They played: (lets see if I can remember, two days later)
NFL (they never open with this, it was a pleasant suprise)
Caught in a Mosh (omfg yes, I would die 1000 times if they didn't play it)
Safe Home
Indians (Frank Bello left the group, and truly, this song wasn't the same without his lanky, wardancing charisma. We missed him the most, when they played this one. Scotty was the only Indian, on stage, this time)
Only
What Doesn't Die
Death Rider
Antisocial (the extended audience participation version)
some more songs that elude me right now...
They closed with (omfg) Chuck D, from Public Enemy coming out on stage (it was a NY show, of course they had to have a special guest, they always do...but Chuck D!) and doing Bring The Noise. The rap/metal version. I was LEAPING around. My fat ass was getting AIR. I have never heard that song done so well, with such intensity. Seeing Scott and Chuck on stage together was incredible.
The set was short, intense, fast, and mind boggling. Like great sex. Seriously, I felt SPENT, afterwards. My hair was all knotty, my neck and jaw ached (from screaming and headbanging...perv), my makeup was all fucked, I was sweaty and sore. When it was over I sank back into my seat, glowing, exhilerated, and tired. I've never had a concert do that to me (out of literally hundreds of shows). It was quite the experience, there was no down-time, no boring span. It was an hour of pure, raw, metal intensity. I needed it, so bad. I needed to cut loose, and just rock the fuck out.
Dio was great, flawless, even. Pure talent, strongest voice in rock. Just a total metal gentleman, all showmanship and skill. It was nice to relax and wind down to him, after getting rocked raw, by Anthrax.

Uhhhhhhh. Dio > Anthrax.
:D
It is not for me to say, for better or worse, they're two ENTIRELY different sounds. Dio has major longevity, and his band is pretty good (not, like, mindblowing) But his voice is seriously one of the best in the business.
Anthrax is still my favorite.
You are definitely on the same level. Anthrax is just one of those bands that makes you feel good to be alive and able to experience everything that isn't mainstream bullshit.
I havent been to a concert in ages. I dont even know who I'd want to see anymore.
I'm glad you had an awesome time, though. :)
