Widespread Panic

"It's been years since the show, but yes, one of the most amazing experiences ever. I could not have had a better time. Thank the Gods for this one!"

"Look boys and girls, this here is the best three night run since Nawlins 10/26-28/2001. So... why don`t you do yourself a big ol` favor and download all three nights, pack up a bowl of your favorite breakfast cereal, and crank these gems up to about 11... NAMASTE! P.S. see y`all in B`ham, Knoxvegas (home sweet home), and over in Nashville... I can`t freakin` wait!!!"

"Just got this from my pal in WA. Sick show . As I listen to it, it still doesn`t QUITE do for me what Asheville did. Grate...but lacking SOMETHING..hmmmmmmmmmmm.VACATION.....thassit. Barstools is smokin` as is `Pusherman` .Beatle`s cover `Run For Your Life` couldn`t have been a better choice. Better `Parson`s` than Asheville( though I hate to admit it).`Schoolgirl` was rockin` and thanks for the `Down` Todd.See ya`ll boyz backsatge in 4 days. peace until then "

" "Schoolgirl" played with verve and zest AND THEN, morphed slightly into a Floydish "Money" type thing during the jam which presented a musically historical glimpse into the whole "Old black blues guys being idolized by all the young Brit rockers" and the musical connections back to the roots of this music we all love to death-----THAT what`s makes PANIC the first real breakout band of the new millenium!! It`s the onstage communication between six guys all focusing and concentrating on what each other is playing/singing----always knowing "the one beat" is out there floating free and able to be grasped----and being forced away from autopilot which most all bands hit song after song on a tour as long as this one. These guys are the real deal. ps to other reviewers----hey guess what, a lot of the freaking saleried Dead people were very redneck! (i was there and witnessed it firsthand several times)"

"All night were really rockin`. Saturday was the grooviest (mostly because they played Fishwater and Ain`t life Grand). Hella tight jams, great cover of the Beatles. Speaking of Fishwater and ALG, check `em they were fucking awesome."

"heavy"

"Between Saturday and Sunday, 4 sets and about 7 hours of playing in literally 24 hours. The hardest working band in rock and roll, without a doubt. I brought a large crew of newbies to this show and it warmed my heart to see them boogie and have their minds blown over and over on Saturday night. When I described the music as "tension and release" their eyes lit up and heads nodded in delight. Of the 3 people I asked who were new to the scene, I asked "which guy is your favorite" and all three of them pointed to George (who we were closest to). None of them knew any history of Mikey or any of that background. It just speaks to the quality of the band and the guys that a guy like George can come in and carry the torch the way he has. Come on back to the Bay Area soon, ok boys?"

"What a great two shows. I never thought they`d top Friday but Saturday was just awesome. I was apprehensive after reading mixed reviews ofr Red Rocks but was pleasantly surprised with both nights. I have to give the nod to Saturdat though, especially the encore. Excellent. Can`t wait unitl Thurs/Fri at Wiltern."

"The show was amazing, the jams mesmerizing, esp. after a hit of "California Medicine" during All Time Low. This was my first Panic show. As a long-time Deadhead, its great to get into a band that is similar, yet totally unique and authentic. I have to point out that they definitely don`t have a hippie ethos. With the misogynist "Run for your Life" and lyrics about a "fag bar" in the encore, "redneck" seems more like it. P.S. Why doesnt this band play Dead covers anymore?"

"Hi everyone- What a night at the Greek. Sad for me and my girlfriend though as it was the one month aniversary of the passing of my long time friend and tour companion..."Atticus Wilson" the all black German Shepherd Dog. He grew up with me in Columbia, MO and probably joined me at 25+ shows. The rest were too hot and he needed to be left at home. His favorite song was Pilgrams and we knew this because everytime the boys played it he would howl....without exception. I think they must have been hitting some notes he loved. Anyway, as you can imagine I was choked up when they broke out the first notes and my whole group of friends from Missouri, Tahoe, SF and LA gave him the tribute he deserved and all began to HOWL through the show. As soon as we heard the first notes I turned to my girlfriend and said "they are playing his song for him" and she said to me "of course they are!" The boys sure are a special band and I want to thank them for making each and every show so special. Thanks for that END OF THE SHOW too. It helped me to come to grips with the fact that it is the END OF THE "ATTICUS WILSON" SHOW! Take Care ALL- Bob Wilson "

"Outstanding. Pusher man was out of this world. conditions were perfect and the boys were in rare form. End of the show almost brought me to my knees."
