PANTERA - Manchester Apollo - 14th September 1994

I went to this show with Colin and Ian and it was our first visit to the famed Manchester Apollo.  The single most thing that I remember about this show is that the venue was fully seated (I assume they thought making the show a standing show would be too rough!) and we ended up watching the show standing on our seats!
DOWNSET were the support and they were pretty good and PANTERA were good too.  I wasn't massively into Pantera at the time but Far Beyond Driven had some great tunes on it which I knew really well.

PRONG - Wolverhampton Wulfrun Hall - Wed 22nd June 1994

Going to this show was pretty much a last minute decision.  We know nothing about Prong except their latest single and that Kerrang said it would be good.  Support came from the excellent Life of Agony (whose River Runs Red album I bought after the show) and The Obsessed (who I honestly don't remember and we may not even have been in the venue in time for them!).  Looking at my ticket I see that Ian's Dad bought it so I must have been at the gig with Ian at least!!
