PANTERA - "Domination" 12-28-1990 Metairie, LA.

This is a video I shot of PANTERA live at Guitar Alley in Metairie, Louisiana aka "Fat City" from December 28, 1990. THE SLUGS opened the show.

The audio is a little dodgy because this was one of the tapes that was soaked by Katrina at my old place in Chalmette, LA after the levees broke. (only 40 tapes survived out of 200-300 that I had of local gigs from over the years, so we lost alot of Nola Scene gold that day in 2005...)

This was PANTERA's first show in the New Orleans area after the release of CFH. (They had played the Max in May of 1990, but the album wasn't out yet). They just finished the SUICIDAL / EXODUS tour and were on fire this night.

Line up:

Phil Anselmo: Vocals
DimeBag Darrell: Guitar
Rex Brown: Bass
Vinnie Paul: Drums

Reminds me of the days when Fat City was a veritable mecca of hotbed musical talent. A lot of great bands came out of there. Now they want to turn it into a Norman Rockwell Mayberry Disney Doodle, a shopper's dream come true. Just ask poor old Uncle Larry, being run out of business by the quiet zone people. Sorry, but we liked it dirty and raw, like the batture's alluvial soil of the river's ridge. Who Dat Nation, baaaaybeeee!

I agree brother! Once they closed out The Last Stop, Dinos and zeps, it all went down hill...It's a shame that was the hot bed of music in the 70's, 80's and 90's, then poof it's gone. Here comes mickey Mouse and starbucks lol

[guitarslave]

I never get tired of hearing this solo...it kicks fuckin' ass all the time.

Phil doesn't even have the Cowboys From Hell tattoo that he got on the side of his head, I don't know which side from the CFH tour that they released with Rob Halford and Exodus and shit. I'm tryin to find the local show from Halloween 2010 to show my dude but it was on the West Bank with Eyehategod and idfk. PEACE PANTERA BITCHES

Man im from metairie and im 16.Wish i were 18 back in 1980 so i could witness the best era of metal from 1980-2000.

What a waste Fat City has become. All the great places gone, no longer showcasing great acts such as this. Fat City was a mecca for original rock music. Now it is a mecca for Mexican culture. Fat City could be such a great entertainment capitol of Metairie, but the government has plans to turn it into some Disney-style shopping oasis. Why? We have a Walmart. What do we need another shopping area for?

Damn i want to see MORE OLD LIVE STUFF!!! Dudes, please, upload such videos for us fans!!!

@pantera31169311 I'm glad nobody makes music like this anymore. Imitators rarely do the originators justice.

Every time the guy with the camera starts zooming in and out real fast the video and audio start fucking up. Hopefully he picked up on that cue to stop that shit because his VHS camcorder was obviously too cheap even in its time.
