Title: Widespread Panic
Post by: Alecs on June 02, 2003, 08:12:24 am
They are amazing live and they are the only group or artist that I've seen live more than Vanessa. I've seen Widespread Panic 27 times at this point. The setlist is ALWAYS different. So you can go to show after show from night to night and you won't hear the same show ever!!!! Which is really cool. You may hear about 1 or 2 songs every other show that you heard a few cities back but that's it.

Anyone else ever heard of Widespread Panic form Georgia. Thay only have about 8 studio cd's out now... :razz:
Title: This song is called "Coconuts"
Post by: Alecs on June 03, 2003, 01:36:58 pm
I like coconuts
You can break them open
They smell like ladies lying in the sun
I like coconuts
You can break them open
They smell like ladies lying in the sun
And if I had my way
I'd give a coconut to everyone


I got a friend named Jack
Look like a bone in a paper sack
That's my friend Jack
C'mon Jack, smell these coconuts
There's enough for everyone
Jackie likes the smell of cut grass
He used to play ball on Saturdays
Playing in the sun
Jackie likes the smell of cut grass
He used to play ball on Saturdays
Playing in the sun
If Jackie had his way
He'd give some cut grass to everyone.


It's time to play
Never tasted such a sweet thing
Yesterdays
Sweet memories my heart's repeating
Time today
Everybody's heart is beating
Everybody's smile is greeting
Everybody's soul is heating (eating?)


I know a guy named Fred
Look like a bone in a slanted shed
That's my friend Fred
C'mon Fred, smell these coconuts
There's enough for everyone
Freddy likes the sound of cold drink
He used to pop tops on Saturday
Sipping in the sun
Freddy likes the sound of cold drink
He used to pop tops on Saturday
He was sipping in the sun
And if Freddy had his way
He'd give a cold drink to everyone


Gonna follow my nose to where the coconut grows
Nobody knows like I know my nose knows
Gonna follow my nose to where the coconut grows
Nobody knows like I know my nose knows
Gonna follow my nose to where the coconut grows
Nobody knows like I know my nose knows
Gonna follow my nose to where the coconut grows
Nobody knows like I know my nose knows


I like coconuts
You can break them open
And they smell like ladies lying in the sun
Title: well...

I'm going to see them in Little Rock, Arkansas this Sat. night and then getting up the next morning and seeing them in Dallas, TX!!!! I have already mail ordered tickets for the NYC shows at Madison Square Garden shows for 2 nights in a row for Halloween as well!!!!

I can't wait for some Panic shows!

You guys don't know what you're missing out on!!!   :o
Title: Man!!!
Post by: Alecs on July 30, 2003, 12:31:10 pm
The Little Rock show was smokin' and the Dallas show was even better!!! The new lead guitarist is picking up well. They played so many good songs. I even got hear the Grateful Dead cover of "Cream Puff War" and we had been talking about the song b4 the show. It's a song by the Grateful Dead yet they never played it live. So, Widespread Panic being the jedi masters that they are, discovered it and play it now!

Anyway I can't believe soooooooo many peeps have no idea who this band is still!!! They aren't going to play at all next year and this will be the 1st break that they have taken since 1985!!! go see them while you can!!!

They are heading to Cali real soon!!! like next week I think. They are playing at the "Warfield" in California 4NIGHTS in a row and it's sold out. This should tell you something about the band and the show and the party that is about to unfold.


long live Widespread Panic!!!

I just got back from Austin Texas where I saw WP 2 nights in a row at this awesome venue called the "Backyard". The shows were crazy awesome and we were up front for both of the shows. I got tons of pictures but have not developed them yet.

I'm going to fly to NYC on Halloween to see them two nights at the Madison Square Gardens. I can't wait but I'm kinda freaked out about flying to NYC on Halloween. 8O

Well, I mail ordered for the nyc shows and my money was sent back. When regular tix went on sale they sold out for all 3 night's in 5 minutes. Now they are on ebay for hundreds and thousands of dollars! WTF? :x

Anyway, I got 6 tix for Dallas today and 12 for Tulsa so that is at least something. It was tough even getting those though.  8O

I guess since the Grateful Dead are gone and Phish have split up, all the heads are going to Widespread shows now. :roll:  It's cool but it really sux because it's a real pain in the ass trying to get tix to the show now. :? I can remeber not long ago when it was a peice of cake getting tix...

Has anyone on this board gone to a WP show yet? Probably not but oh well...

they rock! 8)

just got tickets in th mail for the Dallas show coming up in July. But I'm really excited about getting tickets for the three shows in Chicago in August. It's the last three shows of the summer tour and one my best friends just moved there so we have a free place to stay downtown Chicago.  :D I'm stoked because it's one city I haven't hit for shows before.
