And certainly they knew what the crowd wanted, pounding through five songs from Among the Living to open the show, including "Caught in a Mosh," "I Am the Law" and "Efilnikufesin (NFL)," each of which had the crowd forming an ever-widening mosh circle and singing along.

With legendary vocalist Joey Belladonna back in the fold the playing of all the oldies was a real crowd pleaser, and while a few newer songs like "I'm Alive" from Worship Music and a cover of AC/DC's "T.N.T." came mid-set, the theme of playing older favorites continued with cuts like "Indians," "I'm the Man," "Madhouse" and show closer "Antisocial."

And the guys didn't waste time with excess either; Belladonna parades the stage with a Chilean flag and later tries to entice the crowd into raising a war whoop before "Indians;" Charlie Benante takes a drum solo. Otherwise the show is no-nonsense thrash-and-bash. Several offstage segments catch the band talking about various situations including the Anthrax 30th anniversary.
