Widespread Panic’s Raves and Faves

The current Relix cover story on Widespread Panic also includes a sidebar in which the band members share their favorite moments from over the years…

Santa Fe, NM 4/22/92

JOHN BELL // VOCALS/RHYTHM GUITAR

Favorite Song
It’s almost always one we’ve really truly raised from the ground up collectively. An old tune that reflects that is “Contentment Blues.” We were all sitting around and wrote that thing in the kitchen together. “Papa’s Home” was written the same way.

Favorite Show
The very first show! And the first show that we played at Tipitina’s [7/31/90]—that definitely was a big deal.

Favorite Tour
It’s kind of a blur, but when we did that spring tour semi-acoustically in the ski towns. [Sit-n-Ski, 1996]

Favorite Album
I really don’t have one, so as a tie-breaker, I’ll say Til the Medicine Takes because of the album cover.

Bozeman, MT, 7/10/99

DOMINGO “SUNNY” ORTIZ // PERCUSSION

Favorite Song
I would have to say “Space Wrangler.” Also: “Don’t Tell the Band,” “Dyin’ Man,” “One Arm Steve,” “Her Dance Needs No Body,” “Saint Ex,” “Thin Air (Smells Like Mississippi),” “Fishing” and “May Your Glass Be Filled”— just to name a few.

Favorite Show
Madison Square Garden [10/31-11/01/03] and being onstage with Carlos Santana at the Greek Theatre [10/14/01].

Favorite Tour
H.O.R.D.E. [1992]

Favorite Album
Til the Medicine Takes

San Francisco 11/28/97 with Merl Saunders

JOHN “JOJO” HERMANN // KEYBOARDS/VOCALS

Favorite Song
I never get tired of “Chilly Water.”

Favorite Show
New Year’s in 2000 was really special. Definitely one of the highlights of my life was October 30th [2010] when Dr. John sang “Dream Warrior” and “Right Place Wrong Time” with the band.

Favorite Tour
Sit-n-Ski [1996]

Favorite Album
Space Wrangler

I had to search all over Seattle because not many news stands/book stores carry Relix these days and finally found one in W Seattle B&N. Ive been a fan since 95 & I loved the old school photos. One side note, I remember, I think it was back in the Light Fuse Getaway days…when Panic held the Panic in the Streets show in Athens GA back in 1998 at one interview Dave saying his favorite Panic tune to play was ‘Love Tractor’, that’s my fave song for him to play. My friend Amy’s favorite is Pilgrims so Im glad that it is his current favorite :) Thank you for a great article! Its awesome seeing our boys gracing your cover for their 25th Anniversary.

Another brands which is the leader in sports Lys Kamel Plaid T?rkl?de. The latest technologies and most up to date designs have put Adidas Lys Kamel Plaid T?rkl?de ahead of the pack. Flex temples and soft saddle bridges provide a comfortable, pressure-free fit while playing sports. Articles from burberry opbevare online store.Like all Burberry Lys Kamel Plaid T?rkl?de, the Bayswater is exquisitely designed from the very best leather-based. Usually described as “Darwin leather” this is a smooth, vegetable tanned leather which frequently lightens or darkens after a even though. and they also about including: , all the burberry product are top qualtiy and free shipping.The general exuberance and unadulterated joy that Ovechkin brought to the shootout and to all-star weekend in general was just a delight to see. This is exactly what the all-star game is. It a game where everyone lets their guard down a little bit, no defensive is played and the score routinely ends with both teams scoring in the double digits. This isn baseball stale all-star game, where in the 8th inning managers will actually consider making a defense for offense shift in the lineup. In that sense, it is the perfect outlet for someone like Ovechkin, who during his second year in the league dubbed himself bomb when someone asked to give himself a nickname. Because whether it dating his girlfriend with model good looks, driving faster than the speed limit, sinking a hole in one on his first day playing golf, or scoring goals like this, few guys right now are having more fun that Alexander Ovechkin. And although many once celebrated the stoic and largely restrained Sidney Crosby as the necessary centerpiece celebrity of the NHL more and more including the Toronto Star and our own NHL Examiner Kitt Amundson, are calling the NHL to embrace the fun side of life, and a player that seems almost as comfortable off the ice as on. That player is Alexander Ovechkin.
