My only regret was I never saw Pantera live

For those that did please provide a snapshot. IMO they were Way before their time and still one the best.

This is my main regret as well. Everyone I have talked to that saw them said they were the greatest live band they had ever seen. We drove to the Hirsch Coliseum in Shreveport to see them back around 95 only to arrive there to find out they had to cancel the show about an hour before the start because the venue insisted on putting chairs on the floor. The band did the right thing by cancelling. It would have gotten violent on the floor with chairs & would have been a bloodbath. We were devastated of course.
I was able to see everyone in Pantera play in other bands live(DOWN, Superjoint, Damageplan) but will always regret never getting to see Pantera live. Dimebag is still the best guitar player I have ever witnessed.

Mine is Motorhead. I really wish I would have seen them live.

I was lucky enough to see them in ‘96 with White Zombie & Eyehategod at the Cajun Dome in Lafayette. Probably goes without saying, but it was an amazing show all around. Dimebag was a goddam legend and he ripped shite up that night, I remember that...

This was at Lakefront Arena in New Orleans. Pantera never played Lafayette.

Sure enough. Just checked my old ticket stub, I kept everything back then. Thanks for pointing that out...

As a teenager in Lafayette in the 90s, this greatly disappointed me. SJR's first ever show was at Grant St Dancehall in Lafayette in 1997. I did go to that and it was awesome. That Lakefront Arena show was Pantera's last time in New Orleans. They played Biloxi a few times after that but never came back to this state.

Wow, I forgot about that place, quite a trip down memory lane. I think I saw Deftones there for the very first time, right after Adrenaline came out. Chino still had his dreads, we kicked it with them on the tour bus.

Same here, I really hate that I never got a chance to see them. They were supposed to play in Houston several months before Lemmy died. I was going to go to it, but it ended up being one of the shows that they had to pull out of.

Saw them in Little Rock opening for Foo Fighters. That was actually a really cool show. The best part was the old dad's in their biker gear and/or Motorhead shirts with their kids who were there to see Foo Fighters.
I saw Pantera at Ozfest in 99 or 2000. They were great of course, but Phil was a jackass to the point it was distracting.

I was at that the same show at UNO Lakefront Arena. It was loud and it was bad arse.

I grew up in Fort Worth. I cannot even count how many times I saw Pantera. great shows
Tons of shows at Joe's Garage. A lot of them are on youtube.
One of my best stories was we walked into a house party in Dalworthington Gardens or Pantego (suburbs of Arlington) and there is a band getting set up to play. It was vinny and dime with two other guys (not Pantera)

Only saw Pantera 1 time but what a show it was opening for Skid Row at the UNO Lakefront Arena on new years eve 91 show didn't start till 9:30 what a night it was by far the best Arena show I have ever attended.

I was at that same show. New Year’s Eve...what a fricking night.

I saw Pantera at UNF Arena in Jax in January of ‘95. Phil said: So y’all got an NFL team hah? (Jags started in the fall of ‘95) Of course the crowd roared. Then he said: Yeah frick ‘em. Gonna have to play the Saints!! 
The show was incredible as expected. Phil did go on a strange rant though about halfway through about how Pantera is a white man’s band.
Saw ‘em open for the Tony Martin version of Black Sabbath in I think ‘94. We missed the beginning of Motorhead because we just HAD to get one more round at the bar where we were beforehand.
Crazy. It was still broad daylight when we got there and Motorhead was the second band but they were already on stage. Motorhead then Sabbath, Lemmy and then Iommi back to back on the same stage in a 700 capacity club. Yeah that was an epic show.

I was at that show. The first band was Morbid Angel. Motorhead was awesome. I saw them a few times. Worst was at St Bernard Civic Center when Lem shut the show down after a couple of songs cause BR punks were spitting on him and pulling on his mike stand.
Best Pantera show I saw was in NO with Sepultura opening. The place exploded when Pantera hit the stage. I think it was the farbeyonddriven tour.
