 Date: July 8, 1998
 Time: 51:48
 Size: 1 CD

 Sound: SDB A-/B+    FM Broadcast
 Notes: Finally, after having this recording for about 7 years in mp3, in the end of 2008 it was released in lossless and moreover it turned out that what i had was even incomplete! Here are the comments of the guy who made it public:
 "Lineage: FM > Tape > PC via Audacity v1.2.6 > FLAC Level 6 > CDR.
Megadeth was part of OzzFest 98, which played in Mansfield, MA on July 7th and 9th. On the day off in between, the band came to the Boston to play a special acoustic show at the Hard Rock Cafe. It was sponsored by local radio station WAAF 107.3, and John Osterlind, a DJ from the station, MC'ed the event, asking questions between songs. There's a small cut in the final commentary track (for lack of a better term) where the tape was flipped, but very litte was missed. This is a 10 year old recording, so it may not be what you'd expect from an FM source. but it's still pretty damn good.
I've been looking for a CD copy of this for a long time, but none of the bootleg sites I saw had this listed which makes me think no else ever released this to the public, so here's my copy. This was a fairly special show in Megadeth history as it was during this show that Jimmy DeGrasso was officially announced as the band's new drummer.
Megadeth: Dave Mustaine - Vocals, Guitar, David Ellefson - Bass, Backing Vocals, Marty Friedman - Guitar, Backing Vocals, Jimmy DeGrasso - Percussion, Backing Vocals."
I remastered the sound a little to make the channels more even, and raised the overall sound a lil'. Anyways, Megadeth unplugged shows are really cool to listen! Highly recommended!
