PaniCast 73 - Playa Quatro Highlights DOS

The final two nights of Playa contained many treats and amazing guest performances.

The Jam out of Drums before Barstools that we open with in this podcast sounds to me like a new original instrumental.

Enjoy!

PaniCast #70 Let's Get Down to Business, SHALL WE?!

Good evening Ladies and Gents!
It is hard to believe it has been SIX YEARS since we stopped doing these little nuggets of goodness...

For this next first time out of the gate I am including some tasty treats from the start of spring tour 1999.
The band is feeling firey right of the gate in Philly - in particular, listen for JBs vocal embellishments during the second chorus of Let's Get Down to Business.
The quintessential Pleas > Chilly from Salem features a lazy jammy intro to Pleas that was indicative of how the band would get things going in Spring '99.

Get excited about 1999, because I am going to be featuring a few more tracks from this under-appreciated Spring Tour in future weeks!

I finish everything off with a couple of selections from the Stockholm Syndrome tour of 2004 at the Gothic in Denver Colorado. Stockholm Syndrome is a side project of David Schools featuring Jerry Joseph on guitar and vocals, Eric McFadden on lead guitar, Wally Ingram on drums and Danny Dziuk on keys. Their version of North is driving and includes a ZZ Top tease while their funky version of Coudn't Get it Right features a Down on the Farm tease.

And finally, please tell your friends and neighbors we are back. Believe it or not these 'casts take a good bit of time to produce and it would be a waste if people weren't sharing this wonderful music.

And finally a BIG THANK YOU to all of the tapers and fans who make these recordings and this wonderful project called the Everyday Companion possible.

Peace, Ted

PanicCast 17 - Widespread Panic in NOLA

City of New Orleans Special
(aka the GREAT cover song review)

This is by no means a true 'best of' New Orleans - but enjoy some selections from the Crescent City.

July 28, 1994 House of Blues, New Orleans, LA
I Walk on Guilded Splinters

Novermber 22, 1993 Tipitina's, New Orleans, LA
Just Kissed My Baby

October 28, 2000 Kiefer Lakefront Arena, New Orleans, LA
Junco Partner >
Mardi Gras in New Orleans
Lawyers, Guns and Money
Red Hot Mama >
Sharon
Trouble
Soul Kitchen

I found a great interview where JoJo talks about this version of Junco > Mardi Gras HERE

The 10/28/00 show fetaures some great Panic moments. JB's flub of Junco Partner leads to a spirited Mardi Gras jam; yet another example of how the band's philosophy of improvisation and allowing songs to be in the moment can create some unexpected magic. The bust outs of Lawyers Guns and Money, Trouble and Soul Kitchen almost overshadow the fine Red Hot Mama > Sharon. I find myself thinking of this show when I think of New Orleans - probably because of the Mardi Gras jam.

May the spirit of the music of New Orleans and, more importantly, the entire gulf coast live forever.
