Widespread Panic’s legendary stop in Montreal at Club Soda on September 8, 1997 will be featured as the fourth release in the Widespread Panic Archives series that hits stores on October 6. Among the highlights of this killer show at the approximately 400 capacity venue are the appropriate Barstools and Dreamers, a jammed out Greta and a stellar four song encore.

While we’re talking Panic, the band announced their fall tour yesterday.

I wish I was more excited for the recently announced Tom Petty live anthology that’s coming out, but I get the sense that much of the material Petty is putting out already makes the rounds. Sure, more casual fans won’t have this stuff but casual fans aren’t shelling out for five CD sets. I hope I’m wrong, because I’ve been waiting for a live Petty set for a long time.
