Mate......I was away for the weekend, out at the beach, with no internet.

Only got back to town this morning.

I remember the last concert took me 3 days to recover from the ringing in my ears and the crick in my neck.

If you saw them at the Wgtn Town Hall in 1995 then i had that same problem.
Worth every second though...awesome.

March 20 1995, alright!!!!!!!!

Yeah.....with Biohazard, and some other support band from Wgtn, who weren't too bad if I remember rightly.

I saw them in 95, farking awesome, the highlight for me was watching some poor bastard get THROWN off the mezzanine floor!

It was the old town hall I think (for the welly concert at least) back in 1995 if my memory serves me correctly.. And I think Fat Mannequin opened.

I remember it being alot calmer than the first Pantera tour I saw at the old town hall. They were late opening the doors and this crowd of guys at the front of the crowd (whole square thing was packed) were on the verge of smashing the doors down (rattling the doors, bashing them with fists etc) and the whole sea of people was chanting PAN-TE-RA.. PAN-TE-RA.. and some lil stressed out dude cam onto the outside balcony with a megaphone trying to pacify everyone.

Ahh memories.

Have they been in NZ since they toured with Biohazard years ago? I think it was the Divine Intervention tour. That was the last time I saw them.. I was young lol.

They are really good, very intense, took me a while to get used to their stuff but I reckon a good opener for Slayer anyhow. Leviathan is their best album I reckon.

Checkout www.mastodonrocks.com
