It's true! I just got a call from a buddy of mine! He quit before the last show. There is still alot of speculation as to why, but who cares?! Yay!! The fill ins are still up in the air and rumor, but Jimmy Herring, some guy with the last name Keane(sp), and some other guy that's been jamming with them are the main names. I am hoping and praying for Jimmy Herring!
Yay!!!
I might actaully go to alot of shows, now!

Someone else posted this before you, that's probably why it's not getting many replies.

I saw Widespread Panic by myself on New years eve 2006. I got the ticket scalped for $10. I was smoking weed in cleverly twisted cigarettes, and I was all over the city. All over the women. When a man hits the crown, and the air is open, it's so fly. It was so inside. I ended up hugging and smoking these amazing hippy chicks. She smoked american spirits just like me, and RIGHT THERE IN ATLANTA< we smoked oragano on the high bleechers. She hugged me because I spent new years 2006 alone. Just like I spent my 21st birthday. I am a true Maverick gunner, manic, widespread panic Mass interplanet activities.
EDIT P fucking S! I danced so hard that night. Widrespread moved my body. THEY MOVED MY BODY!! Over and over, until I had seven mental orgasms, and at least tw0 later.

This was all live, in Downtown Atlanta, over 8 months and two days ago.

i never really liked widespread, but why is this member leaving a good thing blissed? You seem pretty happy about it.

Yeah Coda, it's a good thing. Their original lead guitarist(Mikey Houser) died of pancreatic cancer, in 2001. The replacement(George McConnell) just didn't fit the bill, at all. He was a good guitarist, but he just wasn't for Panic.
Ani-I will find a good show for you to stream, or something. The album Space Wrangler is really good, too.
Oh and I was the first person to post about this. Someone just posted it today, while my post from last night was sinking.
