Widespread Panic ~ 30 Years and Having a Blast!

Widespread Panic ~ 30 Years and Having a Blast!

09/13/16 Hippodrome Theatre, Baltimore, MD

Review and Photos by Stuart Dahne

Well it was obvious to me that this final full tour is one that will go down in the books as a definite good time! Although the band still plans on playing some festivals and a few well thought out short runs this is supposed to be the last full run! So let’s talk about fun! With the band having a bag of tricks of upward to 300 different songs to pull out of and a new album in the last year you just know that you are going to be in for a treat!!! From the beginning of the Fall Tour which started in Washington D.C. on Sept. 6th and at the completion of this 6th show the Band had played 120 songs without a single repeat and 14 of those songs have not been played in the last 10 shows!  When you couple that with a fan base that is comprised of some of the kindest most appreciative people on earth… how could it not be a great time?

From the moment that David Schools walked out on stage with his smiling face and fun loving vibe, you just knew that this show was going to be on! Then JB came out on stage and said 2 words (Hello Everybody) and it was straight into a musical trip that would carry you through 2 amazing sets that kept the fans on their feet throughout the entire evening! The band was incredibly together, a true well-oiled machine! The interactions and transitions were smooth and effortless, an obvious byproduct of many years of playing together as well as the strong bonds and friendships formed throughout this time.

Their song choices were just great! I loved their selection that included everything from “The Band” to “Levon Helm”! The choice to play Neil Young’s “Mr. Soul into the very untraditional rendition of the age old traditional song “One Kind Favour” was outstanding!

 

Here is what some fans had to say:

Shelly from Reisterstown MD:
Widespread  Panic at Hippodrome last night? Gosh I’m not a great writer, I would just say they sounded so fresh and full of energy – it is hard to believe they will stop touring. I could listen to Jimmy Herring play for hours – those crisp leads and cool sustains and he is just so amazing. And the Duane Trucks sounded like he’d been playing those songs for decades – you wouldn’t even know he just joined up with this band a few months ago – I really liked him. Big Daddy Dave had a couple of funky solo’s that got me moving – and even Marty was grooving (he’s not a big dancer LOL!) As always – I love loved DB – but I really enjoyed hearing him sing a couple by The Band songs and sounding nothing like Levon Helm but such a raspy, cool voice just the same! I enjoyed watching Jimmy play some crazy lead and DB eases over with some melodic rhythm to accompany – *SIGH* Hoping to see them again soon.

 

Mike from Annapolis MD:
Loved the Band medley and Second Skin & Timezones off of Earth to America……I think it is their strongest album in terms of songwriting and accessibility. Musically they sounded tight and on point.
Here is the setlist and some photos, if you were not there then use you imagination… But just know one thing… This Show Kicked Ass!!!!! Thank You Widespread Panic for 30 Amazing Years!

Shanna From Fenwick Island, De.

I haven’t been to a ton of panic shows, but every show I’ve been to have been such an amazing experience. Not just the music, but the people they draw too! It’s sad to think I won’t be catching anymore small venue panic shows with my phamily anymore.
Those guys have such a tight rhythm and watching them play and feed off of each other and the crowd is incredible! Till next time….

Wednesday night at the Fabulous Fox Theatre in St. Louis, Missouri, and the full house was filled with positive vibes as everyone was anticipating a special night. Looking around the beautiful ornate lobby one could see various past Wilco tour t-shirts spanning the band’s history.

William Tyler opened the night of music with material coming from his fourth full-length album ‘Modern Country.’ The trio played a short but mesmerizing melodic set. His backing members included Darin Gray on bass and Joe Westerlund on drums. Tyler called the songs “an adventure in instrumental Nashville.” Before the band wrapped up their set Tyler thanked Wilco for the opportunity to tour with them and for being inspiring and amazing.

Jeff Tweedy a Belleville, IL native mentioned, “I never lived in St. Louis. But I worked here. Not very hard.” The St. Louis crowd erupted with cheers, as he was referring to his days of working at Euclid Records. Which earlier in the day, the band had played a small acoustic set for some lucky fans who had pre-order the band’s upcoming release “Schmilco.”

The band started off the night with the first three songs all coming from the album “Star Wars.” The set list for the rest of the night displayed the bands talent and range as it covered the band’s entire 20 plus year history. Including two new songs “If I Ever Was a Child” and “Nope,” which was dedicated to his father and hadn’t been previously been heard before.

Some standout moments from the night included “Via Chicago.” The song began with a spotlight on Tweedy, and as the song built up to when Glenn Kothce played his epic drum fills the stage exploded with color and light. The crowd roared with exuberant approval. The band crushed the song “Art of Almost” with an epic light show that was beautifully choreographed by light-man, Jeremy Roth. Nels Cline displayed his epic solo skills on several songs including “Impossible Germany.”

The night was capped off with a special acoustic encore, which included the Uncle Tueplo Cover of “We’ve Been Had,” and the John Stiratt written “It’s Just That Simple.”

The band is on tour this fall in support of the upcoming new release next month. For more info check out there website at: Wilco Tour
