Rust in Peace Live is a live album by American heavy metal band Megadeth, released in 2010 through Shout! Factory in Blu-ray, DVD, and CD formats. Filmed at the Hollywood Palladium on March 31, 2010, the performance showcases Megadeth's 1990 album, Rust in Peace played in its entirety with the same background that was featured on the original "Rust in Peace" tour. The release was in celebration for the 20th anniversary of Rust in Peace and it is the first Megadeth release since 2002's Rude Awakening to feature bassist Dave Ellefson.[1]

Furthermore, Roadrunner Records submitted the album to consideration for Best Rock Album at the 53rd Grammy Awards.[2] If it was to be nominated, it would be Megadeth's ninth nomination and their first in the category, being nominated eight times previously for Best Metal Performance.[3]

As of April 2011, about 19,000 copies of the DVD have been sold in the U.S.[4]

Conception

Rust in Peace was released in 1990 and entered the Billboard 200 at number 23,[5] and was eventually certified platinum by the RIAA in 1992.[6] Music critics praised the album; Sputnik Music described it as a "thrash classic",[7] while Steve Huey of Allmusic wrote that the album was "easily Megadeth's strongest musical effort".[8] The positive reception of the album lead the band to announce a "Rust in Peace 20th Anniversary Tour". The tour began on March 1 as a month-long North American tour with support from Testament and Exodus.[9]
