Widespread Panic kicked off their winter tour with two nights at the glorious Classic Center, playing on February 9th and 10th to an enthusiastic hometown crowd. Just days after returning from Panic En La Playa, Widespread Panic got back in the saddle and hit the ground running in the ol’ U.S. of A.

With Duane Trucks back behind the kit, the band loosened up on night one. The full recap from the first show can be found here. On night two, however, the band was thoroughly warmed up and ready to rock and roll.

Panic welcomed John Keane, the famed record producer who has worked with the likes of R.E.M, Indigo Girls, and Panic in the past. Keane would join on acoustic guitar for “Degenerate,” before switching over to the electric on a cover of Buffalo Springfield’s “For What It’s Worth” to close out the first set.

Keane would return intermittently throughout the second half and for all of the encore, joining in on a bust-out versions of “Fishing” and “This Cruel Thing.” What a show! This band is really in fine form, and there’s no telling what they can accomplish when they jam out on stage.

Next up for Panic is a performance at the Altria Theater in Richmond, VA this Friday, February 12th. Check out the full setlists from PanicStream, as well as a photo gallery from Benjamin Adams, below:
