Pantera kicked off their headlining tour alongside Lamb of God in Burgettstown, Pennsylvania. on July 28 with an encore that consisted of two songs the band had not played live since 2001.

The headlining run is taking place amid Pantera's gigs as direct support for Metallica on their M72 stadium tour, with the North American leg launching this Friday (Aug. 4) at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. It's the band's first headlining jaunt on the continent since returning late last year with Zakk Wylde on guitar and Anthrax's Charlie Benante on drums in place of the late Abbott brothers Dimebag Darrell and Vinnie Paul.

The night was also a special one as Pantera took the opportunity to engage in a belated birthday celebration for newlywed bassist Rex Brown, who turned 59 one day earlier.

After getting the crowd to sing "Happy Birthday," the group played the classic "Walk" with a guest appearance from SNAFU, followed by "Domination / Hollow" and "Cowboys From Hell" to finish out the main portion of the set.

For the encore, Pantera resurrected the Far Beyond Driven track "Slaughtered" (well, half of it, anyway) and "Revolution Is My Name" from Reinventing the Steel.

Footage of "Happy Birthday" and the encore songs can all be viewed below, in addition to Pantera and Lamb of God's setlists from the tour's opening night.
