It was a dark and stormy night in Illinois. No kidding.
Cold horizontal rain coming down in sheets. Reports of plane crashes. In the hotel bar on the big screen the Bears and Packers on Monday Night Football are playing in 'throw back' uniforms. A girl in a grass skirt and a coconut top floats by. Are we in some sort of weird time-warp?

If that seems strange, imagine showing up for a halloween show and buying tickets at the door for $12!
Northwestern's fall ball in a hotel ballroom featuring Widespread Panic was a truly memorable experience and the last small scale halloween the band ever played.

Turn this one up loud !

PaniCast 24 - October 25, 1996 Madison

Barrymore Theatre, Madison, WI

On October 25, 1996 Lisa and I presented the first edition editor's copy of the Everyday Companion to the band and crew. The show itself was memorable and then to have the treat of getting books into the hands of those responsible for the music was a memory I will not soon forget.

PaniCast 23 House of Blues Orlando SPECIAL

I've been obsessively downloading and listening to as much of the recent Jimmy Herring Widespread as I can possibly get my hands on. The recent House of Blues run in Orlando looked like a series of smokers and from what I've been able to hear the setlists don't lie!

There were so many highlights that I found myself with more material than one Cast could contain - so it has been extended to an hour! The band is by no means playing perfectly, but they sure are taking chances and letting the music play the band.

Highlights in this cast include:
C. Brown with Jimmy Herring on Acoustic guitar
the Barstools is the first with Jimmy
the Hatfield rap is freaky
and JB continues his antics during the Fishwater
Finally - what can I say about Little Wing?!!
