We’ve compiled videos featuring some of our favorite performances from the past week. Panic covers Wilco, Wilco and Nick Lowe play Cruel To Be Kind, Ween rocks Going Gets Tough From The GetGo, The Motet slay Shakedown Street, Umphrey’s mashes three songs up, 7 Walkers reunites three members of the Dead and MMW teams with Antibalas.
Widespread Panic’s Halloween concert in Chicago featured a cover of Outta Mind (Outta Site) by Wilco.
WSP haven’t been able to sustain the rejuvenation that took place when Jimmy Herring joined the band, and they’ve transitioned to the 6000 capacity Raleigh Amphitheatre after routinely drawing 15,000-plus people in the area just ten years ago.
