Wondering what the guy does sitting next to Todd.

sitting on the back of your car after a show in the lot watching folks fire off fireworks

the conversations you hear waiting in line to take a piss, (now that is some entertaining chit chat)

sitting down in your seat after the show has ended, the lights have come on, and the house music plays, just watching folks walk around, with a big ol smile on your face b/c the boys just rocked your world

Examples would be Imitaiton at Oak 00 i believe, where Mikey did a little solo jam, before they just destroyed Imitation. Or, Todd's movie quote at Nola 99, right before Legba. The greta at red rocks 01, JB's forever changing lyrics Porch Song, you have a fast porch, a slow porch, then you have the slow fast porch. Last Dance at Berkeley 01, with the Vacation tease in it.

- At least one band member always watching the opening band. I don't think i've ever seen an opening band, and not seen one of the guys watching from the side

- JB's interaction with the band. I love when JB gets to walkin! Often over to mikey, to be received with an ear to ear grin. Then watching dave mosey his way on over there, then just focusing in on those three instruments.

Hot biscuits... and shelter from the storm Posts: 739 Being in NYC and catching a random glance or smile from a woman (or man) during a particularly smokin' jam or segue and holding that connection (7/18/04 11:46) on both sides for a few moments and realizing that the person you just connected with understands..."gets it" like you do. Reply A few months later being at Red Rocks -- sweating/dancing your ass off and looking next to you to find the same person you shared that wordless moment with months earlier and then grabbing onto that person and sharing an intense hug without ever really having to say anything.

This happened to me on numerous occasions during my time with the Grateful Dead and also with Widespread Panic. I believe that these connections are part of what creates that elusive "x-factor" in live music. Just being at Red Rocks with all those like-minded people at the same time and space created a tangible energy that extended to the performers onstage and back out to us.

I miss that energy more than anything. "Want to give everything every minute. Give it all before we go." rollo43 Re: WSP details you noticed...here's to red Solo cups!

---The greatest is when you finally gather all of your buddies that you haven't seen in too long. You've all found your spot. your buzz is just right (because you know how to time your buzz...) and you are high fiving because you love everyone you are surrounded by, looking your best friend in the eye, laughing about something inconsequential with that feeling in your stomach that would make you nervous if you weren't so used to it and know that when it starts it going to feel so good and finally.... the release when the lights go down....

Coast Trash Re: WSP details you noticed...here's to red Solo cups! Throw me from the top of a water fall Posts: 1994 I think one thing that made it so great for me was the constant musical growth. I started in late 92. I only seen maybe (2) shows that year. Then in (7/18/04 13:30) 93 I think I saw maybe (3) or (4) four shows, and it accelerated as the years continued. They were growing like a beast on steroids, the energy was Reply getting stronger and stronger. I would go to shows with these huge underlying expectations thinking there is know way in hell these guys can top the last show, and some how they always did in style.

I always loved it when we would decided to pack and travel last minute and truck half way across the country for a week or two with nothing but camping gear, clothes and cash.

I always loved sitting down in venue like Phillips, only to find your seats are right next to an old friend and his new wife who you haven't seen in (6) years. He was doing very well I might add.

I always love just walking around during setbreak or drumz and meeting new people who you knew you would meet again somewhere along the lines.

I got to be really good friends with this one fella simply because I always liked to sit in the same part of any general admission arena/venue. It got to be such a reoccurring pattern we stared saving seats for each other.

I always loved how no matter what show it was someone in the lot would do something so damn funny that you and your crew would continue to talk about that crazy sh1t for the entire run.

I will never forget the energy and anticipation minutes before you knew the lights were about to fall.

I don't regret one single moment, not one. Some of my non-music seeing friends think its ridiculous how much money and time I have spent chasing these wonderful artists. I tell each and everyone of them the same thing...... "We all choose to invest our money in different ways, while you are investing in tangible items such as property, cars, and other expensive toys I have been investing in memories. Last time I checked you don't get to take any of those things with you when you die. I will take my memories with me to the grave and beyond, they will always put a smile on this soul."

The fakeout the whole of the crowd always pulls before the band really takes the stage... In colesiums, you know because the lights go down, but it still gets me thinking, 'well, maybe the kids down on the floor already see them coming out onto the stage, and the lights haven't been cued yet...' Sitting in an ampitheatre, it is much easier to get confused as to whether the cheers mean to stand your ass up and get ready to boogie... Absence of lights in the first place, and then being short and sitting down.... I'm ALWAYS getting fooled, sometimes standing up four or five times for false starts.... bastards...

This thread gave me (((chills))) more than once. (7/19/04 9:58) Reply the fact that i could drop into that little secret world of wsp and take what i needed from it. during the good times and even the dark times of family tragedy, it always put me back right with the world and the fanbase always restored my faith that humanity is much more good than bad.

some of my favorite things:

houser's bemused half smiles when jb strode over to his side of the stage like a sheriff

jb shaking his head during the middle of a rap, beating the neck of his washburn

when jb cracks on jojo...... "This is a nursery rhyme Jojo's parents used to sing to him" before Can't Get High

when Jojo breaks into the Clavinet for the first time of the night , it would send me off into fits of smasmodic dancing.

like someone else said, all the random funny $hit that occurs when thousands of good-natured, fukked up people get together. the sound of several friends laughing at the dumbasss actions of one of another friend.

the guy wearing the Yoda outfit in the Oak parking lot in 00.

during 00, after seeing almost every run at oak mtn since 92, looking back through all the sick shows on perfectly beautiful nights, and thinking, "The sun always seems to shine on this scene," and then at the moment knowing that nothing in life stays that way for very long......

leaving my granddad's deathbed in pensacola, making a last minute trek all the way to memphis in 00, knowing i'd get by fine on my own. running into friends before the music even started, then hearing from one of them that JB had been spotted on a flight from atlanta, riding coach by himself. cracking a few tears during city of dreams, realizing then that shows and my seldom use of "breakthrough drugs" were my very effective form of poor man's therapy.

never being picky about setlists, knowing they'd always take care of my wants and needs no matter what they played.

wearing my steel toe Red Wings to every show since 99......

walking into the chesterfield cafe in paris in 98, and the first guys i started talking to ended up being from georgia and knowing my roommate from boarding school. hanging out with those good ol boys from georgia during the whole run.

always being once removed from my friends that knew the band and schmoozed backstage. despite having a close connection to them, i always declined invitations......

guilty of this one too.

also: the night before you leave town, you know that you should get some sleep while you can, but can't because of that feeling that you have to hit the road.

making the town the day before the shows and hanging out with your friends grilling, drinking, smoking and reminiscing about last years run.

Reasons why you might be a Freak 1. You take sick days from work to go to a show. 2. You have named your dog after a Panic song. 3. You have other groups but they don’t ever seem to make it into your stereo. 4. You like to drive when you are with your friends who don’t listen to a lot of Panic so you can control the music. 5. You’ve missed family events such as marriages, etc. to go to a concert. 6. You know all the lyrics to all the songs and they never get old. 7. WDYBT, LGTSOTR, LGDTB all mean something to you. 8. You triple count tickets before leaving the house to go to a show, then you hand them to another friend to double-check them. 9. You live by the mentality that there are shows, and then there are the days between them. 10. You ponder doing your thesis in Panic. 11. You, while you don’t want to be judgmental, have recognized that there are those you know and those who don’t. 12. You think it is perfectly logical for a lead guitarist to play sitting down. 13. You see Widespread Panic more often than you see your parents, and the shows are farther away! 14. You try to claim gas rates to and from concerts as an income tax reduction. 15. You tell others you could quit at any time. 16. 1x1 is more than just a measurement to you. 17. You know what it’s like washing windows when you know that there are Pigeons on the roof. 18. You spend more money on disks/tapes than you do on rent. 19. B of D, A of D, and E on a G are more than just a bunch of letters to you. 20. You are going to quit your job when the next sit ‘n ski tour comes. 21. On Monday after the show, you seem to find glitter all over the place, including you keyboard at work. 22. You know more Widespread history than you do U.S. History. 23. Your tapes and equipment are insured; you life isn’t. 24. You find it amazing that people actually fill balloons with air. 25. Your boss starts to notice members of your family only become deathly ill when there happens to be a show within a 500 mile radius. 26. The bus came and you got on. 27. You think $1 for a grilled cheese is pretty cheap. 28. Someone asks you what you do for fun, and you just smile read wide! 29. Others read the paper in the morning, you dash for the computer to check set lists for the night before.

You've all found your spot. your buzz is just right (because you know how to time your buzz...) and you are high fiving because you love everyone you are surrounded by, looking your best friend in the eye, laughing about something inconsequential with that feeling in your stomach that would make you nervous if you weren't so used to it and know that when it starts it going to feel so good and finally.... the release when the lights go down....

YES! You nailed it!

Depending upon which music critics you read, Widespread Panic is a Rock & Roll band, a Jam Band, a Grateful Dead wanna-be band, or perhaps a bluesy-bluegrass band. It doesn't really matter however, because Widespread Panic is beyond classification. They're musicians. They play for themselves and their fans, not for the critics or the record companies, and certainly not for classification.

That silence in the car ride home that lasts a split second before laughter or "highlights" of the show come exploding out of someones mouth.

The amount of alcohol that is consumed during the show!!!

Pittsburgh, PA in summer of '01 - "It's up to you... New... York... New... York" (as we headed for three nights at the Beacon)

Coke Mountain '01 - Sweet Home Alabama (my hometown) and then.... Johnny Cash's "I've been everywhere" ... and we had.

Larkspur, CO, Field of Dreams - "Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to get through this thing called life. Electric word, Life, it means forever and that's a mighty long time..."

and, of course... Coke Mountain '00 - Burnin' down the house

2. Realizing how small the (panic) world is while in a lot at Kahunaville in Wilmington, DE

3. Seeing a stranger wearing a shirt that you or a buddy made when panic isn't even touring and you're in a gas station, mall, or grocery store

4. Using the "staff/freight/kitchen" elevator in the Omni on NYE

5. Mini-tours - just doing whatever shows you can while taking a full load of classes

6. Seeing Jo Jo on Bourbon Street

7. Dogs named Hatfield, Arleen, Jack, Jo Jo, Chilly, etc.

8. Lopez!

I could go on and on...

God, i miss Widespread Panic. ... Funny how that works out!

NORTHrn Girl Re: WSP details you noticed...here's to red Solo cups! East Bound and Down Posts: 244 (7/23/04 1:53) Having your best friend, a casual WSP fan, 1. take an earlier flight home to get there for the show, 2. find the ticket you left under the mat in her Reply car in the airport parking lot, 3. hitch to the venue, 4. get to the venue alone, get herself a beer, and randomly find you in the crowd as soon as she got there. Surprise!

Having a long lost, mostly 'alternative music listening' HS friend now in denver you hadn't seen in years, who doesn't 'panic', go pick the ticket you left her for a RR show at your hotel front desk, 2. drive herself to the lot, 3. find you in the crowd with a minimum of prior direction, 4. convert her to the WSP.

The first 2 times I was ever in SF, I just saw shows and very little of the city, of course running into another long lost HS friend.

For me, and several other people have said this already, its driving to Atlanta, Memphis, or God knows where else, and seeing a car load of freaks heading to the same place. Its the hotels after the show,and the look of the employees as if to say"What in the world are these people DOING!?!?!'

Its the dimming of the lights, and barely seeing JB walk to his appointed place on stage. Its Todd tuning his drums just before a nice Disco opener.

Bottom line, its Panic.

I don't find that statement disrespectful at all. It was a sonmewhat blunt way of suggesting that maybe Eli Manning re-assess his priorities & count his blessings (3rd person from the family to play in the NFL, c'mon!!!) before dictating to an NFL team where he prefers to play at the ripe old age of 22 HeavyK Re: WSP details you noticed...here's to red Solo cups!

Trouble set me free Re: WSP details you noticed...here's to red Solo cups! Global User Posts: 976 A little story: (8/3/04 9:52) Reply ezSupporter I take my girl to her first NOLA run in 2000. By this time she had seen 20-30 shows with me but nothing like a nola run. Anyway, we get to the lot with many friends and the party starts. We find and here we go. Sweet Leaf opener and after that night she finally got Panic. The next morning about 9am she is wanting to go downtown and I have barely even fallen asleep. Finally, I decide to go downtown with her about 10am and we grab breakfast. We are strolling down some side street when I see JB walking toward us. My girl did not even recognize him until I told her. We decide to leave him alone and just say hi as we pass by (wearing an Arleen shirt at this time). When he made eye contact with the shirt he thought we were going to badger him. I explain to my girl that she would have a chance to meet him again some other time. We walked around for 15 more minutes in when we see a Walgreens and I go in a grab a drink. When I come out she informs me that JB just said hello to her and walked by once again. We hang out a few minutes and then head out and low and behold the man is heading toward us again. This time we stop and talk and he is joking about being as lost as we are and asks if we enjoyed the show last night. We talk for a few minutes and get a few pictures with him and head our separate ways. This made our weekend before this monumental run was over. I was amazed to see him out in town that early after a show and thanked my girl for badgering me to go into town with her.

Yeah, he's right. He's pushing back on the guitar body, and forward on the neck, which creates the "dip" or "dive" sound on the chord or harmonic.

Mikey didn't do this because he would wiggle the bridge with his right hand to create the tremelo effect.

Camp 5. 23,020ft. Today we attempt the summit. Norgei is switching the team over to N20 for this final push. At some point during the night Sorenson ate some wild mushrooms he claimed to have bought from a dark haired Yettie at camp 3. He was last seen running into the night naked and covered in glow-stick goo. He is feared lost......

This was late 1999.

I remember thinking how lucky I was to be in that situation at that time at that age with this band.

Everything was purring like a machine for years, and they flew by like lightening.

And I remember how reality smacked me in the face at the Backyard when Houser didn't come on.

Then appreciating being with friends (who are into it) on August 10.

It's been a rollercoaster since then. Thanks for keeping the train rolling boys. I don't want it to end.

Being in NYC and catching a random glance or smile from a woman (or man) during a particularly smokin' jam or segue and holding that connection on both sides for a few moments and realizing that the person you just connected with understands..."gets it" like you do.

A few months later being at Red Rocks -- sweating/dancing your ass off and looking next to you to find the same person you shared that wordless moment with months earlier and then grabbing onto that person and sharing an intense hug without ever really having to say anything.

I miss that energy more than anything.

Thanks for the laughs. These stories really bring back the memories. See you all next year.

xxxSharpiexxx Well I finally took the time to read the whole thing... Moderator Posts: 13497 (9/27/04 20:30) Talk about an emotional rollercoaster. I just spent the last 45 minutes reading this thing from page 1 to the end. I gotta say this is the best thread Reply ever written in regards to Panic.

I'll add a few more antics for laughs:

* My buddy after the first night of the Fox 98 NYE taking his leatherman out, unscrewing the dartboard from some bar we were in and bringing it up to our room. We had darts until the last night, when he brought it back and screwed the board back into the wall of the bar... all in front of the bartender. "Thanks!"

* Talking the attendant at the bowling alley after the Reno 99 Hilton show into letting us play Panic on the overhead. By the time 6:00 am rolled around every lane (100 total) was filled with a panic freak.

* In the Ramada after Red Rocks 99: We took a piece of furniture from every floor lobby on the way up in the elevator. Had a complete room (w/ a potted tree even) and partied all night with any freak that came through.

* Sitting in a hotel room after one of the NYE shows and seeing a kid FALL THROUGH the ceiling (drywall) into the room.

* Playing blackjack at a table with JB after the Reno show. During setbreak that same night he says: "Go win ya some money and we'll be right back!"

Ah, good times.

Reply also, not a wsp gig, but we finished hannah's buddies/hob, and were hangin' out in the hyatt room when after the 2nd security guard visit, he finally tells us that we can go to the lobby "...and be as loud as we want."

'nuf said, we packed up the cooler full of beer and went downstairs to go to the lobby, and "..be as loud as we want" until about 5:30 or 6am.

they should never have told us that there was a air hockey table in the game room. a game room that didn't open until 7:30 or some shitt. there must have been 8 or 10 of us in that stupid lobby, and just about everyone of us approached the night attendents, pleading him to open the game room early.

oak mt., 02, the last night, i can't remember the hotel, we were with some AL (univ of) kids with a block of rooms. we returned to the room, as did our friend denny and his then fiance. the police presence was staggering, even at a hotel, about 15 minutes away, such that, denny and fiance decided it was a good idea to just park the truck at the hotel, and walk to the arby's across the street, safer, ya see? no dui, whatever. they walk through the drive through where the clerk tells 'em that they have "No Beef". denny arrives in the hotel room biatching about the cokes, chicken tenders, and "No Beef". to hear him tell the story, it sounded like a trip to the "outter limits."

sharpie, great stories.

My mind is no place to play alone Posts: 10086 (9/27/04 23:07) my first show/run was red rocks 2000. Didn't have any idea of what to expect. Had listened to space wrangler and loved it, so called my cousin and Reply told him I had bought us tickets to the entire run (he lives in denver). We go friday night and I am blown away by the show, but more so by the feel and the taste in the air from the crowd. I had never experienced such a thing as the panic lot.

So for saturday's show my cousin can't go, so I have an extra. I get to the show and tickets are going for over 100 bucks as everyone wants a ticket since tewsy is being filmed.

I was so impressed with the crowd from the night before that when a young woman asked if I had an extra I told her yes. She asked how much. I said, well I put 20 bucks of gas in my cousins car to get out here so that is all I need for this ticket. Till the day I die I will take the look on her face with me. Shock, elation, compassion all rolled into one. I don't know if she will ever realize I didn't do it for her as much as I did it for what I thought it meant to be a fan and to give back to what I knew would be giving me so much more in the years to come.

Sunday's show was amazing and to get a rainbow to finish off my first run was magical and I will leave it at that.

Another magic moment for me was at new years. I was on the verge of being shut out and then these 2 beautiful people from Baton Rouge found out I was trying to come and they said come stay with us and then they found me a ticket to the show when none was to be found (outside roselawn coming through with the late hookup cheers to you as well brother)

I saw how Mikey's passing effected everyone. The debate of do they bring back Vacation or should they?? It's just a song I thought what's the big deal? When they started the first few notes I got it. It isn't just a song. I looked across the crowd that I proudly call my family and smiled, and then I looked across to my 2 best friends that I see maybe a handful of times a year and seeing them laughing and crying and hugging each other as they listen to the band play the song that will play at their wedding in a few short days. In that moment I realize that I am crying too. Sometimes when your soul can't be any happier tears fall from your eyes.

I can never repay the debt I owe to panic for introducing me to such magical moments and emotions and for introducing me to some of the finest individuals a human could ever hope to meet.

god bless you all. satisfiedwvgirl Re: Well I finally took the time to read the whole thing... BB Elder Posts: 1332 (9/28/04 22:49) Reply Quote:

TRay Re: Well I finally took the time to read the whole thing... BB Veteran Posts: 327 (9/29/04 8:43) Ah! This post is great- a far second to touring but, hell, at least it's something! I got chills just reading it! Reply The people you meet, those people that "get it" We're all family there at those shows and the outside world- reality- is forgotten for those few hours. The rules don't apply anymore ~ it's our own little universe for a while. You stand arm in arm with someone you've never met as if you've been best friends your whole life. When the New Year strikes, it's kisses all around. And even on the "outside" world, you meet someone whose eyes light up at the mention of Panic, and you two form an automatic bond and friendship, as though you know something that no one else around you knows- and you do! You know how it feels to love an experience so much that you physically crave it when you are deprived of it. You know how it feels when you get that song you've been chasing or get to that venue you've always wanted to see. You know how it feels to lose a best friend you never met.

Widespread Panic means so much to so many of us. Sometimes I think it keeps me sane- that escape from reality is something we all need from time to time. Thanks for making me smile today!

TRay Re: Well I finally took the time to read the whole thing... BB Veteran Posts: 328 (9/29/04 9:01) I got so darn worked up I forgot to post my favorite moment! Reply My # 1 favorite moment was in Telluride last summer : We're sitting at the hotel bar when the hotel people start bringing out tons of southern style food- cole slaw, blueberry pie, fried chicken- the works... start talking to a guy who ends up being a crew member, and he says, "we're having a private party tonight, feel free to stay..." Sure enough, the band starts showing up. I got to talk to George about our obsession with Sid Barrett, smoke a cig or two with Schools, drank some cheap red wine with Jojo ~ it was certainly one of the most memorable nights of my life. It was very surreal when it was happening ~ even cooler was having my crew member buddies that I made that night blow me kisses from the stage the next night. That was Telluride experience was something I will always cherish, even the hours I spent in a port-o-let, trying to escape the downpour of the century.

If I had a dollar for every time someone came up to me and said, what is your name? I see you everywhere. I'd be loaded......

and then there those people that I see everywhere. What is it that makes people stick out???????

driving all night with my buddies going to chicago because we "just didnt have enough" in new orleans.

uno lot at night with pyramid.

this austin cat (jason e.?), i think, is his name, has met me, not to mention hung out with us at shows, informed me at one gig last year that it was, like, the sixth time that we've met or some shitt. i can never remember his name, what he looks like. we both just cracked up, and i left for my seat. now, he just approaches, touches me to get my attention, and yells out, as i look puzzled "that's number seven...ba wah ha ha ha ha ha!!!"

MSgirl Re: WSP details you noticed...here's to red Solo cups! BB Regular Posts: 86 (10/10/04 19:22) I always like to refer to seeing a show as "going to a revival" . Such great feelings from so many people at the same time makes me feel invincible. I Reply can't wait until next spring!!

My first show was Mud Island 7/19/97. Boyfriend and I drove 100 miles to meet some friends at some concert that we heard was pretty cool. We had no tickets and no clue. We met our friends in the lot and began our hunt for tickets. We looked for a total of about 3 minutes when these two young girls (about 14 or 15 yrs old) looked very confused and mad. They came directly up to us and asked if we needed tickets and of course we started pulling out money, they told us we could have them both for 20 bucks. My boyfriend said that wouldn't be enough so he handed them 40 bucks and we watched them walk to a minivan with some very aggravated parents in the front seat. The girls got in and left. What a show! We have been hooked ever since. We spent our honeymoon driving to Colorado (and beyond) with a pit stop in Red Rocks for three wonderful days 6 years

later

One of the most sentimental items my husband and I share is the scrapbook I've made containing all of our wonderful memories from a great band and great friends (incidentally, I have added this thread as a few pages into my book because it never ceases to make me smile)

Here is to all of you who I may or may not have met in the past and hope to meet in the future.

______Once upon a time on Tralfamadore there were creatures who weren't anything like machines. They weren't dependable. They weren't efficient. They weren't predictable. They weren't durable. And these poor creatures were obsessed by the idea that everything that existed had to have a purpose, and that some purposes were higher than others.

seeing a man who was otherwise motionless throughout the show animate himself to stir up some nasty sauce in an air-cauldron during thausage

lot kids trading shows like baseball cards

hearing everything from the boys to the dead to marley to the doors as you walk from one end of the lot to the other

cracking open the Companion to check something out and ending up with an hour-long stats conversation

getting the feeling that everyone around you is raging at the same level, looking around at them all girating and just shaking your head and thinking to yourself "This is IT, man"

nearly pissing yourself because you JUST CAN'T LEAVE THE SHOW

that dirty, dirty south

the pizza bread chick

keeping a watchful eye out for those pesky Yashuas

Jeez I could go on and on... Where the hell is Spring?!!!
