MEGADETH – First Night Of Gigantour In New Jersey; Photos, Setlist, Video

The 2012 version of Dave Mustaine’s resurrected Gigantour traveling cavalcade kicked off January 26th at the Susquahana Bank Arena, in Camden, NJ, which is just across the Ben Franklin bridge from center city Philadelphia (where LAMB OF GOD was playing simultaneously, siphoning off a number of the younger headbangers). Mustaine walking onstage with double neck guitar, it was into ‘Trust’, before people even sat down. ‘Hangar 18’ was up early too, the boys playing in front of scrims that featured Vic Rattlehead skull superimposed on a nuclear warning label.
