Widespread Panic

A couple of times, yeah.

And I tell you, if anybody ever wants to join in, you know, um just just shoot me a message real quick we'll just open that up for a live session and uh you know if you if you got a question i'm pretty good on music theory but i mean everything i do is by ear so it's super i mean i don't care if you like picked up the guitar for the first time and you're just learning like your first two notes or you've been playing for 10 or 20 years that's what i used to do in the guitar shop san ethan georgia I'd be hanging out with guys from like REM and the B-52s and Widespread Panic and all these crazy great bands.

And there'd be some high school kid come in and we'd just be like, come on, kid, join in.

Here's what you do.

U2.

Uh, the, the, what's the jam band? Not Phish, but Widespread Panic.

Widespread Panic.

Do they do it?

Oh, I thought it was Phish.

Yeah, the crap you went through.

But, like, me and my friend, we would go to, like, back in our 20s and 30s, we would go travel to watch, like, Widespread Panic and, like, Grateful Dead and stuff like that.

We were, you know, big hippies and stuff.

So we would do these things-

It had tracks like What Light and also Flesh, and it didn't actually hit any of the charts either.

In 1994, Widespread Panic released Ain't Life Grand.

This was the fourth studio album from the Atlanta, Georgia jam rock band, and it had hits like Airplane, Blackout Blues, and Ain't Life Grand, hit number seven on the Billboard Heat Seekers chart.

In 2019, Post Malone released Hollywood's Bleeding.

Yeah.

Widespread Panic.

Okay.

And Leonard Skinner.

I remember seeing Bush and the Toadies and Hum.

I saw Widespread Panic a few times.

The Mud X concert at Mud Island Amphitheater.

That was a big one.

Resurrection of the Mud Island Amphitheater is underway with ADA compliance nearly complete.

Look, I used to love going to the Mud Island Amphitheater.

I saw Incubus, and I saw 311. and I saw widespread panic, and I saw the Toadies, and I saw all kinds of stuff, all kinds of bands.

They actually had the lawn out there.
