I saw Anthrax outside of Philadelphia at an old place called The Tower in 1987.

This was when stage diving and the band letting the audience on stage was new. Security had no idea what to do. The mosh pit was like a swarm of bees.

Their first encore was the Pistols' God Save the Queen. About 20 fans stormed the old, wooden stage and you could see it bow like a trampoline and watch the speaker columns sway. The band stopped, and Joey the singer implored the crowd to stop "or else the stage will collapse and we'll all die."

It was one of the best concerts ever.

Alice took to doing double shows with some of his freinds.

I really would have liked to go to the Cooper/Zombie show but was afraid Rob’s Mob would pick me up and toss me around, so I didn’t.
