Widespread Panic Los Angeles 7-16-2005

> Hey Y'All,
>
> Again, sorry for the delay, but work comes first believe it or not. Night three at the Wiltern had us all anticipating a blow out show. The Bowl Legged> One x One had us going in the right direction. I got my first Vipor, very short. I have seen this song covered several times over the past 30 years by David Bromberg, Leftover Salmon, and Ekoostik Hookah. My favorite version is still Bromberg. The Stop/Go had Dave all over it! JB rapped out 3 Little Birds. The jam out of Nebulous was very strong, I heard TYS again, even though they just played it. George also threw in a Rock and Roll Ain't Noise Pollution tease. Jack was sweet, and they ended with my "favorite", Give (it up).
>
> The second set was full of "A" list songs! The double opener rocked. Always a plus getting a Postcard, This town is nuts, I don't ever wanna leave....". My 1st unexpected moment arrived with the 20 minute Diner. I had no intention to hear my favorite Panic song as they played it at the Greek last weekend. Definate bonus! The Pilgrims>Ribs was sweet. Nice having Matt Abts and Wally Ingram to help out on percussion. Jojo gave us a BWM, but after a long pause, he skipped "Someone throw me a fire" to eliminate getting pelted by lighters. The crowd still tossed a few anyways. The Chilly sandwich a bit loose, was always a good way to end the set. I couldn't have asked for a better 3 song encore. My first Expiration Date since NYE a couple of years back. After hearing this Dylanesque version, I hope it hits the regular rotation. When Coconut led into the opening notes of LAST DANCE, I thought I might lose it. What a surprise!

> The third annual Jerry Day is August 7th so if you are around come on by

> If you've never been to this amphitheater the sound is excellant. Did
