5.0 out of 5 stars The MOST fun I've had listening to a live CD in years..., June 9, 2004

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Set, May 23, 2004

First off I have to say that my DVD/CD set is not the same as this one. The track list for Disc 1 is the same as my DVD and the music CD is identical with 4 songs cut from it. 'Belly Of The Beast', '604', 'Indians' and 'Bring The Noise' are not included on the audio cd. No big deal. Still a cool set because the DVD and audio CD are not from the the same night.
It has been my experience that watching the DVD first will make you appreciate any live show better. I've seen Anthrax several times live, but this is the closest I've come to seeing them live with John Bush. The sound on both is spectacular.
As with any band you like a lot, that has more than 10 cd's released, there will be songs you like that aren't included. I had hoped 'Tester', 'Invisible' and a couple others would've been included, but then you have to decide which songs included here should be cut....none.
If you are an Anthrax fan of the Joe Belladonna years, this is definately not for you. Bush's rendition of the old Anthrax tunes is less than perfect. If you are a Bush fan or just a hardcore Anthrax all-time fan, like myself, this set is awesome. 'What Doesn't Die' will have your ceiling fan trembling from the double bass drum and the show never slows down from there.

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.
