God he sounded INCREDIBLE in these days. Never better. Wow

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.

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.

I listen to this 2x a week. At minimum. Greatest metal perfktmance of all time. Its scripture

Phil…at the top…no doubt.

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 🤘)

Memory can be tricky. I remembered this show as bomb ass fuck all badass. Good to know 26 years later that yes indeed, it was that good.

Damn the OG line up with fucking BIG T on the bass! Always come back to this show.

I've seen this video before and it still blows me away how good the sound quality is lol

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!

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.

Man…this album is the respective peak for ALL these guys. It just doesn’t get any better than this. I damn near shit my pants when Eyes of the South finally kicked in

You popped your trunk open in front of the Riv and sold me this gig for 20 on VHS. I still have it. 🤘
