and although Schools has some nasty chops, he doesn’t have the musicianship Mike and Phil do. They have the ability to fit into the band and make the other members of the band better.
thnkfst, i think you’re just riding high from seeing the best “jam” show you’ve seen in a while. thats all.
The only time at Panic shows I’ve ever felt “that” special feeling I felt at Phish shows was when Herbie Hancock was sitting in with them.
^ i didn’t say they were better, or anything like that, i did say they were 3rd rung, being that the first 2 rungs are gone and done, at least for the time being. Widespread isn’t trying to compete or anything, they are clearly different than the other 2 bands and don’t pander to the audience. Try not to compare when listening and just listen. Widespread knows Jerry and Phil, Mike and Trey are better, they aren’t concerned with that. DEAD and Phish are gone FOR A WHILE soooooo, the best right now with those 2 gone are clearly widespread man. I am a veteran music listener, and let me tell you the way you described their jams is completely wrong from what I saw, there was no telltale “way” they were jamming, just what feels right. Phish is the 2nd best bro, def, but they are no longer with us. If you want to go see a band that will be remembered forever, and go down in history, then Widespread is the way to go. the “other” bands out there cannot hold a candle, not a freakin candle.
I know you didn’t say they were better, I was just trying to point out, in my opinion, why Panic should not be placed just below Phish and GD. If they are, there has to be a large gap between the top 2 and Panic.
Of course Panic isn’t worried about being better than the Dead or Phish, but aren’t you comparing the three by starting this thread? at least to some degree?
I wouldn’t say Widespread is going to go down in history much at all, unless you’re in Athens, Ga.
But really, all of these arguments are pointless, since no one cares about jambands.
O.A.R
maybe 311
;D
Blues Traveler
Spin Doctors.
suit yourselves, but yur missin out. jambands do suck, thank god Widespread is just a classic timeless american rock n roll band that sound nothing like that jamband drivell you all listen to.
I was not comparing, i was just saying trifecta of genius, new, timeless music. that will stand the test of time. your all under 30 or married anyway, what do you know?
just kidding, see you at the show sometime
phish will always be better, and dead will always be better than Phish…FOREVER
I like Panic.
Where did this triangle idea come from?
I think it be in your head.
Dude you’re speaking in absolutes entirely too much. Its not about Better. If any musician starts thinking in those terms, than they’re in it for the wrong reasons.
No band is worried about being better or worse than any other band. They’re just concerned about being the best band They can possibly be. I think Widespread Panic is a Phenomenal live act.
Thats enough for me.

Girls rock your boys! We’ll get wild, wild, wild!
You should go see them again. I live in Memphis, so I can tell you that Memphis in May is a joke. No bands really take it that seriously, its pretty much an easy way to get Memphis off the schedule. Go see a real Panic show. Youll dig it.
Amen… I couldnt agree more. No comparisons between Phish, The Dead, and Panic… but they are the completion to the triangle you talk about.
Ive seen Panic since 1994, and saw them last year with Herring and it was off the hook. He is the missing link in that band.
really? well i liked it. memphis was beautiful, the food was great, the music was everywhere!
plus the boobies n stuff.
^Well you can’t really go wrong with boobies.
