Alive 2 is Anthrax's third full-length live album and their second full-length live DVD, released on 20 September 2005. It was filmed at the Starland Ballroom in Sayreville, New Jersey, on 3 June 2005, during the reunion of the Among the Living line-up, with Joey Belladonna back on vocals and Dan Spitz on guitar.
The set draws on the band's early catalogue, from their debut, Fistful of Metal, through to Persistence of Time (1990), so it covers songs written across several changes of personnel. The CD and DVD could be bought separately or together in a Special Edition. It also turned out to be the last non-compilation release to feature Spitz, who left once the reunion tour finished, which makes it a record of a particular moment for the band.
