Phil’s vocals sound as good as ever. People were dubious and critical of this version of Pantera playing shows but it’s obvious fans still have a serious hunger to hear all those classic songs. I’d definitely go see them if they ever come to Ireland.
*IF THEY USED METALLICAS SUBS, THERE WERE 112 MASSIVE SUBWOOFERS. 16 AT EACH LCD AND 7 LCDS, DO THE MATH. 3 SUBS WERE STACKED, = OVER 6 FEET TALL. MASSIVE BASS, POUNDED ON YOUR CHEST AND CALVES*
Little things like singing in your bare feet in front of thousands of fans is beyond exhilarating, love all the Pantera family, every fan knows it's special.
As for someone that has seen Pantera twice in the past. ('98 & '00) This lineup is pretty faithful and respectful to the Abbot Brothers. Sure it is only half of Pantera, but that is all we have anymore. My hats off to you guys!
Yeah think I saw them 5 times through the years-- they OPENED for skid row first time and it was INSANE! Obviously blew skid row out of the stadium.. Great to hear them giving this gen a chance to hear this shit live!!!!
It’s not a tribute band. It’s a celebration of great music live with 2 of 4 original members. If it was zero original members then it’s a tribute but only ppl with with brains no this
Was at this concert and was so glad to hear Pantera. This was a great concert to introduce my 15yr old my era and she hasn't stopped listening to it since.
I seen Pantera in 1996 on the tour with White Zombie. I was 17 years old and it blew me away,but I will say Phil sounds better here than he did back then. Its amazing what Sobriety can do!
That’s respect right there! Zakk didn’t even take his picking hand to do the slides that Dime did on that solo. That’s shows it right there. That’s a move only the great Dime did and was his signature. Awesome!
@@justinkassinger8238Absolutely. Dime and Vinnie tried to continue that sound without Phil and ended up releasing that mediocre Damageplan album. Phil was at least smart enough to know Pantera couldn't be recreated and ended up releasing some brilliant material with Down, Superjoint and the Illegals.
Those click tracks in their in-ear monitors make all the difference at keeping timing in check. I've been playing shows for over 25 years, and ever since we started wearing them, we're not rushed and everything just sounds way tighter.
Charlie is absolutely killing it! Listened to Anthrax when in high school but never really noted the drumming... He's absolutely rocking that shit and it's so damn impressive! Saw them last weekend in Indy and was amazing. They're ALL killing it and in a good way... RIP ABBOT BROTHERS, YOU ARE HAVING YOUR LEGEND CARRIED ON AND SHARED ♥️
They, and I mean Charlie, the drum tech, and front of house, have fuckin nailed it! Charlie has always been in my top FIVE drummer list, but now he is number THREE! #1 Ginger Baker #2 Vinnie Paul #3 Charlie!
@@Billy_bSLAYER you need to then check out Eloy Casagrande and El Estepario and might change your order lol 🤷♂️ they're both insane drummers th-cam.com/video/-gWuXUsJJcI/w-d-xo.html
@@JT-sl3ui Super fast and technically perfect double kick. Up there with Lombardo with double bass BUT Vinnie had a groove which can’t be replicated. Only drummer who made metal swing.
My first concert ever was the Black Sabbath reunion tour with Pantera in like 1999 my dad took me and my dad and I always smoked weed together and I took a huge hit and blew it up in the air and i can still hear Phil, he saw my huge cloud of smoke and he said "that must be the fuckin weed smoking section over there, god damn." It was so fuckin awesome. Lol🤘🏻🤘🏻
Same here man. My first show as the great western forum in l.a. system of a down opened the show and no one had any idea who they were yet. Amazing tour!
Loved how Phil was just running around the stage for like 15 min vefore they even started playing. I never got to see Dime and Vinnie, but they did an awesome job
F#ck the haters, these guys are killing it. Pantera fans deserved this and these guys are doing justice to Dime, Vinny and Pantera as a whole. Obviously this tour is a money maker because it's a business, but I feel like it's a lot more than just a cash grab. Pantera left an indelible mark on music history in a relatively short amount of time and if these guys are willing to put in the work to keep that memory alive and well then more power to them. Also, Charlie and Zakk are doing a great job. I've been a long time fan of both of these guys and I'm happy to see them up there pouring their hearts in to this tour, both killer musicians. It's crazy how much Charlie sounds like Vinny, it's hard to tell a difference.
Pantera is and will always be 1 of the greatest medal groups that ever existed and 2 think that phil and Rex are keeping the memories alive is fucking awesome I know in my heart that Vinnie and dime are proud of what phil and Rex have done in keeping their memory alive . Rest in peace Vinnie and Dime .
@@cfhcowboy9292 that pit was loaded with us old guys. We had to take it easy, work on Monday and all. I get you, I remember seeing them in 96 and it was madness. Was good to be 19 again even if it was for only a couple hours. Some dude did break his ankle in the metallica pit if that makes you feel better lol.
Frigin Kudos to Zakk..He has filled shoes of Tony Iommi,Randy Rhodes,Jake E Lee and now Dimebag..I'd live to sit and read his Resume..He's an absolute beast!!..Nuno,Jason Becker and Zakk are my main influences on guitar for sure
Absolutly agree! And... Nuno and Zakk are great Craftsman and undoubtetly from a whole other level of player. BUT Jason was a freakin Wizzard with the Guitar in his hands.
The most insane concert I ever went to was a Pantera show in 1992 at Alpine Valley Wisconsin, where the mosh pit became over 5000 deep, a swirling mass of vulgarity ripping up chunks of sod in the lawn seats, and a sod clump war erupted with the skies darkened by clumps flying from lawn to pavillion and back again, blocking out the setting sun like Xerxes' arrows at thermopalye.
You can tell Phill is in a good place in regards to his health, cause his voice sounds better than it has in years. If he wasn't taking care of himself, he wouldn't sound this good.
Charlie Benante killin it on the drums. I think the Brothers would be proud. No one else could fill in for Dime except Zakk. I’m just glad I got to see them in 1994 with Sacred Reich. The floor was so packed that when they came out with A New Level, I felt like my rib cage was going to break from the surge of bodies moving toward the stage. I was about 15’ from the stage, I only lasted 4 songs before surfing to the front. It was so fucking loud my ears rang for 5 days. At the end of the show there were plumbing pipes ripped out from the ceiling, lights and electrical wire were ripped down. The place was too cheap to cut the A/C on so it was like 105* in the place. People were dropping like flies. That place was totally destroyed! Michael’s 8th Ave in Glen Bernie, MD. EPIC.
I hope when im 55 years old i can still get down like these dudes. Phil doesnt have the voice he did when he was 25 but hes a fucking legend and still kicking ass. Its a miracle he survived the Pantera days, were lucky to have 2 of them left.
Charlie Benante is the Gold Standard of Metal drumming. He plays now like did when he was just starting in the 80s. As far as thrash drummers go, he was numero uno. Even today, he can still send it.
I can't think of anyone better to pay homage to Dime's amazing guitar work than Zakk. I would have loved to see them both together on stage. Maybe in the afterlife.
Imagine being such a legend that you have an absolute legend fill in for you after your death and people still criticize and compare them to your playing. That's the power of Dime.
Saw them on Saturday in Hershey. I knew what to expect based on other recent shows I watched from them on TH-cam. They sounded pretty good. Especially the first half of the show.
Phil and REX you deserve this, you did it with care and love not only for the ABBOTT brothers but for PanterA itself and most important its always about the fans. PanterA foever. DARRELL🤘 VINCENT🤘ABBOTT RIP. FLY HIGH🤘🔥🔥🔥💕💕💕

The problem was about the moniker they are using

Saw them in Milwaukee. Was AMAZING
Saw them in Daytona, FL a few months back. Great experience.
@@Capt_Cranks Saw them at Rockville too. Pantera killed it.
That bass tone never fails to deliver. Rex is so good man

I find this entire thing an insult to their legacy - They wrote these songs, it's nothing but a cover band now.
@@skinfusionz Phil and Rex were as much of that band as the others, no question. Their falling out had nothing to do with their legacy.
@@lewislambert4590 Would they be ok with it? they are dead now. Seems a kind of gross.
if they were respectful, they could rename and make their own music, not ride on the coattails of the brothers gone, and cash in on it.
I’m surprised Phil still has a voice after everything he’s put his vocals through with his various bands.
loved him in Down. defiantly the 1st album Nola. was so good
@@jake.p13 I think down was his best band, just my opinion, superjoint was wild
Also his alcoholism
Now THAT’S a drummer. Benante is one of the best metal drummers alive. Absolute legend! ✌️
Yep, imagine hearing that drummer and drum sound then be subjected to the complete fuckup. lol
he can't keep tempo

Wow iam happy to see our pantera huge public. Iam not in concert but I feel iam there in live pantera... ❤❤❤❤❤ from district darjeeling india....
Phil performing barefoot and in basketball shorts is a whole vibe. 🤘🔥 🦶 🏀
This was my sons first concert! We had a blast and I loved his expressions when these guys came out and started kicking ass!
That's an incredible first show. How old is he?

That's the best I've heard Phil sound in years. And he really seems to be enjoying himself
Goosebumps...Dimebag soul over Stadium

I like Phil he is just in his own house backyard singing concert like this. Such as respectful human being.
Pantera means so much to me. The music has gotten me through the best and the worst of times.
I saw Pantera so many times back in the day. It was totally awesome! I hope Dime and Vinnie are proud.
There not

Well
. The real Pantera died long ago. Sadly. At least I was able to see them before they died.
@@TrentonTrent 100% this is would be like calling it Van Halen, without Eddie & Alex. #nope
Rex is the only original member!
It's not Pantera either. Maybe when Ozzy dies they will replace him and you can say it's still Ozzy and not a cover band..
*know
Was at this concert and was so glad to hear Pantera. This was a great concert to introduce my 15yr old my era and she hasn't stopped listening to it since.
Phil sounds the same as in '91
Sitting in my living room, seeing Zakk play the opening riff of Walk literally gave me chills! 🤘
I seen Pantera in 1996 on the tour with White Zombie. I was 17 years old and it blew me away,but I will say Phil sounds better here than he did back then. Its amazing what Sobriety can do!
Agreed. I saw them on that tour as well. Phil sounds great.
Philim H is da man. Always has been, always will be. A Legend. Just as the Abbotts. May the spirit of Pan fucking tera live on.
Me 2 @ brendan Byrne? Or whatever it was called haha, deftones opened
@mikednyg2006 When I seen them EyeHateGod opened, but I'd rather it been Deftones.
I was there, same age, Arizona... Still got the ticket stub.
That’s respect right there! Zakk didn’t even take his picking hand to do the slides that Dime did on that solo. That’s shows it right there. That’s a move only the great Dime did and was his signature. Awesome!
Obviously no one can replace Dime. But I can't think of a better substitute than Zakk. Love that he stayed true to the Walk solo. 🤘🤘
Yea it's a good solo , but He didn't do the double hand finger slide ! I wonder if it's out of respect for Dime ! 🤘🤘
I think it’s so great that these guys are doing this. Doesn’t have to be perfect! Pantera lives on!
Phil is pretty close to perfect
Phil sounds fantastic, best since ‘94
Yes he sounds terrific!
Lol. This is NOT Pantera.
That's good, because it sure isn't perfect.
Phil's voice is spot on! Not a pitch lower, higher or out of place.
They seem to really have it dialed in now. Wow! That was bad ass
Phil sounds great. Lets be real, there is no Pantera without Phil on vocals. You couldn't do a tribute without himvv
I'd even say Phil is Pantera. Look at Pantera before Phil. Phil is just as much Pantera as dime and Vinny
@@justinkassinger8238Absolutely. Dime and Vinnie tried to continue that sound without Phil and ended up releasing that mediocre Damageplan album.

they are as tight asl i have ever seen at this show..i have seen lots.

Without a doubt “Walk” is my favorite by Pantera! I remember hearing it on Headbangers Ball!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Just saw Pantera at Hershey Park PA two days ago!! Unbelievable 👏 😮 front row for me and my boy! $260 well spent
Benante & Wilde are the great additions to Pantera. The best next of kin. They have been in Pantera's close-circle for decades now.
