thenoblevisions — Mon, 29 Apr 2013 16:05:17 +0000

Gov’t Mule made their way back to Cincinnati on Saturday night. The gorgeous Taft Theater welcomed the band back for an evening of incredible music. Gov’t Mule’s last visit to the Taft Theatre was back in 2010, which then local resident Peter Frampton, joined the band on stage for a few songs. The band took a year off from performing in 2012, and are back on the road performing with renewed vigor. This night the Revivalists opened up for Mule and took the stage at 7:30. Gov’t Mule then took the stage around 8:45 as Warren welcomed the crowd to the show. The dedicated and attentive fans could tell the band was pleased to be back in the superb acoustic setting of Taft Theatre. The band opened up with World Boss followed by Mother Earth. The rest of the first set featured Broke Down On The Brazos > Tributary Jam, Any Open Window, Endless Parade, Unring The Bell with Get Up, Stand Up & Les Brers In A Minor Teases, She Said, She Said > Tomorrow Never Knows with Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds Lyrics.

The band took a short break and returned for a full second set with a cover of David Gilmore’s There’s No Way Out of Here. A first for the band. The rest of the second set was full of pure Gov’t Mule magic. Raven Black Night > Gold Dust Woman, I’m A Ram with Black Dog Tease, Ballerina > Kind Of Mule Jam > Drums > Wandering Child, Lay Your Burden Down > Smokestack Lightning > Lay Your Burden Down, Slackjaw Jezebel. The band would then come back to the stage for a unique encore with members of the Revivalists performing a rousing version of I Shall Be Released.

Widespread Panic and Bloodkin reunited in Louisville to the delight of fans.

thenoblevisions — Fri, 19 Apr 2013 01:37:49 +0000

Louisville’s Palace Theatre was home to Widespread Panic the past two nights. On Wednesday the band reunited with their long-time friends from Bloodkin. The afternoon kicked off with JB and Todd from Widespread and Danny and Eric from Bloodkin playing an afternoon in-studio performance. 91.9 WFPK Public Radio station is located a few doors down from The Palace. Those that pledged to support the radio station were invited to the special 4 song performance and interview. The four sat down at 4pm and played to a group of lucky fans. Photos and links to audio are available below.

Widespread Panic fans would then fill The Palace Theater around 7pm. The line outside the front of each venue has been long every night of this tour. Fans were desperately trying to get their hands on one of the coveted Chuck Sperry spring tour posters. Each night the individual show’s allotment have sold out quickly. The show on Wednesday would be no different, with everyone rushing in to grab one of the prints.

Everyone found their way to their seats and the band took the stage for their second show at the Palace around 7:59pm. The show started off with a resounding version of Pigeons. As we stated in our coverage of Tuesday night’s show, it is nice to hear the band members have come back from their break adding new dimensions and approaches to some of their staple songs. That fresh perspective on the tried and true songs is a welcome bonus for fans this spring tour. A blustery Tail Dragger would rear its head next, followed by an unbeatable segue of Shut up and Drive > Stop – Go > Cream Puff War. If that wasn’t enough for a start, the rest of the set would be just as thrilling. 1 x1 was next with Trouble being played thereafter. The rest of the set featured Cotton Was King, and then a rousing version of Surprise Valley into Junior.

The second set started off with as much energy as the first ended with. The band began with Little Kin followed by Proving Ground. Next the Panic welcomed up Danny Hutchens & Eric Carter from Bloodkin. The fans were treated to Wet Trombone Blues followed by Success Yourself. Wet Trombone Blues was the first song that Bloodkin ever wrote, and it was special to see them play it on stage with their friends at The Palace. The last time that Widespread Panic performed Wet Trombone Blues was on 1/24/94. That’s a span of 1639 shows since fans have been able to see the band perform the song. Not only that, the last instance of the band performing Success Yourself was back on 4/2/00. A 932 show absence. Needless to say, fans were extremely thrilled to witness these musicians back on stage together performing these songs.

Once Bloodkin left the stage, the show took off with C. Brown. The concert then went into overdrive with a monstrous Tie Your Shoes > Driving Song > Diner > Driving Song > Breathing Slow > Chainsaw City.

The encores this spring tour have been nothing short of amazing. The last night of Louisville was another example, with three songs being performed. May Your Glass Be Filled was first followed by the Talking Heads Heaven. Then in a big surprise, the band decided to end the two night run with the fan favorite Tall Boy. Wow is what I heard from fans all around me at this point in the night. Fans were delighted and the band once again burned down the house!

Widespread Panic stopped in Louisville and continued their ferocious spring tour

thenoblevisions — Wed, 17 Apr 2013 17:30:57 +0000

Widespread Panic is back on the road after a year-long hiatus. The band is on their first spring tour in many years. The band made their way into the Bluegrass state on Tuesday night. They visited Louisville’s Palace Theater, which the band has a storied history with. Known for its ornate architecture, The Palace Theatre is a venue that every Widespread Panic fan should see the band perform.

Widespread Panic took the stage at 8pm and as they did, it was apparent that the show would be one to remember. Any fan of Widespread Panic knows, when frontman John Bell takes the stage with his baseball cap on backwards, you’re in for a memorable night of music. The band started the night off with Papa Legba. It is quite clear that after having a year off from playing together, each band member is bringing some new changes and ideas to the table. Each song this night featured small twists and takes on previous live versions. After Papa Legba, the band would then take on All Time Low followed by the JJ Cale cover, Travelin Light. Next a nasty version of Barstools and Dreamers would surface. Once Barstools wrapped up the band would then played Party at Your Mama’s House into Ribs & Whiskey. The second half of the first set featured, Flicker into I’m Not Alone. The band finished off the first set with Weight of The World followed by a dirty version of Bill Wither’s Use Me.

The second set kicked off at 9:49 and started with Better Off. One Arm Steve would follow Better Off. This is where the second set would take off in a fury. Aunt Avis > Greta > Guilded Splinters > Big Wolly Mammoth > Christmas Katie > Let It Rock > Fishwater. Each of these songs were played with intensity from each band member. But what was so noticeable was the band’s interaction with one another, and how they added new elements and jams to each song.

The night ended with Ain’t No Use into Can’t Find My Way Home.

Widespread Panic burned down the house in Chicago Saturday night.

thenoblevisions — Mon, 15 Apr 2013 18:55:35 +0000

Widespread Panic continued their two night run at UIC Pavilion in Chicago on Saturday night. The band performed a smokin show that left fans dancing well after the band left the stage. The band took the stage a bit after 8pm and opened with Heroes. Panic’s lighting director, Paul Hoffman, would then put his new lighting rig through its paces as the band played Space Wrangler and segued into Stop Break’ Down Blues. Paul’s backdrop and the band’s music worked flawlessly to create an awe-inspiring environment. The rest of the first set featured This Part of Town, St. Ex, You Got Yours, Happy, Hatfield, Chunk of Coal and the energetic Henry Parsons Died.

The second set the band put engine in overdrive and lit the house on fire. Love Tractor emerged and fired its engines, as the crowd warmed up for the rest of the unforgettable second set. Who Do you Belong To would follow Love Tractor. The band then busted out Good Morning Little Schoolgirl. What a treat for the fans to hear this seldom played song. Action Man would come in a fury next. Once Action Man came to a close the band played Jack next. The rest of the show from here on out was a roller coaster of a ride. After looking at the second half of this second set, there isn’t much to be said but….WOW! Stop – Go, Surprise Valley, Pilgrims, Chilly Water would round out the set. Just an incredible end to the set! They wouldn’t stop there though. For the encore the band would choose the Panic original Blue Indian. However they also chose to perform a couple covers that every music fan respects. The Band’s Ophelia and The Shape I’m In capped off the two night run. And what a run it was! As the house music started to come on, you could here Talking Heads Burning Down the House coming on. The fans kept the dancing rolling, and would get down for the duration of the song. What and incredible amount of energy in that arena! Enjoy the photos!

Widespread Panic is back on tour and returned to Chicago on Friday night.

thenoblevisions — Sat, 13 Apr 2013 19:52:57 +0000

Widespread Panic is back on the road after a year-long break from touring. The band has only played a handful of shows since early 2012. The night before New Years they played a Tunes for Tots show at Charlotte, North Carolina’s Fillmore. Followed the next night with ringing in 2013 at Time Warner Arena. The New Years celebration was a peek into what the band would bring on the road for the spring tour. Paul Hoffman, Widespread Panic’s lighting director, stepped up the visual display and presence of the band.

Shortly after the New Year’s run, the band traveled to the Dominican Republic for the wildly popular Panic en la Playa Dos. This was the second installment of the event, which first took place in Puerto Morelos Mexico in 2012. A few months later, Widespread Panic embarked on their first full tour in well over a year. This spring tour started in St. Louis on April 9th a the Peabody Theater. The band played two nights and then set course for Chicago.

Friday night the band visited UIC Pavilion. Widespread took the stage shortly before 8pm and started into their two night stay. John Bell greeted the crowd as they started tuning. From the Cradle was the first tune of the night. A standard opening song for the band, it slowly builds the tempo for the start of the night. The next two songs would feature Imitation Leather shoes followed by the fan favorite Bowlegged Woman. The first set also saw the return of Second Skin. It also featured C Brown ,Papa Johnny Road, Goin Out West and Proving Ground.

The band took a short setbreak and returned with a stunning version of Pigeons. The next song is a Bloodkin song the band loves to play. Can’t Get High is always a pleasure for the fans to hear. Next the band played Pleas, and this is where Paul Hoffman used his lighting design skills to show off his ability to capture the energy of the band The visual stimulation, as well as the auditory pleasure, was almost overwhelming at this point of the show. The band would continue into the night delivering a thunderous second set of music. They rocked until a bit after midnight. A full setlist, links to audio, and official download is available below.
