Awakenings

Awakenings

Shot in the fall of 2001 on the group's final tour, Megadeth's Rude Awakening catches a seminal metal band at the top of its game. Although references to the then-recent terrorist events are rare, they instill songs like "In My Darkest Hour," "Symphony of Destruction," and "Peace Sells" with an undercurrent of bitterness, laced with the anger that's already there. Singer-songwriter Dave Mustaine is a charismatic figure, and one of speed metal's most literate elder statesman, as demonstrated by his astute, witty comments in the DVD's brief interview section. Also on the DVD, the 105-minute concert is augmented by additional footage of five tunes (including "Kill the King" and "A Tout le Monde," dedicated to the victims of the September 11 attacks), shot in grainy black and white. Rude Awakening is the first official Megadeth live concert release, and if it's also the last, it will remain a testament to the band's durability and musical ability. --Kevin Filipski

Mrs. Lowe:
My son is in pain! Please, stop this!

Dr. Sayer:
He's fighting, Mrs. Lowe.

Mrs. Lowe:
He's losing.

Beth:
Miriam! I have to take your blood pressure!

Miriam:
I've been sitting still for 25 years. You missed your chance.

Mrs. Lowe:
When my son was born healthy, I never asked why. Why was I so lucky? What did I do to deserve this perfect child, this perfect life? But when he got sick, you can bet I asked why! I demanded to know why! Why was this happening?

Dr. Sayer:
I'm sorry, if you were right, I would agree with you.

Lucy:
I can't imagine being older than 22. I've no experience at it. I know it's not 1926. I just need it to be.

Margaret:
Miriam, there's no easy way to tell you this, so - your husband - he was granted a divorce from you in 1952.

Miriam:
Oh, thank God!

Dr. Sayer:
You'd think all of these "atypical" somethings would add up to a typical something.

Dr. Sayer:
You told him I was a kind man. How kind is it to give life, only to take it away?

Eleanor:
It's given to and taken away from all of us.

Dr. Sayer:
Why does that not comfort me?

Eleanor:
Because you are a kind man. Because he's your friend.

Leonard Lowe:
It's quiet.

Dr. Malcolm Sayer:
Yes, everybody's sleeping.

Leonard Lowe:
I'm not.

Dr. Sayer:
Where are my glasses?

Eleanor:
They're on your face.

Leonard Lowe:
Hello. My name is Lenord Lowe. It has been explained to me that I've been away for a long time.I'm back.

Dr. Malcolm Sayer:
She borrows the will of the ball.

Nurse Beth:
Dr. Sayer

Dr. Sayer:
What is it?

Nurse Beth:
It's a f***ing miracle
