I used to love Widespread. I mean... I really, really liked them alot. I have since cooled down on my passion for the "jam band" scene and have replaced it with an affection for all things electronica. I didn't know that Panic was going to be in town until the day before the show. I even debated whether or not I was even going to go see them. But, I decided to go and I am glad that I went. I really got into this concert. They "jammed out" pretty crucially and reminded me why I fell in love with music in the first place. The whole reason I think music is such a crucial aspect of my life is because I got to see bands like Panic and Phish when I was first learning about "real" music. I felt that same connection that I first felt and it was euphoric. I still am pretty stale on the whole state of rock music right now, but I truly enjoyed my night with panic. I really enjoyed the roots based jams that they threw down. The sound of an electric piano playing a honky tonk rhythm with an electric guitar soaring note after note brings me to a state of mental ecstasy. Although my love affair with rock has died down, I will always think of it like an ex-girlfriend and remember all the good times we shared.
