Has anyone ever seen Anthrax live?

[KillerB]

If so, when? I got to see them in '05 with Joey with my dad. It was the same show recorded for the Alive 2 DVD. I also saw them last year on the Jägermeister tour. I wish I got the chance to see them at least once with Bush.

 

[Stormwatch]

I saw them on the POT tour with Maiden, in Edinburgh, it was fuckin' great!

Your dad played with them?? Thats awsome!! Sorry couldn't resist...

I have seen them with John Bush twice and Joey twice, but all in the last 10 years. I wish I could have seen them in their heyday...

1989 SOE-Tour with Suicidal Tendencies, Hamburg, Dock`s: great, still one of my 5 favourite concerts of all time

1990 (91?) POT-Tour supporting Maiden, Hannover, Eilriedenhalle: awesome

199X Stomp-Tour, was it with Galactic Cowboys? I can´t remember, did not like the support at all. Hamburg, Markthalle: good, not great, the classics-medley sucked and I did not really find that Paul Crook fitted the band.

2003 WCFYA-Tour, Sweden Rock Festival: great again, full return to power, beside Twisted Sister my highlight of that festival

2006 Reunion Tour: I felt so young again...:zombie:, Joey was in very good shape, fun to see Dan Spitz back in the band

2009: Wacken Open Air: Did not happen due to Dan Nelsons departure I´m afraid they won´t be there this year either, playing Sonisphere instead

Johnnie, the pre-WCFYA Munich show with Motörhead was in Oct. 2002, i was there, their performance was great but unfortunately they had technical problems and an old fart close to me punched around like a maniac, he had fun punching the stage divers, i bet he just went there to hurt some people.

 

[mrthrax]

first time i saw them was on stomp tour saw them in sydney and woolongong back to back,they didnt tour here for sown so it was a long time coming,dont think they got here for volume 8 either,saw them twice on wcfya tour,and a year later i got to see belladonna lineup for first time ever on reunion tour wich was quite amazing,that was my dream to hopefully c the classic line up one day.

even cooler is in the handful of times ive seen them its been a diff lineup each tour,saw crook,joet vera,buch,belladonna etc,pretty cool to c diff versions.

I've been to all of those!

90 - POT supporting Maiden, fucking ace!
93 - SOWN at the Barra's (??), Potters Field opener, brilliant.
95 - Stomp at the Garage. After failing to sell enough for the Barras, Bush said "you wanted sto see us somewhere smaller, so here we are" (or words to that effect)
02 - Clyde Auditorium with M/head. Played Superhero, first time with Rob.
03 - WCFYA Barras - awesome, took me three days to recover.
03 / 04 - WCFYA at the Garage, twice, three times?? Once with Joey Vera. All great.
05 - Reunion twice. still great. Nice seeing Danny back on stage.

I also saw them at the Playhouse and Barras on SOE.

 

[ironmaidenfan09]

I have seen them a bunch of times. The ones that stand out are

Anthax with Maiden in 91
Anthrax with Public Enemy
Anthrax on The Clash of The Titans
SOWN tour headlining
3 Reunion tours - All stellar, one had Jason Bitner from Shadows Fall on drums which during war dance had the biggest pit I'd ever seen in 35 year of being a metal fan.
Anthrax / Slayer/ Megadeth - Jagermeister tour.

I have seen Anthrax with Don Nelson which was awful imo. That guy tried so hard to act like Phil Anselmo on stage it wasn't even funny.

 

[Social Distortion]

Once in 2005 and twice in 2006. I wish I could've gone to see them in 2003 with Bush, but unfortunately I only found out about the show afterwards.

Yeah, sorry, you're definitely right, it was October 2002. Despite the sound problems it was probably the best Anthrax show I had seen. I remember some asshole hitting Lemmy with a plastic can, making him leave the stage. After an Anthrax set I had to leave the venue for a while and sit down, I was at the front and was really, really exhausted.

Dec 1995 - Agora Theater, Cleveland (Life of Agony & Deftones opened)

?? 1998 - James A Rhodes Arena, Akron (opened for Pantera)

Jan 2000 - Odeon, Cleveland

Feb 2002 - Agora Theater, Cleveland (opened for Judas Priest)

May 2003 - Agora Ballroom, Cleveland
