And on the third night of their New Years’ throw-down in Atlanta, GA, Widespread Panic delivered a touching version of Leonard Cohen‘s ‘Hallelujah’ for the first time ever. After three nights of cover-heavy setlists, WSP took the Fox Theatre to church for an intimate reminder to be grateful in entrance of a New Year.
