Best 'thrax live performance you've seen...

[Crabmeat]

it was my 1st metal show too!! age 15 !! Rijnhal Arnhem!!!it was amazing!!!!the only ever show where they had pretty girls in the crowd!!! 5000 moshing maniacs!!!!

Cool, man!
Considering the proximity, that must've been like a day before or a day after my gig! I was 12! Good times!

I'd never heard of Suicidal before (big fan since then, mind you!!) and in my childish innocence I didn't understand why their bandanas were slipping down over their eyes and they didn't pull them up!! Ah, to be a wide eyed kid!!

Anthrax became my teenage obsession after that show! It's where it all began.

Best one I saw was the Tilburg (013 club) gig last year

 

[DarbysDad]

you saw No Mercy???? My jaw drops with envy!

Yeah and Mike Muir sang with Anthrax while Joey took a break.

And I forgot the Raging Bull tour with Fight

And watching them kick Ozzy and KISS's ass all over the place and holding up to Maiden.

 

[DarbysDad]

DD rules!! he's my dad!!

Like thrax I'm Lethal - Kill the Beat!!! Turn it Up!!!

 

[Col_ossus]

Saw them three times on the WCFYA tour, and they ruled. Best ever. Saw them once on the Among The Living tour, once supporting Metallica on the Puppets tour, twice on the Euphoria tour, where they didn't finish either set due to crowd spitting, and once on the reunion. But John brought much more life to the band than Joey ever did IMO.

For me my favorite anthrax concert was that state of euphoria, anthrax got suicidal tendecies support. (`europe tour` - i saw them hamburg `docks` reeperbahn `st pauli`, end of the eighties)

the second was that iron maiden anthrax package `POT` Tour

very cool was the Hamburg Rock Package, anthrax (sound of whtie noize) living color, faith no more, more, iggy pop, monster magnet, suicidal tendencies.

The sound of white noize tour was also cool at hamburg docks

last year Tilburg, crushed everything from 1993 what I had previously sen from ANTHRAX.

 

[Jockthrax]

My favorite Anthrax show was back on the SOWN tour in the famous Glasgow Barrowlands, the tickets sold out in two days and the place was packed (even though it was a sunday night). They opened with Potters Field and if my memory serves me right closed with BTN. Excellent show, best I've seen.
I went to two Reunion shows, the first was pretty poor by Thrax standards and the 2nd was slightly better.

 

[aliasp]

For me the POT tour in Adelaide that Timmy C mentioned (we were at the same concert - small world huh!).

 

[poker_fan_in_nyc]

Clash of the Titans and when they opened for Iron Maiden were both great shows (back in Philadelphia)

 

[BIGPHAT442]

I was there, it was the Birch Hill Night Club. Shithole, happy it closed, Starland Ballroom, down the street is much nicer. Anyway, it was a good show.

The best one I have seen was a few years back, in Old Bridge New Jersey - I can't even remember the name of the venue - the venue apparentley was shutting it's doors forever just a few days after Anthrax played - does that ring any bells for anyone? Anyway, it was a great show, they played forever, and they whipped out a couple of songs I never expected to hear. It was totally worth the 5 shitty bands that I had to see open. Although I am still waiting to hear them play "panic!"

[TomFromPoland91]

I've never seen them live : (((
But I think that after record new album they will play in Warsaw. So I'll go to Warsaw. I MUST!

 

[THEBALDGUYFROMBLACKLODGEVIDEO]

TGOTE live recording, I guess... And later that year @ Beacon Theater despite that the set was short.

 

[Davros666]

state of euphoria tour with living colour. That was my first and hence so very good - they were at the top of their game back then.

Reunion tour was best for me - saw them in Colchester, Essex, UK - in a converted church with about 10 other people!! Was such a small venue - it was fantastic. No support. Just the thrax.

I was there also, that was a amazing night. My voice was proper fucked the next day. I bumped into Joey and Dan outside before the show and asked for a picture which they said no. Miserable fuckers

Though Joey was cool when I met him at the Astoria

 

[Flavio CotM]

that shit kicked ass. ATL tour with Metal Church for me and S442 sho in Hollywood stand out. Still bummed I was asked to leave the WCFYA show I went to.

First thrax gig was in LA with DRI, COC, No Mercy and Posessed.

That show was awesome they played at the Jackie Robinson's YMCA here in San Diego memories.....my favorite will still be at Iguanas in Tijuana Mexico friday May 14th 1993 with John Bush The Sound of White Noise Tour

No, the show I saw was in 2004 I think. It was after WCFYA came out. Yeah that place was kind of a Dive but it was a great place to see a show. These days, I think that is about as close as you can get to a band! I think that was the same night I caught one of Rob's pics.
