One of the greatest performances of any band ever. I'm so glad this footage exists. Phil during this time was unstoppable and the greatest vocalist in metal history!
@@TheFuckingViciousI kinda agree.i love sepultura but I like to watch them live after they put out chaos AD and roots.that way they have a setlist with songs from schizophrenia,beneath the remains, arise, chaos AD and roots.i love the old stuff but I also love songs like slave new world, territory, attitude,straight hate,amen.no doubt though behind Pantera,down, Metallica is sepultura
@@TheDrifteffect yes he was man.i like how passionate Phil is over his music.you can tell he's really into this show.probably blowed out of his mind but that's ok with me.phil was a great frontman to go from Pantera to down and make it all work out great.to me the best live Pantera show is the one where they are in Moscow playing the monsters of rock right after the coup
It wasn't Vinnie that was jealous of Phil going on tour and selling albums with his other bands. The other brother didn't like sharing his toys and he felt Phil was an outsider from the beginning. Phil from Nola replaced a Texas singer they had made many albums with before. Phil was also the drive to get away from hair metal which finally got them noticed beyond the Metroplex bar scene. Jealousy runs deep. Phil had his issues but ever wonder why he was always so different than their origin?
Look up Michael Patton. If you think Phil was remembering a ton of lyrics, try that guy. And by the way, when you write a song and perform it repeatedly, it isn't hard to remember.
I've heard him a few times over the years. Seen him there June 2023 with Pantera for the Brothers Legacy gigs. He is still untouchable. His voice was incredible.
@@darrynmccartney1118that’s awesome and I believe it. I was just referring to when this footage was taken, how long ago it was-no shade on Phil at all.
As on best voice there is no way but to "me and evidentially you it's what we like, but the best voices literally in metal are of course Rob Halford or Ronnie Dio or even that poser Sebastion Bach- But we share our taste in music and preference-
I was there. Somewhere off to the right and upfront, there's a dude with 2ft long red hair jamming the fuck out. The tickets were like old school carnival/movie tickets they tore in half at the door, so no proof I was ever there. But I'm in there. I still live 5 minutes away from this bar.
I bought this VHS from a bootleg swap meet in 1996. I even recently bought a VCR so I could watch it again. Great memories - this show was a rallying point for my friends and I on a lot of late night binges

Bought NOLA first week it came out in a music store in a mall. 2 months later I listened to it on my walkman on a bus trip to Army basic training. They took everything from us, including the Walkman with NOLA in it. 8 weeks later they gave us our stuff back. Hadn't heard metal in 8 weeks. Needless to say, it still moves me today at 45 years old!!! Thank you for this gem of a show!🤘🤘

HOLY FUCK. I WAS AT THIS SHOW. I thought it was lost to history and only existed in my memory. My friend stopped by the gas station I worked at and said "Phil's got a new band, quit your job and let's go!" I walked the fuck out and never regretted it. LEGENDARY. Nobody knew the album at the time, I bought it later, I don't think it was in stores yet at the time? That was a minute ago so don't quote me. The singer for the opening band dropped his pants I'm pretty sure. Might have been on the DOWN II show, but coulda swore it happened at this show.
This is the kind of shit I look for. Every person in every video has a story to tell about being at the show. Someone has a permanent injury, someone's ears were never the same, someone quit their job to see Down, whatever it is, there's a story to tell.
There was no opening band on Down II... They played the Down II behind the scenes movie mixed in with videos of classic 70's metal bands like Deep Purple, Rainbow, Thin Lizzy, Priest, and Sabbath.
Is that Dime at 53:30 giving Jimmy beer? Phil is pumped to see someone right before that and it looks/feels like it's Dime since Vinnie comes on stage just a minute after that. The way Phil reacted to both of them, so much love when things were tight.
The amount of talent that Phil possess is really hard to compare to anything else. Add to this that this music is also a cure for your soul and you have the best band that ever existed.
back when phil had more energy than any other front man. Thats a metal show. 100 percent effort, crowd surfing, and good acoustics. sober phil is as impressive as they come
I swear by God, Bower Power looks to me and reminds me here so much of my beloved (and sadly departed) uncle... great guy, true Lifer. (one night, somewhere through my high school years, together we both heard Down for the first time 🤘)
A band that is a cast of legends!!! All of em have their fingerprints all across the upper tier of metal bands, thrash, doom, sludge, southern rock, punk, crossover... name it, they did it well.
52:13 you godamn right!! I'm from EAST TEXAS and I remember getting this CD when I was 15 in 95. I actually traded 3 cds for it to a good friend of mine. Cotton Chipman if you ever read this, remember that moment!
I saw them tonight in Dallas and man it was one brutal intense show. The energy was the same in the crowd. Yeah Phil's old now but he can still put on a show and his singing has gotten better recently and he seems healthier overall.
I was there too! Amazing outdoor show. Phil saying he “doesn’t know the next time he’ll be back” made me kinda sad. Hope to see them one more time before he decides to retire
@@tweezersalad4075 Yeah it was pretty sad. This was one of those rare shows you never know when you'll get again. I'm very glad I go to see them. I'm also moving from Texas next month so it was perfect timing for me.
@@MsAlimajeed I was there too. I love pantera but had never heard of down and heard Phil was coming to Dallas so I started listening to them and fell in love and then went to the concert and now I’m a huge fan
Say what you want about Phil but he's a pioneer in heavy music vocals and attitude. Glad I got to see him in his prime a few times. Those shows changed me...haven't seen a show since that matched that intensity.
Guitarists- kirk windstein of crowbar and pepper Keenan of corrosion of conformity. Bassist- Todd Strange of Crowbar. Drummer- Jimmy Bower of Eyehategod and Crowbar at the time. But Kirk is one of my favorite Guitarists and he's the vocalist of crowbar. Check them out. And obviously Phil
That was badass to see Vinnie n Dime supporting Phil and Down. You always have so called “fans” bickering about Down n Pantera. N how Dime hated down n all this bullshit. People forget Dime and Vinnie had Gasoline… the real fans know though. These were a band of 4 brothers that left an incredible mark history. Let’s celebrate all of their work instead of arguing and debating who’s better n all this bullshit. We lost 2 already when the others go it’s going to be a sad day.
One of the greatest performances of any band ever. I'm so glad this footage exists. Phil during this time was unstoppable and the greatest vocalist in metal history!
Third best after Metallica - Seattle 89 and Sepultura - Under Siege Barcelona 1991. Maybe second...

Phil's in fine form! This band is 'all time'!
@@TheDrifteffect yes he was man.i like how passionate Phil is over his music.you can tell he's really into this show.probably blowed out of his mind but that's ok with me.phil was a great frontman to go from Pantera to down and make it all work out great.to me the best live Pantera show is the one where they are in Moscow playing the monsters of rock right after the coup
@@TheFuckingVicious yup 🤘
That hug between Phil and Vinnie was so heartwarming. Just wish people could focus on that part.

I don’t know how Phil has so many lyrics memorized, always playing in multiple bands. Legend!
Comes from a long line of lyricists 😛
It is no different than knowing the lyrics for 20 bands with 50 songs a piece.
@@leviathanmoshman2331 it’s know different than having so many songs memorized and always playing in multiple bands 🤦🏻♂️
Look up Michael Patton. If you think Phil was remembering a ton of lyrics, try that guy. And by the way, when you write a song and perform it repeatedly, it isn't hard to remember.

@@dunkelheit0888 we will agree to disagree agree. Phil is great
@@Bryson-nb7bwif he even showed up to the show.
Those days are so far gone it’s hard to wrap my head around, but this is immortal.

This is pure fucking gold. What I would pay to go back and see this. So heavy. Phil’s voice is untouchable. The best in metal hands down
The Big Four should have Pantera close the show
@NESHMETAL haha...serious! I was only 10 in 1995. Caught PANTERA on their last tour in 2001 I believe. Reinventing the steel tour
@NESHMETAL man I really wish I could have seen them in that era. What a time for music

That’s Phil at the top of his game.
Completely agree. It should be remastered and released as a DVD
Vocals sound so evil
Absolutely. And Kirk without a beard, unheard of now lol
@@benmacdhui I am agreeing with you. I am in agreement with you. You and I, we agree; we are like minded. We are two, yet one. Cheers.
I always come back to this. Its astounding.
I bought this VHS out of a trunk of a car back in '95 when I saw Down in Chicago. I still have it.
That's awesome. I bought it from a bootleg site online in '96 and I still have. This show kicks ass and NOLA is my favorite album ever.

Bought this album in November of 1995. Absolutely blown away. Been on the play list ever since.

Pepper and Kirk invented a new level of heavy. The tone is epic 🤘
Is that Dime at 53:30 giving Jimmy beer? Phil is pumped to see someone right before that and it looks/feels like it's Dime since Vinnie comes on stage just a minute after that.
The way Phil reacted to both of them, so much love when things were tight.
You can tell by the hair flip...LOL
It's Vinnie ,that was muthafuckin show
Whoever captured this footage, thankyou!
Phil is fuckin untouchable at this stage. Unmatched metal vocalist
hot off the heels of Far Beyond Driven
No doubt he's great but untouchable, no..
They should release this as a live album. It's that good.
Hate to say, but sounded better in this concert than diary of a mad band
@@federicosalerno3555Diary of a Madband is just awful. Music is ok but Phil's fucked up blotto and rambling.
@@federicosalerno3555yeah they were quite rough, especially Phil, dimebag dying killed a part of him I think
This and download festival 2009 are both excellent. Live album sounds great but Phil’s vocals are really bad.
I would buy it.The Nola album is a fucking masterpiece imo
Dude I was at that show. Wow I had no idea there was tape of this!! I was standing very close up just right of the stage.
54:18 SOO cool to see Vinnie show up on stage!!
dime gave jimmie a drink right before that then phil did ...lol
Wasnt this his club?
that hug was so wholesome 😭
Makes me sad man, I wish they would have made amends with eachother before Vince passed
@@Lilac_x_angelI know you could always tell it bothered Phil a lot that Vinnie closed the door on him.
The amount of talent that Phil possess is really hard to compare to anything else. Add to this that this music is also a cure for your soul and you have the best band that ever existed.
Some of the best metal i've heard and i was 6 years old when he did it ...
back when phil had more energy than any other front man. Thats a metal show. 100 percent effort, crowd surfing, and good acoustics. sober phil is as impressive as they come
Phil owned a crowd like no one before or after
He wasn’t sober at this time
@@MichaelGrubbEvolvedMinistry No lol not at all but unapologetic about it too, i miss that Phil-
Dirty Keys
0 seconds ago
Yeah… “sober” as if Vinnie Paul didn’t hand him a fucking beverage
Phil is obliterated here. “Give me some medicine”…rubs over his vein…and this is just before his overdose.
listen to those DRUMS on temptations wings, such a Dank groove and hype too. Truly before their time
It's my favorite song of the set for that exact reason. I'm glad someone else noticed it too.
That’s MISTER DOCTOR Jimmy fucking Bower to you
Bower is badass
I almost cried when I saw the huge hug that Vinnie gave Phil, and seeing Dime, Phil ran over to see him. 👀
Would of loved to have witnessed this back in the day. DOWN!
I swear by God, Bower Power looks to me and reminds me here so much of my beloved (and sadly departed) uncle... great guy, true Lifer.

Yes! Legendary guitar tones, sounds just like the album. The Orange amps they used when I saw them a few years ago just aren't the same.

This is what a real metal band sounds like!
Damn the OG line up with fucking BIG T on the bass! Always come back to this show.

This video is an absolute gem. They are so young, Phil is moving like a gazelle. :D
I swear lol.pepper looks so different than he does now.time gets us all
That was my 2nd concert! I’m so glad someone recorded it!
THIS is the best metal singer ever
Wow! Just wow! Great recording from way back. I didn’t get to see down till their second album. I just can’t get over how good they sound here.
the sound in this video is great....here down here demoing a heavy sound without sounding over the top and Phil giving it 100 with that great voice.

This had to be literally RIGHT before Phil started messing around with Heroin.
He was already in. Plenty of references in the video here. Overdose happened in July 96.
