Going to see Widespread Panic gives me a sort of giddy excitement that only a few other bands can top. Now that they have guitarist "Jimmy Herring":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_Herring in the mix, the energy is insane. They nearly blew the roof off the Landmark Theater in the second set. I will say, though, that I prefer the Pan-Pan in outdoor venues. There are six guys on stage, and that's a lot of sound to be contained by four walls. Our seats were at the top of the theater, too, so the vocals were a little washed out. But no matter. The jams made up for it. And I'm used to dancing on the grass, so the plush carpet was a nice change of pace.Part of the joy of Panic shows, for me, is the interaction between fans. There are really no strangers; we're all united in our love of the music. And I really look forward to seeing everyone in their hippie garb. *Set 1: From The Cradle > Fishwater, Better Off, Angels on High, You Should Be Glad, Flicker > Greta, You Got Yours, GiveSet 2: This Part Of Town > All Time Low > Diner > Party At Your Mama's House > Airplane > Drums > Impossible > One Arm Steve > Love TractorEncore: Pilgrims > Blackout Blues*On the way to shows, I always like to name my 3 wishlist songs for the night. This time I wanted Surprise Valley, Climb To Safety, and Fishwater. Well, I got Fishwater second song of the night. Can't ask for more than that. Flicker is a new song that they're working on, and we Virginians got blessed with it's first on-stage debut. Excellent. Set 1 was definitely a warm-up for Set 2. I think they must've tweaked the sound a little bit, too, cause the vocals were slightly clearer. The boys didn't relent in bringing the hotness - This Part of Town into All Time Low into DINER! into PAYMH into AIRPLANE!!! Then the bongo and drum time ensued. You can always pick out the moderate fans - they sit down during the drum solos, hehe. Anyway, it seemed like a lot of people were complaining about the sound, but always in the context of, "If they sounded that good with crappy sound, imagine how awesome they'll be this summer." I can't wait!!!
