Mustaine’s vision for Gigantour was to “put together a festival that consisted of positive bands that play heavy music in a high energy environment.” 2005’s inaugural Gigantour did just that and was an immense international success. **Arsenal of Megadeth**s previously unreleased concert footage from the tour, including a live performance of MEGADETH’s metal anthem, “Peace Sells.”
