As previously reported, Widespread Panic and Yonder Mountain String Band will ring in 2009 with a two-night run at Denvers Pepsi Center from December 30-31. Though the groups New Years Eve gig is sold out, fans can still watch the show online. Widespread Panic has partnered with iClips.net and Digomo stream to offer a DVD quality webcast. More information on the webcast is available on the groups official homepage.

In other news, Widespread Panic has recently confirmed the information regarding the fifth installment in its Driving Songs series, which will focus on the groups recent Fall Tour. Theres a lot of work that goes in to making any touring entity work and Widespread Panic is certainly no exception, sound engineer Chris Rabold says. Were fortunate to work where we do and trust me we all know it. That being said, long hours, tired bodies and worn out minds inevitably become the norm as a tour drags on. To the folks who for some reason purposely endure this often times uncomfortable, yet strangely rewarding, task I humbly dedicate this final Driving Songs of 2008.
