Background and release



Countdown to Extinction was released in 1992, and became the band's most successful record both on the charts (U.S. #2) and in sales numbers (2× platinum). The "20th anniversary tour" idea for this album follows on a similar tour in honor of the 20th anniversary of another Megadeth album, Rust in Peace (1990) and its associated live album.




Reception



Critical reaction
Fred Thomas of AllMusic commented that while the execution of the album was "surprisingly interesting", the production and feel of the original album were not present.

Commercial performance
Countdown to Extinction: Live sold about 3600 copies in the U.S. during its first week, enough to reach number 119 on the Billboard 200.
