Widespread Panic played a trio of unique shows over the weekend as the band continued their fall tour with two stops in Coney Island, NY and one in Philadelphia last night.
Among the highlights, a decidedly old school setlist in Coney Island on Saturday night that, according to PanicStream, featured 14 songs that debuted in 1990 or before out of the 20 performed on this night. The show included classics like “Disco,” “Arleen,” “Conrad,” “Pigeons,” “Driving Song” and many others.
Last night in Philadelphia, the band welcomed out a pair of guests as Sikiru Adepoju joined the band on talking drum. Adepoju is a longtime Mickey Hart collaborator and member of Planet Drum, The Rhythm Devils and others. On this night, Adepoju joined the fold on an extensive drums jam that emerged out of “Impossible” that also included Richie Nagan on shakers, a member of P-Funk.
Next up for the band is a stop in Baltimore, MD on September 13.
