Megadeth

In July 1999, Megadeth took the stage at Woodstock '99, where they performed 'Angry Again' amidst a backdrop of cultural chaos. At this time, Megadeth had released their album 'Cryptic Writings' just two years earlier, in 1997, which showcased a more melodic sound yet retained the band's signature thrash metal roots. An interesting facet of this performance is how it epitomized the band's evolution—a striking contrast to their earlier, rawer work while still engaging the fervent crowd. This live recording captures a moment where Megadeth was solidifying their place in rock history, navigating their legacy as pioneers of heavy metal and still pushing musical boundaries. 'Angry Again' itself, a track from the 'Last Action Hero' soundtrack, resonates as a powerful anthem, making it a perfect fit for the energetic Woodstock festival.
