I went to spend the summer that year with my cousin up in Colorado. We attended this event. For a country kid from Eastern Oklahoma this was a very tremendous experience. I'd barely been out of the county I was raised in let alone seen mountains or this type of music. My cousin passed away long ago but I'm still listening to this stuff. Just saw the guys play last weekend. Greetings and love to all who are reading this.

I was at this show. I lived over the mountain from Telluride for 6 years and had moved away but came back for this show about a week after the Grateful Dead 50th anniversary shows in Santa Clara. Never had so much fun in my life. I had so much fun I almost lost my job. I was 28, hooked up with a beautiful woman in her forties and raged all weekend with her some of my greatest friends. The fallout from the debauchery lasted a week and almost got me fired but it was entirely worth it.

Hatfield was my first “favorite” WSP song and almost 30 years later it still is

People change, places change but one thing that never changes is my love for Widespread Panic

Dave is totally awesome on that BIG Ole six string bass he nails it from low to high amazing

The actual true story of Charles M. Hatfield is pretty badass, and how cool is it JB found his story in an old farmers almanac and wrote one of the best songs ever !! JB FOR PRESIDENT!!!

just discovering them and its fucking fun

Other commenters on this are probably gone elsewhere, but I just dove in the WSP pool. What’s great for me coming in late is like someone telling you to go see a movie you already know the ending to. I just sat back, listened to tunes, concerts, interviews and moved right through the years, woohoo. The only thing is that I wish I could have experienced going through the moments when they were actually happening. WSP has become the Dead’s musical “sister” in my happy little life. Me: smiling and scratching my dog’s ass...life is good.

After all the shows and all the years these guys still make me have goosebumps and very few bands can make that happen in short WSP is the real deal and will always be!!!!

I thank whoever got the mixer to give this video a board feed.😊

I love the look on Schools' face during Hatfield. Jimmy gives the sign to JB to come out of the jam but then he just keeps riffing it. You can see Schools ask, "What happened?" LOL

[lexluthor]

Hatfield's momma strumming a 3 string.. love it. Love WSP. Happy Holidays JB

God I love the sound of the sound of the Modulus. And of course the PRS.

Hi guys,
I was at this show and when they played this song as an opener, I absloutly fliped. So great to be dancing my ass off at a panic show at my home town! Glad I'm old enough (13) to fathom how absloutly awesome this is.

[moetimski]

Holy fuck. Did anyone else hear at 5:00+ minutes, Schools jammed the "China/Rider" transition riff??!!.., goddamn this band is amazing. We Love you Mikey!!!!

[triciacanigliawinslow]

These 2 nights playing @The Ride = Complete Blast!

[flyflywood]

If you want to hear how good the 70s were at their best just go to a WS concert! This has 70s groove all over it.
