PaniCast 56 Just for Justin

This one is for Justin and his friends and family.

Some really tasty selections this week. Chosen for the quality of guitar work by Houser primarily. Thanks to Kevin Hopkins for the suggestions.

Sorry for the quality of the New Orleans show, that is the best I've got. And the cut in that Vacation from Australia is unavoidable but Houser's jamming is top notch....

PaniCast 49 End of Spring Tour Highlights Round DEUX

Last week we featured tracks from the end of spring tour 1997, this week we'll bring it back to present day Widespread Panic. By many accounts the band played some amazing stuff on Spring tour and seemed to gain confidence as the tour developed. This week we're bringing you some highlights from a few of the final shows of this spring tour.

I especially like the Protein Drink > Sewing Machine with Vic Chesnutt and John Keane. These brute. tunes are performed with gusto. Mr. Michael Houser would be proud.

Enjoy!

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.

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.
