    This is one of the bands I used to work for while they were on tour in 1997. The Neville Brothers opened for them nearly every show. Had so much fun with the Neville family and the SpreadHead fans. The hardest physical work I've ever done in my life was their show in Santa Fe New Mexico at an Amphitheater on an Indian Reservation, Paolo Soleri. There wasn't a great way for trucks to access or get close to the stage, so I ended up carrying (or dragging 😜) items up and down the stairs (where concert goers would sit). My feet hurt so bad after that show that I couldn't even stand up in the shower at the hotel. I definitely didn't get paid enough to work that show, but the experience was unforgettable. I believe the Amphitheater was permanently closed a while ago, which is a bummer. As impractical as it was to have a concert there, it was such a uniquely beautiful place.

      @@ABuddyFL Not familiar with them. Didn't work shows on the east coast, but rather all shows west of Illinois (north and south).

    Holy Shit I've been asking you guys to listen to WSP literally for years. I've requested Blue Indian by Widespread Panic on half a dozen music review channels probably for a total of 300 to 400 times . Not one has ever even acknowledged the requests but one channel after a $20 drop. At least they said the names of the song and the band. You two are the ONLY people I have ever seen do ANY WSP song. I only wish you had chosen one with some pizzazz. If you will _please_ check out Blue Indian Or any song at all from the album _Til The Medicine Takes_ , I'll do my level best to get you more new subscribers. But just playing WSP will get you many all by itself. They have an _extremely_ loyal fanbase. Thank y'all for this. Love to you both.

    My favorite band of the last 25yrs. Their live music is sooo good. Ya won’t hear them on the radio. They never won any awards. Most likely because they never sold out and stayed true to the fans. I’ve seen them live 46x and it never gets dull.

    Widespread Panic is a GREAT live band. They need to be experienced on stage and in your face. WSP have been around for about 25 years and are still going strong, or even stronger. Guitarist Jimmy Herring joined up a few years ago, and has added a lot to the band, helping their sound and presentation. Seen them live myself a few times, and I always look forward to seeing them more, a good sign for a band. Lots of OOMPH!!

    My little brother introduced me to Widespread Panic a few years ago. A sound I definitely hadn’t heard before, and not they are a go-to when I need something easy.
    Great video!

    Very exciting to see an Athens band other than REM and B-52s getting some love. Great fun. Saw these guys a hundred times in the 80’s and 90’s. RIP to Todd and Mikey

    THE BOYS!!!! Live is so much better, but they could play Mary had a little lamb and I’d still shake my tail feathers. You can find a great sitting on the dock of the bay on my page.

    When you're depressed, you are in a serotonin and dopamine deficieny. So the drugs don't work.

    I’ve always thought he means it more literally. He’s depressed because his girl is gone and just can’t get high
    Also speaking of an all time low… that’s another great song of theirs! All time low

    What happened to 60's 70' and 80's reactions, you guys have really gone off the rails latley.

      They are having a live stream tonight covering 70s and 80s rock at 8 pm. 😘 Also, the majority of their reactions released the last few days are 70s and 80s.
