PANTERA’s Club Show In Minneapolis Was Recorded For Live Album

PANTERA‘s August 15 club show in Minneapolis, Minnesota was recorded for a future live album. The effort will mark PANTERA‘s first release with the band’s reformed lineup, featuring classic-lineup members Philip Anselmo (vocals) and Rex Brown (bass),along with Zakk Wylde (guitar) and Charlie Benante (drums)

Prior to PANTERA taking the stage at First Avenue, a staff member walked out and told the crowd (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET):  “Announcement number one. The band you are seeing tonight is not called COWBOYS FROM HELL,” a reference to the fact that First Avenue announced the PANTERA gig by tweeting out PANTERA‘s CFH — Cowboys From Hell — logo on Tuesday, placed over the band’s star on the wall outside the venue. “You are about to watch an exclusive show from the band PANTERA. The rumors got out quickly, [and] you guys bought up all the tickets. And you may have heard this rumor. And this is also true. We are recording our first-ever live album right here at the First Avenue. So, there’s a couple things you need to know about it. First of all, you will all, for eternity, be heard on a live PANTERA album. That’s the good news. The bad news, you’re not gonna get paid for this. Welcome to the music business.”

METALLICA‘s Robert Trujillo and Kirk Hammett joined PANTERA on stage for a performance of the song “Walk” during First Avenue concert. The club show took place the night before the reformed band opened for METALLICA at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis.

According to Setlist.fm, PANTERA‘s setlist for the concert was as follows
