Widespread Panic rocks Little Rock May 27 at Riverfest, Tulsa June 19 at BOK Center. They play a different show and unique setlist every time, so you can go to both. They need to bring the Panic tour back through Fayetteville – the last WSP show here was 1997, other than headlining Wakarusa Festival at Mulberry Mountain 2010. Who else is ready to rock? Why worry when you can PANIC! Dgold, Honest Tunes Radio
P.S. Thanks to Grub’s, and Sassy’s, for hosting the food drive and ticket give-away. Giving back to the community and fighting hunger and food poverty is a long-time cause associated with the Panic fan base. I was an early contributor of Panic Fans For Food organization in the mid-90′s at many Panic tour stops. Keep up the good work, generosity and heart. :)
way to go grub’s/sassy’s.
I talked to Allen at Sassy’s yesterday, and let’s just say that if as of now, if you’ve dropped off food for the drive, your chances of winning are good.
Widespread Panic Tulsa 6/19 show moved to Brady Theater from BOK Center, Widespread Panic officially announced today. BOK tickets will be honored.
Brady Theater is much more intimate, and a historic venue, a great place to catch Panic. The only downside is it will be less spacious than the oversized BOK.
Hopefully Grub’s and Sassy’s contest continues. Will they still award ticket prizes? I know the donations will be distributed.
Widespread Panic (show review) played a very good show tonite at Our Lady of the Brady, a historic small theater in Tulsa. The show was originally scheduled for the much larger BOK Center across the street, but moved to the Brady Theater. This was a Food Drive event. I contributed some cases of canned goods and won concert tickets for my friends. It is Panic’s 25th Anniversary Tour, and they may be taking a hiatus from touring in the next year. Jimmy Herring has been with the band on lead guitar for 5 years, and plays incendiary guitar that lights up Panic’s music. Dave Schools is one of the best bass players around and contributed many of the show’s highlights, and JB is a unique, expressive vocalist as ever who never seems to sing a song the same way twice.
Panic opened the show with a Bob Dylan cover. In a wide ranging first set, they explored a funk psychedlic in Bear’s Gone Fishing. A rollicking Stop Breakin’ Down comes as a Rolling Stones cover, with Robert Johnson blues origins. Another jam highlight was the Last Straw, a song with parts and a sinewy guitar weaving about, segue into One Kind Favor (Canned Heat cover, blues tune that bassist Dave Schools sings). This led into Proving Ground, with the groove, and 2 major crescendos, crashing ending that felt like a set closing, then falling back smoothly into the reprise Proving Ground ending. Awesome moment. Epic fakeout. They played 2 more tunes before JB said they’d be back “in two shakes” after setbreak.
Second set opened with Talking Heads voodoo cover, Papa Legba, a fierce rhythm. They covered Tulsa songwriter JJ Cale in Tulsa, Travelin’ Light. Panic’s signature jam Chilly Water, with water spraying around the room from exuberant fans, segued into the darker guitar space of Contentment Blues. The aggressive song Last Dance, Neil Young cover, closed the set with JB crooning about “Monday morning” which comes early enough tomorrow. 3-song encore included Bill Withers song Use Me, and ended with WSP classic cover of Bloodkin Makes Sense To Me. Oddly Panic didn’t play any songs from their newest album Dirty Side Down tonight.
Jimmy Herring killed it on guitar all night, mainly on white stratocaster. JB sang well and was friendly with the audience. Dave Schools was the sonic ringleader, turning the bass bombs up at the right times to rattle you, and twisting knobs on his gear to create catterwalling and screeching sounds in the bridges of the show.
Jweiss and I webcasted the concert live on Ustream.tv/channel/honest-tunes to a worldwide audience of about 1300 viewers.
