I will never give your email address to anyone else. The blog will feature constantly updated pictures I have taken on the road and reviews of any shows I've attended. It will also consolidate all the Jimmy Herring info I can find from the web. I can not vouch for the validity of all rumors.

Great time, and the music was exceptional.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I really have to say how impressed I was by the Alllmans. I've been a fan for a long time, but once Dickey left, I had a hard time with the change in their sound. Well, I'm over it after this week. Derek really ripped it up, as well as Warren.<br />
<br />
As far as WSP went, they killed it each night. Saturday at Mansfield was really someting special. The whole: Conrad, Thought Sausage, It Ain't No Use* > Blight*, Smokestack Lightning** > Chilly Water** <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
* with Derek Trucks on guitar<br />
<br />
** with Warren Haynes on guitar<br />
<br />

Well, it was a rare occurance when WSP played NH last night with the Allman Brothers. Great efforts from both bands made it a very memorable night!<br />

I saw many people booted from the show for smoking, and security told me the band put down a substantial deposit so people could bring beers back to the seats during the second two nights. Thank you WSP!!! For me, seeing WSP in Athens was akin to seeing the GD in San Francisco. Hometown Team baby! <br /><br />The TS opener was nice to hear, and they jammed it out fairly extensively. The heat really began with the Machine > Barstools with the TYFMBME rap in the middle. Jimmy is obviously very comfortable with Machine at this point, and has each transition down perfectly. JB put the crowd into a blissful mood with the rap in Barstools, with the crowd cheering the familiar chorus. Goose pimples! <br /><br />All Time Low was great, flowing into a superb Bear Gone Fishin > You Got Yours. Then John Keane came out and the boys launched into a killer This Part Of Town. <br /><br />What is great about Jimmy with WSP right now is that he really is starting to understand the flow of the songs, which enables his melodic sense to take over during songs that require the dark and the light of his guitar’s tone. When Vic Chestnut came out (YAHOOO!!!!) and the boys jumped right into Aunt Avis > Protein Drink > Sewing Machine the crowd got their view of Jimmy’s special talents in this area. The 3 songs could not have been more beautifully done, and to see Vic up there with the boys was one of the highlights of all the concerts I have seen. The guitar lead to Protein Drink and leading into Sewing Machine may be some of the dirtiest, meanest, and downright awesome music I’ve ever heard out of this version of Panic. I think it needs to be in the rotation…permanently. Jimmy and the boys loved it, with Schools doing the hair flip move while standing behind Vic pounding his bass to end the set. <br /><br />Set break consisted of going outside to the courtyard on the right side of the venue to fight the beer line and sneaking some smoke while in it. <br /><br />Set 2<br /><br />Old Neighborhood kicked on as we were walking back from outside to our seats. Nice solid version, directly into Disco!! Disco smoked as usual with Jimmy really feeling the groove of the song, and it lead into a great Love Tractor. The Tractor was sick, with the usual crowd involvement up a notch more than usual. Next up on this fine menu was some chicken with Contentment Blues. I’m not a huge fan of CB (gasp!), but it was a good version, and nothing the boys were doing was disappointing on this night. <br /><br />Good Greta, if not a little short, and an excellent Cream Puff War. I never can remember that it’s CPW when I hear it with WSP for some odd reason. Then they kept on flowing right into Nobodys Fault but Mine, which I have not heard them play since before Mikey died. I love hearing them play this song because for some reason I always think of it as a GD song, even though it is not. They do such a sweet job with it, and JB really seemed to feel this one as he was singing. <br /><br />North was an absolute MONSTER. Excellent version with Jimmy soaring to ultimate heights, making the PRS sing with such a stellar tone. They went right into a strong Chilly Water, with people obliging tossing water everywhere, and driving the crowd to a frenzy. The security guards did not appreciate this at all. <br /><br />The encore of Can’t Find My Way Home > Postcard > Porch Song could not have been more perfect. I’ve been chasing Postcard for approximately 10 years, and I got it in their hometown, and it was perfect. Just like the rest of the show. <br /><br />Great job boys!!

It looks like RCMH. One big Orchestra section and one huge balcony in beautiful condition. Excellent staff and a very nice place to see a show.<br /><br />What a way to open the show. JB and the boys just tore right into the song with no pretense…no fooling around. The crowd reacted with a large gasp of surprise and proceeded to dance their collective assess off. I’m pretty sure nobody thought Last Dance would open the show.<br /><br />Next up on the menu was one of the new tunes Goodpeople. It is a really fine tune that it seems like the band is just really starting to bring places….especially the middle jam where they turn Jimmy loose. <br /><br />WOTW seems to have gone through a bit of a rejuvenation with Jimmy in the band. He nails the signature licks but also manages to add some his extra magic to it. Very solid version if not a little short.<br /><br />The best past of the first set for me was the Machine>Barstools almost directly into Don’t Wanna Lose You followed closely by Who Do You Belong To? The enite segemt was filled with Jimmy and the rest of the boys smiling and playing off each other. Jojo seemed especially into the jams and was smiling broadly at the peak of Don’t Wanna Lose You, obviously enjoying the interplay between himself and the rest of the band. The crowd was going wild, screaming and yelling while Jimmy whipped them into a frenzy with an inspired solo to peak the song.<br /><br />Ribs and Whiskey was excellent with JB doing some very nice work on the slide. The Take Out >Porch song was perfectly played, sounding like classic WSP with a new twist. Excellent way to end the first set!<br /><br />The first four songs of the second set was played as one song. Surprise Valley was nailed hit out of the gate. Jimmy completely let loose on the solo, and at about 7 minutes into the song, with Jimmy ripping through the scales, I turned to my wife and asked if it was still Surprise Valley? I had lost track of what was going on 1 song into the second set. I knew we were in for some fun.<br /><br />Blight was a gigantic, but pleasant surprise to hear coming with Schools menacing bass line driving the tune. It is one of my favorite songs and I had yet to hear Jimmy play it. Great version!! “Duct tape and plastic” was repeatedly sung by Schools. Jimmy nailed the solo’s in the middle of the song.<br /><br />Next up was Walkin’ after a small feedback issue at the end of Blight. Beautiful version of Walkin’ which I never expected to hear directly after Blight. <br /><br />An inspired Time Zones led into my first Do What You Like, which led to a short Drums with all band members on stage. Then the boys really got down to business with some of the finest WSP I’ve ever heard.<br /><br />1x1, Driving Song>Fixin’ To Die>Driving Song>Wonderin’ was maybe the best song sandwich I have seen WSP play with Jimmy. <br /><br />The 1X1 set the tone with Jojo banging on the keys and singing his heart out.<br /><br />Driving Song was perfect, and then the big surprise of Fixin’ to Die, one of my favorite ARU songs. Then back into Driving Song, and right into a great Wonderin’<br /><br />Jimmy shredded Little Kin’ and then the boys had some lyrical difficulty with MSTM encore, but with the show being as crazy as it was , it fit in and felt right.<br /><br />Another great WSP show!Jay Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02340519951842439306noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20397197.post-74140916819825663662007-03-31T06:59:00.000-04:002007-04-06T12:43:36.287-04:00Update...and this weeks Jimmy Shot.<a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/jaystraw/HRS/photo#5045871701365416562"><img src="http://lh3.google.com/image/jaystraw/RgaJlAYU4nI/AAAAAAAAAX8/9_cECUGX8UY/s400/Jh_03.JPG" /></a><br />pic by Jay Kurinskas, HRSF 5/28/06<br /><br /><br />I'll be posting reviews of the April 1, 2007 show here on Monday.

My seats were directly to the right of Jimmy, and very close to the stage, giving me a great view of Jimmy and the guys interacting the entire show.<br /><br />The most obvious thing I noticed was that Jimmy seems to be really enjoying himself. The rest of the band seems to be loving his take on the music. They are giving him a ton of responsibility, and he is shouldering the load admirably.The band also seems to be interacting with each other more than I have ever seen. I'm not sure how much of it is because Jimmy is new to this music for the most part. It seemed to me that JB and Schools just were always watching and smiling at Jimmy and encouraging him on. Jimmy is always looking to each band member, making everyone smile with his enthusiasm and constant good cheer.<br /><br />The first set was very smooth with a nice song selection. A real surprise to me was how hot the Papa Johnny Road got so early in the show. A very strong version of the song, with JB really belting out the "Beat you senseless" verse. Easily could have been a song in the second set it got going so hard.<br /><br />The next highlight was Jimmy totally nailing the Surprise Valley intro and rest of the song. A smokin' version, and again, especially jamming for a song in the first set. It's so nice to hear Jimmy's tone and slippery smooth guitar licks in this song.<br /><br />The TPOT was very nice. There was nothing especially crazy about it, but it's always nice to hear, and the guys did play the tune well with Jimmy sounding very natural. Always feels like Mikey is around during that song to me.<br /><br />From The Cradle is one of my favorite tunes off of the new album, and is quickly becoming one of my favorite tunes, period! The band and crowd really got into the song with JB really pushing the rhythm and Jimmy going off. Killer version and an excellent showcase of what one of the newer tunes has the potential to sound like live with Jimmy.<br /><br />The Pigeons was perfect for the set closer. The crowd was going crazy by this point, and the band was feeding off of the east coast energy. It was incredible.<br /><br />Long set break, so when the guys came back, people were ready for fun!!!<br /><br />The Chilly Water > Jack > Chilly Water was absolutely mind blowing. Somehow Jimmy seems to have already learned and begun to master Chilly Water within 5 shows. The Jack was beautiful with the lights being framed perfectly to accentuate JB singing the lyrics, and it melted back into Chilly Water, bringing a huge roar of approval from the crowd.<br /><br />Rebirtha was played perfectly. A really rockin' version that Jimmy and Schools pushed into the upper reaches of the stratosphere! Agganis Arena was full of Panic fans who were getting an incredible show, especially since, it was only Jimmy's 5th one ever with these guys!! The band came out of Rebirtha and I fully expected them to go into a drums segment, and instead it went from a Jojo/Schools dominated Jam into this killer Jimmy solo, with Jimmy winding and bending the strings on his Fender, drawing out some incredible stuff for the first five minutes. Then Jojo and Jimmy traded licks back and forth from piano to guitar, mimicking each other into what sounded like it was going to be Imitation, and instead was PILGRAMS!!!<br /><br />It was beautiful how WSP is able to transition from finger pickin' country rock right into the subtle nature of the song Pilgrims. It was the one tune since Mikey passed that I have felt the band could not quite nail. With Jimmy though, it's a whole new bag. The Pilgrims rode the rail between subtle and powerful with no problems. It was a beautiful, almost 20 minute version. One I'll treasure in my memories for years to come.<br /><br />As I expected the drums to start, again....ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!and my friends, what a Rock(or "Rock-Belly" as my friend who has been seeing WSP since 1993 calls it, annoying me to no end) it was. Again, Jimmy manages to hit all the major licks, and then toss in other stuff that accentuates them. His tone on the Fender is dead-on perfect for this music, and he knows how to create the mystical sounds that get Rock from a slow steady beat, to a mad frenzy of music. Re-listening to this show gives me goosebumps during the intro it was so powerful!<br /><br />You Should Be Glad was another excellent example of how these newer tunes are progressing. It's got such a cool, laid back beat, and Jimmy can groove with the best of them. JB is such a master of the lyrics with Schools, Todd, Sonny and Jojo laying down the beautiful rhythm. This was not a song I enjoyed when WSP played Boston on 4/12/05, but this version was much smoother with cleaner segues into each part of the tune.<br /><br />Greta was perfect, with Jojo belting out the lyrics with some JB assistance and Schools backup. Nice harmonies and "It's Mother Natures Call To Arms" is such a cool lyric if I may say so. Again, Jimmy totally nailed to solo's in the middle, and again, perfect tone.<br /><br />Fishwater was as good as I expected it would be since it was one tune I had heard Jimmy play with them, even if it was in 1999. The guys played it as powerfully as the rest of the show, and JB seemed especially seemed into it, stomping his feet and shaking his head.The crowd got pretty rowdy at the end of the song and never stopped clapping and yelling the entire break before the encore.<br /><br />For the encore, JB said "This song was written by one of the sweetest freaks we know" and they flowed in Expiration Day. A HUGE treat for us Northern folk as it's not a tune we get up here much, if ever!! (I did hear one guy say during the break that he was calling it, so good job man!!!)Also, being a big Chestnut fan myself, I could not have been happier.<br /><br />After they finished, JB said "Now here is a song our friend Mike wrote". I got chills all over my body, and my wife exploded with happiness, knowing that Walkin' was to come (it's her favorite song, ever). Beautiful version of Walkin' and the perfect way to end a blissful night.Jay Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02340519951842439306noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20397197.post-1158921790714365342006-09-22T06:39:00.000-04:002006-09-27T12:37:06.510-04:00JHAS Signup<strong><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;">Jimmy Herring Appreciation Society SIGNUP!!!!!!</span></strong><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2287/2043/1600/jimmy_01_052606web.jpg"><img style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2287/2043/320/jimmy_01_052606web.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />If you are interested in becoming part of the Jimmy Herring Appreciation Society, Please email me <a href="mailto:jaystraw@gmail.com">jaystraw@gmail.com</a> with "JHAS signup" in the subject line .

The setlist was OK, but the quality of every song played was off the charts. The first set was pretty standard with Jojo changing the timing and lyrics of BWM. The Sometimes was really well done and jammed pretty extensively. JB on the mandolin for ALG was pretty fun to see! What Jimmy and the Guys did to Diner was an absolute and complete mind f*ck!<br /><br />The best part of this show was this: Diner > Bear's Gone Fishing > Pleas, Low Spark of High Heeled Boys, Climb To Safety > Low Spark> Drums > Love Tractor, Solid Rock, Imitation Leather Shoes Encore: The Take Out > Porch Song or, as some people say, the entire second set!!!<br /><br />The Low Spark hit places that I'm not sure PLF versions even reached, and then it melted away into the Climb To Safety. The CTS was about he sickest one I've seen, and they brought it to placess I've never experienced with that tune. Just when I thought it was going to finish, and then went back into the Low Spark.. Afterduring the end of Drums, Schools came out alone and did about a 10 minutes Drums/Bass solos. Just as he was getting to the peak of the jam, Jimmy walks out and slams into the groove rigth on top of the bass line. The place went nuts, and Jimmy and Dave dueled it out for another 10 minutes or so, absolutely shredding and driving this drums/bass jam into crazy new universes.<br /><br />After that, the Love Tractor was so good I may have broke my index finger by slapping the railing so hard in time with the beat!!! I even really enjoyed the Solid Rock! and the encores were PERFECT in the context of the show. Nice old school stuff.<br /><br />as JB said at the very end of the night 'Congratulations NH!!"<br /><br />Give Me More WSP Right NOW!!!!!!<br /><br /><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">9/19/06 Burlington Vt. Second set review</span></strong><br /><br /><br />- Good People, Heroes, Casa Del Grillo, Weight of the World > Mercy > Drums > Hatfield > Going Out West > Chainsaw City Encore: Travelin' Light<br /><br />This was a sick second set. Jimmy and the guys just absolutely destroyed Mercy and Weight of The World. He nailed every note and expanded exponentially on the solos' and the rest of the band kept right up. The one really cool thing was that near the end of Travellin' Light, Jimmy was slowing down and finishing a solo, but JB kept signaling with his expressions and hand gestures for Jimmy to "Keep It Coming Man!" and as Jimmy picked it up and JB wanted Schools to back down and let Jimmy explore some more, so JB looking like he was directing traffic. Stop sign to schools with the right hand, beckoning Jimmy to "bring it!"with the left.<br /><br />JB directing music traffic from the stage!!!<br /><br />To kick it all, near the end of TL, things got so crazy, JB dropped his guitar to around his waist, turned around and faced the band away from the crowd, and raised his hands up in the air gesturing towards the ceiling, and yelled at the band: "Come on you MOtherF*ckers!!!!!!" Prompting them to play louder and urgng them to keep up with Jimmy!!!! I was insane. JB was off the charts last night. I hope everyone is ready for...TONIGHT!!!Jay Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02340519951842439306noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20397197.post-1155902479259525012006-08-18T07:57:00.000-04:002006-08-18T08:10:52.366-04:00HRS Setlists from past tour<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2287/2043/1600/hrssetlist_081106web.jpg"><img style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2287/2043/320/hrssetlist_081106web.jpg" border="0" /></a>Jay Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02340519951842439306noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20397197.post-1155480030307378612006-08-13T10:39:00.000-04:002006-08-13T15:07:06.846-04:00HRS 8/9/06 Wilkes-Barre, PAThis show, from the very beginning, promised to be an incredible experience. Great people, small crowd, killer band and a very kind house in which to play<br /><br />The venue was the River Street Jazz Cafe in Wilkes-Barre PA. The venue is located in strip mall just off of the highway and you would never think such a nice place would be in such a strange location. Very big, very open venue with perfect lighting during the show.<br /><br />The fact that there were only about 50 people there did not diminish the energy the guys put into the music this night. From the "get-go" the music was tight and full of direction. Much less loose than the previous show. The funniest part was that a setlist was on the stage. Not one song on it was played the way it was written! Typical BLR at his finest!<br /><br /><br />The first set lasted a little over an hour, and the guys took about a 20 minute setbreak.<br />Second set started a little after midnight, and the guys were all smiles:<br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2287/2043/1600/hrs_05.jpg"><img style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2287/2043/320/hrs_05.jpg" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2287/2043/1600/Jh_08.jpg"><img style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2287/2043/320/Jh_08.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />They just totally ripped the roof off the cafe. BLR has started to call Neil Fountin, "Fontain" and the song "Lighthouse" became a tribute to "Fontain" this night with BLR interjecting "Fontain" into several of the verses. He also made up a song, which I'm calling "Fontain". BLR is just a masrter lyrisist and it is stunning how well he can make up songs "on the fly".<br /><br />Here is some video of "Fontain":<br /><a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5878426839367426467">http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5878426839367426467</a><br /><br />Jimmy was in fine form as usual. Just tearing into the music with the Fender, and really feeling the groove. Check out this video of one of his solo's:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFXykoaMprY">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFXykoaMprY</a><br /><br />Jeff Sipe was really into in on this fine night. He really is like a tasmainian devil on the drum kit. I have no idea how he is able to maintain such a rock solid rhythm, and then kick over into jazzy pace in a matter of half a second. He is, as is every person in the band, so obviously a guy who is in touch with his musical soul.<br /><br />Neil "Fontain" Fountain was completely and totally playing wide open. His solo's are the bass equivilent of Jimmy's giutar solos. He is such a great player, and so far ahead of the time and he is playing in that this band is perfect for him. More Fontain Please!!<br /><br />More HRS for that matter please!! After this night I hope the guys can see to playing together at least a few shows a year and keep this magic alive!! When this band is on, they put on a better show that almost any other band I go to see, and it gets better with each show.Jay Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02340519951842439306noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20397197.post-1155132092914212762006-08-09T09:59:00.000-04:002006-08-10T20:06:17.653-04:00Herring/Rodgers/Sipe reviews<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2287/2043/1600/hrs_setlist_080806.0.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2287/2043/400/hrs_setlist_080806.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div align="center"><span style="color:#33cc00;"></span></div><div align="center"><span style="color:#33cc00;"></span></div><div align="center"><span style="color:#33cc00;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><strong>photo by Jay Kurinskas</strong></span></span><br /><br />Great show last night. Very different energy at the show as there were about 50 kids there (out of the 100 or so that were there), who looked 18 but were probably 21, absolutely WASTED and having a great old time. People were screaming and hollering and in general "raising the roof" mang.<br /><br />The Red Square is not a great venue. The lighting was supplied by a total of three out of 20 lights that actually worked. So bad even my fairly sensitive camera could not get much of anything. The sound was pretty bad in the beginning, but improved as they were able to work with the limitations provided by the club. It was MAYBE 20 x 20 and I'm being generous. The AC was broken, so it only worked occasioanlly. The upside of that was a very intimate setting to see these guys just blow away the crowd. Everyone at the show was really impressed, and the guys seemed to be doing a lot of experimentation with the space now left by the departure of Mark Van Allen. The absence of the steel was noticable, but easily filled by Jimmy.<br /><br />They played a lot of different tunes than last tour. All written by Bobby Lee Rodgers, and they are all pretty ripping..and few I did not even know. One tune I knew was the Codetalkers standard Swordcrosser that opened the second set. That was nice to hear!<br /><br />Some of the other tunes were:<br />Miles Ahead<br />Fresh<br />Blow My Brains (encore)<br />Adore/Ignore<br />Broken Home<br /><br />and about 20 more. Set 1 started around 9:15pm and ended around 10:30. The second set started around 11:15pm and ended around 12:15pm. Great show, and I look forward to tonight!</div>Jay Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02340519951842439306noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20397197.post-1154957931100066632006-08-07T09:37:00.000-04:002006-08-07T09:38:51.136-04:00Widespread Panic Fall Tour dates<span style="color:#000099;"><strong>Dates so far from the WSP site:</strong></span><br /><br /><br />FALL 2006 Sep 2006 - Sep 2006 (7 dates)<br /><br />Sep. 14, 2006 to Sep. 16, 2006<br />New York City, NY<a href="http://www.radiocity.com/eventcalendar/home" target="_blank">Radio City Music Hall</a><br /><a href="http://www.widespreadpanic.com/ontour_wpticketing.php">Widespread Online Ticketing</a> Pre-sale is CLOSED $50.00 RSVD On sale 8/4 @ 10am <a href="http://www.ticketmaster.com/" target="_blank">Ticketmaster.com</a> Doors: TBA Showtime: TBA<br />Sep. 19, 2006<br />Burlington, VT<a href="http://www.flynncenter.org/" target="_blank">Memorial Auditorium</a><br /><a href="http://www.widespreadpanic.com/ontour_wpticketing.php">Widespread Online Ticketing</a> Pre-sale begins 8/8 @ 10am EST and ends 8/10 @ 5pm EST $35.00 On sale 8/11 @ 10am EST <a href="http://www.flynntix.org/" target="_blank">FlynnTix.org</a> 802.863.5966 Doors: 6pm Showtime: 6:30pm<br />Sep. 20, 2006<br />Manchester, NH<a href="http://www.verizonwirelessarena.com/" target="_blank">Verizon Wireless Arena</a><br /><a href="http://www.widespreadpanic.com/ontour_wpticketing.php">Widespread Online Ticketing</a> Pre-sale begins 8/8 @ 10am EST and ends 8/10 @ 5pm EST $29.50 GA Pit & RSVD On sale 8/11 @ 10am EST <a href="http://www.ticketmaster.com/" target="_blank">Ticketmaster.com</a> Doors: TBA Showtime: TBA<br />Sep. 22, 2006<br />Boston, MA<a href="http://www.agganisarena.com/" target="_blank">Agganis Arena</a><br /><a href="http://www.widespreadpanic.com/ontour_wpticketing.php">Widespread Online Ticketing</a> Pre-sale begins 8/8 @ 10am EST and ends 8/10 @ 5pm EST $35.00 RSVD On sale 8/11 @ 10am EST <a href="http://www.ticketmaster.com/" target="_blank">Ticketmaster.com</a> Doors: TBA Showtime: TBA<br />Sep. 23, 2006<br />Wallingford, CT<a href="http://www.livenation.com/search/intermediateSearch/searchstring/chevrolet%20theatre/" target="_blank">Chevrolet Theater</a><br /><a href="http://www.widespreadpanic.com/ontour_wpticketing.php">Widespread Online Ticketing</a> Pre-sale begins 8/15 @ 10am EST and ends 8/17 @ 5pm EST $33.00 RSVD On sale 8/18 @ 10am <a href="http://www.ticketmaster.com/" target="_blank">Ticketmaster.com</a> Doors: TBA Showtime: TBA<br />Sep. 24, 2006<br />Upper Darby, PA<a href="http://www.ticketmaster.com/venue/16389" target="_blank">Tower Theatre</a><br /><a href="http://www.widespreadpanic.com/ontour_wpticketing.php">Widespread Online Ticketing</a> Pre-sale begins 8/8 @ 10am EST and ends 8/10 @ 5pm EST $39.50 RSVD On sale 8/11 @ 10am EST <a href="http://www.ticketmaster.com/" target="_blank">Ticketmaster.com</a> 215.336.2000 Doors: 7pm Showtime: 8pm<br />Sep. 26, 2006 to Sep. 27, 2006<br />Charlottesville, VA<a href="http://www.charlottesvillepavilion.com/" target="_blank">Charlottesvilles Pavilion</a><br /><a href="http://www.widespreadpanic.com/ontour_wpticketing.php">Widespread Online Ticketing</a> Pre-sale begins 8/15 @ 10am EST and ends 8/17 @ 5pm EST $35.00 GA On sale 8/18 @ 10am <a href="http://www.charlottesvillepavilion.tickets.musictoday.com/CharlottesvillePavilion/calendar.aspx" target="_blank">Charlottesville Pavilion</a> or call 877.CPAV.TIXX Doors: TBA Showtime: TBAJay Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02340519951842439306noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20397197.post-1154656121419684912006-08-03T21:48:00.000-04:002006-08-05T00:42:25.236-04:00Jimmy joins Widespread PanicAugust 03, 06 -- Widespread Panic is happy to announce that Jimmy Herring will be joining the band as lead guitarist.Jimmy, who in the past, has toured with The Dead and Aquarium Rescue Unit, said he is extremely excited to join his old friends on stage this fall.

In fact, a woman yelled out "How long have you guys been playing together?" near the end of the first set.<br />"Three days" said Neil Fountain with a big smile on his face.<br /><br />The songs are a mixture of Bobbly Lee's originals from The Codetalkers and some new/old stuff he has written. It's all original, and it really smokes. I think this stuff has some serious "legs" and is gonna be around a while.<br /><br />The band is:<br />Jimmy Herring on lead guitar(and playing the 1965 Fender Strat Phil gave him). You know all about him, so I'll save it. :-) He's the man.<br /><br />Bobby Lee Rodgers is the vocalist and songwriter for the group. He plays on electric banjo and an acoustic hollow body Gibson with tape over the holes. He plays the Gibson through a Leslie Effect Cabinet(not to be confused with an effects pedal like Warren uses), which makes his guitar sound an awful lot like a keyboard at times.<br /><br />Jeff Sipe AKA Apt. Q258 is the man behind the drum kit. He was amazing at these shows, and shows a totally different style of play than with Phil. He's MUCH louder and seems very confident playing with his good friends from the south.<br /><br />Neil Fountain from The Fiji Mariners is on bass. He likes to play "wide open" as he puts it, and you can certainly hear his thundering bass in the music.<br /><br />Finally, you've got Mark Van Allen on the pedal steel. He's an amazing player, and totally has the feel of this music deep down in his bones. He knows when to come in and just tear it up, and he knows when to lay back and just add some texture to the music. Very talented guy.<br /><br />The music is really hard to describe. The songs contain no noodles and it's very song based and song driven. I was very suprised that Jimmy seemd to be really hanging back during the first two shows. Not that he was not playing as well as always, but he seemed less dominant than I had ever seen him. As the tour progressed he seemed to be stepping up and taking more of the leads, but there is a nice balance between him and Mark on the steel that blends well.<br /><br />A couple of the best songs IMHO are:<br /><br />All We Wanna Hear, which is in my opinion a beautiful ballad lamenting people always wanting to hear "a familiar riddle" when listening to music. As Bobby Lee says "What we have to fear is already here" when we get complacent in our listening habits. That's just my take on the song since I cannot find the lyrics yet.<br /><br />Blow My Brains is just what is sound like. A rockin' tune about some of life's not so happy moments. This song is absolutely the most hard rockin' tune I've ever heard Jimmy do outside of Dead music. You must hear this song..sounds like Seattle circa 1990.<br /><br />See You is another beautiful song that some very smart folks think sould be the first single off the album.<br /><br />and there are so many more.<br /><br />The Bank show was spectacular in every respect of the word. The shows leading up to it felt like they had been warm ups to the main event. Jimmy was roaring, but with total direction and focus. The steel added the beautiful underline to the song and the bass and drums carried you into a groove. A very, very fun and exciting new sound!!Jay Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02340519951842439306noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20397197.post-1148763989433548032006-05-27T17:05:00.000-04:002006-05-30T11:41:48.080-04:00Herring/Rodgers/Sipe setlists<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2287/2043/1600/hrssetlist052806.jpg"><img style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2287/2043/320/hrssetlist052806.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2287/2043/1600/hrssetlist052706.0.jpg"><img style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2287/2043/320/hrssetlist052706.0.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2287/2043/1600/hrssetlist_052606.0.jpg"><img style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2287/2043/320/hrssetlist_052606.0.jpg" border="0" /></a>Jay Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02340519951842439306noreply@blogger.com0
