what was the second support band? Kingsize Blues?

No they were on first, they seemed ok but i only caught the last of their set. The other band were Beyond Fear.

so what were Anthrax like? - I saw them on the State Of Euphoria tour in '89 (my first gig). Scott Ian always hada great thrash tone live (recorded tone was a bit thin though)

:twisted:

Good stuff mate - is Scott Ian still using the JCM800s and Jubilees? (I know Danny Spitz was/is a Boogie type of guy).

Just found this quote from Scott Ian on the Anthrax website!

04.11.06 | GREAT BRITAIN
Comrades,
I'm just waking up from last night's insanity in London. The show was the best yet. Best Astoria show ever and dare I say the best show of the tour so far. You always hear how cities like London, NY, LA are always jaded because they get a million shows etc. That's never been the case for us. All of those cities have constantly been amazing and London especially has been a high point. The energy last night was over the top. There was never a lull. I felt myself going for it at a level beyond my normal physical capabilities. I couldn't help myself, the crowd was that good. The UK has been there for us since the beginning. We broke here before anywhere else and the strength and loyalty of our audience here is a testament to the big hearted nature of the British that I love. I got to meet so many CDC members the last few days all wearing their color's proudly. It's nice to put a face to the names I chat with. Last night I met bigbossway and his bride to be and they are using Safe Home as their wedding song!!! I'll be sad to leave the UK on Thursday. Nottingham tonight and then we'll see you on the next record.

Cheers,
Scott
