Widespread Panic has just released the 22nd and 23rd installments of their Porch Songs Live Archives Series. The series, beloved by fans, picks up with the band near the tail-end of their 2000 Fall Tour with a two-night run in Memphis, TN at the Mid-South Coliseum. Though the band has since returned to the venue three years running, this live recording marks their first visit. Highlights include sit-ins from the brothers Dickinson, Luther and Cody, with song highlights including “Vacation”, “Sleeping Man” “Let It Rock” and “Aint’ Life Grand” encores.

Widespread Panic (John Bell, Dave Schools, Todd Nance, John “Jojo” Hermann, Domingo “Sunny” Ortiz and Jimmy Herring) remain one of the top touring acts in the US, playing to packed arenas, amphitheatres and enthusiastic festival crowds all over the country. Fans continue to travel great distances to take part in the unique communal live experiences, which have grown into legendary status.

 

Widespread Panic is a legendary national touring force and continues to break attendance records in major venues across the country. Never losing sight of giving back, the band continues to organize “food drive events” at their concerts. Since 2008, Panic’s fans have helped raise over $73,000 in monetary donations and over 9,100 pounds of food. The band also recently hosted their annual Tunes For Tots benefit at the Atlanta Symphony Hall. To date, the band has raised well over one million dollars for Tunes For Tots, a program that helps public school music programs by fulfilling their instrument and equipment needs.
