Widespread Panic

"This is an incredible setlist i don`t know what anybody is talking about!!! I was at this show and although the crowd may have been a little tired becuase it was the last set of the weekend, I think it may have been the best Panic show i`ve been to. Just look at the setlist!!! unbelievable, especially by today`s Panic standards. "

"Widespread are awesome, and this show wasn`t the best, but it was damn good. The crowd was sweet and lovin every minute. If you thought it sucked you just weren`t in the mood or did too much of something, I`m a sound engineer and the sound was OK but from the back side it was amazing, seemed to be the way at Langerado this past year. "

"They guys are right, this wasnt one of WSP`s better shows but there were great moments. The hopeless World > Wrangler was good and the Suprise Valley was SICK. "

"I fucking love panic, but that was for sure the weakest panic show ive ever seen. The sound sucked, the crowd suck, and fucking panic knew it."

"One setters are tough to take, but i have a hard time believing it sucked, Just remember without John Keen`s wisdom and talent`s we probably have no WSP!!!! Thanks Boys"

"I haven`t even heard this show yet (bet it rocks like hell), but I`ve been reading the reviews, I`m at work, I`m drunk, and I need to kill some time so this is as good a time as any to make some comments I`ve been wanting to make for awhile. Houser rocks, McConnell rocks, Mr Keane rocks, and Jimmy, in my opinion, rocks hardest of all. Over here in England we call him Gandalf. Well me and my girlfriend do. But what I want to say is, what`s with the periodic negativity on this site? This is a scene about serious music, serious friendship and serious fun. And that`s about as serious as it should get. What`s the use in saying crappy sh** about any of the guys? Everyone of them is up there making music that`s packed with integrity and phenomenal talent, and each is great in their own way, whatever your personal preferences. When Keane plays with them, he adds another dimension and I love it. When he doesn`t, Jimmy is amazing enough on his own. And all the hateful comments about other bands like Phish or whoever, or other fans, and homophobic taunts and all that crap that you see on this site sometimes... c`mon people, we`re better than that aren`t we? I`m sure the band is above all that crap, so the fans should be too. And thanks to Panic and the site for bringing me the music. Haven`t seen a show since Houser was there at the Nashville Riverside Festival. It`s great to get back into it and find such a treasure trove online of some of the best music I`ve ever heard in my life. "

"Ignatius J. Reilly... you have got to be kidding me. the comment you made about john keane is way out of line. he has been there forever with these guy. he is a wonderful muscian. i love seeing him up there with panic they rock. you should really re-think what you said. John Keane is the man and there is no question about it. "

"For what its worth: I`m not a big panic fan, but I`m thrilled that Herring is playing with them. I thought this show was decent, but I agree with wsphouston: TURN UP HERRING. Houser made this band with a scorching guitar tone. If Herring`s volume isn`t out front, then we`re missing out big time. To me, he and Ortiz are the best musicians in the band and I couldn`t hear them clearly even 40 feet from the stage. Finally, the lack of encore wasn`t the band`s fault. Someone else hit this on the head: better for them to play through until the time limit than to step off stage just to do an encore for an encore`s sake. Its the nature of the festival scene. Hopefully the sound will be dialed in by Red Rocks. "

"wow; come on guys; cant we just all get along.... herring is the shit. its that simple....they could have been better but its the first of the tour gig with the new rig; cut the boys some slack; hardly sucks.....you need to find your gears and ride the love tractor...plus one set-r`s are always a personal demon that we all must contend with....rock on boys tune in turn it up dont` panic "

"Show sucked!"

"Take it easy on Keane.The band will always tip their hat to him, as they should.But,Jimmy Herring is the sickest MFing guitarist on the planet right now.His playing on the jam out of drums has raised the bar for this band.Again."

"Great show! Thank God NO John Keane, this guy`s messed up the group long a enough! (Summer Tour 2006 and Fall Tour 2006) Jimmy Herring is free to do what he wants!"

"Yeah, I thought this was an awesome show, start to finish. The jam out of drums was great, Surprise Valley sounded like it did back in the day, Diner just bout brought me to tears, Wondering, Bust It Big>Radio Child, Hope In a Hopeless World opener, the whole show was just great. Jimmy Herring rocks..."

"Everyone keeps bitching about the lack of an encore, but i feel like a band can do its audience no greater duty than to just keep playing for their entire alotted time. FINALLY a band stopped doing all that walk off walk on shit and just jammed for 2 and half hours straight... THANK YOU PANIC for not wasting my time walking off and walking on"

"great show by the whole band, to bad you could barely hear jimmy. to soundmaster, please turn him up. he deserves it. "

"The show was amazing! I too was graced with a spot up front, amazed as always with Dave Schools. Was way hip to hear so many songs from early Panic. Had my first Panic attack 17 years ago at Big Al`s Pumphouse in Greenville, SC, and each show since has felt like a trip back home. Thanks so much , gentlemen, for another great night!!!"

"very energetic show I loved it, the whole entire crowd was getting down...I was front row infront of dr. schools and if you get a chance check out from about 10:30 on in Suprise Valley its sick nasty he just rips it up!! Makes sense to me was kick ass as well...great show just a little dissapointed that i couldn`t keep grooving for an encore. this should be a fine spring tour after seeing the boys for Both New Years shows and Langerado with Jimmy. "

"This show blew away the Mizner show of last year. Jimmmy has stepped into his own, and is playing like he`s been with the boyz for years. They are the best touring band extant right now. God bless Dr. Schools! Pilgrims, Wondering, Diner and Driving Song made the weekend! Gracias!"

"Still waiting for my Panic Langerado encore!!!! "

"Good to be back again....way to start the Spring!!! Festival was amazing as a whole and the boys blew us away to close it...Jimmy has brought them to a new level...the jam going into drums was crazy! "

"Bust It Big>Radio Child and Diner smoke, but the Surprise Valley is where it all takes off. Welcome Back, WSP!"
