After a few weeks off the road, Widespread Panic returned to the road last night by starting off a three-night run at the Riverside Theater in Milwaukee, WI. WSP made their debut at the storied Milwaukee haunt exactly ten years prior, and has kept the location among their regular tour destinations ever since.
Their return to the road was marked by some smokin’ hot Southern jam-rock, as the band opened up with a set that was heavy on originals like “One Arm Steve,” “Good People,” “Holden Oversoul” and more. The jams kept coming in the second set, marked by a huge “Driving Song” that included a cover of J.J. Cale’s “Ride Me High.” The hits kept on coming, and a great “You Got Yours > Climb To Safety” ended the second set.
The encore saw the band return with “Worry” and close out the night with their first “Fairies Wear Boots” since April 2016. Check out the full setlist below, courtesy of PanicStream. A full upload of the show will be available on that website later today.
