Can anyone suggest some WSP for me to get into. I've been trying for a while and I haven't been able to get into them. Kind of like SCI but I eventually started digging some SCI. I feel like WSP's songs don't really go anywhere, at least from what I've heard. What should I listen to?
widespread is and always will hold a special place in my heart, my mom was really close to those guys when they were first getting started, and my uncle chris is good buddies with john bell, and to top it all off, i was born in a hospital room with space wrangler playing. Huge widespread fan and these shows are the ones I usually suggest for folks trying to get into widespread:
Houser Era:
4-3-1996 Huntsville Alabama- Always bring the heat in Huntsville. The Diner>Porch Song>Pleas second set opener is fire. Encore of Can't Find My Way Home is incredible
2-7-1996 Jackson Hole Wyoming- Take Out>Tall Boy>C.Brown>Chilly H2O opener is to die for. Second set opens with a Yer Blues into Low Rider
11-20-2001 Johnson City TN- Schoolgirl>The Waker>She caught the katy>Gimmie second set closer with encore of chunk of coal is fantastic and will get your bones shaking
Jimmy Herring Era:
11-08-2013 Asheville NC- Night one of two with a killer Slippin into darkness with Karl Denson, and a Dream Song>Take Out> Porch song encore (rare stuff right there)
6-7-2014 Chattanooga TN- Riverbend festival set earlier this year, panic tends to play "greatest hits" at things like this, much like the dead use to do and much like phish does at a jazz fest or the like when your playing to fans and people who have never seen you before. The Disco>Diner>Tall Boy opener is fantastic. I thought this show would be your typical wsp city festival show, but they sounded amazing, best I have seen them in a long time.
You can find most if not all of these on www.panicstream.com I highly suggest catching some of them, and if afterwards your still not interested, well at least ya tried, I am the same way with phish, never got into them but i tried really hard. Hope this helps. Enjoy!
