This live CD was *amazing* to listen to. The hair on the back of my neck was standing straight up from beginning to end. The crowd was singing along with John Bush's vocals, Charlie's drumming was *amazing* and Frankie Bello's bass playing just knocks you on your backside. It's a shame Frankie left the band - especially after hearing this. At least he had one heck of a swan song.

I became an Anthrax fan from the first notes of Potters Field from Sound of White Noise. How could something sound so heavy? It was awesome. I loved the first Bush era album, and then came Stomp which was a setback. Volume 8 was awesome, and the new cd We've come for you all is pretty awesome as well. This live album captures a rare feeling in which an entire crowd is so into the performance that their singing overcomes the band. Its pretty awesome sounding. The DVD that came with this is pretty cool as well. The album is pretty awesome. I wish the performance of Bring the noise from the dvd was on the cd, but that's okay. Great cd to jam in the car.

Seeing Anthrax live in the late 80's was a truly amazing experience. To this day I have never seen a band that played tighter than Anthrax did (the Among the Living tour stands out particularly for me in this respect). Being at an Anthrax show was like hanging out with a bunch of rowdy friends and breaking stuff.

For some reason, and I don't know what it is, on the "Persistence of Time" tour, the band started sounding a whole lot less tight. If you think I'm nuts saying this, try and get your hands on a copy of their old VHS show NFV from the Among tour and then a copy of their second live VHS from their tour with Public Enemy (the name of it eludes me) and you will see what I mean. By the way, that show from NFV NEEDS to be released on DVD. It was absolutely amazing how good they sounded.

The band got a shot in the arm again when John Bush joined the band and released "Sound of White Noise", which I feel is the band's best work and the tour for that record was unreal. I saw their show in Cleveland that year and it is still one of the top 5 concerts I've ever seen... and I've seen many.

I've seen them twice since that show and both times were mediocre at best. They're just not as fun as they used to be. I attribute part of that to the loss of Danny Spitz who always seemed to be having a lot of fun when he was on stage and was a heck of a lead guitarist to boot. Why they booted him, I'll never understand.

This DVD/CD combo isn't half bad. They do seem to be playing a bit tighter than when I've seen them (most recently in '02 opening for Judas Priest), but I think the song selection is the weakest part. They seem to be picking some of their most mediocre new stuff (though What Doesn't Die and Safe Home both sound great), and the old stuff are songs that they've had in their repertoire non-stop for well over 10 years in most cases. They need to mix it up a bit. The only true stand out track on this is "Be All, End All" mainly because I haven't heard it played live in years.

I'm hoping the day will come when I hear a live Anthrax CD (or DVD) where songs like "Panic", "Gung Ho", "Among the Living", "Black Lodge", "Tester" and some of their more obscure stuff takes the forefront again instead of hearing "Metal Thrashing Mad" and "Got the Time" for the 6000th time. I think that would bring me back to the die hard Anthrax fan I once was.

Most people think that belladonna is the best anthrax vocalist. This is not true he is an awful singer. I recently listened to some of his best stuff with anthrax its terrible. This album with the best singer John Bush (IMO) is brilliant. You cant fault it he is way better than belladonna. Just listen to John Bush on Caught in A Mosh compared to Joey Belladonna so dont listen to anyone who says otherwise. Everthing else about Anthrax is also stunning, just listen to the DRumming(Amazing) and the guitars sound Brilliant.

BUY THIS ITS BRILLIANT EVEN IF YOUR NOT A FAN OF ANTHRAX

THATS HOW GOOD THIS IS

i never big fan of the band but i think they're always a great band and this live album sounds good, but the set list not contain most my fav tune like anyplace but here, indians,AIR, madhouse(one of their best song ever), among the living,etc

but for anthrax fans this is must have!
