Some of the best times in college for me was heading down to New Orleans for the Halloween Widespread Panic shows. The band would put on an epic trio of shows, dropping plenty of cover tunes and having guests sit in. 1998, the first year we went, was adequately described by my friend Megan’s ecstatic words “We touched it!”
I was not at this show I am posting. Thankfully my taper buddy Mike Remmers gave me this show’s when we were in Montana the last time I saw him.
This is a nice audience recording. You can hear the tune “I Walk On Guilded Splinters” over here.

“Nice audience recording” is the understatement of the millennium. Belongs in a museum.
I recall driving back from Missoula listening to the majority of this run being amazed by these recordings. This museum piece is very safely enshrined in the Great American Music Archive!
Rest In Peace to my friend, the taper, Mike Remmers.
Got any pictures from this show?
There were some pictures on the CD cover that Mike gave to me but that is it.
