My Darkest Hour," and "Peace Sells," the set list included "I'll Be There" (from their 1999 album, Risk) and "Coming Home to Argentina," both of which Megadeth dedicated to the audience. The main drawback of the show was the absence of bassist Dave Ellefson. Instead, James MacDonough was the bass player for the band's concert tour (the 2007 live album - also titled "That One Night: Live In Buenos Aires" - is the only Megadeth album to feature MacDonough on bass). But overall, it is a wonderful concert DVD.
