If it's too loud...

Well, the concert fuckin RAWKED. Really did. Started the night off at Lennie's brew pub -- nice little microbrewery in town, had a big-ass kalamata olive, italian sausage, and feta calzone along with four tasty made-right-there Belgian whites.

The thing I like about great ensemble playing, something that the Grateful Dead were masters at doing (and something that Widespread Panic do very well) was to create such wonderful sonic layers with their music. You can pick out any of the band members and lock in on whatever they are doing - and be assured that they are probably doing it very well. Or you can listen to them combined and just let the music surround you. It's all good.

Anyway, as for the show -- I wont recount the setlist besides to say that they offered up a VERY tasty version of "Tonight's The Night" in honor of Neil Young's recent health problems.

Again, to check em out: Widespread Panic or for live downloads Live Widespread Panic.

(oh yeah, I do have one mean ear ache -- and the ears are ringing like crazy... but fuck it, it's ROCK N ROLL)
