Widespread Panic Memphis 10/4/2005

> Hey Y'All,

> I sent for mail order for these shows as I love this venue! It is a special place to see the Panic! I arrived Monday night and got to see BB King! I already sent a post about that show. Jim, Minie, Charles, and I went on a field trip to Interstate BBQ. The "Sampler Plate" is to die for! I was busy being a ticket broker just before we went in, as Nate sent me 4 sets of ducats to peddle. It was easier than I thought. We go in as doors opened. We saw Dick, our security "friend". We picked a spot DFC in the 11th row. Charles, DP, and I hung up toward the section until almost time for Panic. Jim and Mindy held the spot down below. Burnside Exploration was the opener. They didn't do a heck of a lot for me. The second song, the guitarist broke a string and they had to stop. Low budget, only one guitar. Sam stepped in and gave him one of George's guitars and fixed the string. The only song I recognized was All Night Long. They played about 35 minutes, plenty.

> Panic took the stage at about 7:45. There were lots of empty seats on the upper "wings" of the venue. By the middle of the set, the venue was full. They opened with a rowdy Thousage>Rebirtha. From Hatfield on, they hit their stride! A Bowl Legged in the middle of the set is always nice. Surprise was split with a drum solo. The Vacation out of the Surprise was a very sweet, unexpected choice for me.

> The second set had it's moments. The highlights for me was the jam out of Solid Rock, Mercy, and Pilgrims. It never came all the way together. I enjoyed the first set more than the second set. It is always nice getting a 3 song encore, especially when one song is a barstools, even though it had a rough start. I am not sure if I care for the Vipor. I always enjoyed the Bromberg version, Leftover Salmon version, and even the Ekoostik Hookah version better than the Panic version. A guest appeared on keyboards during Fishwater. He was unawhere that there was a mini drums in the middle of the song, so we got a drums/keyboard duet. All in all, a Panic show at the Isle of Mud, is always a fun time. Fun hangin' with Flynn and Heidi, Bobby and Jessica, Melissa, Kelli and DP, Charles and Mindy, Madison and Amy, Pete, Hugh, Wade, Eric, and everyone else!
