WSP Spring Tour

Ahhh... looking forward to coming home to Raleigh :-)

see you in columbia!

Ohhh yeah! Murfreesboro! Jimmy still tearin it up

Disappointed that my only chance to see them on Spring tour is at JazzFest, but overjoyed to see that Walnut Creek is *officially* Walnut Creek once again...no more "Alltel Pavilion."

what the hell, i thought this was JAMbase, where is all the coverage of JAMBANDS?? seriously, this site has completely sold ou--

whoops.

I can't wait to see the boys this spring with lots of multi night shows. I wish they would swing out west in the springs so I can drive instead of fly. I also wonder if we will get a night show in NOLA

Really disapointed to see only one weekend in the Northeast ... Bummer!

WOW-3 nights in Orange Beach!!!!! If it's anything like last year, I'm totally pumped!!!

4/25-4/26....I'll be there straight from WVU.....What a graduation present!!!

!!!RALEIGH!!! Giddy UP!!!

Once again MOejoerisin stop bitching.

I wish they would play at Northerly Island instead of Chicago Theatre, That would be classic. I'll probably end up at the chicago theatre shows, though.

oh hell yeah....looks like i found a 4/20 show for the spring

whats with widespread never showin any love for PA???

Ha - right on moejoe. There has been quite a bit of that going on lately. Hopefully this will calm some of them down!

and as ussual. Just like most bands do, they disregard boston. I just dont understand it. I go to all the good shows around here and they are always packed. Yet for some reasons the good bands dont seem to want to play to us? Where ny, chi, LA and phili get 3 or 4 shows a years from alot of these guys, boston gets 1 if they are luckey. But it just doesnt make sense, the shows around here are always at least 90% full. And the club shows for bands like um, bisco and the like are always sold out with lines half a mile long at showtime... So what going on? Is it too cold? When you spit hot fire, like panic certainly does, the cold should not be a concern... Show us some love. ps, i feel really bad for the people who dont get any shows, shit, imagine living in north dakota... all they get is clearchanel aka new world order radio...

Nationwide?

i dont give a god damn if this has nothing to do with the article!!! why the hell is jambase allowing thier advertisement space to be filled with blake lewis. To all you slaves out there who give people shit for criticizing what jambase covers i have one thing to say. This is your fault. How do you feel about a boyband peice of trash like this guy all over your favorite website? Keep whining about critical comments in the forums and youll all be doing the macarena to the backstreet boys who will be headlining the next bonnaroo... You stupid sheep slaves. Do not criticize this post unless you state whether or not you like blake lewis. If you like him, then go fuck yourself, if you dont like him then join me in criticizing jambase. First it was a huge writup about jayz which was completely inappropriate, now this sellout scumbag piece of crap all over the website.

The Auditorium is one of the best venues ive been to in chicago, those shows are gonna rock!

shmo-kinn.. not sure if you got it, but that was a fairly obvious joke.. i never 'bitch' on jambase threads, just trying to make fun of those who do.. so many people whine about how jambase is changing directions and not covering jambands enough, when they probably cover more jam stuff than ever, along with some non-jam.

kcreb got it.

I have never posted a comment on Jambase, even though I have been a site-user for four years or so now. However, I felt compelled to comment about the Blake Lewis ad. That shit sucks. I not only encourage, but I APPLAUD Jambase for their coverage of all good music, jam-related or not. What the world calls "jambands" are not enough to satisfy my musical appetite. (It's such a muddied label, anyhow, with everything from funk to bluegrass being labeled "jam".) So, Jambase, please continue to cover and support GOOD music. But a Blake Lewis ad really throws a blow at both the credibility and respectability of the site. Don't insult your users by supporting music like that...we know better, and so do you.

P.S. Go Panic.

Isn't Blake Lewis one of the Coachella Headliners?

Yeah! I hear ya Delaneyira! I was planning on centering a trip to Boston around the Panic show. But I will have to say you are not neglected in Boston as far as music goes! I've seen a Panic show in Boston twice in 2001, twice in 2003 and one more again in 2005. Also seen in Boston one or more times; Gov't Mule, Galactic, Denson, Other Ones, The Dead, moe. and Project Logic. Come down and live in southwest Virginia and feel the neglet we get! It sucks!

wow! the boys haven't played in Murfreesboro since '01! but on a Wed. nite???? ahhhh what the hell i'll be there!

Sorry moejoerisin. my mistake!! I like you, am just really tired of negative people getting on here just to tell everybody how horrible this site has become. I think its great!!

Another Jazzfest performance. Its just not the same as a UNO performance! I would be nice to have one of those old school Halloween weekends in NOLA!

Shmo-kinn has problems with people ripping non-jam articles, but he has no problem prematurely ripping into a human being when he obviously didn't even read the entire post (which was a joke). Maybe you should make sure you understand something before you have an opinion about it...just a thought.

Or...maybe its OK to be negative as long as YOU decide what people can be negative about.

Y'all can say what you want about Blake Lewis, but I like him. No, I would NEVER go out and buy his CD, but I voted for him the entire season during American Idol last year. It's been quite a while now since Jambase has started incorporating ALL TYPES of music onto their site, so are y'all really THAT surprised? Hell, they did a f'in show review on JAY-Z for Christ's sake!!! Props to Blake. I think he's a talented, young artist, and maybe STS9 will pick him up for some freestylin' on their Summer tour. KIDDING! ...just saying, it's not like it was an add for Hinder or Nickel Crap or something.

Who is blake lewis?

Speaking of American Idol. Katherine McPhee was hot. I got the McPhever. I heard sh'es opening for Widespread Boring for the Chicago shows. Maybe she'll come out during Pigeons and take over for Todd Nanc(y) it would be an improvement.

Jazz Fest!!! Think they'll add a night show in NOLA??

Yeah......I do have to disagree.....boston has an amazing music scene....lots of bands play it and frequently at that.....for example xavier rudd at the paradise then moe at the orpheum in the next few weeks......also, I never really got into wsp although I have heard alot of jimmys playing......what shows does everyone recommend?

Im refering to the assholes who give you shit when you post a comment that is negative. Especially mine. I think them out and then i rip. Sorry for generalizing i just figured whose who knew what i was talking about would immediately understand that i never meant you. If you think its ok for a site like jambase to advertise for a tool like blake lewis then you are a mindless moron. Think of why i say mindless instead of other words. Someone mentioned that he was on american idol. Immediately if you know he was on that show from watching it you can be disregarded. If you would actually sit down and watch that show for entertainment, you can be disregarded. Disregarded as a mindless brain slave to the new world order. Ask yourself why all these people are being called talented by the mainstream media when none of them play instruments, none of them went to school for music, none of them can read music, none of them know anything about american musical heritage(blues, bluegrass, jazz) or world musical heritage. Call me a nut but its obvious that they want to set the bar so incredibly low so that no one trys hard to be good at anything. Same thing with school expectations, same thing with how articulate your expected to be(all primetime shows consist of stupid men who do stupid things and then get made fun of by thier wives for comedic relief. Name me one single show that exibits meterial that would be beyond a 3rd grade reading level. Understand that when i criticize jambase its not just about the music, its mostly about the music. I mean i just want an organized place where i can find all the good stuff i catch at the festies and none of the bullshit that you find in the mainstream. Its not just about the music though. Its about culture and how people are allowing the slave drivers to destroy creativity. When jambase devotes a writer to a whole article about jay-z they are wasting a resource that couldve beeter served the fan base. I have no problem if you like jayz, you can like whatever you want. But i do have a problem when the site who built its fan base on covering the festival community turns its back on its base to coax some outside people into thier advertising bank. Face it morons, thats what its all about. Now its devolved even further. Not only did they start writing articles about ppl that have no business being on the site, and no i didnt decide that they have no business being on jambase the community actually decides that as a whole, not only did they start writing useless articles now they feel that we are so culturally devolved that we would actually respond to advertisement for someone who came up on american idol. Start getting offended you slaves, they are making fun of you. Look at how they used your open mindedness to slip in the bullshit. If you think im full of crap, then your are either blind or you are a dumb sheep who has dug thier head into the sand up to thier ass... Sorry to flip out and say mean things...

OMG, are you really going to post that long rambly ranting crap on every post? Really?

panic loves playing for their fanbase that is for sure. would love to see them out west more. i am just glad they are still out there having fun and making great music so i cant complain too much. one of my favorite bands of all time and 30+ shows later i love em more today than ever.

delayneyira - i understand your anger, and i respect most, if not all, of your views. i, too, am positively miffed and rather pissed as to why jambase would advertise for that blake tool.

but the fact is that you can't hate the people who have made this site what it is today - people who put their money, sweat and hard work into making it as kick-ass as it is. you can't hate them, especially, for trying to ACTUALLY make a little bit of money from it, god forbid. how long do you think making this site has taken out of these people's pockets? i'm sure that now, if anything, they're probably breaking even. possibly making some meager earnings.

but are you really going to blame them for that, the people who built this shit from the ground up? if you are, and you hate it so much, then don't come back here. i appreciate what you're trying to do, i really do. i'm the biggest anti-sheep, the most anti-new world order. but this website isn't ushering in this new realm of new world order ignorance and complicity. if anything they're doing their best to reverse it, by promoting the most magical art of them all - live fuckin' music. if anything can turn someone on to thinking differently in 0.5 seconds, it's a live show.

now 99% of the people who frequent jambase are going to see blake lewis' preppy, pink and diamond clad face and say: "wow that guy must make some shitty music, i'll remember his name so i never listen to it," get a chuckle and check the newswire for posts like this WIDESPREAD PANIC update here.

now channel your rage and put it into something useful, like campaigning for ron paul.

p.s. jay-z is the fucking shit. he may make commercial rap, but it's good, for the most part. on second thought, go buy reasonable doubt, smoke a blunt, listen to it, and THEN go campaign for ron paul.

I'v seen JAY-Z in concert before, and let me tell you, he is NO Blake Lewis, my friends.

see everybody in chicago!
