Since we’re right in the heart of a Widespread Panic/Allman Brothers Band double bill that so far has featured big, long sets from both acts, along with about as much cross pollination as anyone could hope for, this week’s Stormy Monday tips its hat to the Georgia rockers.
The first cut is Jimmy Herring’s opening notes as lead guitar in WSP, Pleas > Imitation Leather Shoes from Radio City in the fall of ’06 – a brilliant moment. Following that, the Allmans give a nice Revival, and then a scorching Jessica from upstate New York last Summer, followed by JB and Jimmy sitting in with ABB for Can’t Find My Way Home at the Beacon last spring. Finally, it’s back to Panic for the show capper from Rochester in the spring of 1997, Pilgrims > No Sugar Tonight/New Mother Nature. It’s a monster jam to finish a monster show, one certainly worth hunting out if it’s not already in your collection. As always, enjoy!

so are folks still talking about this being Greg’s last outing on the road or is that a dead rumor?
I would say its a possibility but probably not. he seem kind of tired sometimes, i wouldn’t blame the guy.
Greg probably will take some time off after the run but the Allmans as a Band are going to trim back their schedule. Mule has a new album out or coming out soon – Derek has a somewhat new release out – and everyone wants to stretch out on their side projects. Anyway that’s what I have read in some interviews. I think Gregg really likes his solo tour with a big horn section. I know I do! So all is well in ABB land and they’ll be doing their thing and the ABB thing next year as well – just not as many shows under the banner of ABB.

Great mix. Saw WSP & AAB in Philly last weekend – great show & the run is only going to get better. Catch it if you can.
Can anyone give me a lead on what Phish track is playing in the background of the intro.
Thanks
