It was the battle of all battles...

Panorama 1990 was one for the history books when San Fernando's
VAT 19 FONCLAIRE quite literally took town by Storm when they blew into Port of Spain with their immortal. "Pan By Storm"

Having topped the South Zone, Preliminaries, & Semifinal rounds of the competition, VAT 19 FONCLAIRE electrified the Savannah in the Finals with their HISTORIC performance...

Defending Champions, AMOCO RENEGADES responded with an equally electrifying performance of their own...

Renegades were not going to simply lie down and allow any band to snatch the Panorama title away from them easily...

When the dust settled & the scores were announced AMOCO RENEGADES EMERGED VICTORIOUS by a mere HALF A POINT...

It was a horribly bitter pill for Professor, VAT 19 FONCLAIRE & the people of San Fernando to swallow...

33 years later,
this historic musical battle remains etched in the memory of all who witnessed this Clash of Titans & it still elicits strong, polarising emotions & intense debate amongst Pan Aficionados Worldwide...

I have put the best quality videos I could have found of these two performances CONSECUTIVELY for you to judge for yourself...
