Year's Eve festivities. Over the course of four sets, Panic welcomed many guests including
the Megablasters horn section and even debuted four covers.

The band led a countdown into 2014 before kicking off the year in style with a cover of
"Burning Down The House" by Talking Heads. The Talking Heads's original version of
"Burning Down The House" has been a staple for post-show PA music at past Widespread Panic
performances, but last night was the first time John Bell and Co. actually played the
Speaking in Tongues track. YouTuber Widespreadmusic has shared a fan-shot clip of the Bell-sung "Burning
Down The House":
Widespread Panic also debuted covers of Neil Young's "Journey Through The Past" and "Time
Fades Away" as well as Earl King's "Come On." Stream an audience recording of Panic's NYE
