IMO, the night that began the greatest 4 year run of any band I've ever witnessed. You want to listen to a great Panic show? Pick any of them from April '98 to April '02 and there you are. It was pretty darned fantastic for years prior, but the boys took it to another level during this period, just flat-out dialed-in every night, it was incredible. RIP Mikey and Todd, miss you so damn much.
@@kirbycaramelo7348 One of the most underrated years is 1997 (because of the greatest 4 year run you are talking about) Please listen to Club Soda Montreal QB and Palace Theatre Louisville - some of the best panic its like so fucking good. Really shows the humbleness of them, even when they were climbing to new heights. They really went everywhere!
Oh, for sure. 97 was insane and I feel like they reached their second pinnacle-first being 93-in 97. Everything was tight and consistent. 98 was solid but 99 was SO much better. They were taking big shots and chances; huge jams; playing 5-6 songs a set some nights. Very psychedelic Panic. I’m a 00-01 kind of guy-they were unstoppable those years and were the best rock n roll band those two years, for sure. After Phish went on hiatus, JB had no clue but he became the prince of Jam. #chills
I had never heard of them until I started working at Bright Wood Works in St Pete Fl, Mike the Owner was a Dead Head and, WSP and Blues Trav"s opened for them... WSP Outshined!
ikr! I stumbled across Panic on youtube just a few years ago (why I love the internet!) and am so sad about the years I missed hearing this amazing music. (have bought several CDs since). Plus pissed that mainstream fm still plays the same ol' same ol'
I also love that. I hear it alot because disco/tall boy are 2 of my favorites from this album, and that intro is dope as fuck. I love those few drumbeats that lead into disco, something about it really grabs me.
Saw them in a school Gym early 90's, Breckenridge Co. Had no clue who they were. Purple veined shrooms was being handed out in the crowd. And here we are...
My girlfriend at the time, who was from the Bahamas, and I got to Athens for this concert I believe the day before the show. When we arrived to the show it was around 2 or 3, and the crowd was really growing at that point. I loved when JB first came out on stage and said “evening ladies and gents!” The crowd went nuts when he said that. JB is such a kind soul, just a good guy, as is the whole band. There is a certain warmth and love in panic’s music that is truly priceless. I saw so many panic shows in the 90’s, from 93-99, and I know this sounds crazy, but it was like literally a calling to all of their shows, and the first time I ever heard them which was in the fall of 92 on cassette, I was immediately hooked, no question about it. I knew right then I would be a panic fan forever. Sunny, you are the bomb dude!!!!!!
Sexiest voice next to JJ Cale! Hypnotic! Bonafide music since their start! A friend of mine has a signed first album he scored at a gig in Richmond. They didn't wanna give it up, but needed gas to get back to Athens🤩💃🏼❤️🔥
I only got into Panic 10 years or so ago. Went to see them at a theater in Minneapolis around 6 years ago-my first and so far only live show. I remember Sonny was wearing a black shirt with the words “home team” on it. There was this celestial glow of white and gold light radiating from him. He radiates love and welcoming and joy in the music. Granted, I was rolling my balls off. But man that was a powerful sight. I couldn’t stop staring at him.
I am so elated to come across this. WSMFP IS MY FAVORITE BAND OF ALL TIME! I'm 68 and just found them 2 yrs ago! I missed so much but am catching up NOW! I'm on chatroom at all audio feeds and saw them 3 times already, GREAT!
I'm glad you enjoy this band and came across this video and enjoyed the video. They stream all their live shows on panicstream.com and you can also listen and download their previous shows . Never too late for anything. Some fans prefer shows before the original guitarist Michael Houser died in 2002 but they still play to this day and they still jam. My first show I went to was in Danville Illinois and I was 20. 2 years later the original drummer had to call it quits due to an illness that killed him in 2020, so I am blessed to be able to have seen him up there on stage as well. Their drummer now is Duane Trucks which comes from a musical family, his uncle was Allman Brothers Band drummer Butch Trucks and his older brother is Derek Trucks who is a former member of the Allman Brothers Band and currently performs with the Tedeschi Trucks Band, check them out as well Derek Trucks is a amazing on the guitar. My brother's got me hooked on Widespread panic when I was about 15 years old. My brother's had this on DVD and always showed me it growing up and I always wanted to show my buddies the video now days being I somehow forgot about this whole video over the years and I could not find the show on UA-cam or anywhere in general and could never find it for some reason. Then one day I remembered to get and rip the DVD that my brother had, so I could upload and share it with everyone, since it was not on UA-cam. The video really does justice for this show. But I could never find the video, so I'm blessed I was able to upload this video and share to everyone that has seen or has never seen it. They might even stream some of their live concerts on UA-cam, I'm not sure on that but there is a lot of videos of the band out there. Check them out! I'll try to get time to upload more widespread panic shows for all of you!
Everyone played off Houser's energy and his changes.(yes that's the guy seated and has stage 4 cancer making that guitar his bitch) Panic was truly passionate about their live shows. Still are it's just different....a different landscape. Some of the shows I attended in the 90s especially in Pelham at Oak Mountain (always a 3 night run) you couldn't help but show your own energy whatever that may be. It was all good tho!! "Listen... If it feels good we shake"
I’m a younger panic fan, never got to see Mikey, but thankfully I’ve had the pleasure of growing up on panic because of my dad. He was in the crowd for this show. He got to see Houser some 50+ times and I’ll forever be jealous of the man. Houser is by far the most underrated guitar player of all time, and it’s a shame not more people know about him
Man we had a good time back then. America was a better place. I'm bobbing around somewhere down there. I remember when they went into Ain't Life Grand, the bottom the sky fell out with rain, and everyone went NUTS. It was a magical show.
I got to set this band up many many times it was the best experience of my life.still trying to play music.dont ever stop guys.so much love for you guys.playing rt through are crazy adjustment in this world.keep love in your heart and there will be no need for widespread panic.you know what I mean family.phillip
I am 63 and I have followed them for years, started not long after they got started. I have seen a great number of their shows. Ironically, I was at this particular show as well with one of my good buddies, and we were fortunate enough to be invited to camp out in a guy’s backyard that we met at the show. That same friend and I will be attending 3 shows in Asheville, NC this July.
Many, including myself, missed the boat on Panic. They are a GREAT band !!! So glad I came upon this show, one of the best live shows ever performed, The energy is palpable every song. Hauser on the tricked out Tele w Wah Wah pedal is masterful. Brilliant guitarist. Gone way too soon, RIP MH
Watching this video is like finally seeing god for the first time. This CD was played at my house to reveling guests for years....I tell you years....and had no notion there was even a video of this....or perhaps sublimely I did not want to see its creator....but god be damn....this band and its birth of Light Fuse Get Away is truly my gospel to a whole world of groove, peace and the love of all music.
I just turned 30 years old, and my brother's got me into Widespread Motherfucking Panic as a kid. They would always show me this show, and I always thought it was so cool. Now that I'm a wee bit older I would always go to show my friend's on UA-cam or any platform of that sort and I'm like fuck it's not on there. And then, one day I remembered to ask to borrow it for that reason, I needed to share it for everyone! It is definitely a gem!
All I knew was my friends said “Panic’s playing a free show in Athens tomorrow.” Next thing I knew we were off down the highway. Man I’d seen em before but had no clue it was gonna be like that.. so many (amazing) people, and such a great show!
I remember when jb was playing at my friend abbat bar Elizabeth reeds in macon.we all start from somewhere.dont give up.much love to jb and the band.we thankyou for getting us through this life.love you all.phillip
So cool, must have been so much fun. I used to live in Athens, but had moved by the time this show came up, sadly. This show is legendary, downtown Athens, featuring Athens best kept secret, and Houser was still with us. What an amazing setlist and well played. Disco, tall boy, and pilgrims are my personal faves from this.
It was a little over 100,000 which beat out Metallicas CD release party few yrs prior. This crowd was largest ever for a CD release party. I was in the mass of people School side about 100 ft from stage. If you were down in that madness there was an RV parked rite down in it. I was between the RV and the stage. 98 was a very seminal and pivotal yr for the Boys. I think i caught about 35 shows that yr. What a ride!!😁
@@ChrisHelms-xm4fm I actually can relate though, my first panic show was superjam in athens, which I think was 93. Was incredible, but unfortunately the show was cut way short due to crazy thunderstorms.
I get goosebumps watching this. I have the dvd but its been a long while since I watched it. We are smack in the middle front row, I'm to the right of the dude with the white hat on the rail with my "Welcome To The Schoolszone" banner. That's the day I fell in love with Athens, GA. Miss you Mikey & Todd ❤🔥We got there a couple of days before & made it to WA St early in the afternoon. The entire street was blocked and the rail was actually at the very top of the hill. As soon as folks began trickling in, the crew instructed us to pick up the rail and walk down to the stage with it. Wish someone had filmed that, it was fun. I always wanted to get a hold of one of those "Light Fuse Getaway" banners & hang it from my deck. My bf then was going to climb up on one of the poles to get one like others were doing but I asked him not to. Amazing show. Best Day Ever. We were so lucky to have been part of that amazing experience. After Panic we went to see Day By The River. 💖
Long Live BaseBaLL!! I cannot express how much Gratitude that I have for these fella's, so I simply show it best I can at shows!! Much Love ya'll!! Rest Easy Mikey ❤
Love hearing these stories on all of your experiences on this show. I acquired this from my older brother that used to tour with Panic. Glad everyone is enjoying this piece of gold!
Our little crew made our way to the 40 watt around noon that day after finding a sweet parking spot underneath a bank drive thru awning the night before. Hadn’t slept a lick or skipped a beat when we started to notice the sheer number of people that seemed to just keep growing. People had started to find showtime real estate at that point with no black top even showing a good 100ft from the stage so we got with it and staked our claim Slightly to the right of stage left if that makes sense. This was at 2 pm by 5 it was all I could do to turn around and look back up Washington to see the largest gathering of People I have ever been a part of still even to this day. I’m Sure I wasn’t the only one that looked down around set break to see a pretty steady stream of “liquids” from the thousands of people behind me spilling beer and heavens knows what else making it’s way even further toward the stage setup. My brother and 2 buddies I was so blessed to experience that with even know the time counts on the video where they repeatedly show us groovin ever so briefly. Our wives and girlfriends are so sick of get together’s from over the past 20 years where the night ends with one of us finding that CD and playing it and talking about that magical moment that night I’ll never forget. It makes me get emotional when I relive it in words like this but at the same time so HAPPY I have to sit on my hands to keep from CLAPPING ..! I’ll be 50 in October but it still feels like it ALL happened last year..! Love to my SPREAD NECKS and SPREAD KIN and I’ll see y’all at the next Show..!
That's awesome man, wish I was able to experience that. I would have been 5 at the time haha. My brother's would show me this growing up and I absolutely loved it, later down the road I got into the jam band scene and never seen this video anywhere on youtube so I had to upload it and share it for all of you freaks.
We are same age. Just turned 50. I went to Alabama. Saw them almost every year from 92-mid-2000’s. They are playing 3 nights in Huntsville this weekend. Haven’t seen them in almost a decade and would love to go. I’ll admit to partying my ass off every panic show i attended.
Lucky, haha, I would have only been 5 years old. Reply with some of your favorite shows. Also, check the 1991 Georgia Theater show I have of WSMFP on my channel.
Hell man me too! It was an awesome show, back in the college days for me. Loved it. Tipitina’s New Orleans December 1993 was phenomenal. Check out New Orleans Halloween 1997 too.
I saw this live. I watched nearly the entire show standing on one of those gigantic, "Big Gulp," truck stop refillable mugs. We were in between the stage and the 1st set of PA towers they had blasting back up the hill at the roughly 240K people behind us. For a brief second (and I mean brief) I can be seen standing on my mug, tripping my face off and loving life. What a magical show and an amazing time to be young and living for any moment, all the moments! We miss you Houser. Four short years after this wonderful performance you'd go on to the great big gig in sky.
I love hearing all of these stories. I was 5 at the time, so I wasn't able to make it, haha. Brother's got me into Panic, I remember them showing me this, and I was in awe, WSMFP!
I was there and it was amazing about ten people were on top of a Volvo station wagon off to the rt of the stage and they crushed the hell out of it.much love to the family.phillip
Sweet this popped up ! Was there I think I was near the 40 Watt / was with a bunch of college friends that came down from Western NC / Had Lots of Fun!
Such an awesome concert. We came over from Tuscaloosa and were near the front in the beginning then I went on adventure and found the drum circles :) One of the funnest shows I have been to, it felt like 100,000+ easily and everyone was so awesome!
You're welcome! I could never find this on youtube. My brother's always showed me this as a kid and my one brother had this on his files for years and I knew it was time. Haha glad you enjoyed it!
I had a CD that had some of the music from this show - I didn't realize that they had made a documentary. This is peak Panic. A band at its full strength and development - it's fanbase, the Spread heads, primed and ready to go, anywhere.
I only discovered Panic 10 years ago, so I’ve only experienced the Jimmy era. I see Mikey has something, but I don’t get why he’s considered the superior Panic lead player. Jimmy is just on another level
I see my hat in the crowd view when they show everyone up front! haha I will never forget this show. When the rain started to come down during Aint Life Grand. It was surreal.
IMO, the night that began the greatest 4 year run of any band I've ever witnessed. You want to listen to a great Panic show? Pick any of them from April '98 to April '02 and there you are.

100%. They were the best band touring in those years-period.

Greatest band ever, today’s modern music sucks
I had never heard of them until I started working at Bright Wood Works in St Pete Fl, Mike the Owner was a Dead Head and, WSP and Blues Trav"s opened for them... WSP Outshined!
The boys were firing on all cylinders that night! I've listened to this live album hundreds of times. SO AWESOME!!!
Hey thanks for this. Im 62 and never even heard of this band before. I feel more jaded than embarrassed! Right on time
Better late then never!Old Dead head who started following them after Jerry died.This show seen live still gives me goosebumps today
ikr! I stumbled across Panic on youtube just a few years ago (why I love the internet!) and am so sad about the years I missed hearing this amazing music. (have bought several CDs since). Plus pissed that mainstream fm still plays the same ol' same ol'
The best band most people never heard of..... outstanding!
Not a problem, glad you enjoyed it!
Welcome aboard!
“Evenin’, ladies and gents!” Never gets old.
Nope! Never did...cuz it meant your evening was about to get lifted into a better/higher realm of existence!✅💯
Beautiful garden
I also love that. I hear it alot because disco/tall boy are 2 of my favorites from this album, and that intro is dope as fuck. I love those few drumbeats that lead into disco, something about it really grabs me.
I know right? One my favorite lines.
I get that same goose bump inducing vibe, whenever I hear old dead shows and Bill Graham introduces them. Really puts you in the moment.
This is what grabbed my legs and pulled me in. 24 years later and they still make me feel like it’s my first time seeing them.
@@goochthemooch1 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Saw them in a school Gym early 90's, Breckenridge Co. Had no clue who they were. Purple veined shrooms was being handed out in the crowd. And here we are...

Thank you for sharing this bit of history!
Yea man this was definitely one of the best shows that I’ve ever been to and Athens used to be such a cool little place
Sunny is the man no doubt. Sometimes I just watch him work at shows
Sexiest voice next to JJ Cale! Hypnotic! Bonafide music since their start! A friend of mine has a signed first album he scored at a gig in Richmond. They didn't wanna give it up, but needed gas to get back to Athens🤩💃🏼❤️🔥
That’s awesome I was born in 92, caught panic for the first time 2018, seen them over a 100 times since . WSMFP
I only got into Panic 10 years or so ago. Went to see them at a theater in Minneapolis around 6 years ago-my first and so far only live show.

Sonny doesn't get the credit!
same with Jojo but thats my bias....

i knew them since 91, but just got into them really and went to my first two shows in Savannah on Halloween!!
Around 100 here. Mostly in the 90s. It was a glorious time for WP live shows.

This might be Panic’s best show but they are still the best band to see live. Coming soon to a town near you.

REAL PANIC
Fact...spring 97 was great but 98 absolute peak..."I hear another song and this one's comin' from the look in your eeeeeyyyyyeee your eye"
All I knew was my friends said “Panic’s playing a free show in Athens tomorrow.” Next thing I knew we were off down the highway. Man I’d seen em before but had no clue it was gonna be like that.. so many (amazing) people, and such a great show!
Exact same experience for me also! Such an amazing time to be alive!
First saw panic in Jackson Hole Wyoming opening for Blues Travelers, didn't know who they were my favorite band since
Mangey Moose-
I was here. This day was as special as any I could ever plan to experience in my lifetime. WOW!
I miss Mikey!
Could be the best concert video ever!

Love hearing these stories on all of your experiences on this show. I acquired this from my older brother that used to tour with Panic. Glad everyone is enjoying this piece of gold!
Saw them at the Fox theater in Atlanta on new years eve of 1998 What a show. I was 16 years old what a great experience I'll never forget.
Hell yeah! I only would have been 5 years old haha.
Can concur...was there and it was epic!
Our little crew made our way to the 40 watt around noon that day after finding a sweet parking spot underneath a bank drive thru awning the night before. Hadn’t slept a lick or skipped a beat when we started to notice the sheer number of people that seemed to just keep growing. People had started to find showtime real estate at that point with no black top even showing a good 100ft from the stage so we got with it and staked our claim Slightly to the right of stage left if that makes sense. This was at 2 pm by 5 it was all I could do to turn around and look back up Washington to see the largest gathering of People I have ever been a part of still even to this day. I’m Sure I wasn’t the only one that looked down around set break to see a pretty steady stream of “liquids” from the thousands of people behind me spilling beer and heavens knows what else making it’s way even further toward the stage setup. My brother and 2 buddies I was so blessed to experience that with even know the time counts on the video where they repeatedly show us groovin ever so briefly. Our wives and girlfriends are so sick of get together’s from over the past 20 years where the night ends with one of us finding that CD and playing it and talking about that magical moment that night I’ll never forget. It makes me get emotional when I relive it in words like this but at the same time so HAPPY I have to sit on my hands to keep from CLAPPING ..! I’ll be 50 in October but it still feels like it ALL happened last year..! Love to my SPREAD NECKS and SPREAD KIN and I’ll see y’all at the next Show..!
That's awesome man, wish I was able to experience that. I would have been 5 at the time haha. My brother's would show me this growing up and I absolutely loved it, later down the road I got into the jam band scene and never seen this video anywhere on youtube so I had to upload it and share it for all of you freaks.
🚜
@Dose Trump cool af you did this. Heard of it but i had never seen it. I had some brothers somewhere upstream of R Christopher ❤😂🤘🚜
We are same age. Just turned 50. I went to Alabama. Saw them almost every year from 92-mid-2000’s. They are playing 3 nights in Huntsville this weekend. Haven’t seen them in almost a decade and would love to go. I’ll admit to partying my ass off every panic show i attended.
Unfortunately I think I’ve got the VHS somewhere which says a lot! They were so connected to each other…rip Mikey and Todd #auntAva 🥺
i loved how they changed up porch song around this time frame and played the beginning slow with the most killer sunny ripping it on the congas
The jams out of slow porches were soooo good 98-02!!
Same. When I think of Porch Song, I think of this version.
Yea it's right..all the roadies where wasted..I was load out crew..one man..lol..thank you Browncat/SAM ❤️
I was there and this was epic.
Lucky, haha, I would have only been 5 years old. Reply with some of your favorite shows. Also, check the 1991 Georgia Theater show I have of WSMFP on my channel.
Hell man me too! It was an awesome show, back in the college days for me. Loved it. Tipitina’s New Orleans December 1993 was phenomenal. Check out New Orleans Halloween 1997 too.
No better music to speed down the highway with the windows down on a sunny day than w/ WSP
Quintessential Panic played in an extra gear. The energy that night was other worldly..."Teach me now what I could never learn before"
Best Aunt Avis!
@@leedabrowski835 top notch for sure
JB and Mikey ripping Space Wrangler! Miss him.
Happy 25th PITS
Quit making me feel old.
dat setlist tho...lahda mercy....... H'YAWW.......YEEEEEWHOOOO
25 years ago. Glorious!! Just so good.
25 years later and WSP still holds up very very well
Cant wait until Red Rocks 2023!!! Been living outside the country for years and havent seen them since 2017 so your boy is an excited little man
rock on!
I was at this show, it was awesome.
Best jam band in the 90s and love.them today
I saw Widespread 3x in the 90's . Listened to Chilly Water over 5000x on cassette, then digital since then. JB has got it down.
Who’s here in 2024 - Dawgs have bama this weekend. Needed some good juju. Shoutout JB, Mikey, and the fellas. Go fucking dawgs
I saw this live. I watched nearly the entire show standing on one of those gigantic, "Big Gulp," truck stop refillable mugs. We were in between the stage and the 1st set of PA towers they had blasting back up the hill at the roughly 240K people behind us. For a brief second (and I mean brief) I can be seen standing on my mug, tripping my face off and loving life. What a magical show and an amazing time to be young and living for any moment, all the moments! We miss you Houser. Four short years after this wonderful performance you'd go on to the great big gig in sky.
I love hearing all of these stories. I was 5 at the time, so I wasn't able to make it, haha. Brother's got me into Panic, I remember them showing me this, and I was in awe, WSMFP!
Seen WSP close to 100 times live..I’m a Spreadhead. This show was one of their very best.
I was there!
These boys sure can play
26 years?!?! Man I'm getting old.
No doubt..I was just thinking 26 hard years lol..love these boys❤
We all are, lol what a time this weekend was, slept in the car in a parking lot, lol
Houser was simply not replaceable. This is some of the dopest Panic i have seen.
I had NO idea there was a goddamn VIDEO to go with one of my favorite albums since 2004! Thank you so much man
What a great video! Long live WSMFP!
WSMFP!
Ohhhhhh please take me back!! 🔥
Just saw them last night in MS! Epic damn set 🙌🏼
Was my first show in Brandon Sunday
I was there and it was amazing about ten people were on top of a Volvo station wagon off to the rt of the stage and they crushed the hell out of it.much love to the family.phillip
Ha thats WILD!
Sweet this popped up ! Was there I think I was near the 40 Watt / was with a bunch of college friends that came down from Western NC / Had Lots of Fun!

I just found this tonight. Stroll in from a Mule show in avl ànd find Panic in the Street. 🧙♂️🏴☠️
Firing on all cylinders that night will always miss seeing Mikey chillin in his chair RIP
Such an awesome concert. We came over from Tuscaloosa and were near the front in the beginning then I went on adventure and found the drum circles :) One of the funnest shows I have been to, it felt like 100,000+ easily and everyone was so awesome!
Thanks a lot for sharing the video! Sheer enjoyment! Love these guys!
No problemo glad you enjoyed it!
I was there. Waaaaaaaay in the back. It was an awesome night!
Lucky!
This was and will always be the greatest concert I ever attended
I wish I could been at this show. I wasn't able to make it. I was 5 years old 😂
Was there 🫠🫠, I miss Mikey so much
Thank you for this video!
No problem glad you enjoyed it
Nothing shy of fantastic. Thanks for sharing.
Not a problem glad you liked it!

"I regret that I have but one thumbs up to give for my country."
Thanx dose man I needed this ❤
No problemo! I'll have more WSP and other jam bands uploaded here soon!
Just saw them in Brandon Ms and last November in New Orleans ✌️❤️🎶 and I could go on 😂
Sweettttttt! My birthday... what an awesome experience this would have been... just a shame I wasn't old enough to do the concert thing...
Thanks Dose❤
No problemo!
This might be my favorite setlist.
I was just outta high school in Metro Atl and went to this show. We were smoking a huge Dub in the bushes.
Will see the boys in Memphis in a couple weeks!
Some of the best live music ever created! Thanks for posting! Great memories and glad a version of this still tours!
You're welcome! I could never find this on youtube. My brother's always showed me this as a kid and my one brother had this on his files for years and I knew it was time. Haha glad you enjoyed it!
so epic never seen the video b4 thx a million
Not a problem glad you enjoyed
I had a CD that had some of the music from this show - I didn't realize that they had made a documentary.
This is peak Panic. A band at its full strength and development - it's fanbase, the Spread heads, primed and ready to go, anywhere.
I only discovered Panic 10 years ago, so I’ve only experienced the Jimmy era. I see Mikey has something, but I don’t get why he’s considered the superior Panic lead player. Jimmy is just on another level
thank you boys
I was there, enough said 😁✌️
Lucky!
“DONT HURT MY TOWN”
LOL
I've always wanted to see this show!! Thank you so much! This is fantastic 😍
No problem, glad you enjoyed it!
Amazing live performance it was! 😏🙃🙂
@@mjenn6154ya and I wasn’t there
I see my hat in the crowd view when they show everyone up front! haha I will never forget this show. When the rain started to come down during Aint Life Grand. It was surreal.
Forgot about that! 🤘🏽🌧️
happy 26th folks
I'm the one that looks messed up😂. That was so much fun.❤
I could listen to them forever🎉
Disco The Best Love the One You're With
Thank you Jesus for my beautiful journey with you..WSP..IN THE STREETS 🔥
I'm glad I got to see him play rwo or 3 times befoee he passed away. Phenomenal guitarist!
i bought boiled peanuts and a basket of georgia peaches at statesboro fair 97 with the space wrangler cassette
😂 Bluemule here. Thanks.
I was there, and there was well over 100-200,000 people. After the show they had reported 1/2 million, but who knows.
Mikey, love tractor, good lord 😮
🔥
I’m a neophyte to WSP. Seen them only once before. May go see them at Red Rocks this Saturday. They’re so good
I ❤ Porch Song ..twirling
