Whats going on rukinders,
anybody going to see widespread panic play on their fall tour?
I know they are doing Halloween in New Orleans, and NYE in Denver, but Ill probably catch at least the two nights here in Atlanta.
Wish I could do NOLA! Has anyone ever been to the UNO Lakefront Arena? heard it was pretty cool.

I love watching Jimmy Herring tear it up.

Between NYE and Rothbury this past year, they seemed to have really stepped up their knowledge of how to blend themselves together. I sometimes wished they had a crazier keyboardist though

Hey Weirimpressed, I'm pretty sure I'll be going to the Atlanta show the first night. But the second ATL show (10/18) conflicts with Buckethead. I've never seen to the chicken man live, so that's my priority this time. Also I'm considering the two Charleston shows. It doesn't take to too much to get me to head to the coast.

Are you seeing buckethead in athens or atlanta? I think he plays here (athens) on October 20th, so Ill be seeing him then. But two nights of Widespread should be fun, the coast is always fun though!

Atlanta. Already got tickets. If I'm still psyched after that, I may do the Athens show. The only problem with Athens is the shows are always notoriously late in starting. I have to plan to stay the night or else drive back at 3 AM.

wow, you probably had a great time then
Ann Marie tore it up that show, she was hanging with Jimmy the whole time.
The fireworks at the end were great too

I wish they were doing Verizon, or better yet Piedmont Park, but Lakewood's pretty good.

I heard they brought the heat in Kansas City, is that where they are closing the fall tour at?
I cant believe they are moving NYE to Denver instead of Atlanta, Ive always had a blast at Phillips (even if the sound is not the best). I guess its either Derek Trucks or STS9 this year
