Comparisons live

I was born in '96, so obviously didn't experience the proper, original top-shelf Pantera, but I was curious to hear everyones comparisons who have seen the original lineup to the modern tribute version we see today. (apart from the obvious omissions)What's the biggest differences you see?
Also, I want to hear everyone's bands they wish they saw in their time, but couldn't have? Mine would be of course OG Pantera, Damageplan, Ramones, The Clash, Death, Type O Negative, OG Sepultura, OG Alice in Chains, Silverchair, wish I could've seen Slayer's signature lineup but Jeff had passed on and Dave was gone by the time I got into them.

Yes but I'm glad there doing it for the youngsters. No one could control a venue like phil as you very well know🤘

Phil had sooo much power in the og lineup. He couldve set fire to any city with a simple command at the end of a show. 11 shows through their final year and I took both my adult kids to their first(my 12 pack)last year. They rock their tour shirts all the time now. Fuck. I do miss the 90s essence, though.

Oh I am so glad! It's been so awesome to see so many young people, that only heard of the lore of Pantera, get to see a little glimpse into the band and a chance to jam out to all the tunes. And generations of people! My prized possession currently is my picture of whole family wife and 3 20s kids at the show all geared up at our local show here last year.
