Brute is the collaborative output of Vic Chesnutt and Widespread Panic . Their shared Athens, GA roots allowed for a beautiful concoction. Vic's lyrics absolutely burst to life out in front of Widespread Panic's musical prowess. Their first recording together, Nine High A Pallet (1995) has been almost all I've listened to since receiving from a friend while rounding out my Vic Chesnutt discography. It's that good. It would be over seven years before Chesnutt would again team with Panic under the Brute moniker. [...]
The latest installment of Widespread Panic's Porch Songs series of 2-track sourced archival releases features every note of music from the group's first headlining appearance at Red Rocks in Morrison, CO on May 31, 1996. Since that initial appearance, Widespread Panic has played the legendary venue 38 more times making Red Rocks third on the list of venues who have hosted the band the most times after Athens' Uptown Lounge and Georgia Theatre. Porch Songs Volume 6 comes from an interesting era in the band's [...]
Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News Getty Images After headlining Bonnaroo in Tennessee earlier this summer, the Kings of Leon now have their sights set on conquering the West Coast version of that festival -- Outside Lands . But while Bonnaroo was hometown territory for the Kings, Outside Lands takes place in San Francisco -- a city that drummer Nathan Followill (pictured) claims is near and dear to his heart... but 2,000 miles [...]

I had a horrible nightmare, I dreamed that we went... back in time . It was terrible. Well...We're safe and sound now, back in good old 2010. We've got a nice collection this week, opening up with long instrumental exploration, members of The Grateful Dead, a jamband's first show in over a year and some topical humor dedication from our friends from down south. [Thanks to Craig T for this week's photo] And we continue to take all the selected tracks, normalize them, create some simple [...]
According to the Guinness Book of World Records, Irv Gordon and his 1966 Volvo P1800 hold the record for most miles driven at nearly three million. But that shagged out hippie-van that has been following Widespread Panic since 1986 must be getting pretty close. After all, as Panic embark on the final week of their summer tour, they have already announced an extensive fall tour. Before they do anything, however, the six-piece - which are now all creeping up on the age of 50 - will be taking a well-deserved month off between their final summer [...]
As Widespread Panic embarks on the final week of its summer tour, the group has announced plans for an extensive fall tour. The tour kicks off on September 17th in Morgantown, WV and continues through to a three-night stand at the Kiefer UNO Lakefront Arena in New Orleans, LA that ends on Halloween. Along the way JB and the boys will perform two shows at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre in Alpharetta, three nights at the legendary Ryman Auditorium in Nashville and three nights at the Fox in Oakland.

Widespread Panic @ Radio City Music Hall, July 23 Widespread Panic met a bit of a harsh reality in performing at the storied Radio City Music Hall for the first time since July 21, 2007. In stark contrast to their last visit - which was packed with excited folks bouncing off the rafters - the band played to spotty attendance and a largely unenthusiastic crowd. Probably a third of the first mezzanine contained vacant seats and it just got progressively worse as you went up from there. As a result, the energy of [...]
The phrase "the show must go on" originally referred to Broadway and show biz, but the cliché also rings true with live music. Considering we're talking about rock stars playing demanding, high-energy music it's no surprise that a number of instances of bands playing one man short have come up over the years. It's actually more of a surprise that it doesn't happen more often. For this week's B List we look at ten cases where acts we cover have performed without the services of one member. Some gigs were train [...]

WSP @ RCMH Widespread Panic made a stop in New York City yesterday to play Late Night with Jimmy Fallon ahead of their Thursday show at Radio City Music Hall. They also made some time to hit the marquee to help promote the show. Tickets are still on sale. [...]
Widespread Panic are one of the most iconic jam bands, hailing from Athens, GA. The legendary troupe are playing a gig at Radio City this Thursday, but not before actually getting on top of the famous music hall...as per the below image. Killer!

Widespread Panic made their first appearance on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon last night and performed North. The jam legends return to town on Thursday for a show at Radio City - tickets are still available . Widespread Panic - North (Live on Fallon)
Gov't Mule fans were a bit confused when a fresh batch of Stockholm Syndrome tour dates was announced that included a few shows which conflicted with Mule's trip out west in September as Danny Louis handles keyboards for both bands. Turns out Louis will skip the SS gigs on September 3rd, 4th and 5th to honor his commitment to the Mule. For those who aren't familiar with Stockholm Syndrome, the band features Dave Schools on bass, singer/songwriter Jerry Joseph, Eric McFadden on guitar, drummer Wally Ingram and Louis. The group's [...]
"Space Wrangler" "Tallboy" "Can't Get High" These are the first three songs that Widespread Panic rolled out in Eugene. The first three songs is also the allotted amount of time a concert photographer has to sufficiently capture the essence of a show and the band that leads it. I am personally used to this limitation and have accepted it. However, during Panic's set, these three songs flew by. It seemed to me like these fifteen minutes lasted more like five. I got down [...]
Widespread Panic DAY 1: Friday @ 9:45 - 12:15 on West Stage Widespread Panic may be one of the highest-grossing touring bands in the world, but that shaves nothing from their rock credibility. Their continuous evolution, while remaining true to the roots they've planted in blues, jazz and southern tradition, has allowed them to expand their prowess and appeal. "We love Forecastle," said Panic keyboardist JoJo Hermann, "We will definitely be back." And so they've returned. [...]
During the peak hours of the year I search for tapes on my usual sites and realize: Oh, all the big dogs are out at the same time. And that's what this week's edition is going to be, four of the biggest touring acts that allow taping every night: Dave Matthews Band, Furthur (Featuring Bob Weir & Phil Lesh), Phish and Widespread Panic. [Thanks to wmule for this week's photo] And we continue to take all the selected tracks, normalize them, create some simple fades and [...]
Jam bands are in a group all by themselves, a unique breed of equal parts prog, blues, and general improvisation all around. Jam fans cater to acts that have a heartwarming and earthy foundation to them, that dispense an atmosphere of familial welcoming. Phish, Grateful Dead, Dave Matthews Band, and of course, Widespread Panic ; they are mainstays in this category, managing to keep ever-loyal listeners coming in droves to their concerts and festivals year after year. Widespread Panic has a mile-long discography of jam, blues, and alt-country records, but the sound never changes much [...]
