With iD1g1t.com under maintenance, I went to Nugs for some streaming music. I decided to try my luck with Widespread Panic, and damn if I don't really like them!

Good sound, good voice, lots of energy, lots of rock... yup, it's official, I like this band!

They are one of those bands where a live recording just doesn't do them justice. They have a great, full, and make no mistake, rock and roll sound but the energy of their shows is not captured on live recordings all that well.

Don't get me wrong, i love the songs, but there is something about being at their shows that is soooo invigorating.

Like Baj says, see them live and if at all possible see them close to Athens, GA. They are ridiculously big there and judging by their shows that i have in the collection they always turn it up a bit for the home town (region) peeps.

...where everybody dances different with familiar grace.

the slip are retarded cousins compared to widespread. The panic have songs, the slip have empty space filled with tinkering nothing.

"The panic" is nothing more than a bad impersonation of the Allmans... The Slip is something new and original... Claiming that The Slip is simply "empty space filled with tinkering nothing" shows your lack of knowledge regarding the band... If anything, die-hard Slip fans are pissed that they've started focusing too much on creating "songs" and moved away from the improvisation that got them where they are...

It's one thing to dislike a band, it's another to make ridiculous comments about them because you are ignorant about them...

the same can be said comparing the allmans to panic. they really sound nothing alike. and you're right about the slip. I know nothing of them other than I've listened to them dozens of times and they still suck IN MY OPINION. I am ignorant about how anyone finds them interesting. It baffles my mind how thats considered good music.
