Less than one month ago Widespread Panic unveiled the 12th edition of their Porch Songs series of archival releases. Today, they give us #13 which was recorded the State Theatre in Kalamazoo, Michigan on November 11th, 1997. This marks the fifth show from 1997 released as part of the series, with an additional two performances released through the group’s multitrack archival series.

One segment stands out in this latest release and it’s the Disco > Diner > Arleen from the second set. Diner clocks in at an unbelievable 19-minutes before giving away to the General Echo reggae classic Arleen. Porch Songs #13 also features Raise The Roof, only the second archival installment to contain the rarity. Head over to LiveWidespreadPanic.com to purchase the release in a variety of formats.
