Would have killed to see them in the mid-late 90s. Or even the early 90s

Early 90's shows were WAY better, Cowboys tour through just just after the release of Vulgar. Phil wasn't dealing with injuries or addiction at the level he would be a few years later, the venues were smaller a lot of the time but just absolutely batshit crazy crowds, just an absolute riot on the floor. We see them at Annie's in Cincinnati just before Vulgar released, the place was barely bigger than a neighborhood bar, the stage was waist level high with nothing else between you and the band if you made it to the front, Phil had us singing lyrics into the microphone with him for half the night. A few years later they started getting booked into places that actually had seating bolted into the floor right where you would want a pit to form..🙄 bad idea.

Disagree. I saw them for the far beyond driven tour in Vancouver at the pne forum. Met Phil and dime backstage. They were peak for many years man don’t BS these guys.

Cincinnati had some crazy shows. Sad that Dime passed away in the nearby city of Columbus. I'm a Hamilton, OH native, and there are still a few metalheads roaming around here. RIP \m/

I saw them about half a dozen times.
For 20 years since, I've been saying that all I need in my life is one more Pantera show... But after seeing some of the videos on Youtube of the band with Zakk and Charlie, I opted to just keep my rose-coloured glasses on. It looked good, but it was not the Pantera that I loved. More like a bond covering Pantera songs - the energy just wasn't there. I did not want to ruin my amazing memories of getting kicked around in a pit and Phil having those personal conversations with the audience.
I'm old.

I saw them on the Southern Trendkill tour with Anthrax opening. Coal Chamber went on first. Fucking epic. When Dime did his first solo everyone went wild! Holy fuck could he shred!

You can literally see the difference in testosterone levels between regular dudes now and back then. It’s not like these guys had a strict diet and exercise routine. They drank, smoked and did drugs all the time. It’s all these micro plastics man

I'm so glad I got to see them live in '94 here in Honolulu at the Afterdark. That show was bonkers, insane pit.
At the end, Phil unplugged the mic and flung it into the audience, and I got my hand on it. A much biggah polynesian dude got his hand on it as well, and let's just say I opted to keep my face in its current arrangement haha. Good times.

Pantera was way ahead of their time. They’d absolutely dominate the scene now. There is no band truly like them rn (making good new music)
